Crying into a pillow case Heart broken from a severe case Of “why can’t things just go my way” Near drowning from the tears Confronted by the kinds of fears That chase hopes and dreams away On the surface it appears That these are tears of sadness But that perception isn’t reality These are tears of passion She knows failure is a minor setback So it fuels her motivation To get back to dream chasing So she picks herself up Dries her tears and never looks back She refuses to breathe any doubt air And needs no pats on the back She is brave, strong and determined to Make her reality & dreams the same thing

Crying
We all have a choice It’s what we choose That determines our path So do so carefully Because it easy to lose Our way When we spend more time Focused on what we want Then appreciating what we have

Choice
You are stronger then you realize You can carry your weight across a room You can be written or verbalized Your message is served to be consumed And fill the minds and hearts of those Who believe in the same things you do You are at your best when progressive And spreading positivity and the truth You don’t require a podium When sharing how things effect you You can be praised or scrutinized The moment that you choose To stand for for what you’ve realized Are your beliefs and points of view YOU ARE A VOICE And a unstoppable force when used To help...to heal...to love

Marvin Gaye sang it ” Mercy Mercy Me” But I don’t want things to go back To the way they use to be I’m saddened by poverty I’m thirsty for unity I feel we need more community Purposeful change is needed Merciful motivation when seeded With compassion from you and me Can move all the obstacles Blocking the sun from shining on WE  I long for Marvin’s dream of “Love And Happiness” To become a reality I wish we were all color blind And our brains didn’t undermine What our heart was meant to be Which is used to love one another Regardless of *** religion or nationality

Purposeful Change
You cost nothing but your priceless You are the kryptonite to our devices The very act of you is righteous If only you were a common thread That wove all of mankind together So we could help heal each other We have never been more divided But you can bring about unity instead YOU ARE KINDNESS And your gesture Can stop turmoil and heartbreak Before it spreads

Kindness
I didn’t come from much I didn’t grow up with material things But I was given unconditional love And unwavering support of my dreams And that heart fueled belief in me Lifted my self esteem And kept my hopes forever hovering And that’s all the motivation needed To spread my wings And chase those dreams With a full head of steam I am forever grateful For my loved ones existing Because you can’t put a price On those types of offerings

Unconditional Love
Sometime the best nights sleep comes When you spend the day being Humble Selfless Helpful Sympathetic

Being...
The rain isn’t just for you The sun doesn’t belong to me We all grow from the same root Planted in the soil beneath our feet Though our flower may look different It requires the same life necessities In order to flourish, live and thrive No matter how different we try to be Separation and division Are man made realties Sometime we just need to close our eyes To blind us from these casualties And prevent our heart from hardening From the perception casted by falsities Because the human truth is We will all struggle to prosper in some way If we don’t rally around community

You creep in and out You often create doubt Your symptom are often masked But rear their ugly head unasked You cultivate over time Espionage on the mind A Trojan horse to success The rough edges of a otherwise fine line You are present with no presence Not easy to find People often don’t know they have it You are a bad habit A savage for mankind

Bad Habit
Satisfaction is an attraction We romanticize in our mind It’s feeling that is fleeting So we chase it all the time It’s hard to pin point Because the target moves It’s often judge upon by our mood It isn’t something we can choose Success or failure is such a fine line Satisfaction is a destination Our mind natural drifts towards It is the revelation The heart often thirsts for It serves to bring out feelings together And it can last a moment or forever It you are lucky enough to feel it Make sure to stop and adore
