    Don’t Double the Standard

    It is a shame that we shame a woman who feels what she feels between her legs when a man aware of his power is there because she was never afforded that comfort, first, in her father’s arms: so now she feels safe in a devil’s charm.

    A man willing to wear vulnerability on his sleeve and shed pent up tears of fury from years of violence and silent worry ‘because real men carry pain until they’re buried’ is ridiculed and mocked – until he breaks himself and then others due to the lack of a nurturing mother.

    Individuals trying to escape curses from both sides of toxic family ties are criticized and forced to wear masks of false valor and blinded eyes with no real place of safety to hide from those in which they do not wish to socialize.

    No congregation of normal; everything is swept under the rug and we must speak formal to not offend what society says is acceptable and necessary: when will we receive actual sanctuary and support outside of rapport and openly oppressive courts?

    Yin must submit to Yang versus balance from both energies.

    No respect for the source, power and love from the Omnipotent and Divine deity.

    We crumble and shatter at the slightest shift in favorable circumstances with no guidance into harmony or unity.

    The standard of synchronicity has been established on a shaky foundation and left us all broken; therefore we’re in the perfect position to change the narrative and even the playing field.

    Allow women, men and children to dream.
    Afford peace and liberty to all.

    Yes, divided we may fall but may we all be given a fair chance to live out loud and safe spaces to kneel when all we can do is crawl.

    Clarisse H.

      • Mavis, it has taken some time for me feel comfortable speaking and living out loud but I had to realize that in order for change to begin, the change has to start with me. I’m grateful to God for this gift of being able to touch and reach others with my words and if you are the one person I’ve reached, I thank God especially for you! Thank you!
