OPENING STAGE | #OPENMIC #POETRY

Posted on by Jixi Fox

OPENING STAGE

Coldplay host Under 1 Roof, a benefit concert in support of the charity Kids Company at the O2 Arena, London

Always on the steps,
Rocky mode,
Muscles up,
Got to be bold,
Can’t fold,
I am heavy,
I want to rock,
Steady,
I know I am ready,
I am on the grind to get it,
Wait until I get to the stage,
I am making the biggest step,
Writing my name on the page,
In the book of history.

VANISH | #SPOKENWORD

Posted on by Jixi Fox

VANISH

vanished_flame

I was here,
Then gone,
Vanished,
Reappeared,
Now faded,
Smoke,
We were together,
Now apart,
Living in a dream world,
Not so far,
Close to home,
Is where I lay,
Eyes open still,
Veins,
As I left today,
Was there,
Where will I be tomorrow?

There are days I feel like I am not close to my true self.  I feel I am lost.  It’s almost as if, my surroundings took pieces of me and hid them.  So I try to uncover them in places I have never been.  Like friends, after high school/college, some disappear.  Then there are those you grow really close to, but you are apart.  It’s never too complete as a day-to-day thing.  It’s always like a big reach to get that old feeling bad.

I believe in recreating or bettering yourself.  Sometimes you have to leave a familiar situation for something unique, different, odd, just to be able to collect yourself on who you truly are.  It’s like proving to yourself, whether or not you belong here.  Do I deserve my successes?  Did I do something to deserve this pain?  Who is truly responsible?  There are so many questions to ask, but who and where you get the answers, is not always clear.  The sources of our power to unlock doors, comes from wanting the truth and trying hard on finding them.

I am a firm believer of not giving up and finding a path that’s yours.  It may take a long time, but if you have patience and timing, a long time to others is just right on time for you.  Don’t let them draw you into the sketch, be yourself standing they have to work around you already being there, being yourself.
