Being on this journey, I've come to realize that many of us share the same views, many of the same experiences... we're feeling many of the same feelings, however for some reason, we are keeping these things bottled in (most of the time without even knowing). I, Ms. Grey, am here to share with you my journey. Not for the sake of you, but the release and peace of within myself. I pray that you would be able to learn something from my experiences, maybe you can relate and would like to share with me. Let's read, talk and grow with each other. I am excited to share with you all.

10/18/2020 0 Comments Socially InvolvedThis poem was inspired by someone I admire and respect. One evening, we were chatting and the topic of being accepted and how society fuels the perception of what is acceptable.....here is the completed piece. Be sure to download the audio! Listen to my voice! I hope you enjoy. :-)
Socially Involved, what does that even mean? I don’t know But, Socially Involved… Alone… We’re born into a room full of people Yet, we come out, alone Socially introduced out the womb! However, Alone! What does it mean to be socially involved? To be around individuals? To communicate with them as well? Must we be present at all times?! Who lays the rules out for this shit?! Humph? Socially Involved! Why must I be involved? I was born alone… They tell you that in order to be successful you must network, In order to network you must socialize Thus, becoming socially involved. What mind state are you in when you enter these rooms? Do you think positively, radiantly, let the sun gaze and bounce off your skin? Let everyone know that you run this motherfucking shit!! OR Are you, passive, quiet, sneak in so nobody notices you? Yeah, that’s you……that’s you! But, we gotta change, you know, Because isolation is not happiness However, being socially involved is not either… Isn’t is funny? They tell you that you must be around people… You must talk to them… You must get to know them… Find your person…whatever Why can’t I just be … Individually involved, self-involved, self-absorbed Just ME! NO! You must be Socially Involved! Huh… I was born alone In a room full of people…half of these people I don’t even know! Geeze! They didn’t care… Spank my ass, make sure I’m alive…whatever (cry)Here I am! (laugh) my imitation of cry Any who! Back to the topic on hand! In order to be successful You must network You must overcome the fear of newness and people Socially Involved Doesn’t mean that you must start a rooftop garden, Or be devotedly involved in the community You don’t have to paint murals or make sandwiches and feed the homeless NO! You could just, talk, be present That is your social SO, in conclusion We’re born into this world alone Yeah, sometimes we may die alone But we know that once our time passes We’ve made the right decision is going on Because… The people you met across the way, the animals, the communities, what have you It brought some sort of happiness, pain, joy, feeling into your life, into your soul Many unanswered questions With the answers all around our space You don’t need a telescope to see them Not even a magnifying glass to read them Reason being We are them We are the problem And the solution We hold the answers to all the questions we have Trick is putting the right pieces together It’s not easy adulting However, the journey is well worth it We’re made to be social Involved in our path, within our universe So, from the first smack on a baby’s ass To the quiet heartbeat that covered with grass Lessons learned become experiences had As a result of being Socially Involved.
