I have let the devil distract me
It came in form of
Friends, wine, smoke, drugs, preachers, women, fun.
It came in the form of sweet things.

I am tired of being happy . I want to be sad to conscious

whats on your mind?

Do you really want to know?
Or you are just asking cos you bored?
Well, it depends.
I have a lot on my mind, just don't know where to start from.
I wish i was unconscious to say it all so I hide anything, or feel shameless.
I am thinking of how to change and be a better person.
Don't want to be a selfish person anymore...stop being manipulative and opportunistic.
I want to practice what i preach.
I want to walk freely without hiding or passing other routes.
Love truly and be a good friend.
I want to feel free wild and young.
Living my life.
I want to travel to somewhere new so that i can feel like new.
Be different.... More eccentric.
I will do the right things this time because nobody knows me here.
Be a new person, start afresh.
Preach possibility and be positive anywhere that i go and with whom i come in contact with.
This is whats on my mind.

Don't Drink The Kool-Aid

Don't Drink The Kool-Aid

Don't drink the Kool-Aid
That's a phrase you'll sometimes hear
It means don't believe every word
And don't live your life in fear

Don't walk around with blinders
Try to see the other side
You can listen to what others say
But make up your own mind

You do not have to follow
When someone makes a stand
There are many different points of view
Each side must get a chance

Your opinion may just matter
To no one else but you
The experience of a persons life
Creates their point of view

So don't drink the Kool-Aid
You can't believe all that you hear
Dont trust someone blindly
And don't live your life in fear

Don't drink the Kool-Aid

For all the younger poets who may not know this. The phrase Don't drink the Kool-Aid was started because of the November 18, 1978 massacre when 918 people who were followers of preacher Jim Jones who while at a religious compound in Guyana drank Kool-Aid or a flovored drink laced with cyanide. It is believed that for many of these followers the drinking of this poison was voluntary. Followers believed this one man so much that they were willing to give their own children poison. Since then this phrase has gained acceptance as meaning dont follow blindly.

Momma

I will always come wearing a smile on my face
Whenever you call me by my name
Don't worry be happy.
You can count on me good days, bad days
Just call on me and my smile would put a smile on your face.
I will tell you what you need to hear and what you want to hear don't worry be happy.
I promise from this day henceforth.

To my mom.
