In her own words:
LaPoetess is originally from the west coast, California to be exact. Her love for poetry began at 14 years of age. The trauma she experienced from a deep state of depression lead her to writing. Her therapist at that time suggested a journal, but it didn’t appeal to her at all. She poured her heart and soul out onto these pages. These blank pieces of paper were empty until she filled them up. LaPoetess still writes poetry and will continue to do so. She thanks you in advance for taking time out of your busy schedule to read her work. Peace, light, and love to you all.
These verses of love rushed over me
second after second,
In my mind
time was wasted
My reflection was lost
to who I am
the reality of my heart,
It crept in after me
haunted me most
under the mystery of the moonlight,
The songs of my ancestors
spoke to me nightly
You are free,
No more loose lips,
you deny who you are,
Admit the greatness
this gift,
You are a shining star.

Born into this world
dark and cold
Shining out unconditional love
Until that day I saw there blades
the fierceness in their eyes
The darkness plagued their minds
I retreated...
Angels protected for the mortals not to see...
I fooled myself
began to believe in dreams...
Power subsided in me
fell away into deep sleep...
wished for death
eyes white snow laden...
in a day the prophet came
showing visions of light
All that I was truly meant to be

I learned long ago
because of all of you
How to feel
scrape my heart
off the ground
The first time it was hard
But break after break
I learned with every mistake
I took the blood from my heart
used it as my war paint
A warrior in training
I didn’t know where it would take me
How far I would go
I appreciate your lessons
all the pain that pulsated through my veins
Understand I don’t need you
I never did
I never will
This strength is mine
I earned it
I own it

Tell me which way to go
all that my eyes see
a theater of illusion
Wake me from this nightmare
that my mind keeps whispering
it’s all real
No don’t tell me what to feel
break me until it’s time
all I can do is heal
When I fall
lift me up with wings
before I scrape my knees
In The Divine
there is no time
we are pieces to a greater beauty
Hand in hand we walk
in love in peace in serenity
Release, Breathe, Just Be...
