Sometimes people come into your life

and you know right away that they were meant to be there,

to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson,

or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.



You never know who these people may be.  Possibly your roommate or neighbour,

professor or long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger.

but when you lock eyes with them,  you know at that very moment

they will affect your life in some profound way.



And sometimes things happen to you

that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first,

but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles

you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.



Everything happens for a reason.

Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness,

and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.



Without these small tests, whatever they may be,

life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.

It would be safe and comfortable,

but dull and utterly pointless.



The people you meet who affect your life,

and the success and downfalls you experience,

help to create who you

are and who you become.



Even the bad experiences can be learned from.

In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart forgive them,

for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to when you open your heart.



If someone loves you,

love them back unconditionally,

Not only because they love you, but because in a way,

they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.



Make every day count.

Appreciate every moment and take from those moments

everything that you possibly can

for you may never be able to experience it again.



Talk to people that you have never talked to before,

and actually listen.

Walk the footsteps of a stranger

and you’ll learn things you never know.



Let yourself fall in love, break free,

and set your sights high.

Hold your head up because

you have every right to.



Tell yourself you are a great individual

and believe in yourself,

for if you don’t believe in yourself,

it will be hard for others to believe in you.



You can make of your life anything you wish.

Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

Dear God
Dear God, I need a miracle in my life right now. I never thought I’d ever place my trust in anyone or anything. I want to lean on you. I need to believe that you are there and that you care about me; that I matter. Please guide me steadily out of the pain and confusion that has been my life and into a new life of promise and hope. I simply and humbly ask for your protective hand to be on my life. Please keep me safe and from the destructive behavior that I’ve known so well. I’m yours God. Amen.

Love and be loved
One longs to love and to be loved
Just from the bottom of the heart;
Feelings that are hidden beneath
Yet, it's quite hard, how to start.

One longs to say and hear the words
Of love, care and respect;
Coming out of the heart's core
Forgetting all worries and suspect.

One longs to be near the dear one
Each second and every moment;
Hoping the time would pass forever
Sitting beside, silently, without any comment.

One longs to merge forever
With the complete spirit and soul;
To travel deep in timelessness
With the loved one - once for all.
When you love someone, you will do anything for them.
If the sound of your voice keeps them sane,
Then you would talk forever.
If the touch of your skin on theirs kept them happy,
You would hold them as tight as possible forever.
If it makes them happy for you to go away,
Then you would move to another country
Because you see,
When you love someone, you would do anything for them to be happy,
Even if it means you sacrifice your own happiness.
People always thinking
Stuff that is not Necessary
That’s not the only thing they
Do.
Some of them end up doing stuff
Is actually out there reach.
Than you end up looking at yourself
In the mirror.
Why, do I think
And do.
Oh, well
That’s is normal
That’s life.
Set your mind only
To the stuff
That’s actually necessary
To you.

I Want touch
Let put my hands all over
your body
Let me feel your sweat running
down your body.

Let me touch every bits of your body
Let me rub inch piece of your tone.

Inch  that neck
Touching your mouth
Touching from head to toe.

You want me to scream and call you daddy
This making me hot
Just touching

When I Ever Going To
Have a man
I could say
That’s my man
That’s I could come to
And be there for him
A man I don’t have to
Share with another woman
A man is only mine
Is there’s a man
For me out there
That I don’t have to share
If I gotta to share
My man with another woman
I don’t want it

From My Heart
My heart beating so fast right now
Its  me telling all kinds
Different emotions.
I feel happy and sad

There's so much
Going in my heart right
As I'm speaking.

Myself
If you don’t like
who I am or what
I’m doing with my
life that’s alright
for you; I am living
for myself.
When you’re not frankly honest within yourself
How do you think people will believe you or like you as humans being.
Anybody could take pictures of themselves
Say what they wanna say.
Anybody could dress up nice
Say they have this.
Everything holds within are eyes
The eyes don’t lie.
Anybody could walk out there’s the front door
But you're fast to look around
To make sure no one knows where you live.
It’s okay to dream.
To talk about it manifest like it’s real.
You're not being frankly honest with yourself.
To able, to tells
Lies.
Not only you fake from inside and outside
As well too.

My husband promises
I promise to be there for you always.

No matter what they are.
I promise to love you forever and eternally,
Wife-i still do
I promise that no matter where life takes me,
Wife- I still be around

A cute little girl
This little girl had changed my world with a blink of an eye
Something that I can not deny
I put my soul from worst to best
That why I treasure her my dearest
Sophia

She just don’t know what I have done for her
She even pushed me to the best that I can be
You really are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love

When I’m with her I will not cry even a single a tear
She gave me a life that I could live
worthwhile
Is even better every time she smiles

So magical those things you’ve made
To bring back my faith that almost fade
away
My life is a dream come true
It all began when I was loved by Sophia

I found what I am looking for
It’s you and your love and nothing more
Coz you have given me this feeling of contentment
In my life something I’ve never felt

Wish I could talk ‘til the end of day
Now I’m running out of things to say
I’ll end by the line you already know
I LOVE YOU” more than what I could show
This poem is about my daughter. I think I did a good job raising her.

Forgiveness
When betrayed and trust is broken, it takes a "Supreme" effort to trust again.  Both rely on the Lord's help if we are to live a full life...!

Also Forgiveness is always possible and is ABSOLUTELY necessary for our salvation.

I can forgive why not ...and forgetting it's totally  different story..so don't broke my trust.
Who like to keep it in the family
She **** your cousion
Than when out with her
Turn around dated one of
Your friend
While she’s still with you.
That’s not a woman
That’s a ***

Let Me Move On
It’s time we go are separate ways
You made your choice
I can’t just keep on waiting for something to happen.
If doesn’t work out whomever, you with.
You going to keep coming back.
I’m not stupid nor dumb
To fall into your games.
I’m not dumb to keep
Repeating everything you once had.
At first you don’t care.
Only care for your own self.
You need to let it go
You can’t keep blaming yourself
Something you has no control of it
Everyone of us
Goes through stuff in our life.
But if you lose wife, husband
You need to be strong
Not just for you
But for your own kids
They both up in heaven
Looking at you right now
Do you think
They are happy
What you odd you turn into
People we lost
You show them
You could be better than before
One in life
You never give up
And stop blaming yourself
If God has forgiven you
You need to forgive yourself
I been standing y’all
With all my problems
Had face all my Challenge.
Not once’s in my life
Life did me wrong
Is the people that
Always did me wrong.
Either they take my kindness
For granted.
They so jealous of me
They don’t know when to stop
Talking about me.

Why, say You lover her
When didn’t come from your heart?
There are two ways.
Saying I love you. Anybody could say
I love you, to anybody.
To say it to someone special.
It has to come from your heart.
Each time she say I love you
It’s coming from her heart.
Is your words coming from your heart.
You just say it, to make She feels good.
I stay low key
I don’t go out to the world
Not even to say hi.
99% I get annoyed so fast.
I just stay to myself
Either drawing or painting
Whatever may be the case
For that day
To me I feel if people
See me less
They cannot talk ****
Wait I’m wrong on that
They still will talk
Because people has nothing else to do with
There life.
I have a phone
But only few people know
My number
I don’t even go and gamble
Anymore.
It’s not that I gave uplife
I just don’t like to be accused
And be compared to
Someone else.
Maybe if I stayed inside
I don’t get in trouble.
Is not that I’m a trouble maker.
I’m very quiet person.

Nor get mad
I’m use to it.

Close your eyes
Sorry I can’t be with you today
If you close your eyes and think;
I’ll beside you in the bedroom
wearing your shirt-standing by the bathroom door

I’ll be with you in the living room
waiting quietly on your floor
Close your eyes and think of me,
relive those memories in your head.

Stand by you in the bathroom
an unlikely place to meet;
I’ll smile at you so playfully
as I let you brush my teeth

I’ll be your light in the darkness,
shining steady through and through
To know I think of you.

For sure I’ll be the music that you listen to,
For sure I’ll be there in your every song:
For sure I’ll laugh with you and sing with you,
and comfort you when your days gone wrong...

Completely
Give my love
And my heart to you.

Nothing going to get done.
So, Why?

A Good Woman
One you should treasure, but not as a possession,
Who needs to be loved, not treated with aggression.
Her value is more than all the world's treasures,
Not just the sum of scale's unit measures.
She should always be built up, not torn down,
By all the words you speak, when she is around.
She needs to be hugged and not pushed away,
Especially when you are both having a really bad day.
Words spoken to her in haste and anger
Can place her fragile heart in danger.
She should be admired for her boundless love,
And looked upon as a true gift from Above.
Not used as a target for all your frustration,
But held close and kissed with loving admiration.
You should always appreciate her commitment to you,
And not take for granted what she's given up for you!
Kiss her and love her all that you possibly can,
And don't be embarrassed to be seen holding her hand.
Treasure each day as if it were the last,
And at the end of your life you won't be regretting your past.
What May had happened in my past
I leave it alone.
I don’t dwell on the past.
The past it’s sad, to many painful memories.
Some of us hold on to the past.
Because they don’t wanna move on.
Some feed into there past.
Some use the past against you.
Why hold on to it.
What’s gives you in life about the past.
Do you know, why you dwell on
The past.

I will wear mask
In times of trouble and insanity
I carry mask to disguise
the pain I carry
secure behind my eyes

I can never let out again
the misery I hide
to hell with my dignity
to hell with my pride

From this day forward
and for ever more
I will mouth this mask
that will be my lore

No reaching out when I am weak
no solace will I seek

When you look for answers
When you say your prayers
all you will see is masks
and no pain that I bare

My child
Is mine
You cannot calm something
You deny
Long time ago.
You wasn’t there for her.
She’s more mine
Than yours.
She’s my blessing
She’s a gift
God gave me
I don’t wanna fall
In love again
It’s to much
Work.
I don’t wanna go through
It’s all over again.
I don’t feel
I’m that pretty
Sometimes I feel
I have to look good
Because of my smile
Gets in my way.
But I have a very
Pretty heart

Coward (2)
Coward

1) One who shows ignoble fear in the face of danger.
2) A person who shows a shameful lack of courage.
3) A person who shrinks from or avoids danger, pain or difficulty.

"Cowards may die many times before their deaths" - Shakespeare
"I can't do it, I'm not good enough, I'm a coward."
I love putting my friend on a test
To see where
They actually at.
I want to know
If they really my friend.
Because friends
Don’t care if you have money
Because friends
Will always be around you
Regardless if you are broke.
I only have a best friend.
That’s my granny.
She’s a true friend.

It’s His Fault
Why do you beat yourself up
because you had the courage to love,
gave all of yourself in hopes that he was the one?

Why do you beat yourself up
when it was his choice to be unfaithful,
his choice to hurt you?

Why do you beat yourself up,
knowing that you had done everything for him,
supported him, comforted him,
loved him more than you loved yourself?

Why, after his lies and deceit,
do you still love him and want him to love you?
Why, after the repeat of hurt and trust
being lost,
do you think that he deserves a love as
pure as yours?

Why, do you beat yourself up
over what you could have done better
when you know deep down there was nothing?

What makes will not change the past
not mend your broken heart?

Why, when man decides to cheat, do we
blame ourselves?
Why does it make us question every little
detail about who we are,
make us think that we are not worthy of love?

Why, when a man cheats, do we still long for him to change,
realize how wrong he was, and fall in love with us again?

Why do you beat yourself up,
when you deserve more,
when all that you have done is loved
someone completely?

Give yourself time, and the pain will subside
and the mourning will cease.
You will see that you are still you,
still wonderful, beautiful you

Nothing has changed except your
experience in love
and your determination to share love with another.

As you can never truly love someone
until you learn to love yourself.

Gone forever
Miss the times when you were here
telling me to have no fear
Hold my head up high and strong
add happy notes to my sad song

Miss the way you look at me
If I were to blind to see
Path I'm on might hurt and scathe
All goes well if you just have faith.

Miss the sound of your sweet voice
Bitter times a saving noise
Told me what was right and wrong
Rang in my ears for far too long

Caring person, you were such
Helped and hurt me, oh so much
Guide and mislead me through the day
Left me lonely when I'd rather you stay

Things like that you had no control
Rock set in motion will continue to roll
Matter how hard you tug and heave
Were always pushed and forced to leave

One day you never returned
Tears so hot they almost burned
Now about what I lack
Crying and mourning won't bring you back

Me to let out what I need to say
Can't do much more than pray
Longer am I weak, my hearts quite strong
Adding a happy chorus to a sad, sad song

Before I was totally a mess
I can’t think straight.
Lost a lot weight
Because someone especially
In my life. Broke my heart
Than

After all that had happened to me
I gotten a woken up by God
To open up my eyes
To see who am I really.
I found out
This isn’t me. I’m better than this
Good woman always win.
Now I’m putting on weight
I feel good  about myself.
Not stressing out
Because I could look at myself
On the mirror
My face looks good as
Well my body
