Evolution

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Thought I was stuck

I’ve had enough

Got pushed to the edge

There was nothing left

But to lose it

And… that I did

Jumped right off

Like this is it

Fell forever

Till I realized

I was flying

Not Falling

Didn’t know all the pain

Was training me

To keep going

So when the ground

Started crumbling

I tried to outrun it

Ran till the earth ended

Thought I was out of options

So I just did what

I always do and kept going

Karma is always watching

And I must of done something

That granted me these wings

Looking down on things that

Use to be me

knowing what it is

to be free

Kryptonite

My words can get pretty graphic,

When she’s the topic,

I am transfixed

In her lips,

Lost in her grip,

All sinces are redirected

towards her direction,

She knows I’m helpless

and plays with my ambitions,

I wanna know her every secret,

Search her like an unknown world,

Learn  the language of her soul,

Explore the parts of her

that make her beautiful,

Try to make her feel a fraction

of the reaction her love causes,

She is the variable that completes

my equation,

I could go on for pages

but it would all have the same reasoning,

She’s completely amazing.

My Nevers

Why do we always try for forever

When it’s never that we really want

Never put someone else before the one you love

Never disrespect or take for granted

Never go astray

Never think of me a different way

Never look at me with pity

or hurt me on purpose

Never deny me your kisses

Or stop wanting mine

Never stop needing me to make it right

Never want me to leave

Never think I’m weak

Never stop trying to figure me out

Never use my insecurities against me

Never walk ahead or behind me

never be out of my reach

I could go on for an eternity

of never it would take to get my forever

Poets’ Cut

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Stitched in my inners

Like the like the features

Of my mother

Are the words

That makes me my own

I follow the light of my pen

even in darkness

Try to harness the lessons

Nothing is worth it

If you don’t work for it

My father’s words still

Ringing in my ears

Because I know

If I standing I’m

I’m swinging

as long as the breath is in me

Fiercely till this

flow recedes completely

I’m not known for my pleasantries

Happy in silence

I put my head down

And Grind

I don’t try to find excuses

It is what it is

I made a bad decision

Casted the villain

Questioned my righteousness

Stained my pristine

Record of never falling

You made see nobody

Is trustworthy

Not even myself apparently

Intoxicating

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Call it karma~

call it faith~

A coincidence~

or a chance~

My best friend begged me~

I’d be in PJs drinking coffee~

And writing poetry~

If she didn’t drag to this bar~

Hoping to hit it off ~

with the guy at work~

She’s asked me to chaperone~

All was good till you~

came through the door~

My heart almost skipped~

Towards you like a moth~

To a streetlight~

Of course, it would be her~

My kryptonite~

Our eyes meet~

I literally get scared~

like a Lil girl~

And shoot my eyes to the floor~

I feel the bar fill with~

The heat created whenever~

We occupy the same space~

It’s uncontrollable~

Has been from the get-go~

But its unsustainable~

And impossible to control~

You’d think after all this time~

We would have learned~

Not to play with fire~

We try but the tension~

Rises pushing us closer together~

It’s almost chemical~

Our reaction to each other~

Will never last~

After all our experiments~

That’s the one true fact~

We are made from the same ingredients~

Just in different increments~

When mixed~

It’s absolutely intoxicating~

Theia

Written By Destiny Bergeron

The distance is vast

But our paths

Are set on an orbit

We crashed together long ago

Almost destroyed each other’s world

Now we’re whole again

Looking up

At the sky wanting more

My heart use to build

Sculptures of your form

Praying for your wamrth to return

The light that finds me now

is pale in comparison

Dull,and lacking

life providing nutrients

Like the moon trying to be sunlight

It’s just not right

I’ve studied the skies

Trying to find

the next time we’ll be aligned

It’s like trying to predict

Witch star will fall tonight

Compassion

Written by Destiny Bergeron
The war star in the distance

Burning brighter than it’s ever been

Will we worship it like pagans

Or change our ways

Our compassion saved us once

Is there enough left in us to right the wrongs we committed

For us to fight the hatred

With the compassion

That makes us human

It’s the only way to make a difference

We are oblivious

to the suffering of Yemen

To the hundreds of thousands

Of bombings

To fact that one child dies every ten minutes

And when those who survived

Find a piece of the bomb

They see made in America

When a school bus is collateral damage

200 hospitals acceptable targets

We need to stop

our Government Involvement

in the destruction Yemen

Wounded Words

Written By Destiny Bergeron
It’s hard for me to

Admit defeat

I am a warrior

I do not retreat

But when you’re brought

To your knees

It’s impossible

To fight the war

So I

put down my sword

And pick up the thing

That I started fighting for

My word,

beating from my heart, my soul

If I still have those

then I am still whole

My wounds will heal

And my Will

Will still be here

Fall Apart

Written by Destiny Bergeron

lost in a lovers leap

fell hard but it was sweet.

now I stand broken

at your feet.

wondering if

you’ve seen me?

or did I fail you

like I did me?

this isn’t who I want to be

we tried and failed miserably.

so I’m gonna gather up

what’s left of me.

and leave you with nothing

but what we use to be.

I hang my head in defeat.

broken and sore from

trying to pull us back together.

there’s parts of me

that will always be yours.

and pieces of you I’ll never let go.

Although we fell for each other-

we fell apart not together

INSIGHT ….Sometimes you don’t survive the fall

Rhyme Light

Written by Destiny Bergeron
Ahhh I feel like blahhhh

Wtf is going on

I don’t fall

I’m grounded

From my foundation up

Built with hard work and love

I’m not invincible

I’ve been hurt before

I’ve stumbled, fumbled,

A few chances I should of

never let go

But not my spirit

No matter how dark it gets

I find strength in the pain

Light up the dark with my pen

My life is in pieces

But it knows where the

Pieces go so I’ll

Follow its light till

I’m whole
