UNSPOKEN There are those moments Unspoken The kind you find in children’s eyes. Where keys are hidden unspoken Dreams broken Quiet like dawn And the presence of daylight is gone silent like Goodbye Unspoken dreams Spoken in the birth of fawns And the dirt of idols makes the dust of men clean

About the Book
A Rock and a Hard Place establishes Syd Stewart as a pioneering voice of a complex generation. This collection of pieces is an intimate illustration of perseverance and a catalyst for the motivation to identify and walk in your purpose. Her voice is a unique combination of the revolutionary, raw genius of Tupac Shakur balanced with the wisdom and spirituality of Maya Angelou. Take a thought-provoking, soul-stirring, rhythmically engaging journey into the naked truth of abuse, the ignored reality of societal injustice, the fierceness of love and above all the universal reasons we all have to press on … Miracle Mantra I am content At peace with my soul I am a strong link, but I will not be chained I will initiate and engage change I will connect to the collective I am significant in the lives of everyday people Making my purpose extraordinary Wisdom and endurance are my strengths in times of sorrow God is my source and my portion I am more than enough
