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 fallen baby 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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
