Biography
I am shy to the world, yet brave to the unseen and yearning to be heard, I am a river, a mountain untamed far in the depth beyond the horizon, the sun sets and there I stand. Shaded brown, sugar plumped lips, eyes of almond, skin like silk. Shimmering against the beating air as sweat rolls down my neck. I am timid, happy in my loneliest moments far from the gazing of the moonlight. cold some may say but truly unknown, a book of many pages, numbered like the years gone by. One day my heart will leave this place leaving behind a journey to unravel, a sight to see, her name is my mirror and her heart my reflection.

Recognizing the me I never knew, inviting true colour of sheer beauty, interrupting hurt, anger, pain, and disgust. Cleaning house has never been so rough yet reassuring love knocking on my heart. Fear was the hardest to decimate for its most longing beneath my heart, lingering with the past of nightmares and false love. I'm breaking free, no I'm seeing freedom, for true love has tested me unlike this world who's only tempted... yet lessons learned, feeding my strength. Raging my curiosity against the system, statistics of a young black woman. I am a phenomenal being, yes me... My journey has just began, eyes wide open. I cannot say that I am ready for what the future holds, but I am willing to take the risk of where my mistakes may carry me. Creating a world of my own, breaking barriers, stories untold, river is the meaning of R.I.A I'm like a flood never ending... just pacing with the flow and spontaneously I go. Great beginnings New heights. I'm learning to habit insight and breathe in wisdom, which knowledge shall flow.
