I think it's important that when you get a large platform that you use it for good #Justiceforall. Also Kaepernick is bad ass! For his stance against injustice
I hear what you're saying Creating that sacred space sets the tone for vibrating on a higher frequency connecting you closer with the creator and allowing you to be in harmony with what your gifts are, aligning you with what your destiny is . Thus you being in harmony with the balance of life and spirit creating the sound of the music #Soulfulvibrations
This is beautiful. You are a true poet. I did not just read your poem, I heard it... I felt your story through it, and that is what true poetry and art is. You are a artist. Please keep making, publishing, and writing more art. I cannot wait to see more of you Johnny E. Mahaffey. I read your piece to my whole literary class, and my teacher said they need to read it five more times......without knowing it you touched so many people hearts and souls, not many people are able to connect to others in that way, its a gift, use it wisely. Thanks, A Friend Who Loves Beautiful Art
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder but this has convinced me that your love endures with the same intensity whether you are 5 feet apart or 5 miles. The media tries to dehumanize and criminalize those who are incarcerated and yet when you first walk into a prison you do not leave your emotions and humanity on the other side of the gate. Your beautiful writing reminds us all of your humanity and even more so it reminds us that no human was made to live caged. I hope you will get to see your loved ones soon, and get to hold them while you get to breath the free air that is everyone's birthright. I think it would impact many readers, including myself, if you expressed to us your opinions on what it is like to only see the outside world continue moving through a window or fence.
You are more than your number, I hope you always remember that. I am so inspired by the fact that you have found your weapon in writing. Censorship is bullshit. Your writing, is not. Keep living, keep writing, keep keeping on. Love and Light, Maya
This is absolutely stunning. Reading this, my heart ached for your situation. "Steeper than nineteen years of ink shy of life Bleeding from letters sent faithfully With answers seldomly received This story was conceived from my scars Emotions are razor wired and barbed" These words spoke to me especially. They reached into my soul and tore out emotions I had forgot to feel. Thank you for your beautiful words. This poem, and all your others. You are a true talent and your work should never be forgotten or looked past- your mind is a true beauty- never forget that. Never take the neurons in your skull for granted- for no number of days behind bars can ever lessen the yearning for life you possess. Thank you. Thank you for staying strong and taking value in your work. Love and Light, Maya
This is gorgeous. I can feel the power and intensity in your words and in the way you wrote them. I hope that you get to Jasmyn, or find another person who makes you feel even more in love. Do not give up on love. Hold onto the idea of infatuation and adoration and never let go. Love and Light, Maya
