An Unfinished Poem...

For the past three months, I have been writing poems on and off left and right. I've only completed one poem out of three, but here is an unfinished poem I am currently working on.

 "Anguish"
On the surface, I’m happy
But on the inside, I’m weeping
It seems as if no matter what I do
I’m always going to be reminded
By past mistakes and past hurts

It’s always one step forward
Taking two steps back
Constantly asking myself
Is it worth fighting for
Something or someone already lost?

For today, I am Job
A shell of a girl I once knew
Wasting away in the midst
Of chaos and confusion –
I’m only ashes and dust.

The anguish of my spirit
And the bitterness of my soul
Is all I’ve ever known.
Then I ask myself,
Does it really have to be this way?

I hope to return with some updates throughout the semester. Until then, see you later peeps!

Nothing prepared me for how law school was going to go.  Since it is summer now, I want to get back and start writing again, one day at a time.  Although this blog post is going to be super short, law school has kept me busy. Now to wait for grades.

Unmasked

I've had a lot of things on my heart and mind lately. Somehow, I have entered a new season in my life without even realizing it. I'm not the same person I was a year ago. I've grown as a human being in retrospect realizing that everything happens for a reason. I've learned to embrace my weaknesses and will gladly boast in them, because God created me for a purpose. Interpreting social cues has been a long-standing weakness, even as I started this blog almost four years ago. Sometimes, when I read old posts, I do not recognize the person I was when I wrote them. Writing them was a way to channel the raw emotion I've held inside. Looking back, I could have channeled my emotions privately. I don't know for certain how the future will look like moving forward, but things are so much different now and I am still learning. As a digital citizen on the Internet, I have a responsibility and an obligation to live authentically and humbly, and to spread positivity and
