Soul Twin Poem

Seeing Beauty In Our Differences

27
Soul Twin Poem
Lori Field

Walking through the forest of the ethereal

The unimaginable.

Galaxies of flowers

Super-duper silky elongated petals

Should we open the door now?

Let the heaven gates unveil

Mystical Narnia

Fairy-like blue butterfly

Giving us in the stadium spotlight.


Can’t you see?

We fallenbaby girl, but now we shall rise.

Raise that head.

No.

Higher.

No, a little bit more.

Higher!!


You been wandering in the darkest, coldest valleys.

Through our beloved, dazing eyes

We look to the heavens where we gained our never-ending strength.

Rosy red cheeks never bothered me,

It’s a mark of my tribulations

The beauty that arose

From agonizing slavery.


From Mother Earth dirt, we planted ourselves.

From micro seeds to jumbo flowers

My vibrant soul of elegance.

My dark melanin astonishes while breaking insecurities

I’m flaunting it.


Looking and tilting down to get your attention

Eyes penetrating, needle-like to your simple soul

Teal along with golden emblems of my royal hood attire.

Two peachy pink pom poms

Hefty florals on my head.

My crowns of worth nature beauty,

Its rarity in form, its empowered strut

Stare in me and see the art at me.

Get some soul in you!


Take a look at my sister

A great pulchritude.

Her white skin as bright as angel’s wings


Hello, here I am!

Poising my soft, hard-working delicate hands near my heart

Feeling the rhythmic, pulsating energy radiating through these lushful flowers.

Wearing this purplish jellyfish jello-like bonnet,

Honey, use your imagination.


Plethora of flowers united wrapping like a scarf around me

Rather than giving me warmth, it keeps me confident.

Venom words thrown in my face

But haters will hate

I’ll lift up my chin

Majestic, silky orangey fabric.

We are diamonds in the rough

Cloud-like, long sleeve underdress

Softly, puffy white cheeks,

With a splash of rosal pink and a dash of blue.

Kissable pouting lips but

UH-UH!

Can’t touch.


My soul sister and I.

Racially different.

Dark pigmentation?

White Pigmentation?

Blue? Freckled? Scarred?

WHO CARES!

Color don’t matter in this floral heavenly body

Individually carved like a Greek sculpture

Ultimately designed from the Mighty High

United empowerment.

Honey, get yourselves an

“US”

and together we will conquer.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
