No one sees the pain that captivate me hear my cries hear my heart pounding and begging for a soul mate no one sees my dreams for a family shattering to the ground it’s my heart against my brain and my brain has won hiding myself from love and intimacy because of insecurities thinking back to things I can’t undo or change makes my pain worse slowly breaking down for the 100th time I think I might be at my breaking  point I try to stay strong and let go some days it work and other days it hurts ignore the hurt to be ok but there’s only so much I can bottle up sooner are later it’s gonna explode crying in my room again but I know tomorrow I’ll just ignore the pain again ripped to pieces no body sees this I give out advice make sure their alright  but I’m dying inside put on a strong face to keep everybody happy but deep inside I’m dying I check in to make sure your alright but ignore me at all times.

Sealed and shut tight just a door to open up I sit in this room for hours starring at these motionless walls I see them so much I can tell you what changed not social but I’m not scared I grow up a loner I can’t help it I’m not an open book you can’t tell who I am from one look just like my thoughts my life’s a mystery too  they try to understand me try to change me try to see thought me but I’m like a brick wall how will you see through me ? If these wall could talk they would tell you my heart

All she wanted was love, all she wanted was for someone to appreciate her for who she is for someone to care for her but all she got was pain,lies,and unnecessary drama

[  ] I smile cause I know what I've been through. Behind closed doors no one Saw the tears I've cried the cuts I've hidden my broken faith hear the prays I've cried to God asking him when is my time to heal? When is my time to stop struggling? When is my time to find peace ? You see the smile not the tears you see a smile but don't know what I've don't to get it. I do my best to make everyone feel good put a smile on their face the type of selflessness I give out without asking anything in return is hard to find. I stay locked away from the Dangers of the world not from the things but the people it's the only way I'll have some type of peace. The feeling of being alone but your not alone can eat you up inside push you to the edge ready to jump you give your all to just get punched in the heart again then left to clean it up and heal yourself again these hearts are hard to find but even harder to have cause of the pain it holds on to you give so much they give so little but you do it anyway knowing the outcome. You can't vent your problems cause your the person people come to for fixing there problems so you can't show weakness a person like you can't have problems? Right you have all the answers you have more faith than me so you struggle by yourself cause what else can you do

Confidence is not needing validation
Confidence is believing in yourself
Confidence is being alone and not feeling alone
Confidence is enjoying your own company
Confidence is accepting yourself even with the insecurities
Confidence is you you define your confidence you define your **** don’t let others do that for you
Confidence and **** is what you make it

Sometimes I feel like it’s bad being different like it isn’t gonna bring me anywhere
I think about my friends life and then mine all the things they’ve done I’ve either never did or did it once and never liked it
It almost makes me feel Like a child but I’m learning how to shut out the outside noise and to live my life the way god wants me to it’s a struggle sometimes but I have god with me to pull me through
God is always with you
Ashanti Sep 2021
God doesn’t rewrite the same story twice he switches it up for everyone  to achieve the same things but in a different way

strong enough to stand on my own two feet wise enough to know what's wrong and what's right young enough to do what I want but old enough to follow instruction bold enough to admit when I am wrong human enough to let go of the past.

Words can’t explain what my eyes have seen
The pain it holds
The tears it cried
One look in my eyes and you wouldn’t notice the pain nor the truth it hides
My eyes hold my secrets

In my fantasy I’m the center of attraction the one that calls the shots the queen of my fantasy world. In my reality I’m just a girl hidden away in my shadows trying to free the inner me the true me the me I wanna be not only in my head but also on the outside for you to see it one day that person will be set free from its prison but until then I’ll keep being the person I wanna be in my reality in my head.

Looking in all the wrong places to filled my disturbed heart
I find what I'm looking for but I'm not filled so I look for something else to take it's spot I need something stronger  something permanent to keep me from searching for something else so I found a higher greater spirit to fill my heart
I'm still learning how to depend on that spirit and only that spirit
Only God can fill you up
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father I pray that who ever sees this is filled in ever area of there life, amen
Ashanti Sep 2021

Today world isn’t save
People around you and far from you judge you everyday without even knowing you from the clothes you wear to the smile you wear on your face without reading into me you judge me for one mistake when you’ve made a million mistake with out even asking why I did it without even trying to understand why I did it without knowing the thoughts that was going through my head  that day. let me be don’t judge me for you have no right to we’re all human we are not perfect just like you I’ve made bad choices
Just like you I have regrets so what’s  makes you so special to pass your judgements upon to me when your just as human as I am

A lost soul looking for something or someone to make me a whole
You broke my heart left a painful pain in my chest ripped my heart out then left me like we never met then you expect me to be ok.
Not one call or text after you left you broke me into a million pieces you left me to wonder off alone in the forest you made fill with memory and pain every beautiful memory now pains me every passionate kiss now hurts me and every touch still lingers on my cold skin.
Ashanti Mar 2021
It’s crazy how our mind can cause so much trauma and disappointment our mind is our own worst fears. The lock of believe we have in ourselves has made us doubt everything we do we try our best but you think your best is not enough our minds are stuck on disappointment. You tried your best you did what you could that matters the only way to disappoint is when you don’t try at all.
Keep pushing it’s worth it you have a reason to keep going
Ashanti Aug 2021
Some people say just ignore it and move on but if you do that then you won’t heal from it you push it to that side and your happy for the moment but when it gets triggered you feel empty again it’s better to sit in your pain and deal with it then and only then you will be able to move on
#resting and returning
Pain is the gate way to god don’t turn

When I think about my god the favors and blessings on me my worries fade away like a writing in the sand when the water comes to give a visit I no longer have to fight my own battles cause you fight for me through hard times , good times and bad time you stick by me when I feel like your doing nothing for me you assure me so to day I leave my life to you cause I know I service a great god and I know you have a plan for me
God loves you ❤️

Father God, I recognize that lack of trust is ultimately a sign of pride, and so I ask you to uproot it remove the behavior and thought patterns that prevent me from recognizing and doing your will. Change the way I can take part in building your kingdom in Jesus name. Amen

My skin is a heritage that my ancestors blessed me with
They fought for our rights and risk their life’s so I can have independence.
Rich and dark like a sweet chocolate bar the sun shines on my skin makes it shimmer in the light
Behind this gorgeous skin theres way more than what you see.
Black is beautiful

Stress doesn't come from life I comes from your thoughts. Have you ever seen a person in a worst situation than you happier than ever? And it makes you think if that was me I would go crazy. The difference between you and that person is that person is making the best of it in life it depends on how you react to trials. A negative reaction gets a negative outcome a positive reaction gets a positive outcome. It's all about your mindset in life before you work out you have had to have your mindset on it either from the day before are when you got up. Sometimes you may think if I had more I would be more content truth is all the money in the world can't make you happy if you're not at peace with yourself. Its not about where you are it's where your going.
Have the mindset of a winner you didn't lose you ran out of time you didn't take a loss you learned lesson

You don't have to pretty up your words to talk to Jesus you don't need a strong vocabulary to get his attention it says in Matthew 6:7
“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phases as the gentiles do for they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Jesus is your friend so talk to him like one he wants to have a relationship with you. Here the great thing about Jesus and there are many amazing things about Jesus but let's focus on one now everyone is welcome to talk to Jesus he turns down no one no matter what you do or what you have said before you can talk to him
Wanna build your relationship with Jesus? Start by talking to him
Ashanti Aug 2021
I am not worthy of your blessing
I’ve fallen from your hand of glory
But you don’t see me for my sins
You see me as your child
You died on the cross to pay for my sins for that I’m thankful
Thank you for sending down your son to save us
Your name holds a power like no other I will bless your name

A little boy had a white rabbit he named it Charlie he found him in the back of this house when he was younger he have had it for so long that he became ungrateful and mistreated it one day he got away when he realized this he started to cry but it was too late
Moral of the story be grateful for the little stuff cause when it's gone your gonna regret it
