Inspire, How to be, Being
Christina Morency
“Inspire”
I want to not impact humans but the souls.
From inside within.
What’s hidden from eyes.
Unseen and foreign.
Where the heart beats I live.- 9/6/25
“How to be”
To be human is to be What?
To feel?
To be able to show humanity positively.
To sympathize.
To show emotions while understanding others emotions.
Or is it the opposite.
Being the negative sides which are judged.
Do those negative actions simply make you not human?
What is human?
Human to be judgemental.
To not agree with the majority which name will be society.
Humans are both good and bad.
What we can and can not see as.
What human is and can be is greater.
Scarier than what the eyes can perceive.- 9/24/2023
“Being”
She who seemingly breathes the same air is seen different because of her hair
because of her not so fair skin
because of her way of speaking
because of her taste in music
because of her
Her being who she wants to be.
Her being Black.
Her being Beautiful.
Her being hardworking.
Her being successful.
Her being intelligent.
Her being brave.
Her being Her.
Why bring her down for being who she is?
Why not uplift her, who’s been nothing but great?
Be supportive.
Be creative.
Be brave.
Be her. - 9/19/2023
“To You”
To you who entered my life.
Unannounced and unmemorable.
Why do I call first?
Why am I listening to the tone of the rings?
To the lady who delivers a message.
The message that you, on the other side, is unavailable.
Just for a second type call.
To talk about repetitive stuff.
The “how are u?” “Have you eaten?”
To you, who I’ve yet to be on call with for more than 3 minutes.
To you, the topics of which we discuss are nonexistent.
To you…
Have these thoughts ever existed?- 2/6/2023
