I came across this and wanted to share the beauty, delicacy, and women’s strength in living a life carrying out many roles in a society that lacks appreciation for all she does.

Thankfulness!
I had a lumpectomy done today. What a wonderful job the nurses and doctors did in their jobs as well as keeping my morale high.
The presence physical and emotional of my family members boosted my morale even more.
I’m hoping I’ll feel better quickly and get back to my blog.

Behind the Door
In a world where silence
Is a luxury at the core
Grab the peace
Where there’s only violence at the door.
How do you hold onto it?
How do you keep it, or
Stay sane in a fit
Where chaos is always at the door?

Moon 🌙
By the harvest moon
The lover’s moon reaches out,
Only to swoon
At the alter of harvest being picked out.
In a bout, the moons collide
The lover imposes its power
Fully intending to win and bide
His time to overpower such wonder.
As the lover reigns
The harvest gains, through pains of
The glory of feeding, with grains,
The world that’s exploding in a bluff.

Writing poetry
Your Muse is either music (DavidArnold, Who YouReally Are, & Metamorphosis), society, you, life, relationships, dicord, or anything really. You add your words, on paper, and you get this:
Notice please: crossed out parts, lines that are supposed to an m, and personal note at the top (Kafka). Love writing!

Life’s Vain
Life is sometimes a Strain
But you live life as a speedy Train
That leaves you breathless in the Rain.
Don’t let people lead you to Stray
From your path, that’s like a Tray
Whose definative shape is sun’s Ray.
Don’t try to Explain
To people what’s Plain
For they’ve put their heads down and Lain.

Subjugation
Reading by me, Malak kalmoni Chehab, of the poem ‘Subjugation’, from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed. It’s about postcolonialism and its effects after independence.

Fearful Expectations
Reading of ‘Fearful Expectations’ from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed. It’s about paralyzing fear that binds you in a place of terror. Courage of only one who overcomes it and moves on.

Books Lover Day
Those of you, like me, who love books, they’ve taken a day out of the year specifically to celebrate our erudite natures. Books are my friends and confidants. They help me overcome difficulties by creating a world that’s simpler, where most rules are applicable, and most importantly, where imagination has free reign to soar.
Below is just a double acrostic poem about this special day!
Buying books isn’t for the weak, who falL
On their faces for their lack of imagination tO
Overcome life’s problems with luV,
Keen on transcending thE
Secrets of being a book buyeR

Dear Diary,
As the keeper of my secrets,
I need to confess my troubles.
I run around trying to please everyone And seem to end up alone!
As if by indulging others’ needs before mine,
I relegate my own happiness into a dark mine.
In it, the gloominess of the ambience
Is oppressive, comfortless, and has no patience.
As I squabble with my inner demons,
And my supererogation drowns my angels’ voices,
I notice that angels are a happy lot,
Who empower the self and never forgot
That there’s a price to pay for sacrificing For others, but it doesn’t need to be self-defeating.
No, no, no, and once more, no!
By helping others, you aren’t weak to
Assert your endowments to achieve
Your wishes without being demeaning,
Rather, you can help others believe
Not only in themselves, but in You.
