Water Under the Bridge

As much as I cared & wanted to 
be there to share life & space, u 
forced my love away. I tried... 
exposed the depths of my heart, 
mind & invested time. Got lost 
in u gladly but sadly ... Itz 
water under the bridge. 
Speaking resounding peace into 
my realty & what I must be... 
strong enough to let go & let 
God refill me. Rejecting the 
weakness that craves, the 
waves... back & forth, up & 
down, we crashed & burned, 
yet... I've learn. Rising from the 
ash & resurrected from rejection 
also known as my blessing ... 
the break of chains. Tears stains 
& pain is weakness leaving the 
body once the lessons is 
received, u can't hold on to 
what's is not

meant to be, chasing a dream 
will only lead to you being 
depleted but I'm undefeated. 
Borrowed strength from the how 
I got over'z ... the praises, the 
truth, remembered how I 
nurtured the girl who was 
damaged in my youth. How I 
cried & asked why, but my life 
moved on, took the strength 
from the hurt of my past in my 
arms, full armor... Strong!! 
Daily Psalms... & remembering 
never to loose Isaiah No 
weapon's formed against me 
shall prosper... So try again 
player. No longer victim to ur 
lust, I shall conquer & defeat, 
remember my spirit is willing 
even though my flesh may get 
weak. My children daily 
reminders of motivation ... 
they're beacon of light, morning 
Starr...  devour the darkest 
nights woman of God shine 
bright. What I gave u is water 
under the bridge... I am peace 
amongst ur troubled waters, I 
am calm & victorious in my 
escape living to make the best 
of everyday. Learning to invest 
in myself & love fearlessly in he 
who loves me ... all praises to 
God who is worthy to be praised 
FOR EVERYTHING, thank u for 
ur forgiveness & the gift of 
repentance... renewed faith... I 
dropped my baggage yes I lost 
weight... I noticed I'm lighter & 
much healthier now without the 
dramaticz & demons trying to 
convert me to be who u felt I 
should be. The equation 1plus 0 
is still 1... the subtraction u... u 
had nothin when I met you ( 
unconditional love)... I 
upgraded u. Tried N da past to 
add urself unto me, tried to use 
& abuse me but now....Water 
under the bridge! This 
expression simply my release 
with ease, it is what it is. But I'll 
tell u what it's not....Itz not 
holding on to the abuse, 
women/men must speak of 
truths & act on what is known 
as freedom. free ourselves or 
drown deeply in the waters ... 
under the bridge! u must 
choose. {Peace & blessings to 
whomever reads this 
expression. It wasn't to bash! It 
was simply to say that 
sometimes in 
relations/relationships we settle 
for that rob's us mentally, 
emotionally, & spiritually. I had 
the power every time to break 
the chains in that moment but... 
I subjected myself to the 
undeserving. Now that I am out 
of the belly of the beast "once 
again" lol... I say unto myself & 
u... if u know better do better ... 
if it doesn't feel right it isn't. If it 
hurts... Itz not love. If ur light is 
not shining bright due to the 
shade of someone who doesn't 
care.... Please move on & let it 
be water under the bridge. Let 
the healing began}. Peace & 
blessings as the sunshine 
embraces u this morning or as 
the moon caresses you beneath 
the ~Blackstarrz
