A Lake of Pain

A lake filled with joy but surrounded by pain
caught in a unorganized just over broke we
just watched each other go down the rabbit hole
 
  We put in overtime and the freedom was to much so
our minds were up for grabs every bottle we counted 
as we down it and are induvial pain slipped away at 
least until the start of a new day 

  The lake filled with bottles the pain became hard to
sallow the bottles started to float to the top the habit 
had to stop I got a new job and changed a lot and pulled
my mind out of that compromising spot

A Damaged World

Can you complain if you don't stand up and become apart of the change
I am not happy with the state of the world or life I don't have time to fight alright 
   I must pay rent and bills are due and my son needs me to get him threw but what will i get him to if there's no change a doomed world destine to burn in flames
   I don't want that I want to hand him a world were there's a fair chance for every boy and girl and i need to show dreams can be reached so i must get up and stand on my feet and chase down my dreams for him and me to show him what the world can be

Covid Depression

Get out and goi can’t take this no more. Depression has me at odds. We’re living in times that are halted no moves forward don’t step backwards into memories of lost freedom.
   Covid has had us trapped for a couple of seasons. Get out even if you don’t have depression this could bring it about loss all around and changes that are out of our control.
    Get out go to a park or throw around a ball out in the sun. Get out start a new goal put forth work to turn your house into a home. Get out and roam don’t let covid depression take a hold.

Eager To Be Grown

Eager to be grown but the reality of it was unknown 
To me in my mind just wanting to be free not knowing that being grown is so cut throat stand up go for it and don’t choke and if you don’t go for what you seek you could lose everything you need and every adult gain comes at a cost

       Unknown is the cost of be an adult to a child that just wants freedom and the right to chose not knowing what’s at stake there is also much to gain enjoy your childhood and don’t rush it away

Unknown Emotional State

Emotions are real so please think before you speak
Someone else’s words you heard to a person and 
You don’t if they are on the brink of a breakdown
    Or if their loved ones are around to help their decisions 
Be sound people tend to believe unfounded words
From ones that don’t have the nerve to accept 
Their selves
     Not knowing someone’s current state and that they might
Not be able to deal with that hate please don’t help put someone 
In that place emotions are real

Judgements of My Pen

It’s for me and some for you my poetry helps to get me threw But understand your looks and judgements can never stop what I do A lifetime of pain poured threw a pen
God has place my purpose in front of me indebted to your hate I plan to be Sit back and watch your energy and my talent redefine me and shape my work into what it is meant to be

Year of Thanks

Thanks should be something given all year not just one day in November when friends and family are near thanks for daily health and god given wealth like friends and family and opportunities for change 
   thanks for the faith and strength to stick to who I am meant to be and thanks for not letting failures of this year redefine me
   Motives for thanks are different from person to person the voice of the crowd is louder then one Thanksgiving is the day were the ultimate thanks is done

You Shouldve Talk To Me

Hatred is given respect is gained
I will never trust you the same 
The bond I gave to you was given to me

Because I would have never betrayed you
I was never given the chance to explain what took place
You just gave me a dark face as though you wanted
To take my soul and break it rather then talk out
The unexplained pain you chose to speak dirt on 
My name 

Knowing we would end up one day in a enclosed space because of certain ties we can’t erase you should 
Have spoke with o me it would have turned out different 
I had respect for you know hatred has risen

Change

Change I am sick of your name
You have been in my life for way to long
As soon as everything is right you turn it wrong 
Then their is the flip side of you that brought me more 
Joy than I thought I could ever go threw
You brought me my son my husband and kept
My family safe as soon as I enjoy you give way
And bring the type of change my heart can’t take
But what can I do change I seem to never be able to break
Up with you

Doubt

You have doubt in my ability but please understand my capability is further than your reach. your focus of worry of a task not being completed by me is wasteful of your time.

 Your doubt is no focus of mine I have to many people that put an investment in me i am determined for it to manifest and them to see me succeed.

  Whether work or my paths that are unknown i am to big to fail because i will always try sit back and watch you will understand in do time.
