Friends, I’m super excited and giddy to get the word out about my poetry performance comin up on Tue. November. I have some stuff in the vault that might be ready for sunshine (or moonlight), and I’ve got some recently released poetry collections, so I may share some of those pieces as well. I hope you join me! Spoken Word and Poetry Meet featuring Reza “Rites” Clifton, Tuesday, Nov 1 · 7:30–9:30 PM, hosted by Jaybird Walker at R1 Indoor Karting, 100 Higginson Ave, Lincoln, RI. The night will start with an open mic, followed by me sharing poetry and storytelling from 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK (@3amblack). I can’t wait! #rezarites #3amblack #ambitiousblackfeminist #3amblackpoetry #vanity4themovement #joyisthemovement #blackgirlmagic #carefreeblackgirl #blackwomenwriters #blackwomenpoets #blackpoets #blackpoetsofinstagram #blackwritersofinstagram #poetry #storytelling https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRetQ4vkH-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“To my Heart, I’m Sorry” ✍🏾
This is long overdue.
My apology to you.
All the things.
I allowed you.
To be put through.
I know you’re breaking.
Or.
Already broken.
Falling apart.
And.
No longer open.
I know you’re hoping.
That someday I’ll learn.
To stop letting people light you up.
To lessen the burn.
I know you wish.
You weren’t dismissed.
By those who claim.
You’re at the top of their list.
You deserve to be a priority.
I need to be.
A better figure of authority.
Because you deserve respect.
I’m trying to do better.
At being your umbrella.
Keeping you dry.
When someone brings you stormy weather.
Stopping the shots.
Dodging the darts.
I am so very sorry.
Here’s an apology.
To my heart.

Hello there! I just started a brand new poetry collection on Wattpad entitled flowers. I’d love if you checked it out and let me know what you think. I talk about a variety of different topics including love, heartbreak, mental health, and internalized colorism. Each poem is basically a flower picked from the garden of my life.
I update the collection daily so you can receive a ton of poetry from yours truly.
Also, I pair each poem with a song, so you can get put on to dope music with every poem! It’s a win-win boo.
Check out the collection here and please reblog to share my poetry with your friends!

Behold Her
Behold Her
In the sum of it all, there lies Beauty
#InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay #WomensDaypoetry #blackwomen #blackwomenpoet #blackwomenauthors #poetrycommunity #femaleempowerment #womensupportingwomen #support #mentalhealth #relationships #poem
You don't look at me
You used to
Though it was never to see beauty
Was beauty there?
In your eye,
I wonder
Cracks and specks
Errant things
All disected and discerned, under your eye
All the little things,
The desperate things
The shame-filled things
Left to wonder
How desperate I was
To have your eyes upon me
Undiscerning - a simple, admiring gaze
Hopeful for the day
That one fateful day…

Shirley Q. Liquor
Does it feel dangerous to put this on?
Naughty? Sexy, even?
To know that you’re just that much closer to blending in with the shadows?
With the night?
Where all of your deepest, darkest, fears and desires pas de deux.
To just for a brief and shining moment cast off your white man’s burden,
So that you can two step with the same style and ease
You so desperately wish your own marrow produced?
