Just J

I finally understand why the caged bird sings It’s redemption song rings Sweet tunes for all to hear Gathering the chosen ones from far and near Born into the wild Trapped and released after years It’s new here What once was is not there are rules here Breakfast is at 7 and supper at 6 The world you create in your mind is the only reality that exist It’s your escape back into the life you once knew where you spread your wings and wind lifted you The sun bathed you with all it’s glory The clouds baptized your muddied journey The moon read your favorite night time stories None but ourselves can free our mind Redemption is the journey of where the soul and the body collide Surrender to the inner-standing of the universe Its given you the songs Do more than sing Listen and be the verse Escape back to where you belong You are chosen Dont stutter Sing and be the song

Happy New Year!!!! LOL, I know it's March but I needed some time to clear my mind. These podcast episodes are about my real life and I needed some space but I am back. In this episode I catch you up on how my year has been going thus far and let me tell you.... I been Outchea. Talk to you soon, -J

Choose you!

The title of the opening poem is CrossRoads. When I wrote that poem it was like a restart for me creatively expressing myself through poem. I hadn’t written a poem in years when i wrote crossroads. This episode is going to be all about gratitude because I’m grateful for the inspiration that was behind me writing crossroads and that inspiration has everything to do with you listening to my voice now.

So, I know, I know , I know y’all wanna know…. where you been girl……? I’ve been going through some thangs, okay? But, Im back and we're going to talk about where I’ve been cause I’ve been in the dark room and I had to get myself up out of that but it took a lot of self reflection. That’s what were going to talk about today. Imma tell y’all where I’ve been and how I made it out. We are survivors and this is what we do, we make it out the dark room!
