  Carrying the Weight

  Many people have suffered Weighed down by generational curses They never told a soul Wearing a mask that covers the face But provides no relief An existence tormented by pain and misery I once knew a man that bore the brunt Of his family’s secrets His body became contorted His countenance was haggard In one…

  My Thoughts: Halfway Home

  If tears were a highway And if truth were a stop sign By avoiding cautious optimism Filled with sweet lies, covered in the ambiguity of love I’d be halfway home, Dancing on sunshine by now Love always, Esha

  Good Men

  Cutting Lies

  Cutting Lies Tell hungry lies To keep the truth at bay Run for cover under false tales Paint over the nasty details Move the goal post so no one comes Within 500 feet of it You change the course of conversation with precision Like a doctor performing surgery You carefully cut away the infection Love…
