Work on you brand God intended for you.
Focus building a team with the same goals as you.

Become an asset with your spouse who believes in your creativity.
Don't come around if you're only a liability.

Key to success is faith, focus, & being fierce.
Not a "9-5" job that includes a 4-year degree.

At the end of the day,
It really is what you know & who you know that becomes important.
Pay attention to all signs & don't forget this message in the morning.

show me love
that isn’t shaky
when it panics
& doesn’t vanish
into thin dust
show me love
that will never be misleading
with false beliefs

I PRAY

THROUGH THIS POEM,
YOUR SOUL CONTINUES TO BE LIFTED

I PRAY THAT YOUR GIFT FROM GOD MOVES OTHERS SO THEY CAN BECOME A WITNESS

I PRAY THAT DARK DAYS SHORTEN
& BRIGHTER DAYS LIGHTEN

I PRAY YOU NEVER FALL
INTO THE DEVIL’S WORLD

I PRAY THAT YOU SEE YOUR HAPPINESS IS MY JOY & MY JOY IS YOUR HAPPINESS.
NEVER A WEAKNESS

I PRAY THAT YOUR SKIN STAY SMOOTH &
YOUR APPEARANCE STAY YOUNG LIKE THE YOUTH

I PRAY THAT YOU GIVE A **** ABOUT YOURSELF MORE

I PRAY THAT YOU MAKE MONEY

I PRAY THAT YOU CONTINUE TO NEVER BACK DOWN FROM ANYBODY

I PRAY THAT YOU NEVER WASTE AN OPPORTUNITY

I PRAY THAT WHEN YOUR KIDS GROW UP,
THEY GET TO WITNESS AN AMAZING LIFE WITH BOTH PARENTS BY THEIR SIDE

I PRAY THIS SELF-VOICE WITHIN YOU GIVE YOU MOTIVATION

but you see my dear, my sweet,
you always stood so far away,
I've not a bow to reach you like he,
not one arrow or a sight for aim like he,
I've only this stinger which even then,
needs you to be very close to strike
but what I lack in range I gain in what lingers,
a toxin that seeks your rivers of blood,
so to be inside of you, to traverse all within you,
to pump into your heart
as you gasp from pleasure, from pain and all the realms in between
as you slip out of consciousness,
I watch you as your eyes close.
