Chapter One

          REGAL


    You laugh greatly at my misfortune and glee with grandeur at my
    proportions as you believe yours are more dignified.

    Nonetheless, my expressions are those of a winner-because you
    are surly undeserving of my speech.

    Dismayed by my stillness-sour you have become. Visibly from afar
    you now candidly know-my portions have no authorization to
    define me, but yours certainly are explicit.


        BANKRUPT

    My love for you was immeasurable, yet you never gave my spirit
    wings.
    Now, gutted I ruin as you freely stroll. My bucket lays empty on
    these heartless floors.

ROOM RESERVED

As we grow we discover the energy others hold in our lives, and the vacancy they leave once they are no longer present. Those promising moments of should have, could have, was going to, yet again evoke for voice. The void is too great to be left unfilled, with organic space unoccupied, we transform.

UNKNOWN CELBERITY

Who are you child with these frightful coiled locks?

Who are you child with ruin down shoes clapping from soles?

Child I'm talking to you.

Who are you child with these ragged garments?

Who are you child wearing these hefty bifocals?

Child just who do you think you are racing with all your might - as though you are of some importance?

Child, Child.

And the child spoke with absent tremble and a petite thunder in her voice.

"I am all you are not – Yet, everything you grudge to be!"

CODE BLUE

She never knew what power she had until she was laying unconscious. She was powerless to the world as well as to herself-without discipline floating reminiscent of counterfeit. Her destiny was left undiscovered by the years of rebellion.

Her self-discipline if matured would have commanded power-surging an inheritance. Lacking control she wilted as if incapable of discovering her power and defenseless in pursing her destiny. As a lost lake her attraction too is void.

Her discipline could have sheltered her in a sea obscurity, except she never understood her power-now her destiny rest awaiting her arrival. Will she ever unearth her authentic power?

BABY DOLL

Devotion for oneself can ripen by discovering who you are initially-instead of prying layers of another. Campaign for a partner with integrity, principles, and holiness–quality must be sought after.

Be watchful of those with complexities of inferiority. For their poor standard if lead in by curiosity will paralyze the psyche.

    of health, wealth, great job, or status.

    me, and said "You Are Enough Just As You Are" and I received my
    gift of value.
