Many people get depressed around the winter time. Mental illness touches the hearts of many families. Being creative to have an outlet will take you to a heightened place. Suicide rate is at an all time high during this season.
Everyone has a story to tell & a poem to write. I believe all of life's experiences are being dealt with snap shot Kodak moments to enjoy. We are all gifted when it comes to the creative arts.
it started in the garden some time ago
Eve took a bite of the apple
the tempter was right there all along
yet where sin abound grace abound all the more
suddenly I seen it with my own eyes the other day
please and thank you at the dinner table

To know this if the good man knew

as a child running wild in the street
come full circle to the realization

I changed, as one would say-
But untraceable to the outside world,

Then shatter my hope
Laugh at my hopes and dreams

Enriched melanin
From a young age we learn and encourage to
Take pride in ourselves
