Alone In the Dark

Alone in the dark place,
My heart is broken into scattered pieces,
As I enter the darkness,
I can feel hope slowing evaporating from me,
My eyes hang low, my neck is stiff, my head feels heavy,
Slumped down in a drunken stance,
My soul dances thru the mist of the forgotten.
I know no rest, only heavily carried burdens,
Trapped in my enemy’s pit of lies,
Seeking to be rescued by an unchanging love, a gentle hand.
Yet, no one sees the forgotten,
they are lost in a sea of drowning tears and sorrow.
But, I knew from the beginning, where I'd end up,
Like an old worn out shoe, or a piece of ripped fabric,
a crumbled-up piece of paper scribbled with thoughts,
tossed away in the dumpster of lost moments.
Tomorrow looks so bleak, I cannot see what dare lie ahead of me,
Who can comfort me?
Will I perish into the depths of the forgotten ones?
When will my deliverer come?
Who then must be my anchor?
While I’m alone in the dark place.

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
