Decades
For
decades,
I faced
rage,
head on,
face to face,

We made
eye contact,
I stared evil
in the face,
evil went
insane

Emotionally
exhausted
from facing
evil in the eye
,no shade ,

evil shadow
made me
cry out
in praise

        For decades
I was trapped
in a closet,
I became a
stranger
in my own skin

        For decades
I began to
forget about
who I was,I
lost my
inner fear,
I became
vulnerable,

weakling
with cheer,
heartless,
I fought back
with rage

      For decades
evil destroyed
my wrath,
I pointed fingers,
I blamed ,
until one-day
reality struck,

for a quick
second I lost
insight on
what was
most important
, forgiveness,
revenge ,
God promises

For decades
I put it in
God's hands,
I prayed,
I overcame

When Silence Prevails
When silence
prevails,rising
angel's sing,
Shining star's
cling.

When silence
prevails,energy
shifting, birds
chirping,loud
winds roaring

When silence
prevails, heaven
rings, silence
croon,the sun
gleams strong.

When silence
prevails, my
voice leap's
Three silent
bird's peeps,

God speaks
the end of
my journey
on earth
heaven
brings
fourth new
meaning

When silence
prevails, I'm
near close
by,

everytime
you hear your
heart beat,
beating low,
beating high,
think of me.

When silence
prevails, I'm
rising drifting
peacefully.

Run deep
When the river run deep,
          don't take it personal just
because you're not qualified for my worth
    
              My deepest sympathy  for
           you is just about as much
   respect as you have for yourself,my deepest regret

               When the river run dry ,all bridges burn,the base get strong,no longer running living with regret, feeling like I'm running a race, I'm above it all

             When the river run dry
      not one tear drop will I shed,I lost all respect for you since day one, still i put all my selfish thoughts on the line, knowing you weren't worth my time, petty attention, ungodly vibes, trying to fit in where you never began

             When the river run dry
             have you lost your mind,
            i never came chasing for
            your love, sure I offered mines but it was never written in stone that you were my favorite

       To many unknown  
       competition's that's lurking
      around,not enough love going
      around

At all times
it never fails  it always amazes me
real dreams are made out of God's pure love
I always appreciate the best in him
you win and then  you lose some at all times , at all times,at all times at all times  like a falling star you live  you learn at all times ,at all times ,at all times at all times
and then you get up and try again that's just how goes
then you rise up above it all that's only if you choose at all times
through thick and thin you shall rise at all times
when you're obeying God you will come to find  that God is closer than you imagine he's always by your side his love is unconditional  at all times at all times
at all times, at all times times at all times

Born Distinctively Everyday
know one
wants to
ever agonize
that pain,

Few suffer
distinctively
  many suffer
equally,  

We
didn't ask to be
born this way
life testimony


Born
distinctively
everyday  we learn
to adjust,

We grow, we rise,
we succeed
just like any other
human being



Born
distinctively
everyday we
exist,

We're
not invisible
  we're  no
different from
the next.

Born  
distinctively
everyday
we come in
many colors,


Different  shapes
forms and sizes
our lives matter
we cherish every
moment,

Every
moment we
survive  it's not
just a blessing  for
most it's a miracle


Born distinctively
everyday,
  don't let
your disability
define
you, or what
you can
accomplish      


We may
have been
born distinctively
from others ,


What we
understand
others can't
define for
the different

Vitality
My vitality has been quite a voyage.

And attainments I have attained throughout my life.

That most people couldn't and wouldn't understand,
unless they have walked in my roots,

It's not that simple,

it's not just some minor cut that bleeds out in pain,

Merely one can imagine how far life can fetch you.

For better or worst, most

Incredible specialties are worth the endeavor.

And patience is worth time itself.

Life is a blessing,

The best is yet to come.


So never sell yourself short of integrity.

Energy
When one speaks of love emanating directly from the essence, it is a consequence that instructs careful deliberation.

As the sanity surrenders itself to the depths of emotion, a sense of sorrow may envelop it, leading to a profound introspection.

In this state, the imagination takes flight, traversing the vast expanse of our innermost being, unencumbered by any reservations.

It is a fascinating phenomenon to observe the growth of one's heart as the soul finds solace in the depths of its existence.

The mind, in its infinite wisdom, can only comprehend that which it has informed of, and thus, it holds dear the values that are deemed significant to the soul.

Anxiety Untold
As worry and stress consume the air, constantly pulling at me.

Nervous thoughts take over my mind, dancing with a frenetic beat.

Tying knots in my stomach, a relentless feat.

Breathing becomes shallow as my heart starts to race.

Anxiety tightens its grip, leaving traces of deceit.

The world becomes heavy, a burden to bear, as worries and stress consume the air.

Each decision feels daunting, each step unsure. Anxiety's grip on life is hard to endure.
A Poem about anxiety
Yo, time's a trip, man, an endless river flowin',
Changin' everythang, from the seed to the growin'.
Moments slippin' by, like sand through our fingers,
Leavin' memories behind, like whispers in the wind, man.

Time's a beast, ain't nothin' stoppin' its roll,
Unleashin' the past, present, and future in one soul.
It weaves a tapestry, intricate and grand,
Connectin' us all, hand in hand.

So let's ride the waves, embrace the unknown,
Time's a gift, man, a seed to be sown.
Plant it deep,
watch it bloom and grow,
Let the river of time forever flow.
A poem written in slang
