God, Dreams, My Feelings

I was 15 when I first looked up to the heavens.
My mind was in a dazed as I looked up into the sky.
I thought about taking a trip to the moon in my mind.

Until my Holy Spirit came and changed my mood,
I was feeling mellow now but I was still caught up in my dreams.

So I closed my eyes and then my soul and mind was traveling back
into the heavens where the Lord’s power kept my soul with him.
And there he took my empty body or grounded me and there I saw
my dreams lay before me.

When I saw my future dreams lay before me, I prayed to God and eventually
this bird came back to my soul, and helped me dream about a new and improved dreams.

I kneeled down and started to pray to my Lord about the choices that I will make
When leaving this nasty place. My prayers seemed good and honest but I had a weird
feeling that with the sins I have made, it would be best to pray to myself.
And keep it hidden, to confide in no one, absolutely no one.

While praying and dreaming, I learned to have the last laugh and push pass it, and to be
myself, and have an open mind about what I dream.

“Dear God. Thank you for helping me to push pass my bad sins like you said I will not look
back, I will ask for forgiveness and move on.”

I was 15 when I first looked up to the heavens.
My mind was dazed into the skies, I thought about taking a trip to the moon with God.

I Am

I am the loved one
 Spreader of happiness
Lover of God

I am the light of the day
I am a child of Gods

I am preached upon in churches
Preached upon in the streets

I am man
I am young and wise
I am TERRANCE JONES

I am the only boy
I am blessed
I am God

I am happy
I am a family man

I am the blood from my mom’s wound
I am living
I am Terrance Jones
Because of you
Tayna Lindsey!!

Self-Portrait

I told you this so many times. 
Before but I guess I haven’t told you enough.

Love is not me being who you want me to be. 
Your definition of love is you wanting me to follow the same path as your,
me being in the system and doing things that gangsters do.

	Can’t you see?
	Do you listen?

I can’t see my life behind bars or on drug corners like you.
I wish you cared about my life.
I wish you cared about what matters to me.

But you don’t care.

So I can’t stress,
I just have to move on and do my best.

Either way Dad I will pull myself free from your mind, body, and soul.
It’s come to that point you can’t tell me who to be or how to live.

This is my self-portrait.

So I will be who I want to be.

If

If 
I stood on one leg and
Told you the ABC’s backwards
Would you laugh out loud at me?

If
I planted dead roses in your garden
Would you laugh then?

If
I went skinny dipping in the lake
Would you laugh then?

If
I wore bo-bo’s that cost a dollar at the dollar store
Would you laugh then?

If
I needed bifocals
Would you laugh?

If
I liked and wore the color pink
Would you laugh?

I just wonder
Would you laugh at me?

My God

My God is the God of all Gods
My God is the One who wakes me every day
I rise and praise My God

My God is the God of all Gods
My God is the God who helps my family and me
Through all the pain and rough times

My God is the God of all Gods
My God brought me into the world
I am his angel

My God is the God of all Gods
My God sewed the patch on my heart

My God
My Holy God
Will never leave me
‘Til death do us part

My God is the God of all Gods
My God
My Lord
My Savior
My God is the God of all Gods

Image Part 2

Those up in the sky that I love
We will meet in the 2-way mirror
Our images will touch one another’s soul
For 7 split seconds
If you are ready or not
I will grasp your soul and hold on tight
I will feel the pain that you felt before God
Took you out of my life
As we look through this mirror
Feel and taste the salty tears roll down our cheeks
I will pray for the pain that is deep within
This mirror
Then I will tell you
It sucks to be me
Our 7 seconds is up
So I will break this mirror and feel another source of pain
Our souls will touch for 7 split seconds
7 is the only lucky number to enter my Lord’s Heaven
