Write a poem or letter to the world about an experience that changed you or your life for the better 1 months ago My Destiny
That moment I chose myself & my path of destiny
The path that was made for me
Was the happiest moment of my lifeI no longer carried the heaviness of oppression & my generational strife
I no longer had to pretend I enjoyed being an ordinary housewifeI ran towards my truth quicker than the wind could blow
I could finally smile and exhale my ancestral whoas
I chose to be the person only a seer could see
I chose to stand tall & SINGI AM no longer a blackbird, but a phoenix of almighty power
I watched the clocks speed up by the hourAs I flew into the unknown above their racist towers
With a new perspective of self-love & dignityAs I sat there resting, finally able to drink my tea
And basque in the glory of who I could BEEmbodying the path that was made for me
Celebrating that I chose,
My heavenly destinyVoting starts June 17, 2024 12:00am

Zi Savage (Ngozi Okachi) shared a letter in the
Race and Diversity group 1 months, 1 weeks ago When You Are Ready
There is no resolution without first a solution
An awakening, a calling from whence we first knew itTo clear the path before us
From war and destruction and all those who grew itLet them hear you now
For I am the poet who stands tall
Arm and Arm with the ancestors, sisters, brothers, enbys
I love them allYou cannot take out OUR pride and OUR joy
Your hands are bloody and they constantly toy
With the hate of many, it plagues us all& We sleep with one eye open now
But the sun will rise againBecause we see you
And we feel you from when you were smallThis life you’ve chose was NOT the one you called
Just a mere thorn in your knee that made you fall
From GODs own eyes
Turned to dirty spiesBut we are here to help you
Lift you from your broken path
To wipe away your years of endless wrath
That the child inside you has had to carryAlone and tired and just barely…
Able to breathe a breath of newness
Filled with flowers of love
And their sweet dewnessIt is safe to be now
In a place of familyWe reach our hands out
Our hearts out
When you are finally ready…to be as one
