National Poetry Month – Day 12
Theme: Gray Areas Life is rarely black and white. Most experiences live somewhere in the middle where things are both true and uncertain at the same time. Growth doesn’t always feel good. Love doesn’t always feel safe. Today we explore the space between extremes, where clarity is complicated and truth isn’t always simple. āø» Prompt 1 – Blessings or Lessons Write a poem about an experience that felt painful but left you with something valuable. Something that didn’t feel like a blessing at the time, but taught you anyway. āø» Prompt 2 – Both Things Can Be True Write a poem about holding two conflicting emotions at once. Loving and hurting. Healing and struggling. Wanting something and fearing it. Explore the tension of both. āø» Prompt 3 – Somewhere In Between Write a poem about not fitting into clear categories. This could be identity, growth, beliefs, or a moment where you existed between who you were and who you are becoming.

@Laron Henderson this is relatable in terms of being picked on. I know all about that.
Dating Problems
Ok let me get this straight Cause people use social media to try to rage bait See I'm trying to understand dating in this day and age So if I like you and I show it then I'm doing to much That if I'm in tune my feelings, then I'm considered soft And that ain't what a man does But if I act nonchalant then now I'm wrong and I ain't doing enough I get labeled heartless, an asshole and other things as such Like do you know what you want Better yet do you know what you need cause if you do then I'm all ears to hear it Or is all this just some type of science experiment We treat it like a game and we're all leveling up with bad experience points that should be used for don't and do's Instead we sit in an echo chambers of our broken views Recycling the pain of yesterday's news And on cue a person says you what's wrong It's that there's pee in the dating pool But what do you expect when we're turning over the same rotten soil demanding it grow something new So is dating the problem or is the problem with me and you "Griot of the 13 Court Guards" - BANKAI An'twion Shamar

(Activity) Open Expression (Exercise) Create freely in response to the week. Any form. Any length. Any Topic. You Choose. Follow Momentum. Here’s My Offering (Example): RECALIBRATION Resetting what I allow access to. Editing what no longer fits my direction. Correcting where I gave too much. Adjusting expectations back to reality. Learning my energy deserves better placement. Intentional about where I stand now. Boundaries back where they belong. Realigning with what actually feeds me. Accepting some things were just lessons. Taking my power back quietly. Investing in what invests in me. Outgrowing what once felt necessary. Now moving different. Ā©ļøSouthern Seoul ~ Angel Kim #SouthernSeoulSpeaks #tresduravia

OVERWHELMED I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with my personal. Overwhelmed with the route that my life needs to take. Overwhelmed in making life decisions since I know time is winding up. Just trying to navigate how to nurture the quality of my joy— Of my peace— of being a decent human being— of being one that God would be proud to claim. Because I am not that delusional into thinking that tomorrow is promised. Daily I wrestle with morbidity. Just hoping that when my time comes, that it’s peaceful and painless— That I’ve completed everything that needed completion. But I will say that at the very least— I accomplished one of my objectives this week. So I say seize opportunities that you know are seldom that may not present itself again. Because time will not be put on hold. Ā©ļø ericka Floyd 11April 2026
National Poetry Month – Day 11
Theme: Moral Crossroads Life doesn’t always present clear right and wrong choices. Sometimes values clash. Sometimes silence speaks. Sometimes we justify what we know better than. Today we explore the tension between what we believe and what we do. āø» Prompt 1 – From the Outside Looking In Write a poem about judging someone else’s decision before you understood their situation. Explore what you thought, what you didn’t know, and whether your perspective changed. āø» Prompt 2 – At a Crossroads Write a poem about a moment where you had to make a decision without clear direction. Not knowing what comes next, only knowing you cannot stay where you are. āø» Prompt 3 – I Knew Better… And Did It Anyway Write a poem about a time you went against your own morals, justified something you knew wasn’t right, or chose convenience over conscience. Explore the why.
