Finding My Worth in Myself
"You have a victim mentality," they say.
"You don't like the hard work," they say.
"You're just making excuses."
No, I don't let toxic people tell me who I am anymore. It's tempting to think they are right, but I think there's evidence pretty damning against them.
If I had a victim mentality, would I have not looked at the bright side when Hurricane Beryl took out the power? Looked at the bright side and said this gives me an opportunity to clean?

My Thought For Today: Turing Pain into Promise
No matter how difficult life has been I look at the trials I’ve had as lessons. Not just the typical I won’t do that anymore, I know what to look out for now, I won’t let that happen to me anymore type of lessons, but the types of lessons I use as stepping stones, how I will achieve my goal of being the best version of me.
I don’t want to be defined by what’s happened to me, by my bad decisions or indecision, my medical problems, how I chose to react to situations and others, my prior patterns, the rage I had, or the promises I made that I couldn’t follow through with because I...

Processing
As I have previously written, my mother growing up was hard to live with, and that's putting it nicely. I never felt good enough, but now, she's back...the mother that I had up until I was about five, before she turned into a hard women.
As she lay there curled up on the sofa, her ice water with the straw clanking against the metal thermos sides as she stirred the half melted chunks around it's perimeter, all got quiet as she out of no where says, Sis...I need to tell you a few things.
As the lump in my throat seemed as if it was starting to block my airway, I mumbled ok, but wasn't...

Bien venido
God’s children
Bien venido
To a beautiful day
Let’s not waste that day
By sleep in
If we sleep in we will
Not sleep at night
So we must enjoy this day
That our father gave to us
Here on earth
yes we are having the Summer
Here on earth
that our father create for us
With his holy hands
Also We took a look in the sky
And there was no sign of rain
We don’t like the rain at all
Because when it is
There is lighting and thunder
The noise of lightning and thunder
Wake us up when we are sleeping during...

The odyssey of self
In the depths of despair, I bled for the masses
A martyr's cry, echoing through the passages
I gave and gave, until my veins ran dry
But in the end, I realized, I had to ask myself why
The world didn't stop, it just kept spinning round
Leaving me in the dust, with a worn-out crown
I thought I'd find solace, in the love I'd share
But it was all a lie, a facade, a snare
I tried to find my place, in the grand design
But it seemed the more I gave, the more I'd decline
My heart was pure, my intentions true
But the world didn't...

My Worth
My worth is merely on a post it note
that says, "You are amazing."
My worth to others,
that is.
My worth in myself is
even higher than that,
I feel.
But my worth to others
is like
a birthday card,
collected in dust
eating away in my closet,
that I need to throw away.
It means nothing.
And it is nothing.
I'm supposed to feel anger or sadness or anything at all.
But I feel exhaustion.
Exhaustion of a life
where I don't know how I ended up here.
Paling through a dream ...

Forgiveness!
By Stanley Collymore
Forgiveness in itself is a thoroughly
commendable quality, but quite
indisputably and absolutely
understandably doesn't come that easily to
many people. And evidently expectedly so!
Specifically when most unwarrantedly, the
pain, utter embarrassment, and obviously
crucially also, the clearly debilitating, and
its actually accompanying and invariably
vastly, dispiriting humiliation that sprung
from what was quite callously; spitefully,
malevolently, and literally hurtfully done;
predictably...

Momma
Momma Had it rough
when I was growing up
four kids and a habit
When things were bad
She always had to have it
But Jesus was her lord and savior
so she made it to heaven
that I know for sure
If God
Can save an angel
with a broken wing
Then i know
there's still Hope
For a sinner
like me..
After all my sins,
the devil still
aint found a way to win.
If there's a reason
I made it through
all my trauma..
It was because
of one special...

Dare Not Raise My Sight And Ask How And Why
It is my time one other lesson to learn
And see through pain truths that me burn
In life nothing for granted is to gain
To wage wars against kismet is vain
Or think to a life through me I could belong
And own the right to show right from wrong
One other lesson despite what I am of age
To reconsider what I feel and think is sage
So humble to God that I dare not lament and whine
I just have to bow and ask not to be a soul of no spine
Rather able to endure what makes a backbone bend
Not a human of fake strength trying to...

Time Wasted
I dodged a bullet
Even though it hurts
I know it’s gon’ get worse
Slipped so low
You got to know your worth
No matter where you go
Feel so lonely and cold
I had to open up my heart, just for it to grow
Lost my uncle when I was eight
I ain’t been the same since
Heart so cold, I don’t know where to begin
I had to look within, never losing my passion again
Pain struck deep, made me the person I am
Said we’re better off as friends
But I can’t do that again
I respect you
I don’t hate you
But my heart has to...

Life Moves On
Please,
It’s gon’ take more to check me
I am her and she is me
Please come correct when speaking on me
His love comes in three
Holy Trinity
Protect my energy
Can’t see you as my enemy
It’s gon’ take more to get rid of me
Our love is history
Know you think of me
When she’s not in the vicinity
Obsessed with my masculinity and my femininity
Using me for publicity
I don’t understand the negativity
But I promise to be honest
You can save the toxicity
No sympathy for infinity and beyond
It’s...

Recapturing
Christmas has passed,
and the new year approaches.
I encroach upon you
with a belated text.
The pretext is the weather
to remind you
of everything we have been through.
The snow was our serenity.
Snowflakes fall, and I
want you to know that I walk
for blocks in the symphony
of the busy streets alone.
I have a bittersweet
but upbeat feeling reading your reply.
You have established roots
where it does not snow.
Still, I hope the fruits of your labor
are savored and receive water from the oasis.
