"if legacy had a voice," is a collection of poetry I indulge in between writing novels. Sometimes we just need a place to go where we can be unapologetically honest, and a blank Google Doc creates that space for me. Enjoy some of my brutal truths poured from my side of the screen to yours.
Hopefully, they can help voice some of your own:)
Side note: The poems without titles have an emoji at the top as a placeholder. It isn't for aesthetics...

Fixing Her ✅
Squeal to His Curvy Chick I placed my head in my hands, I felt like crap, my mind went to the razors and how that pain would make me feel better but I can't do that to Chris and I made a promise to Andrea but are they really worth it?. I got up from the bed and went onto the balcony, we were on the second floor. I contemplated suicide so many times I've lost count. It must be amazing to feel nothing, to be numb. I know they'll miss me but after a while I'll be nothing but a faint memory, Andrea will move on being a mother, Alex will find someone great to love and have a few children and Chris will find someone better, right?. I stared at the sky, the sun was blazing and the sky was clear. I felt the morning breeze hit my skin sending a shiver down my spine. Why did it have to me is a question I used to ask every day until Andrea came into my life and now I just feel like giving up, I took a deep breath and gripped onto the railing.Complete
Nothing Like That
Life, that's the funny thing about it. We always wanted things to go the way that we imagined it too, but of course plans just always have to change. What if we could've thought about how we wanted our lives to go from in the womb? Wouldn't that make everything so much better? What if we could've created our husbands/wives for ourselves, would that make us a God/Deity? Maybe, just maybe. We were all just living our truths and we needed people to come into our lives to shine the light where we always played blind to. This was about to be the reality of everything that we tried so hard to envisioned for ourselves. Truths are about to be tested, faith was about to be questioned and most importantly Love was about to be granted.Complete
Mind {Prose Vol. 2}✔
❝In my mind, there is pain. I am exhausted. I feel defeat from my hair tips to my feet- my body feels the stress weighing down on my shoulders. I try and try every day, but nothing seems to go my way. In my mind, there is pain, yet I try because one day, I will feel great. The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited poems I wrote extemporaneously (ages 16-18), as well as a chockfull of quotes.

Sourire❣
Woman.. You are a mystery They still can't see. Being outcasted and ignored for years Your struggles fell on deaf ears. You bleed the blood like warrioress Still, you are sweet and fearless. There is none that you can't heal In front of no one that you should kneel. Remember that you are a conqueror Nothing can make you feel inferior. Having the wisdom of infinity Just name your own destiny. With an immeasurable soul You can be a creator of your own tale. Be the one you want to be Not the one you should be. With a glimmer in your eyes Woman..just marvel at your life. With an infinite love in your heart Sourire for what you have been from the start. (*few of the dialogues that I have used in the story are adapted from Google.*)Complete

CAUTION: I DID NOT PUT MATURE ON BUT CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS OF ABUSE INCLUDING S/A... & probaly some swearing. There will be disturbing sh*t in here. This book is a poem book of my life pretty much. Its my thoughts and emotions spoken in a different suppossed to be more emotional and deeper way then just looking at what happened and crying about it. What happened can never be fixed but I won't let those people go by un-noticed and I hope karma sincerely kicks them in more then the ass someday. I don't wish pain upon no one but I do crave for them to just UNDERSTAND what they made me feel since they all walked away without a scrape, just a smirk on all their faces in the end. Or they're narcassistic. Theres also letters to people who I still think of to this day that will probably never read them but you guys still hold a special place in my heart. This book is letters and poetry to all; people of my past, present, future, and not only just SURVIVORS but WARRIORS too. You're never alone my loves... Welcome to : "Message Not Delivered"Complete
All She Wanted Was Love
"I love you god knows I do but I can't do this. I can't. I put up with the phone calls, the text messages, social media, random chicks, not coming home, and everything else. Let alone a baby you conceived by some random chick. I'd be a fool to marry you. I'm sorry but it's time I loved me more than you" I looked at him once more as a tear slid down his face as he stood there lost for words. I looked at our family and friends, hiked up my dress, and walked down the aisle. "Sorry guys! Enjoy the reception and the trip. Please don't let it go to waste" I said as I ran down the seashell lined aisle not knowing where I was going. April Elegance Blackmon is a woman who has it all...literally. She's the owner of Blackmon Technologies which happens to be a billion dollar computer Software Corporation. Materialistically she has it all. What she lacks is love and although she loved her man love just wasn't enough. Sure they looked great on the outside but in the inside they were a recipe for disaster maybe even toxic. Inside she was fighting for a man who wasn't worth fighting for. Watch as she finally let's love go only to get swept right on in by someone she promised she wouldn't entertain again well type of man anyway. Just because she's done with love doesn't mean that love is done with her. Is she truly ready for the new ride God has set out for her? A Chris Brown and Dave East Fanfic... No copyright!Complete
Broken
An unexplainable pain ran through my entire system, making breathing difficult. I tried to breathe, but I couldn't. The emotions of the past few days, finally, coming out. I did not deserve to be dry whilst she was six feet under. I had killed her, with my own bare hands. I was not paying attention, and because of that I lost her. ★★★★★ Adam had lost that which meant the world to him, and he felt like life had lost its meaning. If it wasn't for his daughter, he had no idea as to how he could still be alive. At an unexpected time, someone came into his life, and made his new normal, not feel so normal anymore. Will he become the man he once was, or will he be pushed deeper into the dark, empty abyss that has become his life?

Maybe, There is a Happy Ending
"There were times of hardship when people forget the courage they need to keep fighting; and survive. But I think as long as we have something or someone to believe in, to keep close in our hearts, courage will never truly leave us. We only have to reach deep in our heart to find it." I never thought I was going to escape my abusive parents. I could no longer see that one light at the end of my tunnel. I was trapped, no way to escape. You would never believe that one trip to the New York Hospital could change my life drastically, and not in the way you guys are thinking. Not negatively, but positively. Thanks to my Doctor and his son, I could finally say goodbye to my dark past and say hello to my bright future involving a massive emotion... LOVE. So, Maybe... There is a Happy Ending.Complete
