Hey everyone ;)

I'm coming here with some good news!!

Me and a co-writer here @MClarice have published a poetry booklet on Amazon!

Our beautiful joined creation is called "Inhaling Stardust and Drinking Tea""

(yes, the title pretty much gives you an idea I am made out of the universe,

moonlight and countless galaxies - but I think a lot of you already know that)

Below is a link to our star-filled Kindle Booklet

(and the cover that an artist made for us for this project

is absolutely gorgeous if you don't mind me saying ;))

Amazon: https://a.co/d/hHGpCa9

We feel truly blessed to be in this moment of our lives and coming with this heart written bundle of poems to you.

We will be so happy if you check it out, purchase and leave a review under it.

Thank you to everyone that's been a part of this Prose family and enjoyed our work. You have been an inspiration to share our poems further into the world.

Anna and Miesha ;)

convince yourself

you've got the right

as if you are

the kind or type who

makes the words fall in line,

besides

all those mistakes mean

finding out the truth that's in your

mind & whether

you have got the time to

ponder what you've learned or

wonder if it's worth it

they'll be

back to tell you:

take what's yours, don't

wait, more

mistakes are

ways we grow

and so

make

more, don't

pour another cent into

what they say or do

until you know that

you're the type of you

that's worth some

saving.

i claim to not believe in talent

that it belittles artists

who work hard to be skilled

but i don't have another word

that explains why i'm like this

why i can so clearly see

everything in my mind

before i make it

why my brain is like a track

for words to cross through

from some part of the sky

to the ground

it's never been difficult for me

to think of the right words

unless i have to say them out loud

but i don't believe in talent

so i just say i'm not good

Silence is a superpower for those who are truly brave

Immediately defending ones-self or jumping to conclusions happens too often

Learning when to speak and when to listen has become a lost art

Everyone has their own story and own mind and are quick to jump in

Never really stopping the flow to consider that others have more to say

Calling the shots instead of following the lead of a friend

Engaging in conversation should not be such a competition

Sometimes we are so caught up in ourselves, we forget our supporters

Anybody worth keeping around requires some relationship maintenance

Veering off topic can prevent those closest to you from asking for help

Even if they don't need saving, they might need to feel heard

So silence, though difficult, is a superpower for friends in need

Predisposed, is a log to fire.

That is—

if the right elements & fuel are there for it to catch a spark.

Howbeit, once the log gets sparked, a flame will burn bright.

Uncanny, how the same can be said about a person.

Predisposed, is a person to their own superpower & their talent.

Not knowing their capability—

that is, until something sparks it.

Once it is sparked, you too burn brighter.

Especially knowing, that there is always a possibility to be had from the start.

i've learned to be

intangible

my actions are not my own.

i am merely a parent,

projecting their successes onto an infant

as it takes its first steps

into the unknown

and then getting angry

when it

moves away from me

into something else entirely.

once, i would have attempted

to grab it as it fled

fingers closing around a tattered sheath

of youth

and pulling it away to reveal

the monster it hides beneath.

a monster that looks a little too much like me.

once, i would have fought,

but today i can no longer see myself in my eyes,

today i can no longer feign my surprise

when my body

gets up

and walks away

leaving me on the bedroom floor

for someone easier to adore,

and I unwind:

out of touch.

out of sight.

out of mind.

I come with a little noise,

You hate it when I'm near.

I make you dance with armes raise,

To close your house in fear.

I carry with me irritation and death.

Some I chase others I forget with a lear.

I will leave a moment at thunderous applause,

But only stop when Jack at windows appear.

What am I?
