...doctor
I slowly crept close to the door
Peering through the window to see what was in store
White coat syndrome has my nerves rattled
All I can hear is click clatter from the nurse quickened gait
As I check in everything seems a blur
People being checked in and out swiftly
Everyone moving in sync not causing a stir
My simple movement towards the counter interrupts
How can I help you rolled off…

Mercurial
I rise ready to take on the world
Energy overflowing from all the gifts that have been stirred up
Many goals on the horizon
Ready to entertain any potential deterrent that would differ
Yet when the mood shifts unexpectedly
A recluse in the making has begun to cloud my judgment
Into a ball I turn as I’m protected in my own essence of depression
Darkness has forsaken any steps toward…

Sijo
Sight set, blot out the darkness soon shoot for the moon in June
Half of the year has passed, thoughts surpassed amassing a grasp
Take over the world with one line of my word flow cast in snow

Bring me to life
Finding a man who sees the broken pieces of my heart
Hating the trials and tribulations I’ve been through dating
Anger stored up as weapons ready to be unleashed
Inclusive members of this club of walled emotional outbursts
Joy unmatched as I watch your eyebrows unfurl
Words impacting your demeanor with destructive tendencies
Incapable of seeing how this isn’t benefitting me
Sullen times in…

Various Thoughts
I ought to not be petty
As they drive down the road in that loud Chevy
Hearing screeching sounds and gasps now my heart is heavy
As I waited for my bus I ran into my high school buddy’s mom Betty
My soul is anchored in the Lord
Yet my thoughts seem to be continuously in a mixing bowl
Struggling to correct future plans that now seem cajoled
Sights set on higher standards now I’m on a…

Proust Questionnaire
Sitting on a bench people watching
Unable to see the day the cure releases this disease from me
Trying to defeat this petty person that lives inside of me
Selfishness triggers animosity that uncovers ignorance
My mother is my shero for a myriad of reasons
Food has always been an extravagance that hasn’t been the healthiest
Melancholy tirades have left me in sullen moods
Kindness sometimes…

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day…
Temperature changing hourly
Needing a sweat towel from the hot flashes
Sunglasses while typing at my desk
Constantly desirous of some sort of beverage
Energy continuously removed from me
As if a vampire had chosen me for relief
Inflammation from enjoying vacations
Unable to relax self-care not intact
Body incapable of joy
Pharmacology becoming my source due to no care
Irritated…

It's me
Anticipating meeting a powerful person
Attending as many functions as possible
Placing myself at the right destination
Fulfilling commitments with taking over the world as my intent
Downward spiral of consent
Unwavering thoughts of insignificance
Dominating presence of spatial capacity
Lowering expectations from disappointment
Impacting the scene
As my smile gleams
Lupus on the lips of…

Fatigued Warrior
Able to sleep through the battle
Rest is a necessity
Inward parts doing more than most
Attacking everything in sight
Plight full of different pain destinations
Swollen ankles, skin rashes, extremities frozen
Many medical diagnoses
Developing my own philosophy
Proclaiming robust admiration for strides in the donations
Unable to meet many obligations
Calendar full of spreading…

Purple Variations
Depiction of royalty biblically
Fruit of my fancy bears the deepest hue
Basketball team adorned with a tint
Intricate in my formation of ROY G BIV memorization
Calming nature through its stations
Popping out in a bouquet
Enhancing flavors of beverages of content
Stroking the psyche through the spray on my pillow nightly

Slavery
As we strolled through our gardens
Hearts were hardened
When unwanted visitors
Engaged us with sinister intent
Adapting to a world not heaven sent
Men wayward actions driving culture forward
Unable to row back home
Beaten as the ground was sown
Business minded through my lineage
Entrepreneur spirit due to open minded consent
Divulged into a selfish outlook
Drowned in mind, body, and…

Hunt
For the life of me
Understanding of my disease escapes thee
Fighting for TikTok regulation
Vote for the bill that increases our funding
Unable to reach out to you formerly
Many smoking mirrors deterring my movement forward
As my legislator
My concerns should resonate
Perhaps the fader needs to be eliminated
Clearly excavating emails and phone calls from constituents
Campaign promises…

Haunt
It’s the whispers I hear as I climb the mountain
Thoughts of not making the mark
All of their struggle
To be torn apart
All my fault rings in my head
Making it a priority to look more into the secrecy
No one spoke about it outside of my family
Shunned sometimes labeled rude
Gaining momentum on what was happening
Blood flow increased
Cramps released sharp pains
Debilitating motions…

Someone
I wanted to be famous
To change the life I was living
Being told I should be on stage
Led to dreams of grandeur
As life unfolded I was being exposed
Leadership opportunities
Speaking engagements
I’m becoming the woman of my dreams
Living in a technicolor scene
Not understanding that I am my own dream
Standing outside of the frame
Unable to pimp the game
Story laid out before…

You don't know my name
Rolling my eyes as my head falls lowly
In school I dreaded the roll being called
In school I dreaded the roll being called
Name destroyed in pronunciation
No distinction of character of available for distinction
I am not lupus
The disease has entered my life
Through the strife
Conquerors have upheld my plight
Transformative nicknames of my personality
Unwilling to need validation from…

Monarch
All hail the queen
As loyalty beams
The knees bow as the swords gleam
Is this history beckoning
As the butterfly travails the earth
The initial stage of transformation may be strange
Adapting to these new ways of survival
Brings forth a revival of life to admire
My arch in life was birthed out of survival
In the archival of strong black women
I surmised to hold it all in
In using that…

Postage
The thoughts that cross my mind as I notice the stamp
How long did this organization fight to get this picture placed
When they accomplished this goal
Could this have been what they were striving for
Face forever remains active
Upon the right corner of national campaigns
Smudged from the many hands of processing
Misshapen to due unforeseen circumstances
Who thought of the concept of a…
