I forgive you
A thousand times I forgive you
Never will you ask but I bow out
Harbor no more anger towards you
Hurt caused by you
Will no longer haunt me
I forgive you
I usher in peace
I pray you serenity, stability & wellness
I don't need you
I need me
To have me
I must let your mistakes go
I forgive you
A thousand times I forgive you
Never will you ask but I bow out
I can not change you
So I must change me
Receive healing & let you be
Bábá you missed out
You could have known me
I forgive you
But I no longer need or want you
I pray you good health & long life
Bábá I forgive you...
So that I might forgive me
It started with you
But it will end with me
I forgive you...

Without Warning
Quick! Save yourself
Somebody should've yelled out a warning
Trouble ahead
And I knew not
How to confront the storm
Thousands spent to appease one
Succumbing to overnight depression
Riding on waves of highs & lows of bruised egos, broken hearts, lies, empty rooms and displacement
Somebody should have said
Wake up now
This dream will shatter before it flourishes
Like a broken mirror
This vision is a facade
Search deeper
Within yourself
Look around
The truth was evident, if only there was a warning
Errors detouring to the right
Buckle your seatbelt
And carry on
Forget what you knew
You know nothing now
Someone should have came running with a stop sign
Paused the conversation
And asked for the proper registration
Maybe in lieu of getting a ticket
The road traveled would have
Altered itself
Somebody should've yelled out a warning
Trouble ahead
And I knew not
How to confront the storm
Thousands spent to appease one
Succumbing to overnight depression
Riding on waves of highs & lows of bruised egos, broken hearts, lies, empty rooms and displacement
Somebody should have said
Wake up now
This dream will shatter before it flourishes
Like a broken mirror
This vision is a facade
Search deeper
Within yourself
Look around
The truth was evident, if only there was a warning
Errors detouring to the right
Buckle your seatbelt
And carry on
Forget what you knew
You know nothing now
Someone should have came running with a stop sign
Paused the conversation
And asked for the proper registration
Maybe in lieu of getting a ticket
The road traveled would have
Altered itself
Step Out
You are not who you claim to be
You're afraid if they see you
They won't love you
Uncertain & worried about everything
Even your bones grow weary
Of your heavy mind
Overcome with so much hurt
When will you release what's holding you captive?
You want to unleash what's happened
What has you this way
But you think there eyes will change
Their adornment will fade
Once you step onto the platform
Don't be afraid
Undress yourself & remove the intangible bags you carry
The ones that keep your shoulders feeling so heavy
Weighed down by the stress of your worst enemy
Face yourself
You're afraid if they see you
They won't love you
Uncertain & worried about everything
Even your bones grow weary
Of your heavy mind
Overcome with so much hurt
When will you release what's holding you captive?
You want to unleash what's happened
What has you this way
But you think there eyes will change
Their adornment will fade
Once you step onto the platform
Don't be afraid
Undress yourself & remove the intangible bags you carry
The ones that keep your shoulders feeling so heavy
Weighed down by the stress of your worst enemy
Face yourself

No one knew the dynamic
The strength of our elements
The power behind our voices
Talents combined
The perfect trinity
The only group that handled every storm together
With you I felt at peace
Every movement understood
The questioning of my being never came up in conversation
Acceptance was our language
Daily did we speak through rhyme
I can recall our many meals lost
All the while reciting what we felt inside
Singing, laughing and leaning on one another
We'd created a family, that we were sure to survive anything
Every tear we shed, was together
Bonded together
I never thought our tightly woven thread would unwind
When it did
It came suddenly
We broke without warning
Turned against each other
And what we'd built was put to shame
I still remember our favorite songs
Our last talks
Our sessions...
Moments when she'd play & I'd sing
Moments when every poem of yours I could feel
Your words
Dancing in my head & landing on my skin
I loved us...
The nature of us
I remember us...

Kanti's Goodbye Letter • For You
I release you now
Back into the wild you go
With all of the animals you've come to know
And the spirits you've enchanted
I've discarded your collar
And no longer must you grovel
Your freedom is your own
You are not wanted
Turn away from me
And return no more
I left you because you were no good for my soul
Don't call out for me
I will not respond
I have changed my name
So that I can not be reached
You don't know me
And you're unfamiliar to me
Let this be the closure you needed to be free
I leave you now
In the midst of Spring
Return no more to me
Sincerely yours,
Kanti

Phoenix
From the ashes my old ways will die
And as I rise anew
So shall the newness of me transpire Renewed & refreshed
A butterfly from her cocoon
Caterpillar no more
Searching for food
To sustain my being
I am coming into
The promise I made
To love me & alter what I deem flawed
Sculpting my very essence
Bettering me
So that I might be my best
With every step that I take
Breath that I breathe
Phenomenally reaching
Tapping into my inner self
Unleashing the core
And loving...
Loving...
Loving, me
And as I rise anew
So shall the newness of me transpire Renewed & refreshed
A butterfly from her cocoon
Caterpillar no more
Searching for food
To sustain my being
I am coming into
The promise I made
To love me & alter what I deem flawed
Sculpting my very essence
Bettering me
So that I might be my best
With every step that I take
Breath that I breathe
Phenomenally reaching
Tapping into my inner self
Unleashing the core
And loving...
Loving...
Loving, me

Some words...
Awake
With only
My heartbeat to entertain me
I toy with ideas
Bombarding my mind
Losing time
Waiting for something
I don't know what
I'm just waiting
Words exploding & dancing in my thoughts
I'm longing to be
Back at peace
With only
My heartbeat to entertain me
I toy with ideas
Bombarding my mind
Losing time
Waiting for something
I don't know what
I'm just waiting
Words exploding & dancing in my thoughts
I'm longing to be
Back at peace
