Told my feelings were fake
Laughed at for crying
Brutalized for refusing
Depicted as anomalous
This is my "home"

I exploded, caught a breath as I felt the silencing

Crossed volatile environments
Misunderstood ephemeral friends
Bullied, ostracized
Experienced injustice
This is school

I performed, in the illusion of shutting silencing

Living my curiosity
Knowledge is my strength
Reflexivity makes me grow
Embracing my difference
This is my refuge

I introspected, in the freedom of their paralyzed silencing

Meet mind-like people
Discovered my emotions
Explored my preferences
Dug my family history
This is my travel

I free-fell, as in my trust I hit structural silencing

Communicating humbly
Nourishing healthy relationships
Trusting my positions
Affirming my autonomy
This is my womanhood

Becoming a mother, I urge to gather the pieces for her freedom
I wrote this poem after days of suffering from my mother's intrusion in my maternity… how she made fun of me and invalidated my thoughts, actions and desires towards my future daughter.

You can bet I've broken so many metaphorical bones,
You can bet I've collected so many cursed tokens,
You can bet I've been selected to get my head shacked, she said depression,
I said repression,
Cause denying makes the truth all the more shady,
And then I've shaken to fading on the daily,
I'm a killer of a very special Miller,
Or perhaps that was the killer of me.

Now I'm a special boy,
Taken and shaken around like a toy,
You can confirm my death with many people,
Those who build steeples and feasible sentences,
I'm a prototype of a man,
Just watch as I ran to the sand underneath the sparkling grand moon man.

Take me up into the wind,
Bring me to the sinners den,
I will take his rusted hand,
And escape without a stand.

You can bet I've murdered so many beasts,
You can bet I've ruined so many well-lit feasts,
You can bet that I've introspected, to the point where I've retrospected into the infected past,
I keep on regretting going fast,
You're stuck in my head now get out before I pluck you out,
Tuck and roll to **** at everything that I lay eyes on.

Cause denying makes the truth all the more shady,
And then I've shaken to fading on the daily,
I'm a killer of a very special Miller,
Or perhaps that was the killer of me.

Cause denying makes the truth all the more shady,
And then I've shaken to fading on the daily,
I'm a killer of a very special Miller,
Or perhaps that was the killer of me.
A message to that ***** up I called a father.

I
I swam across oceans,
I crawled across deserts,
I trekked the highest peaks,
I crossed great rivers,
I ran bare on fire,
I walked naked on ice,
I have been a king,
I have been a *******,
I killed many,
I killed myself,
I created my gods,
I wore my religion,
I was a great friend,
I was a bitter enemy,
I lived for ages,
I died million times,
I followed the sun,
I was outrun by the nights,
I stopped....
I let the darkness to prevail....
I thought....
I meditated...
I introspected....
I stopped fighting the lies....
I was in the darkest of the nights...
...
Faint light within, then shone on the mighty me,
I now knew, why stars are not visible in the electrified city,
Truth was again facing me,
But, I fear the cycle to repeat.....
My will power suppresses the fear,
I wipe away my dry tear,
Hope has kept me alive,
So I know, hope will again show me the light....

I could close my eyes and believe,
That I am someone else,
captivating, lovely, maybe even yours,
But tonight I feel myself, alone, tortured,
but on this night, it's different,
the silence is reflective,
and although I wish I were someone else,
or perhaps with someone else, somewhere else,
I can acknowledge the flaws which are reflected in the dark,
introspected a thousand times,
like a tiny mirror in my brain,
excuse me while tonight I ramble, go insane

You are surrounding
Ignight it, just light it

You are surrounding..
Twisting and colliding
Right before my eyes..


Is it time to move my feet
To an introspected beat..

It ain't the speakers that will bleed
Its your heart that makes a beat


Roll with it
Rock with it



Take your time,
Don't live to fast,

Troubles will come
Troubles will pass..


All that you need now
Is in your soul..

You can do this.
Cause I told you so..


Dedicate yourself and
you can find yourself

Your never gonna know
If you don't ever try..

Get ready for that bang,
Don't burn with the flame..



Live it up and stay strong
Your memory lives on..

You've came along way
For you not to defeat pain

You'll never be the same
But you'll always be brave

So live for the people before you
For all the people that will know you
For inspiration of nations
For generations
Of greatness..

I know you would have tried
to reach that last person,
whom u thought will never judge you.

I know you would have thought
about your loved ones
to embrace one last time.

I know you would have
remembered your soulmate
you wished to say at least a goodbye.

I know you would have
introspected,
your choices of life,
where it went all wrong.

I know you would have tried
everything you could do.

But I wish you could have tried
a little more to keep up the fight
and not just give up on life
gone suddenly, so undefined.
