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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
