I try to speak with power in my voice,
not just utter empty words from a place
no one can relate; this blog is my great testimony
of success and failure, faith and fear; I’ve
shattered my own glass life of perfection
with these bold insights.
Month: November 2017
Upper Class Self-Esteem
Don’t chase after men,
maintain a higher level of class,
step outside of the normal range
of settled self-esteem, powerful enough
to reach the sky; no breakup can shatter
your happiness if it doesn’t work out,
you’re sturdy enough to take time to recover.
Words Carry Weight
Don’t throw your words like blocks
on other people’s foundations; don’t hurt
another person’s feelings as a detox
to quench your bout of rage, tune in to the way
people feel, try not to use their kindness as an
escape wheel to feel better about yourself.
Your pent up anger is not an invitation
to pound flesh, renew your mind elsewhere
weigh each word carefully; every glimpse
of your unstable mind leaves a residue; consider
each word as if they are your last, thank you!
Words can sting and hurt like crazy; words can
stink and make everything hazy once they
get spoken; you are on your own once they hit
the wall; they get automatically set in stone.
A lot is riding on how rough or soft you play
weigh each word carefully, every glimpse
of your unstable mind leaves a residue; consider
each word as if they are your last, thank you!
People often live as if the pain is still fresh
years after a fight, so live right, they rarely
remember to forgive, as they should
your words are weightier than all the sand
combined so live humbly and stay off
“no-man’s-land” with your small talks.
“Prayed Up”
Prayer is a required tool in life;
gotta’ stay “prayed up,”
careful not skip a beat;
this bridge of safety is that important.
Blanket of Warmth
Blessed with life, love, and family,
by God’s grace, I am here thankful
for these great blessings and more
good fortune than I can count.
I appreciate life more now
in a positive light, overlooking
the bad omens, and forging ahead
with good tithings. Prayer has been
a consistent blanket of warmth
on moody days when I didn’t mind disappearing.
Still a work in progress,
overall, I’m living a happier
and more fulfilled life, no longer
consumed by my rage and defiance
to keep reliving the past.
Presents
given with generosity
usually gifts for special occasions
amazing love from one’s heart
goodie
Lovers
a couple in love
expressing an unspeakable affection
incredible
passion
Flowers
brightens up dull rooms
puts a smile on people’s faces
calms their raging souls
scents of freshness
One More Day
Rest on the promises of God,
breathe one more day.
The Picture of Love
The bedridden older man lovingly
holds his wife’s pale hands; reluctantly,
he whispers in her ear the last goodbye,
she closes her eyes and flies away.
Spoiled Milk
Bad minded folks tell the most hurtful lies
and spread the biggest rumors; they’ll chew
you up and spit you out like spoiled milk
then flip you over and drain you dry
until you bleed sand.
Carved In Stone
He’s unhappy in every sense of the word;
his frown now carved in stone. Misery is his
new best friend; it accompanies him
wherever he goes. He tries to find happiness
in everything; back and forth, he roams the earth,
searching for a piece of something untouchable
to earn back some connection to contentment.
