Now that this window is ajar, it feels like the poetess is here to stay. As I continue to post on this blog, I’ll shift between poetry and the format I’ve been doing from the get go. Depends how the muses inspire me week to week.
I’d been working on the piece below bit by bit since January. I didn’t perform this one in the show; however, the show experience inspired me to finally finish You Knew last week. If possible, I encourage you to listen to the audio of this episode, a more potent experience.
Inspiration: As you can tell from the subject of this blog, I’m very interested in uncovering and shifting perspectives and mindsets to live our best selves. I think I wrote this piece from a fed-up state of mind, specifically talking to that part of ourselves and society that holds us back from crossing our personal thresholds to expanded greatness.

You Knew
When you arrived you knew
You came ready to shine
You came ready to whine and dine yourself to the heights of your ecstatic deliverance
Deliverance
Liberation from fallacies you did not create
Emancipation from bondage of the minds that deliberate injustices and confining fantasies of untruth claiming to be axiom that knows no bounds,
but keeps you cemented in quicksand
Keeps you concealed from ideations that set you free
Keeps you regressing, makes you congealed
Until you die
You came ready to extricate from boundaries disguised as fact birthed from you, but did not
You came ready to soar
To play
To say oh hey hooray all throughout the day
But you delay
You delay in actualizing the delectable ruminations deep within your soul
The truths within you I know that you know
It’s your choice to wake up
Your choice to wipe the sleep from your eyes
To take your finger off snooze
Will you?
When you came, you knew
And you still do
