Welcome to Litsy!

Such a powerful book. I sat with this book for many days because I didn‘t want to rush through her verse. So we‘ll done!

We received a copy of this today at my bookstore and my God, this is why poetry is so powerful!!

I Am the Rage - There are five million tears on my pillow. There is a cut somewhere on my body that is never healing. I cannot stop this wound from bleeding. I cannot stop my heart from breaking. I cannot stop my voice from moaning. I cannot stop my soul from aching!
I just turn from worry to fear and then back to worry again. I fight for the belief of optimism and the hope of equality and equity, but often this well runs dry.👇🏽

I purposely wandered the book aisle that day. Determined to purchase a book. I laid hands upon this tiny thing, drawn by the title and the abstract cover art. Unknowing of content, a decision was made that this might be worth an effort. Unaware that within my hands I held pages of words that needed to be voiced, pages of sentences that needed to be read, pages and pages of truthfulness from someone bold and courageous enough to say it.👇🏽

#FabulousFebruary Readathon
Finally ready to make an effort towards this upcoming week‘s readathon which commences today. There is the greatest possibility that I am about to fall asleep so I‘m committing singularly to this tiny book of poetry tonight. Given its subject matter, I might be up all night.
