    About this ebook

    Throughout life, we are taught to suppress the parts of ourselves that are deemed undesirable and horrifying according to societal standards. However, those unconscious thoughts and whims will eventually surface at some point. The more you try to escape them, the closer they become. Writing has enabled me to get in touch with my shadow self. Because of this, I am able to live an authentically and have the confidence to be vulnerable since all my scars are just trophies life has given me for healing from what once ailed me...

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Shadow Work - Khali Raymond

      A Loose Soul

      no longer the same kid at all

      industry turned me out like a sweaty workout jacket

      and didn’t understand too many demands

      from fans would tear him in half

      social media made a nigga too vulnerable and didn’t understand

      not everything glittering is gold

      almost becoming enslaved to metrics, embarrassing

      god is shaking his head with disgust again

      life’s worthless without likes…

      whoever said that must be a dumbass

      a loose soul with mileage reading his accomplishments

      deep within me there’s a grave unquailed insecurity

      since i open myself up to criticism and demonic possession

      feedback is much different, i’m talking threats and dismissals

      tending to fear my imagination

      tending to suppress my intelligence

      tending to stay out of the spotlight

      no matter the measures i take

      actions speak louder than the hustle

      itself yet i find myself hustling anyway

      no matter the measures i take

      once the food is out, always swoop with haste to pick it up

      fuck

      it becomes da’ moment i’m spotted, everyone begins talking

      a loose soul with baggage spelling his burdens carried

      truth be told, i am damaged witness the wounds fade as

      barbarians continuously pelt me with their weapons

      yes, plasma splatters and skin breaks but i have experience in taking discomfort

      just look at how i grew up

      just look at the way i write my lines

      just look at how ferocious i am whenever at the laboratory

      a loose soul with a chip of granite hurling it at the witches

      fuck you and ya’ magic

      i’ll rupture your anal cavity after i shove the wand up your ass

      a new season is approaching

      you’ll wish that ya’ treated me with more respect

      those stones being flung will not graze me at
