Staying on my -I’m focused man- type grind/ They say they never met another like chick, I’m one of a kind/ see the stars in the sky, like them I shine/ and working hard for what I want/ I’m about to take over the world and make it mine.

The winner in me transformed the sinner in me. So when the world sees, they would never know where I've been without my testimony.

... A Few Years Old, But Can't Remember When

Spazing on pad with pen has become my only healthy outlet
My attempts to drink the pain away give room for negative decisions
My liquor vice gives me bad advise and I usually take heed
Walking directly into generational curses because I am my parents’ seed
Maybe I should pray more, but I feel guilty
And although there is no condemnation
I feel as though I have fallen too short
I need time to redeem myself
And that is contradictory to the fact that His blood has already redeemed me
I continually place myself in these situations
Of crucifying Christ again
Because I have been forgiven, yet return to the same sin
I am fully and irrationally double-minded
I see clearly, yet I am blinded

I dose 'em wit bits 'n pieces of my soul at a time
administered w/rhyme
I speak in parables like Jesus did
so follow these wonders & signs

Sweet savors of life's essence poetically flow to me

I changed the game, changed my name,

Switched the style up so much you notice me,

But familiar cats didn't even know it was me

Whatever Happened To....

women respecting themselves and falling in love with who God created them to be?
What happened to respecting yourself too much to allow a man (or woman nowadays) to mistreat you?
Why is the focus on needing a relationship rather than needing wholeness within oneself?
I see too many of my sisters, friends, women in general, settling to simply have someone to cling to
When these very women do not know who they are
They have not taken the time to get to know this awesome creature whom God handcrafted
They do not know that God has made them valuable and unique
That if they valued themselves as God values them, they would not settle for anything less than what HE has planned for them.
I am tired of seeing my sisters - women of any race, creed, color or religion - devaluing themselves
Wake up
Open your mind, heart, ears and know
Know that you were created for greatness
Know that no other person can place value on you because God already has
No other person can name you because God has
You were not formed from a mold
You were created individually and with a purpose
Only in the creator can the creation truly understand its worth
Sisters we have got to set a standard
If we demand respect, it will be given
Others only go as far as we allow them
Stand up and become who you were created to be

My pen & pad said they're sad 'cuz I been neglecting them lately. So I'm hopin these words still got love. I mean, I'm hoping they don't hate me

This feeling...

is something I cannot explain
or I simply do not want to dig deep enough to really understand
this feeling is something I cannot grasp
in my possession yet cannot wrap my hands
around this undefined emotion
words do it no justice
so my tears speak for me
yet they too are silent
because they are something the world will never see
