To 2019,
You were the sun
and the storm
combined
Clouded by thoughts
that don’t stand a second chance
You were beautiful
all along
You learned how to rockclimb
because there was no other way around
the boulders
You lifted spirits heavier than the weights at the gym
But that’s okay,
because you still went to the gym
You broke bread for the first time in
your life with the intention of
filling your belly
Your belly
is so full
Of love and laughter and the concept of God
you searched for faith and it found you
You are the sun when it sets
but when it rises, you are reborn
So rain on me as you turn 20
Let’s talk faith and love, no need for money
Just drown me in new beginnings
Feed my soul with His Word
and let my chaser be a prayer
Keep me leveled; don’t let gravity let me fall
But if I must fall
let it be because you had to push me
Give me the strength to stand
The strength to overcome the fear you breathe into my lungs
Let your light coat my skin
Let me bathe in your warmth
Dip my head under and as I come up
I’m baptized
You are the sun
and as you fall below the horizon, you arrive…
reborn

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing.
Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours".
Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish!
Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page!
I'll be seeing you,
B.K. Laurel
