Everyone has their own niche, whether its rhyme or using other forms of figurative language. The problem is creating that one work of art that speaks to all. That can be read over and over. When one says stick and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt its hard to believe. Words are the strongest thing ever created. Words are undeniably powerful. When a baby says its first word it brings excitement to the parents. This first word will be the first of many words spoken. The first of many words learned.

Self -Love: Kristyna Cochran

What is Self-Love ? Why is it important? How do you cultivate it? According to Merriam Webster, Self-Love is appreciation of one's own worth or value.  Without love for oneself, how can another love thyself?  Developing Self-Love begins with understanding and knowing who you are. Knowing who you are begins with a relationship with God, the Most High. Without a firm relationship with the Most High, you are faced with a lack of self. God says so much great things about you.  God says , you are strong , Philipians. 4:13. You are amazing , Psalm. 139:14. You are capable, Mark. 20:27. You are chosen 1. Thesselonians 1:4. You are never alone, Matthew 28:25. You are always loved , Romans 8:39. You are beautiful , Ecclesiastes 3:11. You are victorious , Romans 8:37. You are enough, 2 Corinthians. 12:9.  Once you have a relationship with God, and come to know who you are, loving your self becomes a little more easy. Here are four steps that I have learned that help develo...

Do You Remember?

 Do you remember your first period? I remember when I had my first period. I was twelve, actually closer to thirteen. It was in September, my birthday is in October. I wasn't feeling well at my grandmother's funeral, and when we got home, I notified my mother that something was different. I knew what to do because she we discussed the inevitable frequently.  I got sick, I mean real sick. I was sick to the point that everything on my body ached especially my lower abdomen and back. I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up. Not to mention a week/two weeks before I started my period, I would experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school ...

Poem A Day: From Chapel to Hearse

Poem A Day: From Chapel to Hearse; This poem was written circa 2004-2005. I remember reading it to someone in high school and they responded with, "I was deep." Not the first and definitely not the last time I was told that. I enjoy reading my poetry that I wrote years ago. It helps me remind me of emotions I felt during that time. It also reminds me of how far I have came as a writer/poet.  From Chapel to Hearse   I admire your features, Think of me at your own leisure, I'm measuring you, Asking how long is a meter, Hop in my two-seater, Take a ride with me, Don't take this relationship lightly, I think of you highly, I want to be with you nightly, I got a fetish for your body, Looking at you arouses me, I'm anticipating you being my spouse to be, Come lay with me, stay with me, Hold me, take hold of me, Make the most of me, Everything about you is intriguing, Without you, there is no meaning, Your heart is in good keeping, ...
