Jesus loves me.
Enough to know the number of hairs on my head
To know my good and bad
So why should I accept anything less than that

Jesus loves me.
Enough to know my love languages
To know when I'm sad and will need a good laugh
So why should I accept anything less than that

Jesus loves me.
Enough to tell me when I'm wrong
To discipline me and help me grow strong
So why should I accept anything less than that

Jesus loves me.
Enough to hold my hand
To listen and speak to me to see what's going on
So why should I accept anything less than that

Jesus love me.
Enough to carry my burdens
To wash away my sins and renew my mind
So why should I accept anything less than that

A virus helped me to stick to my self-care
I like my skin routine and combing my hair
Reading books of poetry is my new love affair

Pains of the past but I shall not be in despair
My God loves me who am I to fear
Breath of fresh air and aromas of home cooked meals

Geez, How I took advantage of the breeze
Is this depression? My mind is starting to run a mock
I'm going to keep busy to get out of this yuck.

May I no longer confuse stillness as lack of progression
May I enjoy this time of rest knowing Jah Bless
May I use all the tools the Lord has given me to move forward
May it be instilled within that God is with me all along

God told the storm
To let it rain
He equipped me with an umbrella and I’m okay

Commanding,  bring the puddles
Stomp your feet
Learn to dance in the rain until it shines again

God told storm
To make me brave
How I’ll follow the examples of the rain.

To shed fearless…all my pain
So I got down on my knees and began praise

God told the storm
To cover me
Hiding me from all my enemies
I can’t believe it! I complained about the rain
for it was my Lord providing refuge that I prayed…

God told the storm
To clear my path
So I may move on from the past

He’ll help me grow strong
Knowing he’s my peace
I can count on Jesus constantly
May you find peace in this poem/song.

If you’re so bored, why don’t you explore?
It’s cold outside which I can’t ignore

If you’re so bored, why don’t you pick up a book?
But nothing excites me or has me hooked

If you’re so bored, why don’t you sing a song?
My hearts yearns for a rhythm that can’t be sung

If you’re so bored, why not draw it down?
My brain is tired from overthinking and I can’t seem to draw it out...

If you’re so bored, why not call a friend?
Everyone is busy working or networking

If you’re so bored, why don’t watch a movie?
It doesn’t feed me and again, nothing is exciting

If you’re so bored, what can you possible do?
I sat here and wrote this poem for me and you.

I yearn for my poems to love me
The words hold so much truth
An emotional intelligence
That will surpass my youth

No shame for feeling
Just moments of bliss
Is this truly my wish?
Will they take me in

Each of them are called by a different name
Hold on to variety of sentiments
Will they all hold me accountable
Lord, knows I don't want the blame

Maybe I'll start to write poems as gentle as my touch
May the kindness manifest in all my writings
So I can finally lean on them and use it as a crutch

Be true
Don't be no fool
Only love you
