My Life
It’s such a mess
Am mentally all over the place.
Bestie says, “Just get it together “ !
Risk It
Life can be tough and rough no doudt ride it out take lords hands you will stand it will be better look up shake the dust GET IT TOGETHER
Get it together
And go to school
Study your books
Your mother did not raise a fool
Do not mess around
Grab as much knowledge as you can
Just open your mind
This should be your plan
this is no game
not about fame
stop being insane
you can gain
stop this down and out pain
stand tall its your wall
be like other
GET IT TOGETHER BROTHERS
this is your time
make life shine
for you and me too
drinking wine
beinging drank blind
is not a lord sign
we need to help other
and one anuther
GET IT TOGETHER BROTHER
times or good
well understood
times can be bad
your look so sad
like your under the weather
hey you need too this you mus do
GET IT TOGETHER
A Note to Self
You and you alone
can make the change
in your life to make it
brighter!
Self
Self you need to try a different angle
Years of trusting the wrong person
Has left you frazzled and depressed
Enough
Enough self-inflicted wounds on your heart
Cease the long waiting to exhale
Stop blaming others for your misfortune
Change
Make a change for your heart’s health
Flip the scrip this one isn't working
You and you alone can change yourself
For Poet ~ Destroyer's contest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpiWkSa19eI ~~India Arie - "Get it together"
You are the major determinant of your fate,
You can fly,you can live or die at a due date,
To heal your body,you need to put your mind straight,
Trust in yourself for the future holds something great,
Think of yourself and make the right choices to open this gate,
Nagging from friends can make your heart beats at a faster rate,
which can put you in a terrible state,
summon up courage and don`t take this bait,
Sow a good seed to reap a good weight,
Get it together and go for gold,for it is not too late,
To choose life is to choose to live;for this ,there is no debate,
Pain and failure are not for you,these you must hate,
You reap what you sow and you sow to create;
to create a bright future do not delay or wait.
CONTEST:"Get It Together" sponsored by PD
You need to open your eyes
You’ve let yourself go
I don’t know what happened
But get your ducks in a row
You’ve gained some weight
A little to say the least
Is it the medication you’re taking?
Or are you on a mission to feast?
I don’t feel as though I have
My clothes still fit me the same
Even articles from many years ago
Still fit my maintained frame
Is your mission in life to hurt me?
And destroy my self-esteem?
These things I’d never say to you
For their words unable to redeem
I guess I’d never dream of telling you
Things which would cause you pain
I guess when all is said and done
You’re the one unable to refrain
Realizing why, Bulimia was my lust
Disgusted disappointment with every glance
Unable to meet your expectations
I never stood a chance
