To have dodged a bullet is heard by me as a clear soft symphony, it reminds me that all is a dramatized sigh of relief whether stressed, sad, annoyed, mad or worried, it all ends the same with the word that is second most heard than your name; “it is all going to be okay” whether in your head or said. To have dodged a bullet is the best kind of relief, either thought of or heard. Being told you have dodged a bullet is like someone whole willingly taking out the knife stabbed in your back you thought you could never remove until sane. To be told you have dodged a bullet is a moment of silence out of the few you rarely experience, the soft ringing in your ear, confused thoughts on how you got here, it is like the destination you so desired. To the hopeless butterflies flying away from my stomach, my terrible luck and the universe I relied too much on for comfort, I apologize. Still experiencing the comfort of the silence, life is still not over yet. With life being so unfortunate of course there's more stories to the questions I push into the back of my mind due to fear . To be loved is to be seen, and how am I capable of experiencing love if what they try to seek frightens me. Love is a beautiful thing, it's something that truly excites me. But so is my health and my love for individuality. Obsession turns into disgust,and dishonesty gives it life, whether playing into it or saying it. To the lies that are now dead. To the boy dressed nice holding the gun of a masked persona, I couldn't see the shades of heartbreak on his coat. Who would pay attention when being held at gunpoint? He missed his shot to a 3rd degree, to have dodged a bullet has given me a clear view, breathing in a fresh start away from the boy I thought I knew. “To have dodged a bullet” I can say it a million times and not think about that one horrible time. To have dodged a bullet is within itself one of the most beautiful lines i've been told that has healed my mental heath. Whether it was a lie to save my sanity, I will never forget the person who said it to me.
Side note: this poem, you could say, healed me while writing it, this was my closure. This is what kept me going. The reason as to why I wrote this happened in real time. I will never forget the girl who said this to me in a time of need. We weren't all that close either. Thank you.
Never have put all my faith, in someone I've not met
but when it comes to Presidents, I had to hedge my bet
I listened, just to what was said, from the horses mouth
teleprompter easy read, what's from his heart went south
Everyone just turns away, because of who has spoken
the little "adlibs" at the end, are called a "trademark token"
It took awhile to readjust, not comfortable at first
waiting for the "Hope and Change", instead things just got worse
I don't put words in peoples mouths, news briefly passes by
hesitations, pauses too, just watch and you'll know why
His demeanor says it all, can't look you in the eye
like a child's hand in a cookie jar, caught in another lie
I voted Independent, just like I always do
"08" I said I'll take a chance, and vote for something new
Took a chance and voted once, against what's in my heart
hoping this would be the one, to give us a fresh start
Listened to the arguments, on both the Left and Right
checked my dwindling bank account, it's almost out of sight
Some people think I'm selfish now, look at the flag I've flown
it's odd I've no Entitlements, and pay for my own Phone
How do you let him off the hook, divided we now stand
his bitterness shows near and far, beyond the Rio Grand
If you don't agree with him, they say you're spewing hate
they won't sit down and talk it out, no common sense of late
People think they understand, compassion in their hearts
you have "yours", let them have "theirs", forget that "theirs is ours"
Try to remain civilized, and show them you do care
he seems to think we "owe the world", his way to make it fair
Redistribution of our wealth, the "Robin Hood" effect
give it to the "have-nots, their life is such a wreck
If you never worked for "it", believe me you're not owed
reason for the "Bridge Card"? We won't know we've been snowed
He's not alone you understand, "bad apple in the bunch"
I really think he tops the list, of course that's just a hunch
We can go back a lot of years, "W M D s" and more
his sights are set, it's "Tunnel Vision", to give away the "Store"
Bring them in, from down below, he'll smile and look away
knowing well, that all of them, are surely here to stay
A scary thought (you know it's true) he's letting ISIS in
his hope and change "America", he tries, but will not win.....
Song by George Jones
There is some Good News
Not to find in the news
Which loves to create division and hate
Just out to get the most ratings
All can see this world is falling fast
But we love to broadcast it
To leave one in no hope
But the good news is
This should seek one to seek for better
Not to want to belong unto it
This world is run by the evil one
To see all the division even in churches
What happened to one spirit
Which Jesus sent to dwell within
This should bring unity
Spirit joins one with another spirit
Sees no color or religion
I glance at all the different churches
Only God can pull one out of it
To reveal how corrupt mankind is
Thankfully God showed me
That my path was leading to death
I shall judge none because God saved me
And I have seen all have this hope within
It's the unseen spirits that are deceiving
We all have to get to a point
To say there must be something better
It's now like watching Satan running rampant
Knowing his time is short
Trying to deceive as many to drag it out
There is great news for the ones that
Are seeking better which are tired
Of all the chaos , depression, seeing hatred
Not fitting in with this world
Which is a great thing
We don't want to follow mankind
But through calling upon Christ
Bring division within oneself
To place the old self in the grave
No matter what this world tells one
They have no judge over the soul
Jesus came to die for sinners
To bury that old lifestyle to give a fresh start
No longer seeking to belong to this world
But seeking to be pulled out of it
Jesus said the tax collectors and prostitutes
Would enter His kingdom
For they come to an end hopefully
To see their own path is not good
Before the self righteous
Which claims to appear good only to man
While the inside is full of corruption
God sees all my friends
Either His spirit from Christ reigns within
Or the spirit of this world evil one
I love you all and will be here
To encourage all and give support
In this battle of the unseen that's taking place
Would be great if one could see
It's within us that needs to be destroyed
So Jesus prayer of May your kingdom
Come on earth as in heaven, this takes
The spirit of Christ available to dwell within
Jesus loves you all and is waiting
Patiently for that one which seeks
If Dr. King was here today at us he would probably shout
for us to stop making excuses and find a way to work it out
we're constantly stressed and we just need to see
that misery loves nothing more than to have some company
always with our stories and drama is our calling card
nothing worthwhile is easy and we think our problems have gotten hard
so stuck in our ruts and unwilling to try anything new
incapable of looking at life from God's point of view
no more excuses allow God to move you along
it's time to stop singing that same old tired song
climb out of that river named denial and start swimming ahead
let God guide your story so your life will be spirit led
no more excuses we have now been vindicated
a Black man in the Oval Office we've been validated
to look through the lens of grace which is the eyes of God
to get a new attitude and make a fresh start
to man up, to stand up and start taking care of our own
to be productive human beings, independent and now grown
no more excuses and if you go out and make babies
be the head of your household and support your family
if they won't let you coach the team but will let you play
walk away from that organization right away
if they'll let your join a group but won't let you lead
that is not the association in this life that you need
guys pull up your pants and girls pull down your skirts
you have too many choices in life than to be just thugs or flirts
walk with your heads held high for now you're on higher ground
you've been elevated by God and have no more excuses now
no more excuses, no more reasons to just complain
learn to pay it forward so your living won't be in vain
no more excuses be willing to make a sacrifice
like Jesus the Christ did for you when He gave His life
to look out for each other and always willing to lend a hand
to love one another like the Lord Our God did plan
no more excuses step out of your comfort zone
and remember you're not in this world alone
remember and respect your elders who fought and cried for you
acknowledge them always and give them their proper due
speak life to your children and encourage them to succeed
for they are the future and the fruits of our seeds
no more excuses let the Lord God guide your story
to live by His Holy Word and to give Him all the glory
Your Pain will be temporary but eternal glory awaits
You will rise to the top through heavens pearly white gates
You will tell the whole world how low for you life became
And just like a phoenix how you rose from the flame
you have been chosen to lead one of god’s special tribes
so trust in whats happening and in the words that you scribe
your tribulations and trials you bravely took on yourself
so when your army descended they’d always have a good health
you’ll feel every emotion from fear love hate and elation
these are your most precious gifts for you to share with the nation
I will bless your loving family with a strength from up high
To hear truth in your voices and see trust in your eyes
A special blessing i’ll bestow upon each one of you
So precious and powerful trusted in just a few
My dear brother Andrew live your life to this rule
A foolish man rides a stallion but the learned a mule
So tell me how much worse it gets so I can be prepared
My worry is i’ll go to far and that’s what makes me scared
Difficulty seeing who’s a friend or a foe
Letting intrigue beat sense which hardly leads to a no
I feel crowded in an empty room and deafened by no sound
My brain is playing hide and seek but logic can’t be found
Im tired each and every day from building my defence
To shield the world from what I feel
inside that’s so intense
Stop and listen to my voice that I shall send to thee
If then I feel your true desire my presence you will see
A promise made upon thy name and never will be broken
The time when peace resides within your ears will hear what’s spoken
You plan your life around a clock that only has one hand
use guess work in the times in life to run or when to stand
As efforts are misplaced and focused in the wrong direction
Your children are in desperate need of there dads protection
This will last for a moment but a vital part of your lifes plan
So cast your eyes far and wide and take in all that you can
Your mind shall repair and your strength be restored
Your words shall be heard as if a lion has roared
Forgiveness be given and never spoke of again
Your joy will be felt 10 fold more than your pain
So trust in all of what prompts in your heart
That is the journey towards a fresh start
The man wandered through the lonely and desolate earth. Suffering a tribulation
of exile from human relationships. He was the last one, the only one, the only
man left on Gaia. Walking, he went forward, onto the hill where he shall be
saved. The darkness and purity emanating at the same time from the sacred
hill. What was his new fate to be? As he pondered he climbed to the top of the
hill and observed…
The animals, creatures of Gaia
Happy in the solace they found
Butterflies dancing between each other
A dance of courtship
A promise to share lives coherently
As beautiful as the butterflies were, they vanished
The man’s eyes averted quickly and saw…
Power, Dominance, Death, and Beauty
Beauty, oh… the irony
Distressed nature trying to rebirth areas of discontent
Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Hurricanes, and Tornadoes
Problems, but not
Beautiful, the tornado
Nature’s renewal
Absorbing impurities and leaving nothing but a fresh start
Volcanoes blew high stacks of lava
To the sky it rose, no boundaries
While being absorbed in the light of the crimson sky, the man saw something
invigorating…
Comets flying through the celestial heavens
The universe, one space with minor hindrances
Stars, eclipse, Luna, Life
New wonders in the black
Scared and awed at the same time the man looked away…
Trees dancing through the wind
Soothing white cherry blossoms mourning
Mourning the cycle of life into death
As they, the trees
Released the tears of nature’s spores
Sad to the fate of future comings, death
The end of the cycle
Now confused, the man looked abroad and set his eyes upon the whole picture…
All pieces of nature flow together
Life into death
Creation to birth
Controlled by the passages of time
Nature a whole unity
Every area of Mother Gaia is one
The balance perfect without the fingers of man tainting the purity
Then, the man’s memories came back. The human’s tainted ness was like a
cancer to the dear beloved Gaia. Killing her they were. Now the last one was left
to ponder the natural order and progression. Knowing his inevitable fate he
fulfilled his destiny. The man with his final breathes waited on the top of the hill
and passed slowly to the grip of the heavens.
Farewell…

Her thoughts are scattered
Her emotions running wild
Everything seems to be a bit off
She doesn't quite feel like herself
Unsure of how to explain it to others
When she tries to talk about it she's at a loss for words
When she tries to write nothing comes out right
Someone once said write what's in your heart and soul
Just put it on paper and revise it later
Usually when nothing else works
Her writing always does the trick
But even now she finds herself at a crossroad
Her writing has always reflected her thoughts
Her own way of escaping it all
But now even that doesn’t seem to be the cure
Perhaps it's because her writing has always been so personal
And now even in that it shows the confusion she holds within
She can't run nor can she hide
The problem at hand she must face
But where to start she has no clue
Seems as if no matter what she tries to do
She feels as if she stands in a crowd
Screaming so loud yet no one can hear
Almost as if she can't really be seen
Leaving her feeling invisible to those around her
As no one really understands what she's going thru
All the things she used to do for peace
Only leaves her with more questions
As to why she can’t escape all that she's feeling now
All this just leaves her feeling so broken
A new book she tries to open
Thinking of starting over once more
But a new page in a new book
Doesn't change a thing
There's so much she has overcome
And this too will pass
It just seems as if it won't pass fast enough
A fresh start, a fresh heart, a fresh way of seeing the world
Those are the things she seeks
And yet those are things she can't seem to find
No matter where she turns or where she looks
But still she finds the courage to keep pushing
Trying again and again
Her own hero she has become
Learning that no one would fight for her but her
So even when she struggles she refuses to give up
Cuz when you are at your lowest
She's come to learn
That from there it can only get better
And though it may not happen overnight
IT WILL HAPPEN
In that much she has faith
After all she's been here before
And if you can get thru it once
You can get thru it again
You just gotta hang on for the ride
Keep your head held high
And matter what else you do
Never Give up the Fight!!!
Behold, Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
Children are faithfully a blessing from Lord God
Lord God has blessed us with countless amounts of items so where should I start
I suppose the heart is the most accurate area to start; because the minute you sacrifice birth to a newborn it’s a fresh start for your heart
When the newborn grows to be one or two that’s the moment you draw your chart
Invest in a Gerber Life plan
Provide a stunning future plan
Regardless if you sacrificed birth to a girl or The Wayans littleman
Tahj Mowry daughter or guy my child’s smart
Once you bring home satisfactory grades I’ll reward you with something in my cart
I’ll purchase you several games plus Mario cart
On the other hand once you ignore your home matters; mother will pop you the opposite of pop tarts
Construct your personal business similar to Vince Mchahon
On no matter what contribute wholly that’s all I demand
Am I speaking in French, Greiche, or Spanish Nike check for understanding
Whatever you do in the light similarly do in the dark
Under no circumstances conceal anything; Lord God Lord Jesus Christ notices everything particularly in the dark
You will pay for your sins Lean on Lord God not Joe Clark
You watch the Simpsons please don’t live to be the next Bart
Grant your existence to Lord God and your achievements will expand
Pay attention to who you call your friend there’s no love in a band
I bear in mind like it was yesterday when you were playing in the sand
Daydreamed the other day I was walking you through the park
Alongside your pup name Mark composing loud barks
Seeing is believing to children if you didn’t believe me mortals didn’t believe Noah about the ark
It’s a benediction to provide you with a dinner fork
Lord God is with you ubiquitously so lunge out and grasp his Mighty hand
It’s a prosperous life with a career collecting cans
Jostle relentlessly multiple punches Joe Frazier landed to possess income to acquire multiple lands
Hygiene is vital love water like a shark
Your wardrobe like noodles select diverse flavors other than pork
If you’re under the weather where ever you are I’ll explore the nearest port
Son/Daughter I’ll Love you eternally even when I’m a corpse.

Pretty pink pansies soothe searing souls; seek them; take walks.
Offerings of friendship to another can distract depressive thoughts; open your heart.
Evoking visions of amusing moments, absorb melancholy; envision funny times.
Talk about something else, like tantalizing taste buds, instead of tumbling into misery.
Depression debilitates, destroys, discourages, and devours; design a pleasure plan.
Escape the misery; elevate merriment with music; sing and dance.
Serenity takes practice; so get started; find a serene spot in a garden; watch for sparkles.
Take time to pamper yourself; go to the spa or read a good book; relish positives.
Relax at home or sit in a mall and watch the world go by; DO NOT SHOP!
Overspending can lead to deeper depression; develop internal joys one thought at a time.
Yesterday is gone. So, forget about it. Today is a new day; make a fresh start.
Everything has a time and a season; trusting in God can help with anticipation anxiety.
Remember to grow and learn from every life experience both positive and negative.
After all, we are privileged to be on Earth where we can learn and grow, each day.
Never give up on yourself, no matter what; forgive yourself for mistakes; stay strong.
Determine to succeed at gladness; replace sad thoughts with happy ones…intentionally.
Demons can creep into one’s life; be sure to replace them with Heavenly hosts;
Enrich your soul with scripture study and silent prayers; find fellowship.
“Pretty is as pretty does,” was a common saying back in the day; see your prettiness.
Remember that raindrops refresh all living things; let some fall on your face.
Exuberantly laugh as the wetness drips onto your tongue; breathe deeply, slowly.
Sunshine follows the rain both in nature and in life. Remember, depression will pass.
Seek your own path; one that holds your happiness, stay on that path, strongly.
Individual self-worth is a way of thinking; pick positive worthy people for friends.
Overcome depression one day at a time, one thought at a time, effervescently.
Now is the time to embark on your happy future, feel better soon…lovingly.
