WORDING

When everything 
Falls in place for you 
When you feel like, you're on top the world 
Mind your actions 
Even when you're highest 
Live with humility, but don't be timid 
Don't act like you own the world, because it revolves.

What goes up 
Must surely come down
The law of gravity 
Nothing blooms forever 
The law of nature 
Even when you know a lot 
Act like you know nothing, but be bold 
As season pass by, things and people change.

As written in the Bible 
Matthew 20:16
The first shall be the last
And the last the first 
The law of reversal 
Pay attention, so you don't regret it.

They act like I don't exist

The most heartbreaking thing in a mother's life 
Is the that you are made to feel even though you are a mother of three and you are a wife
It doesn't make you feel good and it breaks your heart 
When the 3 children that you gave life to 
Acts like to them you don't exist and that all that you ever did for them wasn't even real 
They happily post all kinds of things pictures and stuff online 
But look back on social media through the years 
Not one picture of me with the family you will never find
It's like they forgot they are mine 
All i see is hurtful I can't even hold back the tears
I know uI wasn't the best of moms but I did the best I could 
I'm only human like everyone else I made mistakes and bad choices and if I could be given a chance to go back and change the past I wouldn't hesitate change everything then I really would 
But I can't help but wonder after so many years that my kids could hold such a grudge 
I don't even know what I had done wrong but none of them have the right to judge

Act Like Crazy

An hungry man

Premium Member We Wont Act Like That

Newlyweds in Michigan City trailng tin cans pause at the stoplight.
Car hauling distraught looking man on a rope races out of sight
You don’t suppose that’s her husband! The new groom said.
Oh yes it is, said the bride. He’s my uncle, his name is Ted.

But it says they have been married thirty years.
My Aunt Agnes is awful, she told him, thus, his tears.
The new groom stared at his bride uncomfortably.
We won’t act like that he said. She smiled and said “we shall see.”

Don'T Act Like You Don'T Know Me

Now I've been quiet for a long time
And i ain't keeping quiet no more.
You once were loving, then controlling,
And ran me straight outta the door.
Now when I first saw your face,
You were the one who kissed my tears away...
Now all you do is push me around,
And you can't expect me to stay....

Your love, it wasn't true.
It was never me and you.
My heart's filled with misery.
Don't act like you don't know me.

Don't stand there lookin all sad now,
With tears rollin down your face.
Cause I was nothing but kind to you,
And you threw me all around the place.
When I chose to leave,
That's when you chose to act right....
But now it's too late,
My heart's filled with hate,
And I no longer choose to fight.

Your love, it wasn't true...
It was never me and you....
This heart's full of misery....
Don't act like you don't know me.

Must I Act Like a Goat

Must I act like a Goat for you to know
that I am not a Goat?
Goats are stupid and senseless but I am not!
Treat me not like a Goat 'cause I am not one!
You know it all but never give me a breathing space.



Must I act like a Goat to show you that i
Don't like your character and face?
You think I can't  wait and see another
Who can over throw you in the same act.
Change your attitude towards others in your life.
We are all in a learning field of life.



You think that I am a Goat because I acted like one?
No I am not, I did that to get something from you.
Must I act like goat always to you in life?
I may be one today but tomorrow I will not!
Differentiate me from those Goats at your door,
I am not one of them!

You Act Like God Shouldn'T Have Created Me

You Act Like God Shouldn’t Have Created Me!

You act as though God shouldn’t have created me!
You show this by the way you’ve treated me!

You go through life, as if I don’t exist!
I’m not able to talk to you…
As you insist!

If you truly valued this life that God gave me…
Won’t you take some time and show me?

I’m probably not what you’d expect someone to be…
And yet you’ve chosen
 not to be around me!

Is this what God wanted?  
Or what he had in mind?
That day that he decided to create mankind?

Jesus came!  With a message of forgiveness!
He died on the cross, because he loves us!

Won’t you be God’s fountain of love, that’s overflowing?
It needs to come from your heart…
 And showing!

We’re all important and valuable to God almighty.
Whether you’re an infant, teenager,
 or the age of 90!

God created us, so that one day we can be together.
Do you want to be with me in heaven, forever?

May God be glorified in what’s
 done amongst us!
Can we come together?
And ask God to bless us?

Act Like a Man

I’ve bitten my tongue one too many times.
Tasting my blood of defeat.
But above all else, I wish I would just speak.
To tell him to shut the **** up already.
And show him that I’ve tolerated his degrading uses
of the words, *****, gay, and *** long enough.
But every time I protest, it is I who tastes blood of defeat.
And locks myself in my room, to scream and cry
about being too weak.	
He wants me to “act like a man.”
And to “grow a set of balls.”
****, why doesn’t he just clone me to be six feet tall?
And be a man without a job and no morals at all?
And brag to my homeboys about my sex life and refer to women as *****es.
Or to pick on boys like me—who he wouldn’t mind giving stitches.
And yet, he wants me to “act like a man.”
No, he wants me to be more like him.

Act Like Something We Ain'T

sometimes the 
African Juju spirit
inside of me
make me want be 
Kunta Kinte but
all we really 
have to do 
as Black Folks is
to let go of 
all that and a bag of chips 
the negative images and the stereotypes
love thyself because
we have a real beauty
deep within us
we define who we are
as a Great People
from Mother Africa
if we act naturally and
stop trying to 
act like something we ain't
brother and sisters
we can do this
