What’s with all the Body Shame?
What’s with all the body shame? Who signed us up for this ridiculous game? Why should we aspire to look the same? Where did we inherit this habit so lame? We think it’s our fault-we’re to blame And yet the system creates a suffocating frame To achieve a certain look-that will bring us fame This is […]

Proving your SELF-the cost of it!
You tell yourself just do it! And other times…just cool it! Why can’t you just get it? You have fallen into the orchestra pit Living your life like a hypocrite The vulnerable part of you throwing a fit! It would be happy with a simple base hit The ego pushes you into a fire pit Your […]

We believe what’s printed in the press,Our image on […]
I drank the Kool Aid
I drank the Kool Aid. I believed the demonstrations and the parade. I wanted equality and all it portrayed. We’ve lost ourselves in this grand masquerade, Being mother, wife, daughter, doctor and maid. We shout from the rooftops “We’ve made it”! But, we’ve been played… We bought into a system and all it conveyed, Ignorant of […]
Choosing YOU
Choosing YOU Is what you need to do. While listening to other points of view, Opposing opinions may spew and askew. You may simply respond with a kind “thank you,” Or perhaps a curt “adieu.” They have their own agenda Their own world view That they hope you will live up to. It’s not your […]
Power of the Phone
Oh the power we give our phone Our lives we no longer own So afraid we are of being alone We have offered our minds to “APPLE” on loan Whether we be young or fully grown We are being silently trained to become a drone Believing we are smarter with our clever smart phone We […]
