This is abuse. It is all unwanted, of course. It is highs and lows. It is the mind shaken inside out. It is the heart that fixes it. It is good friends that help through it. It is craving good food and loud music. It is hating this too, on most days. It is calling the doctor because of a bruise and cancelling the appointment with him minutes later. It is a man-child that knows all too well how to gaslight. It is a nightmare in broad daylight. It is dignity destroyed. It is a curse to fight at high price. If you cross paths with a demon, that is all this you will have for a while. You will not run from it. You cannot. Trust me, I have tried. I should not have. Because from there, "Leaving behind nights of terror and fear...I rise, I rise, I rise". Maya said it first. It is beautiful, isn't it?

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Moshumee T. Dewoo is a lot of things: a student, an island girl, a political observer, an obsessed eye-baller of the subject of Power, an Indo-Mauritian, and an African (which she finds herself having to prove to or fight about these days), and so on and so forth... She does not quite think of herself as a poet. But she puts words together, often, that rhyme or with some rhythm coupled with obvious emotional and/or psychological baggage that have much to do with those things that she is, which, those closest to her call or assume poetry.
