Protect Your Peace

In The New York City Family Justice System

When Your Parental Rights Were Illegally Taken

By A System That Failed An Innocent Child

Egregiously

Giving A Known Abuser 

A Full Stay Away Order Of Protection 

Leaving A Mother Unprotected 

From Her Former Batterer 

Sounds Unrealistic In Comparison To Societal Constructs

Not Only Does It Sound Far Fetched

It Isn't Supposed

To Exist 

For Me October 2, 2018 - Present Date

Is Like Being Stuck Inside A Melodramatic Pilot Program

For A Badly Scripted Television Series 

There Is No Director
To Yell: 

Cut - That's A Wrap!

Allowing Me & My Daughter Much Needed Quality Time 

Due To The Refusal 

To Cease And Desist 

Unlawful Activities 

Going On 19 Months

I've Learned To Navigate Several Agencies

Facilitating Parental Alienation By Proxy  

Until I am Rightfully 

Reunited With My Daughter

It Is Imperative To 

Protect My Peace...

In the midst of uplifting 
someone outside of my being

Lead to the realization 

 how much is being taken away 
from me by others 

The art of interpreting life internally unto self 
 via expression outwardly
is my depiction of creativity 

I've come to understand 
visual and written artistry  

isn't bestowed upon everyone

For anyone to erase or rearrange

what an artist dedicated their time towards

is at minimum - disgraceful

Specific entities

 have no qualms either destroying or mimicking 

What to themselves

Does not

come 

naturally

Becoming consciously aware

of said 
presence(s)

Every 7 years Consciousness changes

Every 11 years intelligence changes

Every 18 years lifestyle changes

It is the rule of the sun

Many cannot apprehend life outside of the typical triangle.

People tend to perceive life in "Person’s", "Place’s",  & "Thing’s". Entrapping themselves, in  systematic thought patterns, of repetitive "corners".  Seldom evolving, to grasp meanings or concepts throughout their triangular life span. 

I am, perceive and live life circular.

A circle consists of no points (corners). It has neither a beginning nor end. There is no set direction, but to keep moving. 

I see, my thoughts, my perception and all I continue to learn as water, within the circle of my being. Water is interchangeable.  Different names are given to its various forms:

Solid- Ice

Liquid- water

Gaseous- water vapor

(snow, rain,  hail, dew, clouds, fog, oceans, lakes… etc)

In all of water’s various forms it is essential for survival.

The words above emitted from my being 

after conversing with

 my soul brother

 A written testament 

of my mentality and perception
of the world 11 years ago

From then - until present date

Through life experiences
I've gained the understanding as to why

One must

Learn, Unlearn, Relearn

As  consciousness
evolves to a higher
plateau

Engulfed in a fire of  systematic trauma
served as a form of 
renewal

Nonstop Pain - Inhumanely Devastating
Eroding aspects of my being
No longer needed - it crippled me

Whatever life takes away
It is replaces
in ways unfathomable

In interacting with a gentleman
Who Shall Remain Nameless
Presented countless opportunities

To venture back in time
to see what once was
and the unexpectedness
of what has yet to materialize

Knowing any of this 
in advance
would take away from what it was meant to teach

To both of them
I am infinitely
Grateful

The Becoming

The following words emitted from my being

In April of 2017 & shared today 

at 6:51am 

Memories like this make me gravitate 

towards the notion

"It is written"

The LaToya from my past

knew who I am at this very moment

needed to read this. 

We work to become, not to acquire. 

The majority of what one believes

is the power of
 suggestion.

It is said: Sagittarians are known for their adventurous, 

life of the party, abhor being tied down 

disposition.

As an introvert,

I have never personified

the aforementioned.

‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’

has always

coincide with my being.

Is that a paradoxical anomaly?

cherished Idiosyncrasy?

conundrum of an over thinker?

Always contemplating

in betwixt

an aspect of myself reawakened!

As I travel daily

borough to borough

immersed in scenery.

Infatuated

with the ambiance

of everyone rushing

within arms reach.

My gaze meets lovers

oblivious

to their surroundings

Performers and artists

of various

genres.

Advertisements are effervescent. 

Children’s laughter

The mischievousness

of teenage adolescence

Adults absorbed

in verbalized

condescension.

Different ethnicities

musical symphony

of languages.

Amid the latest

fashions

phones, books

and tablets.

Panhandlers

Tourist

Aroma of fast food and cuisines

Self proclaimed ministers

Prophets

Theologians

Ponzi scheme’s.

If I didn’t mention it

what’s your

faith?

Selling dreams

at whatever price

an individual is willing to pay.

As the affluent

continue to scheme

on their next venture

The Homeless

shelter passerby’s

in acquired wisdom….

I am humbled

Appreciating the opportunity to attune

what lay dormant

but was always with in

Understanding:

Going to work everyday

isn't about 'making a living'

it is the joy of watching other’s live.
