The Underrated

So underrated it can be irritating at times, but when I think about it those are the ones in the spot light. No one can appreciate good talent if their minds aren't open for it. Speaking the truth for some is overrated so they deny the facts to keep from hurting because they are used to hearing, reading, and watching things that talk about nothing. What will you know if you retain information that gets you nowhere, and what will you gain if you aren't open to receive positive information. learning is an everyday process it will not stop after college, paying attention to the things that matter will help you grow as a human, but will also give you the knowledge you need to help you get through your everyday life's lessons

The historical Figure

The grace that he portrays while finding his way in this world is honorable,

The many things he creates to make a living is his determination to live and succeed,

He is what holds his family up; he is the strength, the provider, and the protector of his loved ones, and the one uplifting his community,

To me he is an historical figure someone that lives beyond material gain, and loves to give in order to see others happy,
His honesty brings respect and love to his people,
He is the first to jump up and stand up for the rights of those who can’t,
He brings relevant facts and evidence to the table to prove his point to those who cover up false truths,
He is not afraid to learn what he doesn’t know,
He acknowledges those who’s willing to pick up a book to learn for centuries to come,
He is always looking for ways to help better his community,
He encourages others to jump in and help a historical figure is what he is,
His actions, commitment, and devotion to providing a safe, and healthy life for everyone is quite evident,

In Love

How I wish I could fill the sun every time I wake up,
And the brush of his skin when I walk by,

It would be nice not having to worry about being lonely or waiting for the right man to hold me through the day and night,

Oh how I long for the fill of his heart beat when we hug and to see his smile in the morning after waking up,

He makes me feel so special with those constant I love you bear hugs,
I guess I’m in love well I would be if I wasn’t in love with the thought of being in love.

A Writers Block

My mind is blank I can’t think,
I’ll start scribbling words on a piece of paper to come up with something,
Asking other peoples opinion about different writing topics but they’re no help when it comes to that subject,
Tearing out sheets of paper because I’m not satisfied with the outcome,
What will I do now?
I guess I’ll start looking around different areas of the neighborhood for some type of inspiration,
Nothing much there my mind is still clear,
Next I’ll just start talking to people about their challenges Yes a little something,
Little bulb, “I know what to do!”
Write about not writing at all I must be bored,
Where did that Idea come from,

Gossip

She makes unnecessary comments; he adds his two sense to it
She mixes up the words of the other person,
He gives more excitement to the first statement that was originally mentioned to her
They must be tedious
Isn’t there anything else to do besides gossip?
I guess not Lets’ bring in others so that they too can have something to say about her,
It fun , but wait I figure it wouldn’t be if you were the one they were all making fun of,

A mother’s letter

To my unborn child you are the light that shines within me,
Thank god for giving you to me,
My spirit smiles when I think about seeing your little face,
I can’t wait until you enter the world,
I’ve prepared for your entrance,
There is so much I want to teach you,
You are a gem worthy to be loved, and cared for,
Your father strives every day to obtain the things you need while I'm home nesting awaiting your arrival,
You have a lot of family waiting to meet you,
Everyone is home waiting by the phone ready to drive to the hospital when they receive that call letting them know that you are on the way,
I am sure the world is ready to see what you have in store for them,

Love, Mommy

Think/Feel

To live life unaware of time and its actions is hard so
As I sit here on this stair way watching cars go by and people giving me awkward stares I think about the time when I was one of them,
Judging a homeless person saying it’s his fault he’s in that predicament, and how he shouldn’t have done what he did.
Then my heart drops I start to feel a headache coming thinking of how I was then and if I’ve changed sense,
Still sitting here I’ve wondered about my out of control habits, and destructive ways I start to feel like my chances are being numbered,
Then I think about my mother and how it would hurt her to see her baby on the streets,
my heart starts getting heavy thinking of her voice and having enough food to eat,
I wondered if I should’ve stayed with her instead of this person who I thought was a friend,
I began to cry holding my hands over my eyes while these people stroll right on by,
I thought about the time when my friend and I went for a walk they decided to kick this homeless person in the chin,
I wondered could this be my punishment for not stopping them,
I’ve gained just enough strength to get up after this little girl did the same,
then I started to think life sure has a way of making you pay for the decisions you’ve made,
I then started to smile realizing that I gave up half of my life for judging a homeless person and how he might have not known that he would be in that position,
I began to pray and think him for opening my eyes because he helped me realize that just because someone’s homeless doesn’t mean it’s on purpose,
This man decided to approach me as I sat on the bench near the highway,
He asked if he could have a set then he said, "you look so familiar to me",
I asked who he was; he said, "I was waiting for an opportunity to tell you how you’ve helped me by not stopping that person who kicked me in my chin way back when you all were walking,"
How could you’ve remember that far back I only remember parts of that,
He said, "I think about it every day know I get a chance to say I forgive you and them,
I’m now married with 3 kids and a job I’m able to keep; I’m happy"
I started feeling embarrassed all I could do is sit there holding back another batch of tears while i apologized,
He said, "don’t you can’t change what happened,"
As he walked away he said, "Just remember one thing just because you’re homeless doesn’t mean that your hopeless get up and start again your life is still going."

The Right to Write

I have the right to write and express what's in my heart,

Writing about love and things that may tear me apart,

ongoing situations, and love that pops up on occasions,

writing about the things observed from outside influences,

to me its medication for the heart,

writing frees the emotions within, and helps me let go of horrible trials,

reminiscing about the many triumphs that's been achieved by me or somebody else

no one can say what’s right or wrong about the way I express myself

that gives me the freedom I so crave,

I enjoy writing even when the time to do it is limited, because I know that I can always comeback to it,

Writing is freedom of expression, and no one can take the right from me,

I will continue to write until my heart is set free from the locks and chains of today’s emotional strains

Because it is my Right to Write

U.G.L.Y

U-is for the unbelievable things people say to get their way
G-is for those many young girls looking to someone for inspiration in helping them to heal and grow
L- Is for The many lovely things in life that can be fun to do to keep your mind off of being stressed
Y- Is for being yourself, and not looking for anyone to define you
If being ugly is not the most desirable thing in the world I don’t mind it
I am me Unique, Giving, Lovely, and most importantly I’m young, and growing

to inspire others to love, live, and fell free to be ordinary

Stand up

stand up for what you believe in,
don't take discrimination, hatred, or miss-treatment from any individual groups for income,

I will stand because my dignity is worth more than money,
my sanity is worth more than what any job could offer me,

Stand Up and be strong even if you are standing alone,
Stand Up because someone is looking for you to guide them through their trials and tribulations,

Don't be afraid to stand up, Don't let anyone intimidate you from getting the respect you so deserve,

they may alienate you, talk down to you, or even degrade you, but god is with you to make sure no harm is done,

As long as you know who you are that's all that should matter,
stand up and smile because this trial is only temporary,

Stand Up for Life, Love, and your individual beliefs

STAND UP because You are Worth More Than money
