SCARED TEACHINGS My joy and pain has taught me about love I now walk around with fading scars - so proud of them They remind me of how strong I am They remind me of how blessed I am They teach me to understand They remind me to stay happy They remind me the world can go silent in minutes They teach me to be thankful I'm not sure why they chose my face But I'm sure that they still look great on this skin I have seen the worst days become beautiful mornings in hours I even became scared of the future at one point because the present was too much to bare Now, Now I work for the future My head has been hurt one too many times and each time it became stronger I even walk with tarmac scratches on my forehead They remind me of how strong I am I'm alive I'm happy I'm the kind of Cinderella who doesn't lose her shoe I often lose myself however But I do that with my tight laces Or maybe it's the type of shoes I wear 43
I WILL RISE If you break my jaws I'll still speak with my eyes If you kill these lines The stories will still be told If you crush my existence I'll still rise If you scar my face I'll still rise and look beautiful If you scare me I'll learn to grab my confidence If you kill my story I'll still be beautiful in the existence of words I'll write poems, books, scripts I'll talk about this broken vase and enjoy every piece of it There’s beauty in every broken piece depending on how we choose to look at it 44
