Say their names
Someone we loved and cared about has gone away
Show the world who they were
their memories live on
Don't be afraid to tell their stories
Say their names
Say it loud and be proud of it  
They lived and their lives  mattered
Make the world remember their faces
Say their names
They made a difference in the world
Their smiles were contagious
They were important to friends and family
They loved like no other, and cared with their whole hearts
So say their names
They have  gotten  through hard times like a soldier
They learned and developed along the way
No matter what was thrown at them, they never gave  up
They were warriors and worked through whatever life threw at them
So Say their names say it  loud
Let their spirits live through you
their laughter was like music in the air
They were survivors who clawed their way back from hell
They had futures that were taken from them
There are  children who are missing  their mothers and  fathers, their aunts  and  uncles
Say their names say it  
Weddings got canceled with  a gunshot
Children  missed their  graduations
Lives were taken simply  for the color of their skin
They called out for help, but were thrown to the ground
Their voices got taken away in the eyes of the law
Proved that they were more than eyes can see
So say their name



What ever you do in a day
Say their names
And say it proud

To stand up and fight
To go beyond your means
to stand out among a crowd.
To push past your enemies
To fight fire with fire
To rebuild whats been broken
To speak up and speak out
To win back whats been stolen
To be different than others
Embrace your future and forget your past!
Close your eyes, and let your imagination fly away
To Hold on tightly and nurture it
To Count your blessings each day
To Forgive people who hurt you
To rejoice and be glad in it
Pray away all evil spirits
Spread your wings and fly away
To be still and know who God is
To learn new ways to achieve greatness
To Plant new seeds to your empire
To Navigate through the ups and downs
To Break the chains all hurt
To Cross the bridge to see what you may find
To cleanse your mind, body, and soul
To accept both compliments and criticism
To block out all negativity
To share the love that you have found
To tell the truth with no lies
To go to the moon and back
To complete what you started
To serve the lord with all your  heart

I double dare you to just do it if you think you
can, then do it
Rachel Gosby Dec 2023
Not what people say you are
Believe and new doors shall  open
Don't be pushed around
Let the judgments flow off like water
Build what others couldn’t build
Take the setback, and use it as an advantage
Walk by faith and not by sight
Remember who you are
You're a survivor
Don't let people stand in your way
Take back control
Hold your head up
Smile past all the hurt and disappointments
Be  capable of everything you set your mind to
Believe in all that you do in each day
Receive new opportunities with open arms
Be full of enthusiasm and glee
You're a survivor
   Get up, and fight back
Let the sun shine through the darkness
Believe and take a chance
Leave trivial matters behind
Cleanes your mind, body, and soul
Stand above your enemies
Unstuck from your past
Surround yourself with love
You're a survivor
Laugh again you got it
Smile your a winner
Mistakes are just mistakes
Your past is your past
Cross the bridge, your blessings are there
Break the chains of the hurt and pain
Stand up, the tragedy is over
Your everlasting love is near
You're a survivor

No matter what, you're always a
survivor

Making new memories
Learning to love yourself once again
Letting the sun shine through
Unlocking yourself from all evil spirits
Freeing your soul

Singing new songs along with the birds
Crossing the bridge to see what you may find
Finding inspiration throughout the day
Standing up and fighting against all odds
Rebuilding a new life for yourself
Embracing the person you are
Repairing your broken heart
Learning from your mistakes
Navigating through the darkness
Expounding and growing roots deep into the earth

Just keep moving just keep doing it
Your Doing It
Rachel Gosby Dec 2023
To be Free at last
To feel your soul once again
To explore the world with different eyes
To sing a new song within your heart

I was so **** trapped in my own mind
And couldn’t break free, even with me trying.
I tried to get out and couldn't.
Evil spirits and negativity were taking over.
Every **** thing was so **** wrong.
My problems couldn't get fixed.
Darkness was my own company.
I Couldn’t embrace my fears.
I was passing my days in solitude.
I even tried to lift my foot and couldn't
Screaming so **** loud and still couldn’t be heard.
Looking at everything so different.
My thoughts were too **** drowned without reason.
Breaking free was definitely not happening.
The world was still moving without me.
No one even noticed I was even missing.
Asking to be brought back.
Asking where the keys at.
Praying away all my doubt.
One toe began  to move..
Until eventually
My whole foot begins to move.
Halfway there.
I’m rinsing and repeating.
I’m unstuck, and free.
I can hear, see, feel, and move again.
It was all in my head.
I’m surrounded by people's love and support.
Carving my path in this world.
With God’s help and his angels.

I was stuck, but now I’m free. I was lost, but now I’m found.
God showed me the way and he can show you the way.
Let him help you get unstuck
He got you.
