يضيع جمال الحياة عندما تنظر بعينيك فقط
and the beauty of life is lost when you only look with your eyes.

Lauryn Hill - Just Like Water
[why I gave up on water. and why it won't give up...
I quit writing poetry a while ago. its not because I have outgrown it or feel too afraid to write is just that I have gotten comfortable with saying it in my head and leaving it in there. I have gotten used to reciting things to myself and not letting anyone here but that - I have realized - just isn’t enough for me. I want to shout it on the corner of 20th and K and hope that someone stops...

“It’s good to keep wide-open ears and listen to what everybody else has to say, but when you come to make a decision, you have to weigh all of what you”ve heard on its own, and place it where it belongs, and come to a decision for yourself; you”ll never regret it. But if you form the habit of taking what someone else says about a thing without checking it out for yourself, you”ll find that other...

I just need someone to put this weight on.
[it all falls down.]
I didn’t do well this semester. I mean I did ok but I didnt do as well as I wanted to. And ok is not good enough for me. I expected it. I knew and I did nothing to handle the situation. I tried to convince myself to party less and study more but that wasn’t the issue and i knew it. The truth is I have an unsettled wandering mind that just doesnt accept fact as fact. My mind is far from...

Tupac aint dead….he is in Kumasi! I adore my father.
Because her miseducation is my education. Happy Birthday Ms. Lauryn Hill!!
[blind dates and half a juice box.]
I am not one to go on blind dates. But I was blind sighted by one of my friends and I had no choice. I didn’t talk to the poor boy. Not that I didnt want to but you know how they say when you flip a coin to decide something and once its in the air and you realize that you really want heads over tails?
(no? really you dont get what im saying? sigh well please figure it out for the sake of...
The African sunrise, is probably no different than one anywhere else. But its one of the sweetest things I have known.

[dusk.]
I wonder if there is someone i haven’t met yet that will totally change my life for the better. its weird to think that my life can get any better than it is right now, or that there are even more perfect people for me than the ones already in my life. I’m dumbfounded right now. feeling mad blessed!

[im sorry hunny but i`ll pass it up.]
aside from my newly rekindled love for Alternative music…I AM DONE WITH FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE!!! *shyface* I’m such a kid. but i have really grown as a writer, a thinker and a person in general and I love how this semester ended with me making very good decisions rather than acting on a whim. Lesson? Yolo is like alcohol, it lifts your spirits but it weighs down your soul and if you...

When you sin against your brothers and sisters in Christ like this and cause them to do what they feel is wrong, you are also sinning against Christ.
