Lajoya Heyward Poem
You are running for your life trying to stay alive
You don't know how long you'll be able to survive
Nervousness runs through your heart and mind
Your existence served its purpose but now you're out of time
I know you're probably thinking life is unfair
Because now your spirit is full of despair
The predator wants to rip and claw at your flesh
Leaving behind a graphic mess
His hunger has endless determination
You escaping will be tremendous frustration
His speed increases with every leap
You're the meal that'll put both of you to sleep
Sudden bravery overcomes you and you stop to attack
Until you notice a mysterious figure behind the predator's back;
What is that creature that walks on two
It doesn't resemble the predator or you
I'm at the top of the food chain with unfathomable dominion;
This is a proven fact not a pompous opinion
Hunting the predator that hunts the prey
That's double the food for the day
The predator notices my appearance
He knows I will be a inconvenient interference
Worried for his life he now runs away
Now the predator has become the prey
Mr. Predator never believe that you're superior and there's nothing to fear
I am your oppressor your inferior here!

Lajoya Heyward Poem
People say forgive and forget
They say live life without regrets;
I say that's easier said than done
Because vengeance is very fun;
Just forget the pain that's been done unto me
Cause you didn't experience my misery;
If forgiveness makes you strong than I guess I'll always be weak
Because my heart loves payback when awaken that's what she seeks;
What you reap is what you sow
Should I hold in the pain and anger or should I let it show?
Vengeance I love you, but you don't love me
I give you power through my animosity;
I want him to suffer like he made me it's only fair
You can beg me for forgiveness and I still wouldn't care;
Treat others how you want to be treated that's what I was taught
I don't like treating others badly yet that's what you brought;
Vengeance might become my fate
Hopefully I change before it's too late;
Forgiveness is an amazing level of spiritual maturity
I know somewhere inside me want that purity;
It's not over I haven't buried the past
There's no telling how long these feelings will last.

Lajoya Heyward Poem
The bars of my cell are icy cold
I'll never see freedom is what I'm told
My destiny is an outsider looking in
Whenever I see her, she begins to grin
Reminding me she's waiting on my release
And my inner potential to be unleash
Time is passing by and I'm still in this cage
My body is beginning to age
One thought lead me into anxiety
Causing me to have no decent propriety
I'm determine to break the chains of my mind
So my thoughts can properly unwind
I'm my biggest critic who deciphers my uprise or downfall
And my blessings are on the other side of this wall
I clutch my fists in the rage of my mental captivity
The sting in my hand came from a key
It is the key to happiness and success
I unlock my chains and GOD will handle the rest
Deception from my own mind
Caused me to waste tremendous time
Then reality hit me so fast
I was only prisoner because I didn't bury the past
Always look forward never behind
Or else you'll find yourself lost in time.
