I Define Me
New Trail Of Tears Poetry
It’s so frustrating
To be defined by
People who know nothing
About me
Yet claim they know everything
Claiming superiority
Claiming to have the answers
To all things
Claiming to be ordained
For judging and condemning
The truth is
You know nothing
About me
About my family
About my reality
About my destiny
About my anything
And everything
At all
You know nothing
So no
I won’t conform
To the reality
You project onto me
That is in no way healthy
Not for you
And certainly not for me
I am a human being
Entitled to human rights
Inalienable, constitutional, and civil
All rights that belong to a human
Belong to me
Why I should have to telegraph such a message
Is just so disturbing
People look past the atrocities daily
Pretending they don’t see
In reality they see everything
They simply don’t want to admit
There is responsibility in being
A human being
You cannot rationalize away
Someone’s humanity
To even think
Let alone believe
Such a thing is extreme
These are the ideologies
That destroy democracy
I won’t be quiet
Silent
Or compliant
About something so important
Affecting not only you
But me
And every other living thing
What is required to solve problems
Such as these
As I was educated and trained to do
From the time that I was 3
Is to communicate
Openly
Transparently
Honestly
Diplomatically
Forward thinking
Open to receiving
All perspectives
All options
All solutions
All variables and potentialities
Yes
Thinking positively
About outcomes that we can co-create
Also
Not avoiding the negative
But hearing it
Understanding it
Acknowledging it
Embracing the skills needed
To address it
In every way
Effectively and appropriately
With compassion, empathy
Equality, equity
Adapting to changes
As the need may be
This isn’t as complicated
As people make it out to be
If you choose to be in control
Over your own thinking
Your own decisions
Your own behavior
Your own abilities
Then your own destiny
Will guide you on your own path
So you will have no time
To chase let alone destroy
Other people’s dreams
Why would you want that anyway
Aren’t you striving for superiority
At the very least
We should be striving toward elevating
From a no class civilization
To a Class I
And if we’re motivated
Onto Class III
White supremacy could not produce this
For anybody
Yet ancients did it
Repeatedly
There will be no confusion
With honesty, ethics, and integrity
Diversity, merit, and proper rewards
Equal to that of your own particing
In the co-creation of what is
And what will be
There is never a need
To force yourself
On anyone or anything
Yet we live in such toxicity
That this is reality
Daily
Unrelentingly
What we need is
Direct messaging only
What your will says you need
For you
May not be the best thing for me
I won’t force my will on you
Don’t force yours on me
It’s not rocket science
It’s simply human being
That’s why we are called
Human BEING
We are energy
In the container of human flesh
Experiencing self
And other
And life
Simultaneously
THIS is the meaning of
BEING
As long as what you do
Harms no other
Nor their property
Then so shall it be
It is the inalienable human right
Of every living organism
That takes the breath of life
To choose
To exercise free will
To be a human being
We have the right to pursue life
And happiness
And love
And fulfillment
And whatever else we desire
As long as we hurt no one
And nothing
This is what it means
To truly be “AWAKE”
When you are whole
And healed
You awaken to
New levels of reality
That the underdeveloped
Believe is unreal
It’s obvious why those in power
Try to prevent free thinking
Such ability
Such creation
Such inspiration
Collective consciousness expansion
Is only threatening to those
Who enslave
And deny reality
I’m not conforming to such abuse
I never have
I never will
I have waited for the prime moment
To strike out of my constraints
“You only get 1 shot”
To get away clean
That is what they told me
Repeatedly
I understood my mission
I always have
I always will
That precision will always be
Me
Slavers don’t like losing
Anything
Least of all what they believe
Is their property
Yet I flee
Nonetheless I flee
I shall NEVER
EVER
EVA’
Again
Be
In chains

I Am She Who Causes To Be
So Let It
