Reflections

Looking back on the mistakes I made

Now, knowing they were lessons learned

Reflections

Looking back on the chaos that ensued

Now knowing that

You get the bad sometimes before the good

Reflections

Looking back at the rage I felt

Now knowing how to control myself and move forward

Reflections

Looking back on it all

Now knowing I am standing tall

Through it all

T.O.L.-Reflection

Those Insecurities  

Unexperienced 

Growing!

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , ,

Concrete raised me rough, but I learned to move clean through the noise

I’m growing

Every block tried to mark me, but I flipped the script, and kept my poise

I’m growing

I’ve seen nights that swallowed whole dreams

Left pockets and hearts empty

Still, I stitched my spirit tight, turned hunger into voice

I’m growing

People love the shine now, never the grind

Never the bruised‑knuckle climb

But the mirror knows the truth: I earned every inch of choice

I’m growing

I walk with a calm that comes from surviving storms nobody saw

My shadow stands taller now, carrying a different kind of noise

I’m growing

My path is a garden.

Wild, stubborn, undeniable and beautiful

Every step I take writes its own truth, recognize its own voice.

It’s forever ongoing

I’m growing!

Blessings and Love.

  • Toxic Love 
    by Ray’Elaine
    Sick and tired of toxic love I’m done with all the pain No longer will I rise above And endure the same again  The poison that you bring Has left me feeling drained My heart no longer sings From all the hurt and stains  I’m ready to let you go And find a love that’s true One that won’t bring me low Or make … Continue reading Toxic Love  →

Phoenix!

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , ,

As I lay in ashes, broken and torn 

My will to live was almost worn 

But deep within, a spark remained 

A glimmer of hope that still sustained 

From that ember, I rose once more 

A phoenix, strong and fierce at the core 

With wings spread wide, I soared up high 

Leaving behind all the pain and the sighs 

For though I had suffered and been brought low 

I knew that I was destined to grow 

And with each flap of my fiery wings 

I left behind my old, broken things 

I rose above the struggles and the pain 

A symbol of hope, a beacon to reign 

For though life may be full of strife 

There is always a way to start anew and thrive 

So let the flames come, let them burn 

For I know, I will return 

Stronger, wiser, and more free 

For deep within, I have what it takes 

To rise above the ashes and make no mistakes 

Like a phoenix rising 

It’s in me! 

-Phoenix- 

Blessings and Love

The third month of the year and I am feeling good. I feel like I am going in the right direction. Going to keep working on my craft and pushing myself to complete my goals and fulfill my dream.

It is also Women’s History Month!!!!

New month, new goals to set, fresh ideas to let out. Putting pen to paper all month getting things done. February went fast and it was an okay month, got some stuff done for my business and all three books that I am working on. Now time to move on to more better things and goals.

Any new goals for you all? Are any projects coming out? Books/Poetry books?

Excited for this month and going to take it step by step goal by goal. Get It Done!

Time is flying happy third month! Happy Writing!!

Battle With Myself II

Poems, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Battle with Myself II

Still here battling the

Inner me

Scars that scream out

Damn these struggles

Even with them I

Try to rise above

Within the struggles

Remain

Beautiful

Smart

Woman

Remain positive

Stand my ground

Battles that I try

To overcome

Try not to

Let it keep

Me down

Get the grasp

Of life

Love

Hope

The world

Even with these battles

I am becoming

One with me

Grown woman

Inner me

Battles

It will not last long

Well

That is what they say

Battles

Do not stay

They leave wounds

Battle in me

Going to

Go down

I will keep

Fighting

Destroying

Who comes against me

Taking them as they come

Struggle/battles

Life battles

I will win

Even with

The demons within

The dark side of ME

Still this

Battle within myself

Will subside.

A work in progress

Or maybe

The

Battle with myself continues….

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.
