Feature on The Inter-Viewer

I performed Proud and Out Loud, one of the pieces in the book. Do share your feedback in the comments.

Collaborative Poem

Technology today proves that you don't have to be in the same region or country to collaborate. Here is Maybe Tomorrow by The Infamous Strategy & I on the vocals. Thank you to Clarence Ferguson Jr. for putting this together. Here are the words to my piece.

Maybe Tomorrow

Some days you didn’t hold me at all

I remember the days you didn’t answer my calls

Even though I had some stumbles and falls

You left me stranded - face down and sprawled

Instead of loving me, you put up walls

And I was stupid because I was still willing to crawl

Back crying to beg you to stick around

Even when my heart had again fallen to the ground

And tears fall from my eyes – yet I make no sound

Distressed because I see that you have found

A new love interest who you think is better

But I see she is just another empty headed go-getter

You left me for her so now I’m the ‘regretter’

Sad and lonely - a broke love investor

Who fell too quickly for a man that didn’t love me

Blinded, broken and very unable to see

Maybe tomorrow but most likely never

It’s going to take a miracle for me to feel better

Maybe tomorrow you may come my way

Love’s unpredictable is all that I can say
