what you see is what you get

what you see is what you get

I know y’all like to know 
what you’re getting into 

when you open a book
and believe me, I would

love to tell you but this 
one had a mind of her own

she even changed her title
on me without asking, then 

yawned and told me to chop 
a buttload of poems about god, 

the bible, and church, because 
she just doesn’t care anymore 

(I still kept a bunch in because 
she is not the boss of me)

so I’ve got no idea where
this baby is headed 

maybe take a peek at the
end and let me know?

This is a poem from my new book, whole, available for preorder next week. Y'all. She really threw me for a loop. But I love how she turned out. I can't wait for you to see. 

And some of the poems I chopped ended up in THIS book. It's on sale for $6.49 right now. Grab a copy and join me on IG live on Valentine's Day (2/14) at 8pm ET for a POEM ART PARTY!
