Poems by Tracye Wroten

patience

What is this phrase? How do you obtain it? Why do we need it? Where can I buy it? I know I don’t have it. I will strive to achieve it!

Patience.

Lovely Day, Lovely Day

I’m really hoping that I have a lovely day. Lovely day... How will I avoid all the negativity around me? Lovely day... Sometimes, it’s just too fuckin’ hard. Lovely day... But with the help of my inner circle I’ll have a lovely day.

Still

Things are always moving— trains, planes, buses, people— My mind is always racing. I am physically here, there, and everywhere. Recently, I found out that it’s OK to be still.
