Free Me .. LikeCatToTree

I'm at that point in life
Where the only person that can move me
Is in a higher position ...
I'm like that cat in the tree
The person that can rescue me
Is in a higher position to do so
Compared to those who surround the tree.

Violate .. Annihilate.

For a heart that scares so easily

You're running around the world,

No chains attached to you

So you have no boundaries

You then had the audacity to invade my house

Went ahead like a space raider and

Stole my courage from it's position

Thoughts running through my mind, I ponder

Will I grace these moments to see the next

Can I make each day, that the sun rises

Does violence now look for an apartment

On the property market in the future

How can this heart question

While the mind dares to think

Each day a seed is planted, in hope it flourishes

It grows in fear of the world and weeds

Planted to bring destruction

Will you let it go or keep on with your flow

I done spent a long while, just getting by

Do me the favor and let me know

Will you let my kids observe the beauty in the world

Do you ?? Hope to one day man up

So make yourself scarier than you are

Bring a pure heart, and place it peacefully

In an instance devoured by the reality

Of your search to wake up and disrupt dreams

Yes ! You Can Do It ..

If you have the desire
You have the ability to achieve it
So you have to ensure that you think
With a broadened and open mind
Think with the mind of an entrepreneur,
A developer, an investor
You must have the ability to see what
Can't be seen with a normal mind
You must think so that you can feel
Sometimes your haters see your potential
Much more clearer than you can see it for yourself
So when they delay and try to change your mind
You think they're doing you some good
Whilst they are cutting you short of seeing the end result

Now you have to be the one to realize
That your end is not where you stand
There is no way that you will die in the same
Small-minded mindset that you started off with
If you were destined to be the inspiration for
Other minds to gain ideas and create the impossible

Contentment

Sometimes the best way forward is to be content

To ease the troubles of thinking about what we don't have

And instead appreciate what we have that another may not

It's sometimes best to think that we came into this world with nothing

And will surely leave with nothing but our marks on the world

Note that you may not be where you want to be today

But you are not where you used to be, that is evidence of progress

Maybe not progress at the speed which you may want

But a speed good enough for you to learn and appreciate what is yet to come

To think that we have food, drinks, life, sweet smelling meatloaf or whatever it may be

Should be enough to encourage us and fill us with contentment

It is sometimes the case where riches can get to the head of a man to an extent

Where he is no longer quick to caution himself and falls in to all sorts

Of temptations that eventually lead him into a web of destruction

How does it benefit you if I gave you everything you've ever wanted today

For you to wake up tomorrow so full of sorrow

Feeling that you had gained everything you wanted just to lose yourself

So today take a stand, a stand away from the things that do not

Bring you peace, love, joy or happiness and

Instead turn in the way that profits you everything and loses you nothing

That everyday you live is another reason just to tell yourself ;

" I made it through today, I can make it through another day. "

Cheesylove.com

The first day unlike the last

The first love incomparable to the next

A feeling of butterflies that I knew would never last

I must have tripped on my shoestrings times over

He was the harpist to play on my heartstrings

He looked at me and weighed the values

What spread across and up into my cheeks

Or the configuration nicely worked and presented

... From head to toe

There was a puzzle I was yet to solve

How could I be whipped over this dude time and time again

And how could I love him and hate him in an instant

What was his magic, what was his craft

I could swear he had played me so many times

That I wouldn't know better than to let him

But once again I could resist his package

I liked him but I didn't love him

I daydreamed but my eyes never fixated on him

Thoughts of him pondered my mind

The faintest memories felt like a mirage

The funniest moment, a major slip

I slipped and slid like a soul train

When I saw him coming

I couldn't stand to look into his pretty brown eyes

Like mine they were lighter in the sun

A treasure of sentimental value,

Well at least for my recent infatuation

I thought therefore I did not feel
I was in brief hypnosis brought back down to earth
By the very feelings that had taken me up
I couldn't deny, I liked this feeling
For a little while I wasn't me
I was that soft centred chic
My insides warmed as he sat down with me to have lunch
I stared at my jello pudding like it was more interesting
I guess he caught on because he spoke
Oh my the way I played the melody of his voice in my head
I replayed it to the extent I think I made a mental remix
There was a closeness that grew between us
He made me feel like the girl no one noticed
Yet he made me feel like his one and only
How could he not notice me but know my every move
How could I feel so warmed yet I was able to act like I was cold
Was it time to come to terms that I pushed away
In the search to be pulled back by an emotion
Or maybe he would replace the emotion
Maybe our feelings could be mutual
So no presence of a dissociation constant
Maybe we would fall in love
I raised my head, our eyes met
Oh boy did I feel butterflies in my stomach
In my feet, my hands all sensations were numbed

Kindergarten to College

Not too long ago I was in your shoes
3 years old long curly gold-brown hair
Attending kindergarten
Then progressed onto elementary school
Got through to junior high;
Things got better and my grades less embarrassing.
Then came senior high, had its ups and downs but
I sailed through now doing big things
In college tryna fight for my place
Show that I'm worth the fight,
The story continues ....

My President ... #anotherterm

I'm so happy that President Barack Obama, was elected for another term. I trust that he will not disappoint his country but rather reconstruct and solidify current foundations of those who felt that four years was enough to judge his abilities. I feel he did a great job and has more great work to come.

- What a beautiful 1st Family !!

Past Happenings ♥

She didn't mean to make a brotha feel alien

When she said or did things,

Past happenings have caused her to react

The way she does unconsciously

And once again she apologizes

You had to be her to fit these sweats

These sweats, these weights

That she has been forced to carry

Due to no fault of her own

Fear !

A thief in the time of despair

In all the years of my life up until today

I never realized how much I had cut my self short of opportunities

Because of fear of what was or what could be ?

When you have a goal and place you want to see yourself

You must push fear aside

It steals your today by making you worry about tomorrow

One thing is for sure that God has already taken care of tomorrow

So enjoy today and let tomorrow sort its self out !

I have learned that things never come easy for someone like me

But if I genuinely work my hardest and put faith first

I'll observe that good things come to those who wait

Fear still steals my youth while I work for my place at the top

It either worries me about failure or success

It makes me place less value on myself, giving a sense of unworthiness

Places me in a position where I no longer feel confident

Dévise

Life itself is a journey, a race

We spend too long thinking about getting back at rivals

We forget to grasp the true essence of ..

Of what it means to be much alive and well

How much it should mean to be in a position

Far from rock bottom, from the dust of the well

From the creeps of a cemetery which lays stone cold

Where some of our loved ones bodies rest in peace

To forget what brought us down and focus on what lifts

Your spirit high among the clouds

For your life brings joy to the heavens

Each time you defy the odds placed on you by haters

Observing but not heeding to the doubts of onlookers

Dangerous Occurrences

It will take some time to recover

On this street of dangerous occurrences,

My pain turns to anger

Whilst friends turn to strangers

How did I manage

To get my train above track

Sweetheart ♥

I sit back and wonder About the configuration of that life,
Like a high-school sweetheart .. crush I miss you much ..
But I guess it was about time
To graduate from that class

One Life

Struggles faced in one's life,

Causes them to defer decisions

Sometimes but they eventually

Come through after recovery

Wednesday, October 17, 2012

The Way

I love the way

That you find such comfort

In knowing

That no matter

What decisions or judgement is

Made today, you only count

The one that matters most

My mind ..

In my mind I'm still a little girl
But to world and family I'm a successful woman
A great woman of substance
A woman too relevant to be ignored
I have been called the salt of the earth
And have been seen as the light of the world
My success way beyond any set ambition
My impact beyond human imagination
Ambitions I once had, visions I had for my life once dreams
Now, living reality to the advantage of the world that surrounds me
They see me as an eagle
Well focused and great, impacted nations
Missions achieved to the glory of God
But all this is no surprise
A wise one once told me that nothing is impossible
The word itself says I'm possible
Took this into account as people tried to get to me negatively
And lived by this philosophy ever since

" I can have what I want, be what I want as long as I fulfill my purpose "

They call me chosen generation
A royal priesthood, I always knew
But I look back to see that ...
I frowned, when I should have smiled
I questioned, when I should have agreed
I listened, when I should have spoken

It's Called Life ..

Yes she was more of the artistic type
But she felt the need to educate herself
For the time when the world would decide
That it was time to push her aside and throw her
So for the time when this comes to pass
She'll be able to dust herself off
And get back up again

The Reality .

This is the pain of yesterday
One I cannot forget
So painful ...
It feels like a thousand needles
Dug into my flesh all at once
This is the reality

Not seen in books, movies or magazines
This is what the recovered won't tell you
More or less it is hidden within their smile
This . is . the . reality .
Pain so deep I can hear them weep
Like a thousand needles dug in
all .. at .. once

Lay Your Heart Here ...

Give me your hand
A tool of success, evidence of hard work
A hold of integrity
Reach a multitude, shake the masses
Meet and greet with a lost soul
Assurance of dealership without procrastination
Y'eah keep the customer happy
A strong individual beyond human measure
Riches that can't be defined by coins ..
But by the integrity of a heart
Benefits gained by the immense effort of such skillful appendages
In these hands I see a strong grasp that once kept a man alive
I see what was once rags has now become a currency
One you possess in many accounts
I see my motto in you

" Merchant by trade but servant by heart "

You're running your race to benefit others
Trying to be something great and useful to your world
An unforgettable memory within the minds of your folks

Snippet .. x

It's not a waste of time to reach out to you

But rather it conjures up joy in my soul

And my insides feel butterflies like a new found crush

Nor does it take a pound of flesh out of me

You came

You came and planted weeds to destroy

You kept on cursing, you kept on scolding

You left her with unanswered questions

You tweaked at her heart like a game of operation

Her soul had been damaged, her happiness shattered

With her voice she'd sing, with his she'd touch other lives

You always came along to destroy all good

With her heart you made me carry the pain

With her eyes you cause tears to turn into weeping

Whenever you came along to worsen her sorrow

She would begin to self-mutilate and bleed;

From her soul ..

You caused her to cry out, when things became difficult to handle

Suffering

When the voice shouts
And the echo screams
When the wind hustles
And the nose has the sniffles
When the heart is determined
And the brain is confused
You have these dull years with those dark days
When the rain falls
The river breaks drip .. drip .. drip
When that first step is taken
The fall was not planned but mistaken
It had to be when the body was suffering
That they brought burnt offerings
Which he knew was his mother's ashes

Blameless .. What Ifs

Needles to say, without a doubt
I had a need for you much more
Lost days, wasted years, continuous tears
Just trying to find the one I thought meant forever
Held you in my heart, real close
Always had encouraged you to do your own thing
Appreciated the way you did things
But never in a million years did I think ...

It would cost such separation for such a long period
So many what ifs, to work out what happened
I blamed myself so many times for your departure
Only to find my wise words, made your wings spread
Worried times over, placing unnecessary burdens
Thinking of the worst, surely wasn't best
Surely turned out to be worth my while
Waiting on you to start off where we left off
Turn the pages read my four page letter
See it took a while .. to express my feelings in words
Everytime I tried it just sounded worst

Where It Resides

As my speech is where my mouth resides
As my hearing where my ears reside
My sight where the eyes position
The scents to my nose transition

I on earth use it as soil
Placed in my hand a seed to plant
To be nurtured, to carry on
Produce fruit

My legs to sustain my travels
Lands that remain unvisited
Waiting for interest like mine to discover them
For favor like mine to bring blessings

Power like mine to bring change

Let's Call It ..

You look at me and see a skin tone

But what you see is in-situ

Look deeper than the surface
You may learn a thing or two

This place you'll come to, not faced with strangers
But rather friends you've never met before

Create space for something different
