If Only

If I said I loved you,
would your heart be able to hear the words?
although I try to distance myself
from rejection, I can't help but be drawn to you
your soul whispers secrets to mine
only the wind can tell which direction
because both are oblivious
to one each others hidden conversations.
My imagination takes precedence
over reality sometimes, because
I am overwhelmed with what could be
or what might have been, but-
I have to check myself in the end.
And when I look into our eyes,
I see the love you have inside
and I wish it was mine.
To belong to you,
maybe that's too much to require or
maybe I'm trippin.
But what's so wrong with being in love?
Why are people so afraid of it?
Love will never hurt you yes, I know, sometimes people do.
It may be a risk, but when with benefits
Do you ever feel lonely?
If so, remember me.
I'll always be here.
Let love conquer your fears.
When it knocks, let it in
and let love begin.

Not Good Enough

What do you do, when you're not good enough, Your patience goes unnoticed, you're not appreciated and taken for granted? You are never forgiven, respected or appeased. You are merely the object of negative attention, put downs, reminded of your failures and shortcomings. Never to be desired, pleasing, protected or loved. Where do you go, when the gravel beneath your feet begins to slip and the pathway become cloudy, foggy and gray. What words can be said? What actions can you take? What sacrifice can you make? When you're not good enough, you always fall short and it seems you'll never meet the expectations.

Enter Not Into...

I have to constantly remind myself that some people are NOT worth me getting out of character for. It doesn’t matter who they are, what they are doing or what they may have said… they are not worth a reaction from me. Yes, it is easier said than to do. It takes practice, self-discipline and mental reminders not to give in to the negativity and stupidity of others. If find myself always having to correct myself or repent because of my words, thoughts or actions regarding how others make me feel. Sometimes I am so angry! I feel hatred in my heart. But, I know that isn’t right behavior. I am sure I am not alone with this struggle. All I can say is, it takes patience and effort on a daily basis to overcome and enter into a place of peace where you no longer react in a destructive manner, even though it may seem justified at the time. We have to remember that EVERYONE will be held accountable for their words, thoughts and actions ALONE. Therefore, stay in prayer and govern thyself according

Unity

Image
Recently I made the statement “black people are the only race that doesn’t unite.” I know a few people disagreed with me. For the ones who disagree, let me elaborate. I still stand by what I said. However, when I made that statement, what I was referring to was when things are NEGATIVE or BAD. The only time we are known to unite is when we feel we’ve been wronged or some sort of injustice has been imposed. Just as so many of us only pray to God when things are bad and forget about Him when things are good. For example, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, we protested together (but also tore up our own communities). Why does something horrific have to happen for us to unite? How come we don’t unite when things are going well? You may say we do. But, how often? Do we publicize it? Do we talk about it? Do we share it? I reflected on some of the other cultures, such as Caucasians, Asians and Hispanics. Can we, as black people, honestly say we are as united as some of the other cultures and/o
