I lived most my life ~ trying to hide the sin that made me who I am 

worse part I’d do it all again ~ rather than being seen as this sham

My soul was killing my flaws

I look at my soul killing its flaws. I appreciate it and let it do so. But when I came back to earth to show them a perfect human, I realized my mistakes made me who I am. Without my flaws, I am just a perfect human—but not me.

My Mom

She is my hero
Without her I wouldn't be here
If it wasn't for her I don't know I would be
She made me who I am
She is always there no matter what kind of trouble I'm in
She will do anything for her kids
She helps me with my work
She teaches me right from wrong
She will die for her kids
She love me for me
She is my mom and I LOVE her

MAN
I am a man
brown skin as an African American,
and yet God made me who I am.
My blood is clear until it explodes in the air, 
I have two eyes a nose and a mouth,
I live physically as well as spiritually,
I praise and pray to the Lord continually.
I am a man

Un Conditional Love

if i didnt have you
what will i do?
if i didnt have you
where will i be?
if i didnt have you
would i see the world differently?

im liking what i see
im liking what i feel
dont want this to go

if i didnt have this i wouldnt know what to do
i just want to say thank you
for this unconditional love

my family and friends the people who made me who i am today

I Think I Might Make This Into a Song.. Idk..

tonight i realized.
in the midnight sky.
that i need you.
you are my light.
I sat alone in the dark for so long.
Now i broke away. 
but here i sit again.
Were you really the one who broke me free.
Who set me free?
The one i love.
Could it be.
You are the answer to everything i need
You made me who i am and will be.
Something more than a fantasy.
You became a part of me.

Farther

I think on the relief to remove my past,
Of failures and mistakes along the way.
   It seems things would heal up fast,
   Oh, the hurt, but what a cast,
That made me who I am today.

   Cherished are things seen; now I know,
To hit rock bottom stop the digging.
   Unfurled instead, their worth does show,
   All the lessons firm I stow;
To sail so far is all in the rigging.

Positive

if it makes you active 
then it is poisitive
no matter where i will be
i'll try to keep that in mind
if it makes me active
then i see no reason to quit
i've been through a lot of stress 
because of hangin with the wrong crowds
the drama they pulled back in the day
has made me who i am today
i try to stay positive 
activated by the best weed
that brings me closer to my talent

Differences

I wish I fit into your lives.
But we grew up so differently.
You tried,
To be there for me when we were kids
But I didn't know how to let you in.
I made myself appear strong,
So you wouldn't see me breaking.
It felt as though,
That is what you needed.
You will never understand,
The pain,
That has made me who I am.
And for that I am grateful,
But I know that means
We will never be close.

Premium Member In a Flash

Listen to poem:
Sixty years flashed by in one big blur
A life with scatterings of luck and good times
No, I certainly can’t complain ~
Obstacles and challenges made me who I am today

Could have tried harder but harbor no remorse
I figure I’ll be ready to face my Maker
But till then, I’ll strive to live at least a few more years ~
Long enough to compensate for wasted time along the way

Insignificant

If it is change I want to see in the world,
I better start with me.
I need to let go of my past
and set my soul free.

The struggles in my past,
have made me who I am today.
I’ve done things I’m not proud of,
I was lost and wandered astray.

Today becomes yesterday
and in a cycle it goes.
My ambition to become
something more grows and grows.

All I've ever wanted 
was something to live for.
I don’t want to feel 
insignificant anymore.

WALK ABOUT

I WALK AROUND WITH A BACKPACK FULL OF MEMORIES, DOZENS OF PICTURES, AND MOMENTS CAPTURED IN MY HEART AND MIND.

I WISH I COULD RETURN TO SOME MOMENTS, AND THERE ARE SOME MOMENTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EASE FROM EXISTENCE.

MY EXPERIENCES HAVE MADE ME WHO I AM, A UNIQUE, EMOTIONAL, LOVING, AND CARING MAN.

THE BEATINGS THAT I HAVE TAKEN FROM LIFE HAVE MADE ME A STRONGER, VIGILANT INDIVIDUAL.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW WHO I AM.....

If I Could

Author Dana Redricks
January 08, 2022

If I could turn back the hands of time I wouldn't change a thing. My past has made me who I am, and helped me be the person God Yahweh has created me to be. Through the gift of God Yahweh, I have been given liberty through the redemption of my sins, Yeshua, my Lord has given to me, and all humanity. The journey I have taken has brought me to my destination, and one day will lead me to my heavenly home.

The Man In Haste

i wonder when will all these nightmares come to an end
i breathe but i'm not happy
i just fight with everybody i come across
what i see in their eyes is mock and ridicule
i feel weak,not to speak to my dearest ones
what is it that made me who i am today?
is it my past or my ambitions for a bright future?
it's clear that my future is not promising 
it's because i turned down the only thing 
that many people think it would have made me 
the man they always wanted me to be

Change

Change

As I try to change myself
To be the best I can
Seems I always come up short
I just don’t understand
That doesn’t mean that I wont try
To change myself again
Because I know if I give up
I have no chance to win
I'll try each day to do my best
With hope I don’t give in
For the heart of all my pleasure
Is found within my sin
So I seek strength upon the cross
Trust in his greater plan
To lead me not to the temptation
That made me who I am

Just Because Memories

Life is a struggle when you feel so alone.
Missing your family and childhood home.
These days are so different than what it used to be.
I wish we were together again living happily.
As I look thru old pictures tears roll off my cheek.
Remembering times we've shared like just because memories.
Having you in my life has made me who I am.
Down in my roots
My future and my past.
We may be miles away 
I carry you in my heart
I love you more than you know
Even passed the shining stars.
