Resist Persist Poetry Book

From Rise Again:

Inside I scream, my cries unheard

Midnight in the garden of my inner world

Wrestle woman! Fight back! I yell

Lips unparted as I crawl through hell

Do you hear me – the time is now

Are you strong enough to break this ground

Till the soil and turn the roots

Rid us of the disease tormenting you

If you are one of those special people who understands that resistance and persistence can go hand in hand and that we have a duty to persist in our truth and our highest sense of self, then this book is for you.

Be inspired, uplifted, and encouraged through a series of poems that challenge the status quo, recognize the existence of those who live in the margins whether due to ethnicity, gender, beliefs, or anything else that may set us apart; and compels us to wake up to our internal power, come together, and strive for something better.

This isn't your sweet poetry book filled with flowers and blue skies. While those do exist, I challenge you to go deeper with Resist Persist. This is a special collection of poetry on creating a reality outside the box, finding the courage to live your truth, and rising to the occasion of your life.

Resist that which is untrue to our highest sense of self.

Persist in that which expands love, peace, and truth for us and even the world.

From Small:

And though I’m afraid

I take another step

I don’t know where I’m going

And my feet are unsure

But I walk anyways

I open the doors

My fear oh my fear

I release you now

From Whisper in the Wind:

The keyboard does no justice

Yet it is where I am

My canvas to paint a better world

With vivid color, brush the land

You scoff, you laugh, you mock

And how I pity you

That you don’t see the prison

the cell you share with us

A couple copies with the previous cover are also available.
