I love that feeling,
This feeling,
When I get the urge to just want to
write,
I’ve done it all my life,
The only difference,
Is now I write with purpose,
I write with direction,
I’m giving the world my inner reflection,
My heart’s perception,
Without condemning anyone for being
who they are,
My maturity within my purpose has
brought my way of thinking so far,
I’m only here to be who I’m supposed to be,
Who you see,
The forever evolving me,
Man I love my life,
And it’s not because of what I have,
It’s because of the who’s that I have,
My journey, my path,
And my relationship with who leads me,
It’s what you can’t see,
It’s what’s going on inside my temple,
Something so simple,
Yet so hard to find in others,
And it’s an appreciation for the moment,
The gratitude of having love in your life,
Knowing that those relationships are what
allows you to feel God,
To know God,
The Love and Life that’s all around us,
Self love isn’t me just loving me,
It’s me loving us as myself,
Because God is within us,
Remember to love God first!!!

I get it,
Now I can actually see it,
Not with my eyes,
But with my understanding,
If I don’t let go,
I’ll never be free,
Because you’ll continue draining me,
To empower yourself,
You’ll continue evolving into
who I don’t know,
Who I have to accept that you’re becoming,
To protect myself,
God please give me the strength,
Lord hear my plea,
Remove her from my heart,
Help me,
I know you can’t intervene,
I know, it’s up to me,
My choices are my hands,
It’s up to me,
To let go,
To set myself free!

At my lowest,
Within my Hell,
You set the fire,
You left me to burn,
You love seeing me in pain,
And I love showing you,
You can’t break me,
You can’t destroy my belief in love,
But what you can do,
Is exactly what you’ve done,
And maybe that’s why I care,
Well at least part of the why,
I won’t lie,
Yes, I love you,
And it’s that love that I fight to defend,
It’s that love that’s between us,
and within me that I cherish,
But since you don’t know what
love truly is,
I’m like a star falling into a black hole,
Investing energy into something
that only takes,
Until there’s nothing left,
At least that’s what they think,
But there’s another side,
On the other side of wherever,
As many pieces or as one that’s again whole,
I’ll stand for what I believe in,
All by myself,
I’ll always be the proof,
Love always wins,
And I’ll prove it,
With or without you.

What a blessing,
What a life,
Has it been easy,
No, but that’s exactly what’s
always been needed,
When you’re hard headed,
You’re asking for anything
but the easy route,
What else can you expect,
When listening is neglected,
When paying attention seemed to
be too much for you to afford,
Life’s lessons, will most certainly
show you the difference,
It’ll humble you,
It’ll break you,
If you continue neglecting what you’re
meant to learn,
Why throw away what you’ve earned,
If you attention you’re granted understanding,
So you’ll know the difference,
And never again will you take
a lesson for granted,
You’ll always show gratitude within your actions,
By applying what you’ve learned,
and teaching without even trying,
God I love you,
I am only a vessel,
And as a man,
I gratefully make the choice to stand,
For love, for forgiveness, for family, for truth,
I am the proof,
And will continue to be,
Thank you Lord God,
For teaching me,
For forgiving me,
And loving me unconditionally,
As long as I love the world,
With that same energy,
You get what you give,
And you can only give,
What you’re filled with,
Truthfully!

You know what,
Maybe I did press to hard,
But then again,
That amount of pressure wouldn’t
have been needed,
If you would’ve just stepped up,
And played your part,
So no, I won’t blame myself for
you not having the courage,
To just say you don’t want me,
My optimism, my resilience, my willingness
to believe in you,
Is all because of my belief in love,
It’s all because of my confidence within me,
My ego isn’t in control,
But it isn’t imprisoned either,
It’s free, it’s matured, it’s me,
Far beyond the thoughts of what you
can do for me,
I’m upon the level of thinking what we can
do for each other,
I’m not trying to be your brother, father,
or atm,
I can only be who I am, me,
My intentions keep me free,
Because love is what’s within me,
So love, is what comes out of me,
Love is what keeps me safe,
Love,
I won’t let them belittle your worth,
I won’t let them put a price on what
money can’t afford,
I’m here,
As the embodiment of the belief,
Love will always win,
I am what I believe!!!!

I thought we’d make it,
I thought we’d win,
And we just might,
No, we will,
It just won’t be together,
It just won’t be as a we,
So for me,
The only one I can speak for,
I forgive you,
I forgive me,
So I can let go,
Of what truly never existed,
So I can hold on,
To what always did, and does,
Love,
My love,
For you, for myself,
For life in general,
I’ll never lose my grip on God’s hand!!

Life isn’t about being perfect,
It’s about being yourself,
And experiencing your life,
And enjoying the experience!

I love being this energy,
This positive vibe,
That lifts the corners of the lips
of those that listen,
I love speaking words that resonate,
And touches the hearts of
those that pay attention,
I want them to know,
I believe in them,
Because I believe in myself,
I want them to witness my struggles,
I want them to see my climb,
And feel my success within themselves,
So that they believe they can do it,
So they know they only can,
If they try,
I’ll never give up,
So they’ll never give up,
I want you all to reach it,
Whatever it, maybe,
Whatever it is you give your all to,
It’ll be worth it,
No matter if it makes money or not,
Fighting for what you believe in,
Relentlessly, then achieving it,
Creates an inner satisfaction
money could never buy,
Something giving won’t ever create,
And only those of us that know love,
Could ever understand,
Passion, determination, courage, resilience,
Will!!!!

When you’re having a tough day,
Smile,
Be the positive energy that
controls your day,
It’s your world,
It’s your life,
And you’re the only one with
control over you,
Happiness is a choice,
That your consistent efforts
will create!

It’s not something I ran from,
It’s something I embraced,
Why would I deny my truth,
I am who I am,
Who I was is who I was,
That doesn’t mean I have to stay the same,
It means I’ve learned something,
Enough to understand the greatest
truth of life,
That it’s forever changing,
Maybe there isn’t anything new under the sun,
But just because the sun’s seen it,
Doesn’t mean we have ever,
Sometimes not speaking,
And listening is what’s clever,
Learn, grow, elevate,
Open your heart so that it can expand your mind,
Stop believing you have to stay a certain way,
Because you’ve been that way so long,
Over-stand what you’re saying,
If you’re saying you’ve been like this since
you were a child,
Because if you’re still thinking like you were then,
It means you’ve neglected change,
And mostly likely denied maturity,
Which means what,
You’re still that kid,
You’re defeating yourself,
Killing your own growth,
You shouldn’t see the world as you did
when you were child,
Because you’re an adult,
So you should see the world from the eyes
of an adult,
Realize that now you no longer are looking up,
As a child would have to,
Now, you’re eye to eye with truth,
But you have to choose,
To understand you!
