What are we?
Are we friends or
Are we foes?
Dr. Deceptive ask me to
do as I was told
he was nice and warm
but now he is stone cold
he told me to freeze
I froze
standing still in an abyss
and we were all alone...

He had injected me
on the side
my body shaked
his smile began to wry
I grew fangs
my nails grew long
my body hair grew thick
my muscles grew strong
he tricked me all along
however, he wont have me
for long...
this time he will be gone.

Through my intuition
I finally
fought off
this transformation
as I slowly reverted
back into a human
he told me
to change back
then I told him
"Why would I do that?"

He said he loves me so
I said no, because you
have a lust for control
What you have done to me
resembles
to those monsters
you claimed that broke
your soul.
Follow your intuition. Btw it's good to write again ☺️  :-)

ADHD
Keyana Brown Feb 8
Everyday I feel...
Distracted
Complacent
and unadjusted

One moment
I'm drowning in the ocean
next I'm tangled in the jungle
My mind is drifting in motion
thinking of work, life, and death
all in a bundle.

I have to go work
I have to pay rent thats due
then do college assignments
Today my nana was gone too soon
I began to wept and forgot I havent eaten
I left, then my friend called and said
"Can you come through?"
I wanted no excuse
and said that its cool
I remembered
I needed to complete a painting
not just one but so many
also my poems still in the making.

Its fine...
because it keeps
my mind pondering
than constantly
worrying.

I'm not going to lie,
I'm not puzzled
Thank God
that I'm grateful
I kept myself busy
when life has its trial.
Rest in power and in peace nana 🙏🏽 ❤💐
ADHD helps me carry on with life.

Who?
Keyana Brown Jan 2023
Oh my goodness!
Who did this to you?
Are you okay?
Is there someone
I could contact to?

A first I look
in your eyes
blood dripping
on the left
black as tar
on the right
I'm here
wondering
who tried to
take out your
life.

Your arms
cut into stripes
I kept asking you
are alright
nothing
Your bruised
legs are numb
and your lower
back has a bump
whoever did this
made sure you
had enough.

I told you
that I'm not
leaving
I'm not
leaving
for I
needed
an explanation
for your beating.

I wanted to know
who tattooed
your neck dark
who drenched
your lips
with a ******
mark?

You finally
looked up
and after
I asked
in depth
you told me
who done it
first name
My
last name
Self.
Be kind to yourselves

Pink Walls
Keyana Brown Jan 2023
My mother said to look past
the bright pink walls
imagination and story tales
overtime it will grow old.

I imagine about
fairy tales and casting spells
very pure like white snow,
I glimpse past the pink walls
as my face beats red
my mind has been deceived
my imagery of the world
was wrong.

Outside the pink walls
lead me to an imperfect
sporadic world
that slowly
caves me into
adulthood.

Change
Keyana Brown Sep 2022
Your enemies may hate it
once they see you doing good
as you carry on with your life
collecting hopes and dreams
as good like they are.

Your friends will love it
dancing around the wild
like a young chimpanzee
feeling carefree and happy

Your family might question it
like you're involved in a crime
an old version of you
lie dead before them
cold, bruised, and paralyzed
as if you did what you had to do
just avoid trauma and stay alive.

You out of all people should know
the reason for your decision
and what kept you out versus
what held you hostage
for so long.

I can only go so far
Keyana Brown Sep 2022
These emotions
they are so
beneath me
and every
memory of you
is drowning me.

So far
you made
it easy to
call you
my love
but still
I wonder
are you
enough.

I tried to
not think
like this
but it's
hard to dismiss
sometimes I
feel that your
the one
or your not
what I hoped of.

I can only go
so far to find
the truth
is it me
or is it you?

Nothing
Keyana Brown Sep 2022
All this effort
and all I got is
nothing.

Sending letters
or being there
when you
need me here

You said
Your always
up to something
when I needed you
yet it's all for nothing

I enter your life, but
am I interrupting?
All this love
I gave you
was it all for
nothing?

Or is it something?
If someone loves they would go far to keep you and not make work for nothing.

Happy Pill
Keyana Brown Mar 2022
In my daily life
I consumed so many pills
to ease my troubles
I'm frozen as I remained still.

~It isn't enough

In the middle of
my dose,
Lord you were there
when I needed you the most
because of you
my mood is not so cold
everyday you always
remind me I'm never alone.

He set the rain
to my fire
whenever I lack love
or even desire
He was there
as my protector
when my mind
wasn't sheltered.

When people
don't find me equal
Lord uplift my story
and enhance my sequal.

He's love
He's my will
He's better
than a happy pill.

Talk
Keyana Brown Mar 2022
I would rather
bite my lip til I bleed
I would rather
grit my teeth as
they break down
into seeds.

ANYTHING BUT TALK

I would rather
get punched in the face
and pretend that I'm ok
I would rather
be hit by a car
or be sent to Mars

ANYTHING BUT TALK

Talking about my feelings
Talking about me
I would do anything
but none of those things
It's only going to hurt you
than it does to me.

I rather not talk
I rather just walk
let my feelings
be discreet
that's at least
what he said to me.

It doesn't faze me
Keyana Brown Feb 2022
Your stress
is not
my stress.

Your worry
is not
my worry.

Your brain
is not
my brain.

Your fire
is blue
while mine
is red.

Your eyes
are wet
while mine
are dry.

Your animals
are caged
while mine
are free.

As you
can tell
it doesn't
faze me.
Don't let people's problems be your problems.

A Friend in me
Keyana Brown Nov 2021
Do you see
what I see?

Do you see
A friend in
me?

Am I
What you want
me to be?

Am I
enough for you
to be heard
or to be seen?

Is there anything
wrong with me,
if so will you
tell me?

Am I green
or am I grey?

Am I
good enough
for you to stay,
or will you
leave me astray?

Buttercup 🧈

Dear Buttercup,

How do I
**** it up
when my life
gets tough?

I have been
MAD
SAD
and mostly
HAD

Teach me
To be strong
when life
goes wrong.

All I wanted
was to move on
dealing with
sorrow and pain
it's ongoing tune
coming from a song.

Please tell me
right now
I need to find
a way out
someway
someday
somehow...

It's 3am
in the morning
I'm wide awake
when I should be snoring.

My mind
Is pondering
and I'm anxious
when I could be sleeping.

Oh God
is there a reason
why I shouldn't
be sleeping?

Oh God
should I be praying
because my heart
is racing?

I'll just
put my worries aside
it's about time that
I have a talk with him
tonight.

Bed

Bed
It's so good
to get out
of my bed
to not sink
into the deep
comforting covers
that left me
lethargic and unbottherd.

Now that out
of my bed
enjoying the things
that I should
or maybe did
because if I
don't I could've
been sleeping for
the entire day
or reading depressing
poems as my
emotions leave me
in such disarray.

Mr. Pain
Keyana Brown Jul 2021
There goes Mr. Pain
as he dances on the stage
always dancing so competitively
he aimlessly won again.

Here goes Mr. Pain
playing those drums again
he can care less about the complaints
because the beat feels good from within.

Is that Mr. Pain?
he is still hammering
trying to build a house
he won't stop at anything.

Mr. Pain may have
all the skills by all means
but it's torturing
every part of me
and it's heartbreaking
that he couldn't see.

~I am the stage
whenever he stomps
I feel myself rage
I am the drums
playing as my feet
grow numb
I am the house
where my emotions
get's worn out.

It's not about a relationship with a guy, I promise.
It's about life.
Keyana Brown May 2021
When life getting tough to beat, all you have to
drink water, pray, breathe, and sleep

Whenever you get over your past and you are far from future
as you breakdown until you began to weep, thats why its important
drink water, pray, breathe, and sleep.

If you haven't made your goals, just know you are not alone
the goals that you had will be well on your own and to keep
just drink water, pray breathe, and sleep.

~I'd rather
start drowning
every sadness
that ruins my
day.


~I'd rather
start burying
my problems aside
It will be blissful

Electricia pt.2 Thunder
Keyana Brown Feb 2021
Back then she hated
herself and her life
as if she couldn't
see the light.

She onced believed
that all people were the same
because majority of them
bought her so much pain.

She tried harder to complete
many obstacles
she tried to be
confident
strong
helpful
and beautiful
...to the public eye
after many attempts
~she was denied

The rain has fallen
the lightning started striking
BOOM
the thunder is frightening
suddenly the noise
blocked all of her feelings
of pure hatred and rejection.

BOOM
Electricia is free
now once again
no more negative energy
her judgement is broken
and ready to take over the land.
To be continued...

trichophobia
Keyana Brown Jan 2021
It's not the hair on my head
It's only the dry center on my neck.

It's not that hate my skin
It's just what is deep inside it.

It's not painful really
It's extremely repetitive.

It's not a bad habit
It's a new hobby.

It's not a birth mark
It's more of a lovebite.

It's not that I can't stop
It's just that I won't stop.

It's not only my addiction
It's my mental condition.

Body
Keyana Brown Jan 2021
God is now the artist
I surrenderd
my paint brush
to him.

I will
no longer
let society
the media
or even myself
paint an image
that is impossible
for me to be

I'm not my scars
I'm not my torso
I'm not my face
I'm not my thighs
      I'm not even my race


For I am only his muse
and not ours.
Go to the mirror and tell yourself you are wonderfully made.

Ungracious Patience
Keyana Brown Dec 2020
~It's tough to say that
I am afraid of the future
many souls want to leave
out their lovely homes
cold, empty, and spacious.


~It's people like me
who hide behind
the blankets that's
oderous even after
sobbing and
contemplating.


~After a while
I sit back
and don't relax
as my brain
tries to drain
out every sorrow
that I have where
my leaky eyes
can drown itself.


~My grandmother's soul
decided to find a new home
somewhere spacious and lively
patiencently she waits for the
right time and place
before her soul left she never
let time rush her life or her
way of telling people how
to be patient saved her.


~Her soul is not sorry
for her dissapearence
but she is grateful
for how long she spent
with the patiences she had
after many years.


~Yesterday as I
hid under my blanket of misery
I felt so ungracious
for being impatient
with her soul leaving
her home, her family, and life
all behind when in reality
the soul just wanted to
start a new journey.
~
This poem goes to my grandma, Jonnie Mae.
Rest well my beautiful and patience soul.

Thieves
Keyana Brown Dec 2020
Please cut me the brief
it's people like them
that go away missing

They are hyenas
from day to night
it's these animals
who risk to survive
for something
they try to steal
and hide.

Distracted as we are
as they laugh and prey
someone is going
to hunt them down
somewhere some day.

Their not doing it for
the children
the civilians
or starvation
only for our
humiliation.
This piece goes out to everyone who works retail.
Thievery must end.

Toxic
Keyana Brown Dec 2020
Hello
I'm that friend
that you dispies
just from the look
of your eyes
I would say:

"You look cool, let's be friends."
And the next day I become distant
I left you on read,
snatched all of your friends,
and tell people your such a dread
the truth is I wasn't really your friend
it's just one of those friendships that's ruined.

~Toxic

Hello,
I'm your lover
who is the opposite
of what you want
than the other lovers
we hit off strong
until more other
seductive lovers
came along.

I cheated on you once,
shame on me
I cheated on you twice
this time it wasn't me you see
I cheated on you on third
it was meant to be.

You told me to get out
as I left the door
then I turned to ask you:

"What did you do that for?"
And you said you
don't want to see me anymore
by now you realized it's
another broken relationship
that you have store.

~Toxic

Hello,
I am your manger
and I expect you
to get things done
you get no break
for there's a company
to run
I'm the one that
your coworkers say
that I'm no fun.
In the first job, I say:
"Good job, your doing great!
                Few minutes later,
" Leave slacker, your always making a mistake and trying to make me look bad like I'm a rough case!"

Everyday you had to deal me
which in reality I'm pushing you to
quit and feel unsucced.

~Toxic

Hello,
I am you
and I tell you
what stays
and goes.

Your getting too fat
         Oh-no!
You don't need friends
           Let them go!
You need change
there's too much goodness
in you that needs to be arranged!

I need you to get perfect and
stop acting worthless
but you hurt others than yourself
which who would have ever thought my emotions could destroy my mental health
then end up hurting everyone else.

And you said to yourself...
~*Maybe I'm just toxic.

Black Eyeshadow
Keyana Brown Sep 2020
Pick a side any side
if you don't, you are
more than likely to die

THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF HERE!

I had made many attempts
to excape reality but initially
they found me in my own lonesome
beaten me from my own pride
striped me from who I am inside.

Everyday I get a new make-over
I couldn't choose the right race
so they had knock me down cold
until I have decided what is
my right place.

I JUST CAN'T CHOOSE!!
I would say both but they
would beaten me into a pulp.
How did this world get so low?
Everyday I would wakeup with
****** red lips and
dusty black eyeshadow.

Shrinkage

Push me in
then stretch me out
is it time to
back out now?

Add more of this
and a little bit of that
anything to make
me prettier for that I
lack.

I can tell you
one or two things
you cannot change
whatever God brings
I may not have
the right length
or the right shape
but I may
have the strength
to convince you
that I'm in good
health in despite
of my wealth.

all these
thoughts are
running
through my

A woman's
mind is
often
untouched
because it's
more of a crutch
her thoughts
claimed that
her life is
never enough
she want this
and don't
want that
my mind
loves to
attack on
my happiness
which lacks
I pray
to say
that
my mind
will not
continue
to revert
me back
to the past.

🍍Pineapple Rings🍍
Keyana Brown Aug 2020
The world looks harsh
I know it seems
nothing's going to
stop us for chasing
our dreams

We maybe distant
you know I see
that doesn't mean
we can still
be a team

~All we gotta do is believe

Because we are like a
cheesey romance movie
on the big flat TV screen
where we ignore the world
as hard as it may seem
but our love is rich
and sweeter like

~pineapple rings

so don't let
society interfere
with things
love is the
cure for
everything.
Don't you agree?

Red Ribbon
Keyana Brown May 2020
She was honored
for her passion.

She was known
for having a
sense of fashion.


A lady who had
a perfect vision
of swirling ribbons
that could hang
upon a tree.

Which is why
she was full of
zeal and glee.

Through the ruby-reds
and the jet-blacks
she sets them
in multiple stacks.

She can't help, but
make the ribbons
start with red
then add a pop of
gold.

One day, she found
her first true love
and he gave her
a rose.

Her lover
noticed her obsession
for ribbons were
getting outlandish
and old.

She later
became famous
after she left
her lover over
her irreplaceable
ribbons.

After all
it was always
her passion
that keeps
her drivin.

Think think!
Think of a time

Fear God
Keyana Brown Apr 2020
I am so afraid
of getting hurt,
by the people I trust
which can be the worst.

I am so afraid of
being lured into the culture,
it's eating and striping me
like a vulture.

I am mostly afraid
of being...
Betrayed
Played
Abused
Used

But these fears
are uncompared to
what I have in God.

I fear God
because of his power
I fear God
because he's a mighty tower
I fear God
because he's here to protect
I fear God
because of that,
I vow to give him respect

I fear God
because he saved me
from the shadows of death
and I owe him all my love
for he is the best.
The true meaning of how to fear God versus what some non-believers do when they fear God.

You got me
Keyana Brown Mar 2020
You got me feeling
in a sort of way,
the way you look at me
feels good everyday.

You got me feeling
in a sort of way,
when you smile at me
it shows that I'll be ok.

I don't know what to do,
or know what to say,
it's your precious love
that is getting in the way.

Dear God, please control
my wandering emotions,
his love is like a rollercoaster
moving me in rapid motions.

You are the best thing in my life,
for you love me as you may
because all I know is that,
you got feeling in a sort of way.

Rain Dance
Keyana Brown May 2018
As I saw the rain
I said to myself...
No more guilt
No more misery
Or how bad I felt
And no more feeling
Sorry for myself.
It is time to let go.

I stepped outside
and I feel alive
I told myself
I don't want
to hide.

God has showered me
From the goodness of
his grace and I'll never
turn away.

I'm dancing, dancing,
dancing in the rain
and there is nothing
standing in my way
People might say
I have gone insane
But it doesn't matter
Because my blessing
Is on its way.

I will give it my all
just like David,
As he dance around
in public bare naked
to declare victory in God
My heart beats rapidly
as I begin to shout:
Glory!

Because he is a mighty God
As I rain dance against
all the odds.
This is a true story and I never felt free.

Go
Keyana Brown Apr 2018
Go
We have a lot in common
we love to serve God
and we try hard to fight
to fight our sins,
but only this time...
I gave in.

My sin became so strong
that my feelings for you
began to be weak and thin
Don't ask me how,
it just happened!

I honestly don't despise you
if you never wanted to see me again
my future for us has come to an end
because my future for my addiction
had just began.

Please don't take this personal
I still love you so,
but do me a favor for your sake
to just...go.
Instead of looking for the right person for you, the first step is to be the right person.

Hold me Back!
Keyana Brown Feb 2018
My emotions are attacking again
and this time I won't let them win
It's clear to God that the enemy
is waiting for me to sin.

Anger!
is the enemy's thrill for desire,
Depression!
it's the enemy's greatest obsession,
Fear!
is the music to the enemy's ears,
Pain!
is what brought up the enemy's gain.

I was ready to fight
but God refused
he grasped my hand so tight
that I couldn't move.

He grabbed my other arm
as he pulled me close to him
he told me to stop, yet
I wanted to hit the enemy
with every whim!

The Lord held me back
like an imate in a straitjacket
forbidding me to attack
or allowing me to get the first hit

He dragged me so far away
that the enemy sighed in a bore,
God whispered to me in my ear
he said: "Ignore!"

I kicked, screamed, plead
away from God to fight the enemy,
but it's no use after many attempts
he still won't let me leave.

"Ignore!"
he said as I began to cry
in a fearful dread
it's no use, so I gave up
and alow the enemy to
beat me up until I'm dead.

Few minutes later...
the enemy looked at me
very disgusted and confused
he screamed: "Get sad! Be angry!"

Silence

The enemy was fuming,
fire bursting out of his nose,
sweating through his forehead,
at this rate he was about to explode!

The enemy's heart gave out
he screamed again:
"Be angry...be upset! Do it now!"

Silence

His arms are disintegrating
His legs are inflated like a balloon
His mouth were turning to ash
He was doomed.

The enemy retreats
as I called him weak
it was funny to think
that I was like him,
because my silence
was surprisingly meek.

I have now learned
and understand that
it's better to say nothing
or lay a hand
on the enemy.

We should all ignore
for what the enemy
has in store because it
makes all the difference.

Therefore I will no longer
be his slave... no more.
Emotions are dangerous, yet again.

A Hatred for Music
Keyana Brown Dec 2017
Never have I ever heard
anyone say they hated music
I asked her again and she said
'I hate music!'

She hated music
because it reminded her
of her tragic past after
every lyric in her head
it drowned her thoughts
that filled her with dread.

She hated music
because it reminded her
of love because she
feels that her love
isn't good enough...
for anyone.

She hated music
because it reminded her
of unhappiness
when she tried to listen
to an instrumental tune
she would be gloom
as the beat mimics
the sound of her
fathers beating heart
before he passed away
until then she fell apart
and felt her life was
going to be doomed.

She hated music
because it reminded her
of the good old days
where she was young
and nothing was
stepping in her way
although there were
songs that would say
in life things will change
and you don't always
have it your way.

She hated music
because it reminded her
how people created it
and she said that some artists
don't make songs for
great motivation,
but sadly it's more like
great desperation
she said it must be easy
for them to do all of that
just to get famous
although it doesn't do
everybody any good to
improve their daily
situation.

She hated music so much
that it made her jump into
conclusion which made her
so ticked as she look back
at it now it got her sick.
she asked me
why do people listen to music
when all we can do is ignore it?

She listens to every genre
of music from
many different artists
and she still isn't
interested
as she clutch
her hand into a fist.

She realized now
that she is free from the lyrics that weighed her down
and the rhythm that drags her back around
she believes that without music she would feel
safe and sound.

Why I Fear God?
Keyana Brown Sep 2017
I am soo afraid
of getting hurt by
the people I trust
which can be the worst.

I am soo afraid
of being lured into the culture
as it eats and strips away every
part of me like a vulture.

I am soo afraid
of being...
betrayed
played
abused
and used.

But these fears are not
compared to what I have
in God.

I fear God
because of his power
I fear God
because he's a mighty tower
I fear God
because I give him respect
I fear God
because he saved me
from the depths of
the flesh
I fear God
because I owe him
my love for
he is the best!
In life, we can't be afraid of rough situations that drag us down or be afraid of trusting God. When it comes to fearing God it's time to surrender all our fears unto him and let trust in God begin to grow.

Feelings
Keyana Brown Jun 2017
God, I rather not sleep tonight
because I'm going out of my mind
I pray that you will let me stay up all night
it may be dark outside, but these feelings...
they crawl inside my thoughts all the time
and the last thing on my mind is...
that these feelings must die.

I want to put in the fire,
it's my only desire!
I want to shove it in the dirt,
it feels so good that it won't even hurt!
I want to rip it apart,
so I can love God with all of my heart!
I want to shoot it with a bullet,
so I can live my life through the fullest!


Through aggression, depression, obsession, and frustration
my mind keeps making the same equation
on how to prevent my feelings that leads me to temptation.
I just keep trying to keep my feelings inside...

*but still I want them to just...die
If your mind is bottled up with emotions its better to pray to God than to spend all night trying fight these emotions alone.

Tears
Keyana Brown Apr 2017
I can't help it
I can't take it...
anymore.

Who's looking
at me now?

I am sobbing
I am throbbing

Who can stop the
rain from falling?

I just...can't stop
crying!

Tears, Tears
go away!
I want to be
with the Lord
today.


Tears, Tears
back away
please let me
be happy again.


I don't want
to cry anymore
because I cause
such a storm.

Where's my hope
Where's my faith?

I can't let my
emotions take
me away!

It's time for
the survival
so I shall get
my bible.

No more shackles,
I'm ready to tackle
the enemy!

*Tears, Tears
back away
please let me
be happy again.

Is it me all along?
Keyana Brown Mar 2017
Is it me or
is it the devil?
I think that...
I may be evil.
I have broke
my way into
deep trouble.

Is it me or
am I negative?
The squandering
of my thoughts
lead me into a
nasty situation.

Is it me or
am I selfish?
I'm so attached
to myself to the
point where I
start to hate...
people  

Is it me that
started this
insanity?
I'm confused
right now
and it's
killing me!

I should
tell my
deep
and
dark
emotions
to leave.

Basset Hound Eyes
Keyana Brown Mar 2017
What's wrong with you humans?
You have water in your eyes!
Stop that!?
Please don't cry
not with those
basset hound eyes.

Don't look at me like that
with those droopy eyes!
Don't worry about me
I'll be fine just...
don't look at me
with those...
basset hound eyes.

Do you remember
the good old days?
Where I clang my dish bowl
every single day
or the time we took long walks
around the neighborhood
as the neighbors smiled
and began to talk.

Do you remember,
when I was attacked by a hawk
and y'all came to rescue me ?
I was so in pain that I couldn't even talk
I could've died,
but I didn't
Didn't I?

Therefore y'all
shouldn't cry
not with those
basset hound eyes.

These memories will never die
and neither will mine.
God knows that it's time
So please don't cry
not with those
basset hound eyes.

Before I leave
promise me
that all of you
will never forget me.
This is a way of life
and I must go now
It's my...time.

Therefore y'all
shouldn't cry
not with those...
basset...houn...hound
eyes.


**I love y'all and let God
be your guide.
Don't worry I will always
be by your side

Earclogged
Keyana Brown Mar 2017
The world is silent
my mind turns vilolent
there is so much noise
that it can't be quiet!

As the rhythum of words
began humming inside my ear
saying different things
that arent clear.

Was that a rumor?
water engulfs inside my ears
It's that a gossip I ponder?
Oh no,
Not another rumor!

Oh, dear...

All those words clogged inside
I said nothing ,but nod
Those words filled up my ear
and its hard for me to hear...
except these rumors.

*This I fear.

The Townhouse
Keyana Brown Feb 2017
Here you go again
getting on about
talking...talking...
Talking about
that townhouse.

I felt like a caged mouse
there's a way in, but...
no way out.


Blood stained walls
Cracked floors
Should I say more!?
Creepy neighbors
Meddling bugs
Enough, now hush!

Why the townhouse?!
Why the townhouse?!

Just why?

Thinking about that house
gives me nightmares
don't you want our family safe?
Do you even care?

A townhouse where
a husband and wife
wish for more money
and not enjoying life
where the children
are spoiled rotten
and they cry
all the time.

So stop mentioning
that townhouse
one more word
and you are out
Where we are now
is perfectly fine
don't say it again
don't waste my time.

*I'll stay and live here
because I'm nourished
You can go out there
as I watch you...
flourish...back into
the townhouse.
There is a lot things that says about you and it's not just your personality. It's your house and if you don't like where your at don't hesitate to leave.

Dried Tears
Keyana Brown Feb 2017
When I was little girl,
I cried so many times
that every teardrop of rain
would fall of my eyes.

When I was an adolescent
I couldn't stop crying at all.
Bodies of water came running
down like the Niagara Falls.

By the time I was an adult
a drought appeared in my eyes
I felt no guilt or shame
but I still feel sad inside.

The cracks beneath my skin
forms a desert upon my face
My emotions are fighting me
there is a part of me that I can't erase.

The waterfall has formed
as the water absorb the soil
That's it I'm done
I'm no longer living in turmoil!

And as I hear the Spirit of the Lord say:
"They that sown tears shall reap in joy."
Even after all these years
why didn't I think this way?
My tears won't  bring me down
as of today.

For there is joy in the morning
after every tear sown
because God does great works
Therefore in this situation
I am never alone.
Keyana Brown Feb 2017
When there's a will
there is a way
Don't be confuse
it's all in the brain
No, you're not insane!
just keep going...
your life is at stake.

You ask yourself if it's safe
to go through tomorrow
without having any regret
or sorrow...
we should hope for the best
because if you reap
you will sow
and like a plant
you will grow.

How can we go on?
As the flames burn our confidence
and strip away our happiness
its our job to fight through it!
if the devil took our prize pocessions
shouldn't we make our way to go retrieve it?
And if God says he'll make a way
for all your circumtances
to fade away,
shouldn't we give him more chances
than the one's that failed
to keep our promises
that was made?

There is no curse or spell
to prevent our way of living
if we live through this
our problems will be less deceving
As we can all tell
because nobody
should go through
hell.
I'm back from my uneased mind. ;-)

I Just Mite
Keyana Brown Oct 2016
My enemies are like mites
they crawl inside your skin
and they know where to bite...
My expectations, dreams, faith, or anything.

Those bugs are nothing,
but blood thirsty thugs
they had me this close
However...
It wasn't enough.

I had to fight it out
even if it seems rough.

Every bruise, scrape,and scar
after the attack of the enemies
I'm surprised I got this far...

I can't just quit!

After every time that I get bit
with their hate and arrogance.
I can still fight and have a chance.
Another option would be to use bug spray. Lol! Jk :p
