PAD Challenge Day 6: "Coming of Age" and Constant Variable"

PAD Challenge Day 6: Write a Change and/or Don’t Change poem.

Coming of Age

I can't repeat this year again
not even in another phase
Just be gentle with this wide spirit
and the steps awaiting
at the center of this stage

Down to the days of ahead,
To what I release or save
Let new knowledge tell my wisdom,
You have nothing to be afraid

Just open up your heart
Stroke softly through the waves
before all the music fades
Because even the art of
you will always change.

Constant Variables

I wish everyone could see
how you constantly
average out to be
dysfunctional in
every equation.
You're never equivalent
in the areas desired or
welcoming as you appear to be.
Your expressions never define
the summation of community.
You don’t add anything
to anyone's life.
You just subtract,
cause chaotic division.
Hell, none of the integers
that hang around you can
commonly factor "unity"
from your soul.
Because it’s always about you,
yourself, and your bundles
of low self-esteem.
Even your fake energy is foul.
The moment you enter the equation,
everyone loses a sense of taste
behind their smiles.
It drives me crazy to see you
manipulate the positives.
That's why I disconnected
myself from you.
I can't even...
never really could
multiply my face by twos.
You were never a "Day One",
not even a Zero,
you been below.
All of your negatives
discloses your insecurities.

I dare you to try to distribute
any shade over my blessings,
when all there is of you is
a list of miscalculated lessons
simplifying you down.

PAD Challenge Day 27: 🎂 Cake 🎂 and Eat It Too

PAD Challenge Day 27: Write an an anapodoton poem. Cake and Eat It Too  Life is not always berry sweet full of confetti, rainbows  and butteflies in our circle of life. It can sprinkle unfortunate surprises. We can receive lemons after lemons  in a dark black forest of medley roses, even when our hearts are red velvet. Anywhere there's an Angel, a Devil will try to cake up; Get rich off your Godly confections. Kind of ice cold to say, Vanilla and Chocolate  will never always have a fair  share of what rises and pans out. The entanglement of the swirl  is just as incompatible and conflicting. No matter the number of layers, some will be handed corners, others more centers of it all. No matter how small, medium or large; Short or tall; Buttercream is not always  creme de la creme to us all. But we must keep a glaze  on God's miracle whips. Keep whisking the  ingredients of prayer  and supplication to bake  our special purposes on Earth. D'ElegantOne

PAD Challenge Day 30: Don't Be Surprised

PAD Challenge Day 30: Write a surprise poem. Don't Be Surprised  If the sun's full round face becomes a square  in between patches of scattered clouds.  If the moon no longer opens the night and  the stars no longer dance around your head. If the birds don't hold a tune  and the caterpillars never cocoon.  If the ocean doesn't wave and  the trees don't stare back at you. If the ones that loved you today,  hate you tomorrow. If the favorite voice you once heard goes weak and can no longer speak. If the lips you once french kissed,  harvest a new passionate tongue of deceit. If the arms that knit your heart close,  cut your heartbeat thread loose. If the one that was quick with a vital  hello is the first to ghost you with no excuse. If the one that painted a rainbow on your face,  widely draws in the color blue to make you cry too. If family becomes strangers and  friends more like family. If friends become lovers. If you wake up alone, remember  time is of the essen

PAD Challenge Day 22: What I 💜 About My Sister-Friends

Image
PAD Challenge Day 22: Write a "What (blank)" poem. What I Love About My Sister-Friends  I have three older than me. One is 49.  She could be President  but she's an Oprah and  First Lady Michelle to me. One is 47.  She is the carribean carnival of life. Teaches me to never think twice. One is almost 43.  She can set a flame of excellence throughout an entire community. Then there are three; the same age as me. One is an Aries too. Adventurous, independent and empathic like me. Two is cool water, loyal and assertive.  Three is Vogue and creates things you've never thought you would see. Four of us together,  we're like the Louisiana's holy trinity. But what I really love about my sister friends is their unconditional love, and transparency. We even have the same positive energy. We can show our wounds, share our woes,  cry, laugh, defend  and be our authentic selves without feeling like frenemies. D'ElegantOne
