Dirt To Roots

Ok Strength this year we’re gonna be consistent, not just body and mind but Spiritually. Fear this year, that second guessin myself is dead we will be fearless in a fearful world. Confidence? Where are you? Ah, there you are! I’ve been lookin for since 2013, strugglin to keep up with you like a set of lost keys that’s been right in front of me the entire time. Well you’re attached to my hip now flowing into my body. You’re now in every movement of my body and in every word I speak. Patience I’m so happy that I’ve learned to obtain you. I will keep watering our relationship so you grow. Sadness, I told you to leave me in 2017 because there was no room for you, but now I see you never left at all. Because I told you to leave, I feel as if I lost the biggest part of myself. With the loss you continued to bring me and as I saw clearly how the world viewed me, a Black woman, I consciously chose to not feel for a world who didn’t feel for me. I lost Empathy. Which made Kindness wane. So, this year I’m asking for Sadness to let the tears flow and renew me, for Empathy to embrace every stranger, and for Kindness to fill my heart continuously no matter the hate spewed towards me. Strength, Confidence, Patience, Sadness, Empathy welcome home
