I am but a shell
Empty and hollow inside
No purpose or meaning
Just a vessel to reside
My soul has departed
Leaving me to decay
A mere shadow of myself
Fading slowly away
No emotion or feeling
Just a numbness within
A lifeless existence
Where does it all begin?
I long for a purpose,
To be filled once again,
To break free from this shell,
And feel alive within
-The Shell Of Me-
Blessings and Love!
Thank you for reading
Forbidden
My heart, My soul
Forbidden
My strength, My passion
Forbidden
Reaching the depths
Of me
Forbidden
My drive, my determination
Forbidden
My mind, My body
Forbidden
I am the forbidden fruit
Forbidden
You must work for it
Hard
Forbidden
Have you wondering
Who is she?
Me, such a mystery
The forbidden beauty
Forbidden
Sometimes
Hidden
Forbidden
Not for everyone
My life, My dreams
Forbidden
Me, leave imagination
Everywhere I go
Forbidden
Me, I am
Forbidden beauty
They want to know more about me
Forbidden
Me, I am untouchable, hard
To understand
Forbidden
My insights, My world
Never unleashed
She is
Forbidden.
Blessings all!
Thank you for reading.

Good Morning my blog peeps!
Today’s quote is 👇🏾👇🏾
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Sometimes it is best to just go for it, take those risks.
No risks, No reward
Get It Done!
Happy Tuesday!
Have a good one.
Blessings and Love!

What activities do you lose yourself in?
The activity/hobby I do that I get lost in is writing. When I am in a creative groove, writing takes over. Sometimes I lose track of the time. Writing is a activity that soothes me. Weather I am writing poetry, my personal thoughts, in my journal, or for my books. I love to write. It brings me piece of mind and me writing is a way for me to vent since I am a loner (LOL).
Another one is music and dancing. With good music playing, a good playlist, I can get lost in music for hours. Just like writing, which is why I love and do both to escape the world sometimes.
It is good having a favorite activity that helps calm you and makes you happy. Especially on those bad days. To keep you busy when needed.
What is your favorite activity to do? What do you do to keep calm? Care to share?
Write On!! Have a good one.
Blessings and Love!

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
My middle name is Elaine. It is special to me because I use it as an Author and blogger pseudonym. I use the first three letters of my first name, and the last part is my middle name. I just decided to go with that name. I like it! It is also one of my aunt’s middle name. No other significance behind the name. Ray’Elaine!
Do you use a pseudonym? What does your middle name mean?

**Some information behind the name.
The name Elaine means Light, Shining Light, The Bright One. And the origin of the name is Greek.
So, been writing like crazy today (Of Course, lol) and have not eaten anything in hours. I was really ignoring my growling stomach lol. I got to take a break soon to eat. Sometimes it is so hard to put the pen down. A good night of brainstorming, research, editing, and writing. I love nights like these. Where writing is fully taking over my day. Homegirl need a break. For sure
She is Hungry lol.
And now I am up late still writing and hungry LOL. So, I am about to cook some southern fried potatoes, Cajun Shrimp and some broccoli and cheese, while jamming to my music. Whew!! That is what I have a taste for. Yummy!!! Also want banana split, but that would be way too much this late (Greedy Me).
Then it will be back to writing. Got a few writing goals that need to be completed. A few more poems to write and finish a chapter or two for my book. Yeah BUSY. Get It Done! I am focused.
You ever had those days that were a blur? Just flowing through the day?
Blessings!

Sometimes you just must remind yourself that you will succeed, you will win. You will overcome obstacles that are in your way.
Remind yourself to push hard every day and never give up. Keep pushing through it all, even if you must cry, scream, let it all out. Don’t give up.
Sometimes we have to talk to our inner selves and give some pep talks. Let ourselves know that all will be okay. Say you are strong and willing. Say you believe in your dreams, Say you have faith.
Remind yourself that you have your own back.
Just a reminder to take of yourself! Self-Love, Self-Care is the best care!
A reminder!
Remember to love yourself and those around you.
Thoughts???
Blessings
