In The Pale Beyond The Moon

In The Pale Beyond The Moon

In the pale beyond the moon, falling at the predator’s bay. 
Broken, Bruised and Buried
Corpses pile up in soaring violence. 
Overturned are the struggles to find peace basking in the sun
Your eyes filled with terror and pain-laden tears
It rains down unleashing its fury, a downpour
Of wrath leaving one with a shattered soul


Amidst the terrifying news, that oozes out daily on our television
I wonder if our world will ever be safe again
Demons play ‘Armored Knights’, fists of thunder makes not the man
We are living in the days were wrong is slowly becoming right
Ignorance is bliss, refuse to settle for pain
And let such men hearken not your voice
Render not your power, hold dear your sanity


Unmarred by GBV press freely up the road of truth
Don’t be ashamed, refuse them the will power
To make you defenseless and useless
SPEAK out - take at a choice, you have a voice
A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step


We have to come together and stop the violence
How many of our own should turn into body bags unnoticed
It is the people we meet and greet every day
Our family, lovers, friends, and neighbors who inflict this pain
Let’s teach each other the value of our bodies, not just yours
Join the #16daysofactivism and voice out.

Dating Someone Who Knows Your Mental Health Is Everything Part 2

📸prettisusu It’s been a minute, last time we discussed about how it’s important to know where your partner stands in terms of them being aware of their mental stability. I reckon it’s a must, it saves a lot of surprises and frustrations because you know who you dealing with. If you haven’t read the article click here , so we are on the same page. I have in a fair share of relationships and it has been a hard journey of knowing how to show up for my partner/friends/family in ways they need me to vs ways I’m comfortable with. It was so easy for me to commit to a routine that was came easy to me like responding fast or make them laugh but I realized sometimes a person just wants you to listen or give them full attention, to feel your presence with no distractions. Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u...

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and ...

Body Acceptance Chronicles: I Learnt To Love The Changes In My Body

📸 Marie-Michele Bouchard   Our little conversations always carry the weight I wish the eyes would acknowledge. We keep muttering and playing with our words: you are enough but, we can not seem to convince the mind. We grew up a chubby baby for most of our life, sly comments here and there, but that is what was familiar and defined us. As we blossomed, our love grew. The height balanced out weight, whilst the weight balanced out the boobs. We were picture perfect. A sudden extreme change in our relationship came with an untimely illness that complicated our relationship. I will not deny it. I had and still have difficulties paying attention. It was a stranger, and Mama taught me never to talk to strangers. It was new territory. I felt lost. People always whispered I should lose weight but what "should" have been a dream turned my life into a nightmare. Even after preparing, many people would still be surprised when the changes crop up. It was my reality. The changes in our bo...
