I focus on the little things, but I do have big dreams.

  • Dream it. -September 2020

    THE COLORS OF CHANGE- Collage 11×14

  • Stories in the Space Between |9~21~25| Acrylic and Oil pastel on Cavas| 24X30

    There are stories in the space between everything and the unseen. Can you read the signs? There are moments in the space between breathing and living where the truth will hide. Between a dark room and a living sky, Sanai is beckoned to face the light, the patterns cycled, deeply inside, an ease shifted the night. A confidence erupted as she became a conduit to create constant change. We’re all players in this marvelous game.

  • The monsters in everything- Summer 2022

    “The monsters are in everything you have to find them before they catch you”

    -Transforming Reign: Volume 1

  • days like these

    “Warm skies

    Slight breeze

    Sweet whispers

    Swaying trees Song birds

    Wind chimes

    Calm hearts

    Clear minds days like these give me ease

    they help me realize what i’m meant to see

    they help me see the beauty in things

    and how grateful my heart’s supposed to be sometimes I lose track of time

    and miss the beauty of my life from now on, my eyes will be as open and honest as the sea “

  • Lost actions

    It ate me up inside.

    The pain that would reside in the smallest crevice of my mind.

    The pain that likes to hide and runs away,

    afraid to face the actions of my mind. What

    happened that was so painful that I had to decide only one of two things are right: not remembering or not caring? And which one could be so daring to face me in a match of my own demise?

    —LOST ACTIONS

  • Tears for the World- 2018

    Tears for the world is all I see.

    Tears for the world who hates me.

    Brown skin, dark eyes, someone I hardly recognize.

    It’s me though, despite all the hardships

    the looking glass never lies.

    My eyes used to shine,

    the world seemed so peaceful.

    Yet I’ve awoken and the worlds truths hunt me.

    They’ve made me question everything I’ve ever known.

    They’ve even made me question me.

  • What Do you see? | The Hermit Summer 2023

    _**The hermits refrain**_ Transforming Reign: Volume 2

    Traitorous mind constantly stuck in the cycle of lies.

    unenergized by the feelings left behind

    I ignore the chore that is my bargaining burdens

    Blinded by the blight that would have been my purpose

    What did I do to deserve this drafty misery?

    The pain protected my anxiety, starving the light in me.

    As real as can be, just like the trauma. My mind won’t mesh

    It’s between fear and peacefulness.

    My scared soul will reveal the pearls of the sea.

    Turning parasites into pretty possibilities.

    I didn’t want to be seen, fear a big part of my being, blinded by the faults,

    Wanting to stay asleep, hiding from accepting my reality.

    Ashamed that my journeys not the same as the majority, working towards my GED, before the head injury’s school was my sanctuary, now thought of crowded halls makes it seem so scary, years in isolation struggling with social anxiety, if I’m in a crowded place fill with smells and loud scenery. I stretched to peel the loose skin around my fingertips.

    Hunched over with headphones, trying to recenter my awareness.

    I’m tempted to try to teleport to my new reality!

    Jesus, guide me

    Memory strong, reliving the chorus of my least favorite song over and over and over again.
