My Story

My feelings use to be bottled in 
so I didn't know where to begin.
I picked up a pen and let my story begin.

Do I write because I'm right
or for others delight .

Do I write out of fright
or do I write because there is enough light.
If my beats aren't tight
Lord let my words still take flight.

I'm not a fighter I'm a writer. 
That's why I will only fight you on paper 
where it's much safer.
I will always fight for what I believe in.

So to all my haters,complainers, 
intimidators,and all debaters. 
This will never stop me 
because God's spirit is within me. 

May the words I now utter
melt hearts like butter.
I don't know where this might go,
but I'll keep writing 
and watch it grow.

Painful Words

The words I hold back,
leaves painful bite marks
making my tongue bleed,
leaving my mouth full of blood.

With the pain being so unbearable,
I realize speaking my mind is less painful.

 So I will no longer bite my tongue
I will say whatever's on my my mind 
and let my words flow,
because I'm not here to be a people pleaser
and I'm defiantly not starting today.

The Visible Ghost

Even with your eyes closed
I know you can still see me.
So if you were to listen real close, 
I know you can still feel 
and hear my heart beating.

You can listen with your heart
or even with your ears. 
Just know that my words
can calm all your fears, 
and dry up every tear.

 If you try telling your mind 
to push my words away. 
Well you can't shut up my words, 
but my words will always have something to say .

Living Among Walking Statues

There are certain people
 who appear to be normal on the outside 
like the have it all together.
To me, these people remind me of walking statues,
that walk around wearing these big genuine 
ridiculous phony smiles. 

Once you go beneath the surface,
 its a whole different world,
where silence is mostly spoken.

 And when you're in their presence 
which,you'll never know when,
or,where that will be. 
So you must always stay on guard 
because,they're very observant,
and,very crafty in choosing their words wisely,
in order not to be detected.

And whatever you say,
 or do,might come back 
and haunt you.
But,this'll all depend 
on how conduct yourself.

At the same time 
while you're desperately walk on eggshells 
trying not to slip up. 
Insanity slowly begins its journey 
into your mind,
torturing you with every passing second,
causing extreme sweating and 
 making your heart beat out of control.

And as long as you let them see your weakness,
they will continue to torture you with their fakness .

We Were Made For Us

Before I met you,
my heart already knew you.

But the moment our eyes met,
I knew right then
we were born for each other,
and that everyday with you,
makes another piece of my dream come true.

 So I'm no longer breathing to live,
 but living to breathe.

A Writers Prayer

Lord God thank you 

for showing us the true meaning of love. 

And loving us

despite our faults,

 is unconditional love.

Help us to be more like You, 

and put our differences aside. 

So we can choose love over hate. 

 I want to thank you Lord 

for turning my doubts

 into reality. 

I would've never thought 

I would be writing,

and  I'm sorry for not trusting you. 

Thank you God for speaking through my pen

 and into people's hearts.

Thank you for the bloggers

 that follow my blogs,

and for those who stumble across it. 

May the words that speak through my pen,

continue to reach the masses.

All colors bleed red
So stop the hate.

Being Somebody's Nobody

You ask me why don't I care. 
What gave it away,
was it because I chose not
 to acknowledging your rudeness 
or lack of conscious.

So guess what, 
if you don't care, 
then what makes you think I care. 

And all those times 
you've pushed me,
made feel less than human 
and walked all over me,
like yesterday's 
and today's trash.

You've even tried changing my name 
to fit your ridiculous agenda. 
 How crazy is that. 
So Im letting you know today!
I'm no longer your stepping stone.

True Colors

Enough is now enough,
so I will rip down 
the pictures you have of me,
that are painted with hate and anger.

Now its my turn to paint!!!
and trust me,
I will use all your bitterness 
and anger as my paint,
to expose your true colors .

The Room Without Sound

When you walk into this room
people are clapping without making a sound 
and their heads facing the ground .

The peoples words our loud and without sound. 
It's as if hate has their mouths bound. 
Even though their looking at you,
they're doing this
without facing you.

This is absolutely rude,crude,
and they make you feel so displaced,
they won't even show you a drop of grace
because of your race, 
and the skin on your face. 

It doesn't matter what good you do,
they'll always find  fault
in anything and everything that you do.
So you desperately try to prove,
what's really true about you.
