Since When

article image placeholderUploaded by @Pixiepoet4life
Please just eat the meal in front of you and ignore what's on my plate. I always see you watching me. You're there at every turn. You give advice and try to teach, but there isn't much to learn. You say you find me beautiful, but that's not what's in your eyes. I'll never trust the words you say. You're always telling lies. I'm walking hand in hand with fate

It. How are you, sister? Since when? Wow, that was oh, my goodness. That was amazing. That was amazing. That was amazing. That was amazing. Wow, you just opened my eyes to something. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was great. That was great. Wow, sister. That was wonderful. That was wonderful. I'm literally speechless. Literally speechless. All right, sister. You take care

It. There is something about your poetry that always makes me kind of emphatically like my fingers and say, yes, I want that feeling. I want to bottle that feeling. I want some of that. But what I was thinking actually is would love to see you perform

And as to what you were saying, I have not, as of yet, performed in an open situation, like a forum where I'm live somewhere, in public, in person. I have performed live on Instagram. I have lots of evidence of that. So if you want to see me performing on Instagram at live open mics, you can go to my page on Instagram and I have lots of videos posted there

Your energy is really infectious and I just have to say you made me smile so wide listening to your reply. I just appreciate hated it so much. It was just so genuine, the energy that was there. And that's the type of thing that there's no substitute for

Ah. Thank you, my sister, for being one of the voices that truly makes me stand up and want to cry my truth. When I hear your poetry, when I hear your energy, it makes me understand why I exist in this world and why all of us who have these voices and this gift of poetry and the ability to share our emotions and our journeys, why we've been gifted with this

And the short time I've known you seems like it's been absolutely my entire lifetime. That's how close I feel to you. So I'm just so grateful and I'm so thankful and I'm so full of joy at knowing that I have you there and all the voices that I have encountered that have been beautiful enough and have blessed me with allowing me to be a part of their spaces. And it's so beyond. I can't even put everything into words

It. Oh, pixie poet. I just absolutely loved this. I love the voice that you express yourself with. I love the boldness that you state your truth in. May we all be secure enough within ourselves to articulate the deepest parts of our being and make those things that were unseen, seen and those things that were not normal acceptable. I really enjoyed this. This was very deep. And thank you for sharing and thank you for freeing yourself to speak into eternity

So I decided that would post what's in my heart, what's on my mind and in my soul and spirit, no matter what, and try with all of my might not to be afraid of the outcome and allow for the universe to open up its arms to me. Because I know that in the end, that is what will happen. And for those who are meant to hear it, they will. And I will be able to find the connections that are so meaningful

This was so brilliantly, unapologetic and just thick and unmoving. It's so very powerful and resonating, and there's just so much. There's always so much. There's always so much. There's always so much when it comes to your poetry and how you write. And I love it. I love it. I love it so much. I love that I feel like sometimes you have said things that I want to say, but don't know how

That whole everything about that like you pushing pebbles while my know main move, like that was dope. Maria, I love you to pieces and I just appreciate you so much. I'm just sitting here and I'm like, I need to really pay attention because I haven't been paying attention much
