Time Will Tell
Venturing through time
Consistently analyzing every move
Somehow the tunes dictate the mood
Holding onto every word
Walking the walk as well
Weeds in the midst of wheat
The unhealed version of me wanting to retreat
Growth will be inevitable
But will the outcome be what I hope
Time will tell

2 BLUES in a pod
Connected, yet consumed
Constantly overflowing with the BLUES
Together, yet apart
Repulsive actions performed in the dark
Wounded and hurt
Carrying childhood trauma like a bag of dirt
Kicks and bruises, yet there likely will be a reunion
Entangled, yet longing to be free
2 BLUES in a pod, yet so distinct
-Shaunetta Campbell
BLUEmishes
Brown and bothered
Covering up the imperfections
Still hoping they will be neglected
Inner conflict with physical manifestations
Aches and pains
Consumed with BLUE
Overshadowed with blemishes
Imperfections in the BLUES leading to BLUEmishes
Shadows of the sun
Interrupted by BLUEmishes that have began to become undone
Hiding in plain sight
Yet, no-one chooses to be a knight
The coverup is heavy
The load is not light
I wonder if the BLUEmishes would fade if my skin were right
-Shaunetta Campbell
