Bri
my mind
becomes the playground
where thoughts
of worthlessness,
condemnation,
monkey around
on the bars
that connect
my mind
body
and spirit.
close my eyes,
darkness.
weakened
from the war
waging in my mind.
succumb
to my reality.
i'm told
there is light.
if i can't choose death,
please teach me to live.
defeat
can not reside
where rhythms of victory
dominate.
powerful
resides
within the depths
of the powerless.
the gift of suffering
feeds strength
to the soul.
i can not be refined
without scrapes.
i can not be healed
without wounds.
through cracks,
light dances,
i am
exquisitely,
uniquely,
beautifully,
broken.
British Aaliyah is a creative whose form of artistic expression is connecting the dots to create an exquisite masterpiece. Captivated by eyes that tell a personal story but connects to our own journey, Aaliyah enjoys recreating portraits, writing lyrical poetry with emotional intensity, and ministering through the radio waves at Worship 95.Â
âMy work is charged with fervor. Portraits go far beyond a pretty or interesting picture. Everyone has a story. Strength, adversity, and triumph complete the portrayal of each piece and can be personally interpreted. Character is not defined by beauty, yet it is identified through interpretation.â - British Aaliyah
