Pendulum

by Yakari Gabriel   Aug 8, 2025


There was another woman inside of me,
I don't know if she was worse
or better than the woman I am now
I'm learning to stay neutral
Let the pendulum swing from one side to the other
without casting judgment

allowing myself to just be,
Whatever being means
I'm trying
to stretch my heart
without fear of it tearing
to open my eyes
without fear of them getting teary

Life has been begging me
to release all the secrets inside my womb
begging me to open the portal
allow things to pass through

but too busy resting
In the hammock of my passport
too busy scratching the itch on my feet

I don't do things I can't run away from
