Live a good life,
Hold your head high,
Fight the good fight
Things will get better with time
Always with time, hang in there
As you adopt a simpler lifestyle,
Purge your mind
Toss all the artificial flavors and toppings into the garbage
it’s dump

Time For Self
Relaxing at the end
Of the day is a must,
gotta make time for that recharge.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
I’m taking that special time for self.
It’s a must.
Effortless Day
I lit my entire existence on fire today,
cleansed my soul with a bit of laughter
It was an effortless day
I laughed and felt like a kid; it was fun,
Priceless and refreshing
I had to wipe that frown off my face today
I didn’t want to go another day
dragging the world on my shoulders
when it’s not even my cross to bear
Different Is Good
I’m great at being me
and you’re great at being you
That is what’s so special about me
and that is what’s so special about you.
There’s nothing wrong with me
and there’s nothing wrong with you.
I’m different in my own way
and so are you.
When You’re Around
I don’t like it when you’re around too much
I prefer when you stay away for a while
’cause you come around
when you please as if
You are doing me a fantastic favor
by being available when you feel like it.
Wiser
I’m thinking before responding,
Listening without interrupting
It’s more complicated than it looks
I’m more careful with my words.
Happy Slots
Reserve
happy slots
throughout the day
to smile and laugh and play,
you deserve to preserve
those precious moments
you can never get back.
Facing The Light
My thoughts are no longer
dark and haunted by my past
as it was so many haunting moons ago
I used to live in a dark room;
there was no light there,
yet I still felt safe enough
And accepted other people’s failures as my own
the ones who could help me didn’t know how,
and the ones who did didn’t try
My emotions fueled my existence
I would wear my heart on my sleeves
Too scared to break free
from other people’s opinions of me
I became their prisoner
The Road Less Traveled
The world draws me in
and spits me out like rotten food,
which I don’t mind at all, to be honest.
Less of the world and more of God is what I’m after
the road less traveled is more rewarding.
Pray
Pray for our children
Pray one for another.
Ask for courage, wisdom,
understanding, love, and peace.
Stay on your knees,
day and night.
Maintain Yourself
When you find yourself,
don’t ever lose sight of who you are
Once you’ve lost that access,
it is the hardest key to relocate.
The Mess of Bitterness
Your bitterness is a mess,
I’m stressed out
just thinking about how
twisted up things are between us.
I wish things were different,
but you are who you are,
and I am who I am
and I’m going to have to accept
that things are out of my control
for once, I need to trust God’s timing.
