Jazelle Tatum Can forgiveness cure rage? Acrylic paint, secondhand lamp, 12 inch tall For a long time, I was very angry at the world. In my circumstance, angry at my family, angry at Society and especially myself.
This was not at all an easy thing to admit… I felt as if my anger was all I had.
Still to this day my anger lingers. Caressing my fingers like the trigger of a gun waiting to go off. A part of me wants to be the angry black woman because I have every right to be. on the flipside and this is a hard pill I’m still digesting!
That anger is not all I have. I am so much more than just my frustration or trials and tributes.
I feel things intensely. I am highly sensitive and emotional.
My superpower and my kryptonite are my emotions! Only since becoming the villain. I have learned to harness the powers of my anger by channeling it into my creativity, my gratitude, my success. Everyone has a sad story… for me, that’s all the more reason. To continue to season my food and my output with gratitude and love. Forgiving you not so you feel better, but so I can make peace and become everything I have dreamed of being.
This piece serves as a reminder to me and other reflections of the human experience that you are your own light! You have the power to raise your inner child in a healthy way, not in the way that our parents did because they did the best they could, with their circumstance, but now it’s my turn to re-raise me With all I have left! my gratitude and forgiveness will take me far on that journey! Thank you to all who go and find your light! @artntatsbymanju $222 |
