Ode to Nevaeh:
In collaboration with Michelle Standish-Phillips
Nevaeh
flighty, flightless, fearlessness
Life is not a series of tallies
It feels like a shadow
leading you in the dark,
and telling you not to be afraid of it!
Eternity balances, the final score
But knowing, in a week
the sun will shine again
Goddamn she’s no archangel
is not fickle
Pitiful
nor spiteful
You’re so close like my shadow
Goddamnest she’s no heathen
is forgiving
Loving
valuing humanity
You’re so close like my shadow
Hymns are the core of my soul
we’re fallible creatures
if passing judgment
cast stones,
Don’t be stonewalling
Nevaeh faithfully,
you‘ll be the only one standing in it.
Cause you pushed
everyone away
when you weren’t feeling like you
Nevaeh if you feel judged harshly-
You’re heaven backwards
Heavenly as lonely
Vices an empty place
I, mean palace
Standards are too high for those
Branded as sinners

I want to empower others with my writing. I have always dreamed of seeing my name, on something.
