I Will


So weary was I,
that my eyes were blinded
and I could not see my way.

Trouble seemed to meet me at
the door, every single day.

Trials and tribulations escorted
me every where I went.

Until one day,
the darkness broke,
the storm was moved
and the pathway was made clear.

I heard the voice of thunder speak to me;
and no it was not a dream,
although it seemed.

I was wide awake in the midnight hour
when a voice spoke to me:

"Rise up, child, and walk with me. I am your
guide in the darkness. I will lighten your heavy
load. I will carry your burdens. I will calm your
fears. I will heal your wounds. I will ease your pain.
I will cover you. I will uplift you. I will comfort you.
I will never leave nor forsake you, because I love you."

And with that being said,
I felt a strong sense of peace come over me.
My heart was made glad and my soul rejoiced.
For the Lord our God has saved me,
and now I am free!

Unity

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

What Do You Believe?

In 2019, I took a psychology class. It was a very interesting and complex subject. However, as the class went along, I began to grasp certain things about human life, thoughts and reality. One of the assignments was to select a topic to develop an argument. I wrote an essay regarding Rene Descartes' philosophical views about innate ideas and the knowledge through God. I received an "A" on the essay below: For this assignment, I will discuss my belief that Descartes’ Cogito arguments concerning God, human existence and knowledge itself is somewhat of a successful argument. I will begin by constructing the argument, followed by discussion of its significance. Next, I will discuss reasons the argument is successful. I will then consider possible objections to my beliefs and how I would respond to them. Lastly, I will summarize the contents of this paper, showing what has been accomplished by my analysis. Descartes wanted to find a philosophical determination for the evid

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.
