There is a PDiddy in every hustler,
A Mitchelle Obama in every lady,
A Barrack Obama in every child,
A Micheal Jackson in every singer/performer,
A TD Jakes in every preacher,
A Maya Angelou in every poet,
A Napoleon in every soldier
A Mother Theresa in every little girl,
A Henry Ford in every mechanic,
A Micheal Jordan in every basketball player,
A Picasso in every artist,
A Tupac in every gangster,
A Martin Luther King in every activist,
A Usain Bolt in every sprinter,
An Oprah Winfrey in every presenter,
An Einstein in every intelligent mind.

Greatness lives in each and every one of us
In whatever we do, whoever we are
wheresoever we're come from or go.

Every man is born ready to do exploits...some people never wake to the realism...or afforded the opportunity or answer the call or knock.

Lets get to it! About me..
(to the old)Don't hate me...
Don't hate on me or lie about me..
Don't sneak up on me,, or come at me.. in different
profiles....
Don't worry bout what I'm doin...
What my status is....
(2Da new) Don't sweat..
How I look,,my weigh my size..
whether I'm fat or thin..
Good or bad..you may never see more then my profile.
(to the old)I'm not your business..I just wanna forget..
I wasted time feeling down.. feeling blue..
feeling anything I am not due..
(2da new) I'm a healthy size chick, thickalicous..
and beautiful,, not too big, not too small.
(2da old) I know you loved  all of it..
I could care less what you think of me..
(2da new)I'm bold and I'm stunning.. not here to be cunning..
Just to write and share things to ease some moments.
When I have time..
Not tryna run out and meet no one..
To you I'm just a profile.. My life's private. I protect that.
If I like someone.. we will talk for real..
I'm always complimented on having a sweet
****** sensual voice. I appreciate my voice not many get to hear it
I'm careful when I feel I should be.
My pics are real.. google them image search them.
(2da old) Finally don't hate.. You lost a real gud thang..
I kno I got that guddy good, inside in out.
I deserve betta..
(2 all)Some may be afraid to express all this..
If you don't like me just pass on by..I'ma do me..
And always be a Lady
If your lookin for **** pics.., easy loose chicks, skip me..
You will only see simple pics, unless I decide to meet you
in the real..Don't ask for more then whats given..

I should be happy.

I have
Miles to go in life,
Moments to look forward to,
Millions of people to meet with,
Marvelous books to read,
Movies to watch,
Music to groove to,
Masterpieces to make and
Much friends that really
Make me happy.
Yet I am not.
My mind wonders why.
"Nope, I've got nothing to mention here."
Let’s face the facts.
No matter who you want to be, you cant.
Only because this society has their thoughts set in concrete contracts.
So if you love the wrong gender, wear the wrong clothes…
Society will eat you alive like a colony of fire ants.
I couldn't take it. So I arose.
I arose from the deep dark waters they infested and became bigger.
So big that their insults were now the size of bacteria.
It was almost as easy as pointing a gun and pulling the trigger.
But I couldn't.
This vicious cycle cannot continue.
No more fighting, no more violence!
We have to stand up for each other and rid the silence.
The silence that kept us still, wooden
The silence that brung our fears to life and made us small once more.
We are all equal so why can’t we act like it?
We could have just broken the silence with a loud and brave roar!
We could all form a puzzle, a puzzle where we all fit.
A community where everyone is kind.
But that won’t ever happen…
Everyone that holds the title “popular” is blind.
Yet somehow they rise above us.
They are always the biggest species.
I still believe in my dream.
The shine in someone's eyes the hope they bring.
All it takes is a little gleam…
To break the facts to tear right through the seems!
No longer shall these “facts” remain.
first poem! glad to be on here XD

I awoke one morning in
             youthful gazes
Seeing life was not of any creation
but of chaos.
                   And it was beautiful.

For I realized that what was before
           my eyes wasn't momentary
it was a moment already dying,
                    but we were catching up to it.

take care of yourself
and know it's ok to have different feelings
reconnect with doing the things you like to do without your spouse
give yourself a break
don't go through this alone
establish new relationships, hang out with your friends and make new ones
don't put yourself in emotionally hard situations
pay attention to how you feel
don't include your kids in the conflict
things will go back to normal, even if it's a new "normal"
things I've been googling lately

Lucy, you’re all white
bone-dry hands
but ya face ain’t calm—

Said you were almost complete
dancin on your two feet
but that rouge never lasts till dawn.

Girl you’ve walked the night
long as we can remember
whole worlds seen your hips sway—

Ever wish your secrets had stayed buried?
Baby, s'too late to worry
you’ve been embalmed in fame.
Fun fact: only 51% of young Americans (under 30) believe in evolution. Which means 49% do not, and that statistic is higher in older demographics! Lucy is the oldest, "most complete," skeleton of a human (female) that we have found to date! She's 3.2 million years old

Facts are my basis
Life isn't full of roses and daisies
You are your own racist
You belittle yourself's abilities

Throw away the pain
Open your door, dance in the rain
Your abilities are the strength you gain
You just need to put that in your brain

Appreciate yourself you have beauty
Trust yourself, you can get through seas that was stormy
Wave your flag after you crossed the unstable bridge
Then get back on the ground, kneel to thank God

Sing that song say 'I will survive! "
Believe in yourself you'll make it out alive
Repeat this cycle of life while holding yourself tight
Then next thing you knew you won already with all your might
For 2018
to call hard science „fake news“
creates suspicion that this abuse
of hard facts about global warming
is but a shabby adorning
of the power of money
which tastes sweeter than honey
as lobbyists prove every morning
