A Couple Poems

Since we are in the middle of the semester, I decided to share a couple of poems I've written at the moment. Since poetry has been a recurring thing on my blog, I wanted to share more of my work for my own personal enjoyment. I have more coming soon, so watch out for more.

 Dancing
When clouds float
across mountain tops,
Impressions and misty waters stop
leaving footprints
as they glide
upon hearts
taking part –
dancing
set apart on color charted
fashionable runways
Our eyes gaze
Sun sets ablaze
enough for one last song
crafted by human errors.

Screenwriting

Like an archer 
She shoots and misses
She aims --her intended target
the screenplay buzzing 
through miles 
without reaching its 
bullseye

Like changing gears 
on a rough drive
through the mountains, 
a clear fog
reaching the surface. 

Like a capstone paper assignment 
receiving feedback in red font --
like the mysterious Minotaur 
straight out of a science fiction novel.

60% action and 40% dialogue
Without an end in sight. 
Just as when you need a fix
the pages become blank. 

Less dialogue -- ideal
Visual mediums 
notwithstanding

Like I said before, these are likely not going to be the final versions of poems I work on. So it is important to just get them out here to show the process of poetry revisions.

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

First Two Years, Summarized

I recently completed my 2L year. All I have to say is, it is hellish.  I had some highs, and some pretty low lows. 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
