Daily 7/17/2025


Woke up at 3am this morning in the air humidity.

Turned off the conditioner saluted my own divinity.

Want coffee but It will lead to my slaughter.

Ran out of distilled can't use that tap water.

It is now in the morning 6:46 am.

Watched a few videos about Mae West for my day to begin.

My mom dressed me as her on halloween when I was 7.

Two years prior Ms. West went to heaven.

Michelle even taught me some of her lingo.

Sent me to second grade dressed as a sex symbol.

Her reasoning & intentions couldn't have been good.

Fighting back the urge to travel to the Ravenswood.

They have been trying hard to make me expire.

Want to be the empress of my empire?

Ms. West did not have relationships overlapping.

If everyone in her circle held hands she would be clapping.

She knew about the uncut grass and the snakes.

Knew most of you in her face were fake.

Making me cry to find out these things.

She was a psychic just like me.

I won't allow this to go on any longer.

Knowing who she was is making me stronger.

Says I am not allowed to settle for less.

Thank you for inspiring me Mae West.
