We always wonder why God allows us to go through certain things.
Like a health issue, losing our job or getting our heart broken by a man or woman we loved.
The pain from these different situations will make you want to cave.
Feel like you're losing your mind.
Constantly plaguing it with "whys".
Have you in tears and keeping you up many late nights.

It just always seems so unfair.
You're a good person but are always filled with such great hopelessness and despair.
Asking yourself "Does God notice my burdens? Does He really care?"
You're never suppose to question God but sometimes you wish you could have a face to face meeting so you can understand Him more clearly.
They say everything happens for a reason.
And you always get what's meant for you in due season.
Still when you're reeling in pain it's tough to keep a positive mentality.
It's easier to just curl up in a ball and indulge in a self pity party.

But despite your flesh hurting, your spirit knows there's a purpose.
A purpose that is all a part of God's plan.
For He knows exactly how much we can bear.
And will never exceed our strength's capacity nor our inner will's limit to keep going despite adversities.
Sometimes God allows certain situations to occur to help mold us into what we're destined to be.
Every tear, hurt, pain and worry all serve their purpose to help towards fulfilling our destiny.
So many successful people always say certain pains and setbacks helped propel them to who they are today.  
This is when the saying "everything happens for a reason" comes back into play.  

God makes no mistakes.
He is the key to our lives being fruitful.
Supplying us daily with favor, mercy and grace.
So though we may be hurting and feel like we're at our end.
We must continue to fight on, have faith and believe.
There's purpose in our pain that God is going to manifest for us individually to see; how it all was necessary to become what He created each one of us to be.
God they'll mock me and doubt me... Trust Me
  God they'll say  I would be a fool not to stay where I am... Trust me
  God they think I'm only good for certain types of jobs as if that's all there is to me like I have no other gifts... Trust me
  God they are for sure gonna laugh and talk about me... Trust me
  God what if I fail?... Trust me
  God what if I lose it all?... Trust me
  God what if I'm not thinking clearly and they're all right?... Trust me
God but what if... Trust me
  I am Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will always make a way where there seems to be no way. Have I ever giving you a reason to doubt that I will not be there and provide for you? Your gift will make room for you. TRUST ME!
What happened to dating?
You know the thing where two people who are interested in each other go to dinner and a movie.
Actually engage in quality conversation.
Learn one another's life story.

Why does this generation frown upon love?
Like being in it is a disease.
Don't they know when it's authentic and real, it gives your life the purest joy and makes you believe in impossible possibilities.
Have you feeling a natural high off its ecstasy.

Is chivalry really dead?
Has monogamy met its end too?
Showing acts of courtesy and being faithful to your love is what one is suppose to do.
Yet people of today act like doing so only leads to catastrophe and being a player with keys to a plethora of hearts makes one a MVP.

It's so disturbing to me.
People seem more interested in quick easy schemes to have one night stands and a "boo" with no strings attached.
Forgetting the strength in building a forever with someone that will always have your front and back.
That's when love shows why having "your one and only" is where it's at.

But I'm an optimist by nature so I believe real love and relationships can exist.
No matter how much today's society tries to abolish the heart's desire for it.
Love will always shine its mega watt light to remind us of its power and non stop will to unite and conquer.
When I look at today's society I feel great sadness.

We fight, ****, bully, discriminate and look down on eachother. It's complete madness.

It seems to only get worse by the day.

Even our children face extreme hardships. Can't even just be kids and play.

No where seems to be safe.

Terrorists are in full force to destroy us as a human race.

Why can't we see how strong we really are and can be if we realized our differences are what makes us unique.

And to be unique is magic within its self so we all have the power to effect real change and help.

Help to make this world better for ourselves, families and future generations to come.

Stand completely united like we do for the national anthem at events we love; which is the only time I see us as one.

Imagine how amazing this world could be if everyone did their part.

It doesn't have to be a dream if we all just try and start.

I'll continue to say my prayers to God praying we change.

Cause we'll just end up destroying each other one by one if we continue this way.
Here we are yet again. Another black life taken too soon.

Another hashtag created trending on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and the news.

Why is it open season to those who wear a badge? A badge that is suppose to protect and serve.

But instead shoots down black men and boys in cold blood without reserve.

The law is suppose to protect everyone.

Yet there is still a great divide because of the color of our skin.

Racism is still very much alive & present in today's society though Martin and Malcolm helped tried to abolish it.

When does it end? When do we all stand together and act as one?

Injustice for one race should equate to injustice for everyone.

We live in the land of the free but that seems to have stipulations to me.

Especially if you're a young black boy and black man just trying to live in 2016.

So exactly how many hashtags must trend till there's a real call to action to come about?

Cause at this rate it seems there's an undercover extinction plan in effect for the African American race.
They throw stones in persecution.

They judge without knowing facts.

They bring others problems to light while forgetting their own skeletons they keep away.

They lack compassion and understanding as if humans don't make mistakes.

They ridicule with no remorse.

They belittle as if God would approve.

They act as if they are God themselves with the power to execute.

So who exactly are They?

They are the society that we live in today.

They are you and I destroying one another like a plague.

And giving how we treat each-other and the constant terrifying situations that occur each day.

I fear Judgement Day is near where God's anger with us all will reign.    

So let's ask for forgiveness and pray it's not too late to make a change.
I love you immensely but this go round of us trying to make it work again isn't sitting right with me.

You say you love me and that I have a part of you which is what keeps you coming back to me but that's the problem right there.

You keep coming back but never stay long enough for us to go to the next level.

It's like you're Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll.

You'll do good for a little while; almost having me convinced you're ready to commit.

Then your old habits will start showing once again.

We won't talk for days but you'll be on Instagram posting away.  

You say you would never intentionally hurt me cause that's not the type of man you are.

So what is one to call it then when you keep leaving me crying and scarred.

I keep clinging to the potential you and us I see in my mind.

I hold onto it for dear life because all I want is you by my side.

But if I keep holding on, I'll keep being the one getting hurt.

Wishing I would just muster up the nerve to be completely done with you and free from your curse.

Like I said I love you but I have to love me more.

I have to officially close our twisted love story's doors.

If we're meant to be then we will be.

But right now I have to start the process of taking better care of myself; no longer ignoring my needs.
