    About this ebook

    Twenty Three Years of Lesson is the first book of the seven ‘Twenty Something Chronicles’ series.’
    “No more wondering if you can make a better future tomorrow, start now.” Life has a funny way of reminding you of what is essential and what isn’t. I couldn’t wait one more moment sulking about what could have been; I had to look towards the future. Allow journaling to be your therapy, ask yourself your most in-depth questions and find your answer and know there are people out there who understand and have the compassion to help you through your darkest hours. Just the fact of not being the only one can help some while for others, not letting their pain shown or known brings solidarity. Some things only God and time can heal, but you can make changes in your day to day life to work towards a better view so that you can see your worth and know your value. Taking steps week by week to own back your power can be your most reliable tool. What better support than an altar of hope? My prayer closet has helped me through some of my darkest hours; I hope that my wisdom and experience can bring some form of grace and peace for you too.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

    Twenty Three Years of Lessons - Dellandra Adams

    Distance

    So much energy in this place;

    so much energy used caring for you;

    so much negativity within this energy; 

    I feel it stronger than ever now;

    it's you and maybe me; 

    my mental health;

    I don't think you have the capacity

    to understand the limitations washing over me;

    to take care of you and me;

    it's you;

    it always has been;

    I'll be back in a week, a month, a year;

    however long it takes to get myself back here;

    but if you ever need me just know I'm near;

    for distance is just a place;

    I am here. 

    Blue

    I am the ocean;

    View me in my vastness; 

    admire my depth.

    I am powerful enough to sink you within;

    down to the bottom to see my floor;

    deep enough to save you;

    I am water;

    pure enough to cleanse you;

    deep enough to drown you. 

    The Storm

    After all of this;

    all of these storms;

    all of the chaos;

    I am free.

    Free from the lightening that brought the thunder;

    free from the clouds that brought the rain;

    I am free.

    Blame

    Ever since that day, you haven't been the same;

    can't bat your eye or even call me by my

    name the same;

    words unexplained proves someones to blame;

    after this, I will never be the same

    and if I were to carry all this shame,

    I would have never overcome;

    to feel the love and experience the righteousness of God's love;

    god's love has oversewn your darkness;

    he sees all, and even in the darkness of the night he shows his light;

    I am in the light now;

    moving by the strength of God;

    moving past you and your still fragrance.

    Cold Thoughts

    No room to grow in this place;

    being honest here is such a disgrace.
