The power of the spoken word is healing. Nikki is no poet and sometimes finding the right words to express oneself is hard, the mind jumbles, the mouth disconnects from the traumatised brain and words become meaningless.
Nikki decided to bring a format to her words when words are given a
purpose they can empower.

The selection of poems and videos below are specific messages Nikki wrote after having a bad experience doing Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy which opened up Pandora's Box in her mind, forcing Nikki to relive the surpressed memories of trauma she had

"Looking Back"
The deception
To get attention
Gives misdirection
To another dimension.
Relating the crime
Gives a sense of grime.
But isn't it time
You acknowledge the rhyme?
Facing yourself.
Staring the elf,
Who gave you the shelf
And stole your health.
Reflecting attack
Aint looking back,
Its giving the sack
To the things that you lack!

"Look Deeper"
Doubt my intention?
Prefer your invention
Of my dimension?
Keep the suspension
And apprehension
Of hypertension as an extension.
That's 'Your' comprehension.
Pay attention!
Did i mention
Prevention from dissention?
"Don't tell me what to do!"
Ha! You pull that line too!
Never considered a cue
That's well overdue
For you to chew
And renew the view
That slew and threw
The true you
Into a coup without a clue.
You have been brewed!
"Don't dwell in the past!"
How long can you last
Feeding the beast
With an ego feast
That's not policed
But is released
So you get fleeced
To decrease the peace
And sublease the priest
That was greased!
A heart of zinc,
Still cares what you think?
Keeps open the link,
You blink and then sync
To the brink of an icy rink
Designed to clink
A poisoned drink of stink
With a wink from a carnivorous minx!

"Seeing the light"
The tables turned
When I learned
The return you yearn.
My perspective
Is the objective
You're subjective
To be effective.
A pawn no more,
I'm no longer "Your"
Thing to paw and make raw.
I refuse to play,
I'm not your clay
Because i pray to be ok.

"Spooked"
The premeditation
Is what creeps me out,
The deliberate. "Why?"
I scream and shout.
The calculated way,
The words you say.
The wilful imaginations
cause agitation.
The lucid dream is obscene.
Cold blooded intention,
There is no prevention.
Can't work in my head
How i fell for your dead soul.

"Control"
Forced to comply
You told me that lie.
Put fear in my head
Made me wish i was dead.
Whipped my skin
Because of my sin.
Smothered in guilt
That now I jilt.
Invisible prison bars unlocked,
Shame caused is defrocked.
Secrets and lies are
no longer hidden
The truth in my heart
cannot be forbidden.
"Good for nothing!"
You said I would be
"I must be something?"
I thought to me.
Breaking free of oppression
Is now my obsession.
The wisdom I've learnt
Cannot be burnt.
Truth be told
I'm not too old to be bold.
You tricked me
but now I'm free to simply be.
