Humbling Truth
Humbling Truth by Valerie Parente
To speak your mind is your God given right
but to be heard is a gift.
Be humbled when the world listens.

It’s About Time
It’s About Time by Valerie Parente
Don’t put off the thing you’re ready for if it makes you nervous
because the only thing you’re doing is putting off progress.
If it goes bad now you know why and it won’t torment you anymore,
if it goes well you’ll be blessed with a brand new chapter.

Writing Is Therapy
Writing Is Therapy by Valerie Parente
There’s something therapeutic and sincere
about rereading work that was once so dear
because even when you forget the reason behind the rhymes
you remember the lessons they brought to light.

It’s Quite Simple
It’s Quite Simple by Valerie Parente
If you don’t want a girl to write about you being a prick
then don’t use your sharp wit to pierce a narcissist
whose asked you over and over to quit with all the mindgame bullshit
then expect the wound you chose to inflict to be pleasantly dismissed.

Head In The Clouds
Head In The Clouds by Valerie Parente
The reality of the situation was way beyond me
and I’m still in deep shock over the whole thing
because I don’t understand how I let the truth go over my head
when my head was sky-high in the clouds
like it’s always been.

Real To Me
Commentary on Rather Be Haunted.
Real To Me by Valerie Parente
How miraculous it is when you’re realizing
that there is a mirror between the universe and your psyche.
I saw a ghost and I thought it was real,
I had a connection with a boy that I thought was real
and whether it was real on the outside or just make-believe
this haunted experience had a real impact on me
so to come up with the title without even thinking
about how that metaphor mirrored my psychological making
became another “a-ha” moment where I knew God was with me
and without a doubt I know He was partaking in my journey.
These synchronicities don’t happen every now and then
they happen all the time, it’s just a matter of recognizing them.

Poetic Plot
Poetic Plot by Valerie Parente
For the past few years
the only thing that got rid of my writer’s block
was when you’d go and pissed me off
so now that you’re dead and gone
I’m struggling to remember how to start.
How do I write a piece from my heart
without getting your image involved?
Because you were the one to break me apart
and I know that contradicts my thoughts
that I’m trying to write about moving on
but it’s way too damn hard
not to end this with a vicious remark
a quick fuck you for affecting my art
and a quick thank you for making me your pawn
because that sick game you called my fault
made a hell of a good poetic plot.
