storytelling - Jusjess Poetry: Poetry & Utterances of Written Art

I affirm that I am on the path to reach my goals. My goals as a writer couldn’t be obtained until I obtained stability. I have shared a ton of personal things about my life here on this blog, and if you’ve been following then you may have seen not only an improvement in my writing skill, but in my ability to go beyond the tone that my blog initially displayed. The appearance and professional accents of my blog stand out a tad more now as well.

I have a poem that I enjoyed writing recently, and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it outside of posting onto my personal social media. Because my blog is home to me, it will be shared here first. As I continue my self publishing journey I’m sure that it will be seen again. Very soon. Thank you for viewing.

Here is “Resolution.”

I also realize that I don’t often share information about my latest poetry collection. But now that I know a little more about blogging and settings and links, here is a link to The Girl is Awake on Amazon.

I’m getting better at the blogging lifestyle and letting vulnerability coax me away from fear.

I am stubborn when it hurts me most.

If pride is the devil then he surely taunts my humility.

But I don’t always know the difference between confidence and arrogance

So I tend to filter myself a bit – I guess I, too wear a mask

I don’t know whose lens I am seen through, and if perception of self is most pivotal – well then.

Shape shifting and blending in I felt once protected me.

But now I see the internal aftermath.

*** For those who enjoy my posts: thank you. I really enjoy the different voices and talents that I read and interact with here.

Many of you have been consistent with this for years and it’s just very refreshing to receive inspiration and feedback. I value this community and it keeps a fire lit in my spirit.

I am embracing consistency, flirting with self love, and allowing clarity to rebirth truths only necessary for my growth. God is good.

I would like to share a few previous blog posts:

Potential & a Past
Penetration & a Promise
Pillowtalk

Stimulation

Singing familiar songs
Off key, but professing a history of musical training

Complaining.
Nit-picking
The cluster B
Personality

Read me
Tell me a story,
But today, add a little more spice.

Fascinating.

Discovering that fairy tales give false hope
To lost little girls.
Oh, fuck.
Wait, you want to do what?
RIGHT NOW?

Umm, okay.
Take me away.

Soaring high across the sky
I’m a bird I’m a butterfly.
Damn it. I’m a moth
I’m a maggot I’m a
Fool
For fantasy.
Sure, go ahead.
Lie to me some more.

But:
Do you remember which part you stopped at last time?

Yeah, that part. It was getting good.

Thank you for viewing! I have also made some major improvements to my blog, please consider taking a brief browse. I will be steadily improving it!
