Down but not Out
I'm breathing; still talking trash as I go.
I am down but I'm not out.
I still have my health; so why should I feel low?
I am down but I'm not out.
I'm doing bad today but tomorrow will be better than the previous days.
I am down but I'm not out.
As long as I have God on my side; nothing will ever stand in my way.
I've been back and forth to Inferno for so long.
It does not scare me as much.
I've tasted the Devil's pie and it made me cringe to my intestines.
I'm s… Continue

Elation (Acrostic Poem)
Elevate your mind to a new level of bliss.
Listen to my physique as it requests for your sensual kiss.
Accentuate your demands and I vow to give you the best of me.
Tickle my senses a little so I can get a taste of your mental remedy.
Ignite my desires because my thalamus yearns for exhilaration.
Open my cerebrum to new things because it is seeking new sexual sensations.
N case you don't know; my love is real, true, and everlasting.
Because D.R. is my name and "El… Continue

Gratitude by Dana Rettig
By Dana Rettig
When the world had sliced my soul,
You healed my scars.
When people said that I was bleak,
You told me to keep reaching for the stars.

You understood my pain.
When I cried because my man left me,
You gave me a tissue to wipe away the tear stain.
When I thought I was going to fail my classes,
You told me to keep striving.
When I wanted to put down my pen,
You told me to keep writing.
When I wanted to die,
You told me to breathe.

Freestyle (Brainiak's Way)
The way he strokes my brain got a priest like me focused.
Ready 2 cause ruckus like a person w/ a mental illness.
The lost is feelin' my knowledge because they know I spit nothin' but realness.
Cockiness ain't a part of my vocab, but my confidence is.
And she don't play no games like a pimp doesn't play when it comes to that mo-ney!
She walks w/ a smile on her face knowing that her game is sweet like honey.
Stress doesn't exist because my metaph… Continue

You don't have to ask my permission to send ANYTHING that is posted on this site...it is for all of you...that's why we post it. Liberated Muse is not affiliated with the anthology in any way, so we don't make any decisions regarding selection of pieces.
Best of luck sis and let us know if your piece makes the anthology!
-Moon:-)
The response may be sort of long, so I wanted to send you to sources with a wealth of information so that you may make an informed decision.
SPECIAL NOTE: Traditional Publishing you get paid less per book sold than you do when you Self-Publish.
The links that I provided will give you some additional resources, sites, blogs, links and videos, etc. on self publishing your own book and ebook. One of my goals is to share information and resources that will help others achieve their goals and realize their potential in this lifetime. Additionally, you'll learn a number of ways to monetize your web presence at the Make Money Online Goldmine Site.
