Can We?

By Mac Guerreiro Can we stop the shame? The blame? Can we simply amicably play the game?

Processing

By Mac Guerreiro It’s been five days, That’s what the app says, Five days since my word graced this “page,” A lots happened in five days, Leaving me raw in different ways, Being easy and gentle with myself has been the key, Learning to treat myself as eye hope others will treat me.

The Ultimate

By Mac Guerreiro Who am eye? Eye’m a lady of many words, Eye’m a daughter of Father Sun and Mother Moon, Eye’m a gentle soul, With a fierce spirit, Eye’m like you, Eye can be delicate as a flower, And destructive as a bomb, Someday eye hope to be a mom, Who am eye? Eye’m […]

By Mac Guerreiro It’s been three days, It’s been three days, Because eye don’t know what to say, In comparison to the world around, My own issues seem unworthy of making a sound, People are hurting, Hurting within and hurting without, The veil of ignorance has been lifting, No doubt about that, Most are finally […]
