Things changed when I found my voice,
When I realized,
My voice as it is,
Is the voice they want to hear,
They want me to deliver my message,
They want to feel the truth
within my vibrations,
Which leads me to my next step,
Of conquering a discomfort,
Not a fear,
To speak in public,
And be the center of attention,
A place I’ve wanted to avoid,
So I’ve left a void within my progress,
Lying to myself,
Knowing that I can do more,
But telling myself what I’m doing is enough,
It’ll only get me less than what I want,
Because I’m cheating myself,
If I’m not giving my all to what I love,
And living my life to the fullest,
I found my voice,
Now it’s time for me to find my presence,
To meet and greet those like me,
Or to give those in need of my words,
A chance to hear them,
And a chance to meet me,
The message hits different,
When you see it comes from a real place,
From place of love,
With a smiling face!

My ego,
Wants to kick the pedestal out
from beneath your feet,
Lucky for you and me,
My ego isn’t what controls my choices,
I’ve matured beyond getting even,
Getting revenge, or proving a point,
That’s pointless,
It won’t heal the hurt,
Or change the truth,
Because the truth is,
I can’t blame you
Not for my choices,
Who you are, is who you are,
No matter who I want you to be,
The facts are that you’re not showing up,
Not in the way I need you,
Not in the way that says
I’m all you want,
So I’ll back up,
I won’t knock you down,
I’ma a man before anything else,
I’ll allow you to remove yourself,
No tears, no complaints, or
any explanations,
I won’t give you anymore of my time,
Not anymore of my energy,
So I can let go,
So I can move on,
So I can do better for me,
I don’t have to wonder,
I know there’s plenty more
fish in the sea,
Or just that one that better for me,
Not saying she’s be better than you,
Just that she’ll be better for me,
Which is all that matters.

I was thinking,
Trying to pinpoint what
it was about you,
That captured me,
I truly couldn’t,
Your eyes, lips, teeth,
and ears,
Your hair, your body,
your personality,
Your, etc etc etc,
See what I mean,
I just go on and on and on,
Which brought me to this
conclusion,
It’s just you,
All of you,
The good, the bad, and the beautiful,
You got me,
And I’m not afraid of letting you
know it,
It’s not like I can hide it,
Even if I wanted to.

I love the way you motivate me,
It’s like you pick up my whole world,
With just one finger,
Meaning it doesn’t take much,
For you to uplift my day,
It’s amazing,
Because you don’t have to do
anything special,
Just your presence,
Is like the sun,
You change my day,
You make most of the
darkness go away,
And you make it where no other
stars can be seen,
Just you,
The biggest star in my world,
The brightest star in my sky,
The warmest comfort within my life,
But what’s crazy,
Is that from your point of view,
I’m that same star to you,
That same light,
That same new day,
That same comforting warmth,
We make it easy for each other to see,
That we’re all we see,
All we want to see,
And all we need to see,
On this level,
As we walk with God,
Together!

I don’t mind being alone,
Sitting within the dark,
Within the light of the sun, my lamp,
the tv, or my phone,
Writing, reading, studying,
and learning,
Expressing my inner thoughts,
Allowing my heart to shine,
As bright as it can beam,
Which always brings out the
best of me,
I’m done complaining,
I’m beyond saying what I need,
Because I have all that I could ask for,
I’m too grateful,
Too hopeful,
Too deep into my beliefs,
To ever believe that I’m not wealthy,
To ever believe God isn’t with me,
I love what stares back at me,
My smile always reminds me,
I have a reason to smile,
Because I’m alive,
And able to share my love with life,
Experiencing the feeling,
Of living a life filled with love,
Is a walk with God,
Through the valley of dark!
I follow the Light Of Love,
As the Light within Life!

I’m never missing anything but you,
When you’re not present,
The fun is just a little different,
The moment just doesn’t feel the same,
Not saying every moment needs you,
But so many moments feel greater
because of you,
We connect on so many levels,
Levels of love that only you and I can reach,
That neither of us can teach the other,
But we can learn together,
We can shake all the negatives out,
Until we see the picture,
The strength of what we build,
Depends on us,
It’s the trust,
It’s the effort,
It’s the time invested,
And it’s consistency,
That comfort of knowing you’re safe,
Creates a different kind of peace,
Knowing you have no competition,
Creates a different type of smile,
We’re in this together,
So we share the same feelings,
For the same reason,
What we built,
Together,
Love is so beautiful.

Nothing can block my blessings,
But me,
I’m the only one that can
hinder my relationship with God,
Keep your median,
I don’t need your bridge,
approval or acceptance to
speak to The Most High,
Only my free will can doom me,
Which means what,
That same free will has the power
to make me unstoppable,
It’s like the difference between
a lamp being plugged in, or out,
Or anything else that needs a source
of energy to come alive,
We’re no different,
There’s levels to this life,
To this energy,
We don’t have to die to experience,
Heaven or Hell,
Right here on earth,
Energy never dies,
So what do you think is next,
Afterlife, means a life after,
Overstand that you’re still alive,
So what is true wealth,
It can’t be money,
Because money never leaves this realm,
Think deeper,
It’s ok to love yourself,
To know yourself internally,
On an eternal level,
Changes the way you view life,
Materials mean so much less,
Because you appreciate so much more,
Of what brings you closer to God,
You see that you’re not the greatest gift,
But that we are,
Having someone to share life with,
Is everything that gives life meaning,
It’s the difference between
Being within oblivion,
And living within the Kingdom!

Sometimes, you just pop up
in my head,
I can’t even blame the triggers,
Because there are none in
some cases,
You just invade my mental space,
You’re still playing with my heart strings,
Thinking your little thoughts
of me will go unnoticed,
But they don’t,
They haven’t, and they won’t,
I hear you,
No I feel you,
Then I see you,
Truthfully,
It could be me just thinking of you,
All alone within my head,
But just as that thought attempts
to claim its stake as logic,
You reach out, you make your
presence felt,
Which ends the mental debate,
Because now I know you’ve
been thinking of me,
Or rather that we’ve
been thinking of each other,
Heightening our beliefs,
Tightening our bond,
And solidifying our trust,
We want to be here,
Our energy was here building
this moment,
Long before our bodies reached it,
Building the moment for us
to experience,
For us to share,
For us to cherish,
Our energy was just waiting on us,
To embody the perfect moment,
And be filled with the beauty,
Of being within it!

I was doing what I’d never had to do,
Searching for words,
Trying to force myself to write,
But my heart wasn’t in it,
So my mind couldn’t pretend it,
And it made me feel uncomfortable,
I felt frightened,
I’d never struggled to find words,
Or came up empty when I
needed a topic,
I thought I’d lost my gift,
I was losing my grip on my confidence,
I again started to lose sleep,
Making me yearn for things I didn’t have,
Things I didn’t need,
And just as I was about to indulge
in my yesterday ways,
I closed my eyes and looked at myself,
Understanding was what I had,
But overstanding was what I needed,
I needed to take a step back,
From myself, So I could see,
And just a couple steps,
Gave me the angle I needed,
To give me sight of my purpose,
The root of why I believe,
It’s not about money,
It’s not about accolades,
It’s about being a light
in the dark,
A guide for the lost,
A smile for those frowning,
And company for those walking,
My purpose is to help others
find themselves,
So they too can establish a
real relationship with Lord God,
I can only talk to those that can listen,
Which again was the answer,
I couldn’t write,
Because I needed to be listening
We never stop learning!

I don’t know how you feel
when you wake up,
But for me,
I wake up so happy,
I wake up so grateful,
I can’t wait to get to work,
I can’t wait to start to write,
I can’t wait to share my love,
To turn on the light,
I need exactly what I have,
Just a way,
To show the world,
No matter what materials you have,
No matter how much money’s
in your account,
When you choose to be honest with life,
And live within your purpose,
It creates a different kind of fire,
It designs a much greater sense of joy,
To be granted a gift that makes
something out of nothing,
That makes you look at money as if it
means nothing,
Is a blessing,
It’s the blessing of knowing
The Most High personally,
To have that type of relationship
with Love and Life,
Puts you on a plane that makes
money obsolete,
It can’t reach this high,
This type of wealth has no
numbers attached,
Because it’s either
worthless or priceless,
Depending on your truth,
Depending on your choices,
I wake up smiling
because I’m happy,
I’m wake up ready
because I know where I’m going,
I wake up the same way I went to sleep,
Overflowing with love,
And grateful for the day,
Before and After I’ve lived
through it!
