I would rather know now

Call me a bit crazy
My heart is still weak
I think of the things done
And winder if they were for keep
Although we can't erase them
I would rather know now
The games we play in love
Faithfulness seems so far away
However each day I am missing
Makes me wonder who ate you kissing
Call me a bit crazy
However I'd rather know now

My Life

At times I feel like my life began at 21
I, of course, didn't know then what I know now.
The years from there have not been easy
However God knows my heart
If my reality is what it actually is
It was premeditated right from the start.
Sometimes I feel like so much has happened 
I, of course, cannot look back
The beauty of life is to keep persevering 
Understanding God does everything for your good 
And this I know is a real fact.

Mama said I need to wah my face

Mama said need to look in the mirror
Asked me what do I see
She said u need to get the cloth
Go wash your face
You living in fantasy
The world 
A real place
She said don't come out until you wash your hands
I said mama be east
I'm doing the best that I can
Lost my daddy
Lost my rock
Couldn't cry no tears
Life couldn't stop
All the people who planned and plotted
Lived this life now some are rotten
She said go slow before you hit that block
I said I can't because the money don't stop
Mama said I need to clean my face
I said mama I will when I fin8sh this race

Lost in my feelings

If I get lost in these words
Please forgive my style
Life has been bittersweet
Not knowing reality
For even the longest while
I struggle 
I pray
Still no peace in sight
Imagine being a good person
Ran through
Remnants of disaster
And thrown away money spent
Still yet I try

Sometimes it's just about me

I know it may sound funny
It's just how I feel
Somethings I have to do in life is just about me
I have found that every path taken
Some to endless points
Lead me to a road where I have to do what's meant for me
I may never really acquire true peace 
However that's just a state of mind
If I do what I have to do for me
I know I will find
A state of bliss 
Green pastures do await
I know I will one find tranquility 
It's just in every little step towards it
I just have to take

Chocolate like Me

When you look me in my eyes
Does my color raise a brown?
I believe it's maybe my style and sophistication 
Which makes you wonder how
I walk with my head held up
Pride embedded in my soul.
I am indeed a black girl to be reckon with
I am a black girl in control!

The oracle of forgiveness





Yes you hurt me
Did you do it intentionally 
Did you disregard my feelings 
Because it was only you
You wanted to please
Did it make you feel stronger
A matter of you are right
I was wrong
Did you try to prove a point
Only to realize with me genuinely 
I don't think 
You ever really belonged
I forgive you
I release you eleven times over to myself 
I will not carry bitterness or anger
Allowing myself to be begrudgingly put away up on 
On a shelf
I do forgive you

In a quiet place

I sit in a quiet space
Thoughts no longer plague
My mind
I am no longer searching
 for happiness
I am the peace you see and find
The things that once bothered me
No longer waste up my time
Im done jumping over hurdles
Im done living like i was blind
Heartache no longer an issue
I flush those tears
With no tissue
Life is not perfect
I know this without a doubt
God i know in due time
Will unveil to me
What life is truly all about.

To express the pain

There are some who live by lies
Others tell the truth
Some who will be followers
Others will lead in due time
I have endured pain but it made me stronger in life
I have leant to deal adequately with confrontation
I learned to not be confined
Some are intimidated by what they can not control
My father raised me with respect until the day he grew old
You can try to break me
I give you a fair shot
What you will not due is keep me down
My blessings 
You will not block
All you will do is burn out your own energy on a person
Who really does not care
When you take from one person 
Karma takes from you
Consider that fair 
I have learned to express the pain

In these walls

In these walls I feel your pain
I know I'm not crazy
I see what they are doing to u.
I'm not built like superwoman 
But on my life I swear
I'm going to rescue us both
Even if it means what I value so much
Never think nobody hear you
I do
Keep praying Jesus will walk us through it
