Hopefully
HOPEFULLY, if willing, I will see you again,
HOPEFULLY, This Friendship would never, ever end,
HOPEFULLY, some day l will see you around,
even if I am feeling so low and so down.

Hopefully, I will touch the blue heavenly skies and
spread my wings like the birds so very High,
I am very thankful for whatever life provides, and
the fact the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

MOST DEFINITELY, I will BE THANKFUL of the things I already have,
Accept things as they are, and in this BE GLAD,
I am happy with MY LIFE, and this HAPPINESS IS FREE,
Just to LOVE my WONDERFUL LIFE, and I will CONTINUE TO LOVE ME!!! ❤️

It's just a SMALL HICCUP
If it bothers you then
Drink some water or
hold your BREATH,
Fix the ERROR,
after that
Just REST,
Don't let the SITUATION
bring you on DOWN,
Work with the GLITCHES and
then MANEUVER on AROUND.
It just a SMALL MISHAP and
it can be FIXED,
It not a BIG DEAL
So go on and HANDLE IT.
It's just a LITTLE HICCUP,
Don't get your
*******  in a BUNCH,
It'll work out SOMEHOW,
I'm just giving
you a HUNCH,
When things
GO SIDEWAYS,
or EVEN DOWNHILL,
There's just GOTTA
BE A WAY and
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!
When things are OFF and
CIRCUMSTANCES
CAN GET TOUGH,
JUST REMEMBER
there's a way and
THIS IS JUST A HICCUP!!!!

Pick yourself up and
dust off your shoulders
Keep running this race
While the world gets colder
Don't Give In just Keep on Pressing
If things get Really Tough
It means you're Winning
So, pick yourself up and
dust off your shoulders
Keep your eyes on the Prize
As this world gets colder
So, stand your ground and
Become more Bolder!!!

The story of Cinderella in
the earlier times, didn't
always have a
HAPPY ENDING,
well, for Cinderella and the Prince, YES!!!  
but for the stepsisters, it was RATHER DISTURBING.
What was told was FANTASTIC, on
the other hand was DRASTIC.
Instead of glass slippers,
it was depicted
SQUIRREL FUR SLIPPERS.
As, gruesome as it sounds,
such a horrid
SITUATION,
the STEPSISTERS
tricked the prince
by inflicting
SELF-AMPUTATIONS.
They did this to
themselves
so, their feet would
fit the SLIPPERS.
But, through the
HEAVENLY DOVES,
the prince realized
the bleeding
of their
SELF-INFLICTED
AMPUTATIONS.
When it was all said and done,
Cinderella was the one,
they had both fell in Love that Night.
The Dove plucked out there eyes, it was not suprise that the Stepsisters have lost their Sight!!!

But, I think that I feel you and
you are the Real One!!
I can Be the one for you!!
We could be together

Bitter (Free Verse)
I feel so BITTER, and
I DEF KNOW WHY,
This WORLD is so COLD,
That it makes me wanna CRY,
There is so much HATE,
AS THESE DAYS GO BY,
When YOU'RE TRYING to
ENDURE IT, and
It makes you wanna SIGH,

NO MATTER the TRIALS
IT WILL BE ALRIGHT,
These TROUBLES WON'T LAST,
Through the DARKNESS there is LIGHT,
I AM BITTER RIGHT NOW, but THAT'S OKAY,
My SUNSHINE will BREAK
through these DARK CLOUDS,
AND SHINE AGAIN ONE DAY,
I'm just PRAYING IT ALL
GETS BETTER AND THE
BITTERNESS GOES AWAY

These TIMES HAVE CHANGED,
PEOPLE are SO DERANGED
It's makes NO SENSE
It's just so INSANE, but
THE DEAR LORD KNOWS,
AS I CONTINUE to FLOW,

These SKIES of BITTER GRAY,
Will become SUNNY BRIGHTER DAYS,
I BELIEVE my LORD AND SAVIOR
WILL MAKE A WAY,
THROUGH THIS DARK, DARK WORLD
that is EVIL and SO COLD,
PEOPLE ARE SO BOLD,
and EVEN THROUGH THESE
TRYING TIMES,
BLESSINGS WILL UNFOLD!!!

So, TRUST IN HIM,
HE WILL MAKE A WAY,
THE BITTERNESS WILL SUBSIDE,
PRODUCING HAPPIER DAYS!!!

They call her Snow Black and there are seven Evil Dwarfs,
She is a raving mad princess, she wreaks havoc in the forest.
You thought Snow White, her sister was sweet and docile,
Well, Snow Black her Evil twin, is wicked and hostile.
I bet you didn't know Snow White had a evil twin,
You barely hear about her because of the evill within.
Snow Black cares nothin but to cause pure Malice,
Her only intentions is to take over the evil queens palace.
She lives deep, deep, deep in the evil forest.
As the Seven Evil Dwarfs march and sing in chorus,
Snow Black let's it be known, She is the real evil queen of the forest.
they March to and fro in the deep Dwarfs mines
To do evil works for the evil Princess would be so fine!!
