I’m thinking about many things; family is at
the top of the list; outside of my immediate
family, there are only a handful of people
I can call on for help; they say
it takes a village to raise a child.

I’m always on the edge of my seat
fighting sleep, living at a disadvantage
damaging my body, deprived
my mental health suffers, frequently on the go
busy mind, but I’m not running solo.

The more money you have, the more
opportunities you have presented to you
on a platter. The less you have, the more
others look down on you for not being born
with a silver spoon in your mouth
—it’s an equal-opportunity world.

I’ve never enjoyed gossiping; there’s something
about this form of entertainment
that doesn’t feel right; well, it’s just plain wrong
to paint another person in a negative light.

There is but one God,
none above, beside or below Him;
The Bible says God was present
before the world began.

There are no stupid people—I don’t believe
in that notion; honestly, people’s mentalities are
weak, their thoughts are used as ammunition
against them, the devil is after their minds,
and that’s where they fall short, unconsciously
giving him access. Hence, they underperform
and make poor decisions based on
their circumstances and experiences;
they respond to life’s curveballs confused.

Call me “crazy,” but not before you walk a mile
in my shoes, take a survey and see
what made me draw my conclusions,
spitting knowledge, you may never
understand my brand of communication.

Consumed with the rage
shooting from my tongue and the rage
burning deep within my heart, I felt
my life slipping away, and I didn’t know how
to stop the hate
running through my veins like hot poison
dripping from every crevice of my body.

I am rebuilding my mind; blinded by
the devil intertwined in his lies; he’s no fool
defined by his deception confined to his
limiting beliefs; I’ve been carrying out his cruel
assignments, there’s been a huge disconnection
game over, the party’s over
I am committed to consistent positive thinking.
