LuvMiFreely
Hello everyone! My name is Ashley and I’m from Ohio. I have been writing since I was younger. I enjoy writing poetry and short stories. I express myself better through writing. I have been participating in The Poetry Marathon for the past four years. Thank you for the opportunity to express myself, I love the challenge ✍🏽📝📖
Dear Ashley, (HR 21)
Coming To An End (HR 20)
- The only light illuminating me is from my computer screen
BLOCKED-Haiku (HR 19)
Not today Satan
You tried to stop my blessings
God blocked it, THANK YOU!
Insomnia (HR 18)
Healing (HR 17)
It’s not the easiest thing to do
No one wants to dissect themselves
Nor open old wounds
But in order to heal you must revisit past events
Although you’ve been trying to forget
And you want to keep it buried deep
The pain you can’t avoid
Because it keeps resurfacing
The hurt will never go away
Until you learn the lesson it’s trying to teach you
If you refuse to accept its presence
It will continue to haunt you
You must face the demon head on
You have to address it
You must accept it
Forgive yourself
And release it
Healing won’t always feel like you’re on cloud nine
Most of the time it will hurt like hell
Some days will feel like sunshine
But most days you will feel your heart rip
You need to heal in order to move forward
And no matter how bad you feel
Remind yourself you’re breaking a cycle
You’re one day closer to freedom
You’re closer to your God given purpose
Let it go
Surviving Quarantine Together (HR 16)
Trapped in the house for weeks
Only able to communicate through phone calls and text
Every Saturday night watching Verzuz
Jammin’ late night to DNice in Club Quarantine
Dancing to Sister Sledge
Watching virtual poetry slams
Sending each other hug emojis until we were able to hug again
State starts to reopen
Everything isn’t as strict
What’s the first thing we do?
Hang out, hug, laugh…
…oh, how I missed my best friend!
Love -Haiku (HR 15)
Frequencies are high
You and I caught each other’s vibes
Happy Ever After 💍
Crazy (HR 14)
My skin’s a little tough
You have pushed me to a point that got me looking crazy
I told you to never take me there
I got this feeling in my gut
Someone is going to have come save you
I’ve had my share of “fuckboys” who like talking sideways
Until I put them in their places
I’m not the one to play with
You’ve been moving shady
You can’t even say my name, won’t even call me baby
Last time I checked I’m supposed to be your lady
But I found out that I’m not the only one you been with lately
I feel my anger coming out
Been sitting back holding it all in
Saving face so I can save my reputation
But you are hell bent on making me look crazy
I’ve been holding us down, while you been hoeing around
And when I confront you, I’m the one who’s tripping
Until I caught you both in my home
This whole situation is toxic
This situation is all wrong
Now I’m slashing out the tires on your car
I already got your windows and no I’m not even sorry
I’m angry that you even got to me that point
And I know it’s going to cost me and I’m not even worried
I’m all out of fucks and I’ve ran out of patience lately
I’m about to put you in your feelings baby
Since you wanted to play me
And call me crazy
I’m going to show you crazy
And you don’t know about crazy until you see my side of crazy
And trust me in the end you’re going to hate me
But this is the way you made me
So you’ve got no one to blame but yourself
It’s A Shame (HR 13)
She gets to see the better side of you
The one I never got to see
She gets to be showered with gifts and love
When I was with you all I seen was excuses
Now you want to be a new man
Go figure…
You used to be all about yourself
Now you’re with her and you’re selfless
I’m glad that I could be your teacher
Glad I could be a life lesson
Glad it was all at my expense
I’m the one who dealt with all your bullshit
I’m the one who had tears in my eyes from your lies
You never comforted me
All I was told was I was doing too much
I just think it’s messed up that she will never get to see
How much you messed up when you were with me
I literally gave you all my time because I was blind…
…I was patient
And although I try to remember all the good times…
…all the bad outweighed them
Trust me I could never be bitter
Because like Big Sean said,
“I don’t fuck with you”
Nope not anymore
I had to let you go so I could be my best
And let God determine if you’re going to be her blessing or lesson
I just find it funny that you thought we were still going to be friends
Oh, hell nah
I’m not worried about none of that closure shit
The way you did me will forever be your karma
All I’m saying is that it’s a damn shame I had to go through all that
