PAD Challenge Day 18: Write a reconsideration poem.

2nd Thoughts 💭💬

on the other hand 
it was love their mind/body/soul needed
quality time they'll recall back in time 
when words of affirmations matched the acts of 
services & the best gifts from YOU & I were 
presence, trust, & empathy in periods of tough times when 
limited edition of earthly angels like US 
genuinely showed up to touch a heart like never before

PAD Challenge Day 30: Sticky Notes 2 Self ft. Loose-leaf Paper (This is the Remix) 🗒📝

PAD Challenge Day 30: Take one of your poems (or several of your poems) from earlier this month and remix it. Write a remix poem. Sticky Notes 2 Self ft. Loose-leaf Paper (This is the Remix) 🗒📝 Sometimes-at-times a 3x3 sticky note is too tiny.  Loose-leaf Paper can tell it all and rule on college rule.  Break it down.  I can go in depth,  line by line, about  the things I tell myself: "Dear Black Girl, remember why you rock and settle for nothing less."

PAD Challenge Day 29 (Two-for-Tuesday): Write a "near the end" and/or "near the beginning" poem. Near the End of Burn Out We all faced many end  of the roads where we want  to throw in the towel Throw up our hands  Hide our hearts  Shield our backs Save our other cheek Second guess our  intentions and purpose  We may even want  to walk away from it  all while it remains  worth what it is worth before we completely lose ourselves or our marbles Until self-care urgently  calls us to gently say It is okay to pause survival mode It is okay to lead your way out of  leading everything and everybody Come back I have a safe place  for you to rest your eyes,  and bones I have shelter for you to ease your emotional intelligence and empathy I have soul food  to fill your soul. Near the Beginning of New Anew Unused Never done On the way I see it clear Scent of lilac  Ready for my tongue Like a drop of honey Feels like heave...

Do what your  ancestors didn't  get a chance to do.      Be EXTRA good so  when people talk  about you,             they are really talking GOOD about you.   RUN,  but do not run yourself RAGGEDY.
