Some Things Must be Heard is a double-edged sword that will pierce your soul and your ears. This poetry book contains audio because some things must be heard. It is imperative that you hear the PASSION, POWER, PAIN, PROGRESSION and PURPOSE in some of my most intimate and impactful pieces of poetry. I will no longer cheat the world out of the gift which is me and I hope that you don't either.
Some things must be heard also speaks to the unspoken words that rest inside of all of us. You know, those words that formulate sentences, which then turn into self defeating thoughts and limitings beliefs OR monumetums of inspiration and mountains of self assurance.
I say what some don't and I speak about what most wont because MY healing came with transparency.
I AM THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Battered, Bruised, Boisterous, Brazen, Braving, Brilliant, Bashful and Bold,
I SEE YOU
Activist
The definition of an activist is a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change. I AM a formerly incarcerated, woman in recovery who was INSTRUCTED to fulfill a need. My community needs my voice and my lived experience to enact change within these various systems of oppression. I had a no choice in this matter. This position or title was appointed to me because I made it out alive. I owe myself and my people, simple as that. I am the representation of the rehibilation that can take place with some support.
IT'S MY RESPONSIBITY so I RESPOND WILLINGLY
Poet
Poetry saved my life, is not some cliche phrase that poets use to sound cool. Most of us only had words to sooth out soilded souls. POETRY was my lifeline. I wrote for 23 years before I had the confidence to step on stage. Ohhh but when I tiptoed over the line that seperated courage from fear, the rest was history. My dynamic stage presence, contagious energy, and raw content IS captivating. Once again, I found my voice and with that came freedom. Freedom to be who I was, who I am, and who I aim to be reverberates in every line I spit.
I'M T-SPIRT AND when I SPIT, MY GOAL IS THAT YOUR SOUL CAN HEAR IT
