A Call Away

I stand at the end of the road waiting for you to join me. Wondering if I called out loud enough for you to hear. If you need me I'm only a call away. If you desire a shoulder to lean on I'm here. 


Love always, Esha

Unpopular Reality

Give me the truth 
One thing I learned about lying 
Is the upkeep cost is too high 
Because you have to lie again to maintain a lie 

So tell me the truth 
Even if it curls your upper lip 
And brings salty disappointment to trusting eyes 
I can't live in the dark 

Unaware of the light 
Always wondering why the story didn't make sense 
Sensing the inconsistencies in my mind 
Knowing that I'm being deceived 
 
By a fallacy that is wasting my precious time 
So tell me the truth 
I triple dog dare you to be honest 
Be the opposite of mainstream news 

And tell me the unpopular reality 
Give me the meat with the bones 
Leave no stone unturned in it's deliverance 
Either way it goes down like bitter medicine 

The hardest part is admitting to it's sour taste
Accepting it comes with time 
But even if it desolates 
The life I believed to be fine 

I would like to hear it, 
All the same  
Because you can't have the sunshine 
Without a little rain 

 Love always, Esha

Seeing Tomorrow

I look for the bright side. I think we all do! We search for the road to understanding knowing that the words necessary may elude us at times. But we try and try and try again. Knowing that each failure brings us closer to winning. The world may see your mistakes and call you a loser. They see your upsets as amusing anecdotes in an otherwise boring life. Don't be deceived by their laughter. Don't be consumed or compromised by the misplaced judgment you face. Don't be swayed by the hurt and pain people place on your crowded shoulders. It is not your burden to carry. Keep pushing for the tomorrow that others fail to see. Love always, Esha <3

Freedom Sings




Photo by Esha Montgomery


I wanna hear the loud banging of a new day dawning 

Let the tambourines shake 

Let the bass drop 

Let truth clash against lies like strong tides,

Hitting the desolate shore 

We need the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob 

We need freedom like a plant requiring soil 

Like a lamp with a plug but no power source 

We bang against the drum of hope 

Praying that the friction of our hands 

Strike fire in the heart of the oppressed 

If the illusion of democracy is over... what's next?

Let the burgeoning dreams of tomorrow sing a new song 


Love always, Esha <3
