MOOD

August 20, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

I wish I'd go a place when I am overwhelmed and everything will just be fixed. A spot that can bring me peace. It doesn't have to be a physical place. It could be a memory but what happens when your best memory is what you are running from?

SAD GIRL

August 20, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Sad girl, Your eyes don't tell the tale They are twinkling Behind the mystery of the depression Your smile beguiles your pain The timbre in your voice mask the tears behind your words Sad girl How can you be alone in a crowd? When your companion you abadonned Sad girl Why do you paint the… Continue reading SAD GIRL

MEMORIES STAY

August 2, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Image from pinterest A pair of brown eyes... Intense gaze horizontally... A worship concert. A slow blast of stromae singing "formidable." The juggling of the bus on an untarred road in the rain... The first meeting vertical and horizontal. The walk in the middle of a protest. The promise of chips and movies... The first… Continue reading MEMORIES STAY

What’s my dream?

July 26, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Unknown. When people are asked this question: "what is your dream...? you get like really inspiring answers ... I don't know😕... You fill that one out. For me, it is the simple things, like wearing turtle necks in actual cold weather, a cup of hot whatever in hand fixing the world, one word at a… Continue reading What’s my dream?

I KNOW BLACK.

July 20, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Pinterest. Some people taught me to love black... The color of my skin The race of my people The sound of my music The adage of my clan Dancesteps of folklore The memory of subservience The disadvantage of privilege Black is my father The tree of my ancestry To see white in black To stand… Continue reading I KNOW BLACK.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HURT

July 6, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

From pinterest. When we hurt, it festers... but before it becomes a sore, it is first an open wound. The time before we realize we've been hurt is the loudest. After, the quietest and shortly thereafter, comes the chaos. Hurting is like a slow burn. You keep melting but you don't smell the roast until you… Continue reading IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HURT

ENNUI

June 16, 2021April 8, 2022 Dcconnoisseur

Have you ever woken up any day just feeling like you shouldn't be here or even questioning why you are? If not you, someone else... have you ever met someone who would rather just die than live to fight and struggle for happiness or thriving? Have you ever been without the will to beat the… Continue reading ENNUI

WHAT INSECURITY LOOKS LIKE

June 9, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Pinterest(Huff post)It is neurotic. You know you are acting crazy almost obsessive and compulsive, but you can't help it because your mind is spinning in all the million ways you are not enough and can be replaced. You know there is nothing wrong with you deep down. In fact, you are aware that you are… Continue reading WHAT INSECURITY LOOKS LIKE

The audacity of genuity

May 27, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Image from pinterest The sharpened blade of our pain rolled into the precipice of our becoming. What do we call that again? A journey. A journey you say, but it is a never ending destination that may put us right back to the spot where we keep learning again and again... An ageless loop of… Continue reading The audacity of genuity

DIS-JUNCTION

May 7, 2021November 14, 2021 Dcconnoisseur

Image from pinterest. Life is slowly ebbing away like the tides of tomorrow, future and past. Yet, no one knows what they are doing or how to make sense of this thing we call life. When someone dies, the religious ones become more conscious of the afterlife, at least, for that brief moment of sober… Continue reading DIS-JUNCTION
