Tall and proud, cast in shadows, the silhouette of a man,
A figure forged from fire and pain, his spirit steadfast, a fan.
For every trial, a lesson learned, inscribed upon his skin,
Like ancient symbols etched in ink, his countenance within.

His body, made of steel and stone, a vessel unbreakable,
A force to be reckoned with, unyielding and unshakable.
His muscles, like the roots of trees, unbreakable in their grip,
The bond of ancestors unbroken, through every trial and slip.

His eyes, like burning embers, flames flickering within,
A soul that’s seen a thousand years, yet still alive and raring to win.
His scars, like tales of triumph, etched upon his flesh,
A testament to fortitude, a spirit that won’t rest.

Through every desert, every storm, he’s journeyed through the night,
Rising ever higher, like the phoenix, taking flight.
Breathing in winds of change, igniting flames of hope,
His heart beats with a newfound strength, a soul that’s learned to cope.

My Dear Body,

This letter is to express my gratitude and love for you. You are more than societal ideals and judgments; you are a masterpiece. Strength and beauty shine through your delicate frame as you carry me with grace and endurance, allowing me to experience life fully.

Together, we have faced challenges and overcome obstacles. In those moments of doubt and uncertainty, you have shown me the power of perseverance. Your size does not define your ability to achieve greatness. You are a force to be reckoned with, capable of so much more than what meets the eye.

I apologize for any unfair judgment I’ve placed upon you. Those moments were not a true reflection of your worth. You are worthy of authentic love, respect, and kindness, regardless of your size or shape. I admire your strength and resilience, carrying me through each day. I promise to love you, care for you, and embrace our uniqueness

Together, we will celebrate our individuality and embrace the qualities that make us who we are. We will stand tall, even in the face of heartbreak, knowing that our worth is not dictated by external appearances. We will redefine beauty on our own terms, radiating confidence and self-love from the depths of our souls.

Remember, Body, we are a team. We have each other’s backs, and we will support one another unconditionally. Let’s embrace our differences, celebrate our strengths, and be proud of who we are, regardless of our physical appearance. But I want you to know that these actions are not driven by a desire to conform to societal standards, but rather to ensure your well-being.

You are a gift, and I am grateful to walk this journey with you. In a world that may try to diminish your light, know that you are cherished. Thank you for being my consistent companion.

With boundless love and gratitude,
-Anna G.

It’s no secret! Everywhere we turn, everywhere we look; we are being lied to. As I lay on a thorny bed of lies forced to endure my racing beta thoughts. Grief struck me with the force of lightning, for my thoughts once naively lain upon the idea that the people running the world would never deceive us.
Elected officials are akin to the wagging tails and sloppy tongues on happy, goofy dogs; and world leaders share the same thing in common: They all have a serpent’s tongue. Media syndicates cause more devastation than nuclear weapons, weaponized to disseminate fear and upload subliminal messages, hacking into our subconscious minds with rogue viruses.
Due to social programming (conditional programming), change is not so easy for most people, but change is what the world needs to see. Changes in: Governments, politics, economics, and our legal systems are long overdue. Perhaps the reason why change is so hard for most people: It requires them to reprogram their minds to look at the ugly truth. Most people would rather look the other way than face change.
Change is removing the knife that was stuck in Malcolm X’s “back 9 inches” from our legal systems, and implementing ways for citizens to heal. Instead, the same bloody knife is left in everyone’s back 6 inches deep, impeding progress, causing citizens to bleed profusely from their unhealed wounds.
Propagandists feed us innocent truths, obscuring a host of nefarious lies. They tell us fluoride protects our teeth, but it severely calcifies our pineal glands and fogs our brains. Globalists make insidious claims about chemtrails being harmless or how they curtail global warming, yet chemtrails are laced with undisclosed toxic chemicals; killing us off and controlling our minds. Although misinformation is seen as something more forgivable than disinformation, depending on the news sources or sources of information, all lies can be spun as the truth.
Real change is giving citizens the power to stop Derrick Chauvin while he had his knee firmly pressed on George Floyd’s neck and spine, suffocating him to death. Real change is removing authoritative power from the unscrupulous grip of Governments and putting it back into the hands of the people. Real change is treating people fairly and equally because they are human beings, not just because they identify as LGBTQ.
If you ask me, everyone can see the necessity for change in the world, but it’s before they realize “they must be the change they want to see.” Then, most people take a step back or revoke their original stance on change. There can be no change until people take a sobering look at themselves and do what they can to make a difference in the world. Unquestionably, what must change in the world is simple! There need not be anymore Top Secrets and we must stop being lied to. Lied to by our Governments; lied to by politicians; lied to by physicians; lied to by philanthropic organizations like the WHO. Lies! Lies! Lies! Like rotting flesh in a bag being sold as fresh meat at full price.

Changing the world is a daunting task; all the dust and debris that we can not unsee. Crime and killings are almost as common as finding a dime on the street and the amount of homeless people is not a sight to see. These are the poor aspects of the place that we live in, but don’t have to live in a world that we aren’t proud to see! How do we change it when we all see things differently?

No matter what side of the winding world you are on, time is distributing equally. There are 24 hrs in a day, and we all choose to use it in our unique way. if every gun was substituted with a thought of graditude, every crime substituted with a compliment and for everyone without a home a place to stay, hey, who’s to say that tomorrow can’t be a world changing day?

Opportunities in the world missed from fear,
A foe I know too well.
It reminds me of why I stay up all night,
Scrolling and scrolling,
At the lives of others,
The blue light in the background putting me to sleep.

I want change in the world where I am not dreaming someone else’s story,
Where memories aren’t digital and photos are taken with cameras,
Images I can hold in my hands and cherish in my heart.
Rather, a tangible memory at the hands, like a beloved book I can turn the pages to a time I once loved.

I want a world where it is safe to love, no more heart breaks or lack thereof, because
If you love yourself, you can survive a heartbreak.

A world where you have a story to say how you met your significant other.
And not just on an app, which is fine, fate has its tale.
But I want a world where there is change in how we speak with one another.
And by speak, I mean actually speak not just through hands on a touchscreen.

I’d like to see thought put into the words spoken to one another,
Where time is taken less for granted.
And where communication has improved,
To the point you know if you’ll never hear back from a love interest,
Because you communicated your disinterest or shared your feelings.

I want you to tell me how you feel
Without fear of a disappearing act.

I want change in this world where we learn how to deal with difficult feelings.
And not push them to the side like that message left unsent,
Discarded love letters on the side of the road.
I want encouragement to say hi to someone new, less social anxiety.

I want change in the world where you can toss your social anxiety to the side,
Where fear is faced instead of avoiding, change.
I want a world with less fear because it prevents you from talking to your neighbor.
Not only that, but I want to live my daily life in peace.

I know it is daunting to want world peace,
But there can be world peace in my internal world.

In my peaceful internal world, I am basking in the grass with no shoes on,
And dancing to the music of my soul, the change I want to see where time
Stops still. Being able to take in the moment, no guilt for a silent stillness and
Enjoying a moment, to be fully present in the moment. A mind focused at one task
At a time, I want to be able to live life with only one job on my mind.

I find that fear and change go hand in hand.
There is comfort in staying the same and I want a world where change is embraced.
And I want time to stop still with a pause in the moment at night, returning to
Simpler times, phone out of sight, dreaming my own dreams.
