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."

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

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 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,

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.

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,

God over any squad

The love of god is greater than anything physical, or material,
His love runs deep embedded like rhinestones in your soul,
If you believe that he is the one and only spiritual person that keeps you afloat, or free from difficulties,
Then you would be willing to put him before any squad that makes you sacrifice your own spiritual enlightenment and emotional health in order to make the squad leader satisfied,
I refused to be like the walking dead a zombie going about my everyday life unaware of how much today’s economy has put on my mental state,
God come first in my eyes he makes my spirit free from the stresses of today’s society
No squad can do that for me they may offer me temporary security, but no one can secure my safety better than god can,
Squads turn against each other; god never turns his back on those who trust in him,
simple things can make a squad want to hurt you, God knows that you are only human and will allow you to make mistake in order to learn,

Beauties Disguises

beauty is just a disguise to hide the soul inside,

whether pretty or drained out,

you'll never know how beautiful some one really is
unless they open there hearts and let you in,

looks is not what beauty is all about,

only love can declare whats beautiful,

the soul of a human being with a spirit that smiles,

someone who doesnt show hate and gives to others with a love so strong,

That is beauty all in its own.

Innocence

in my world there's always love I like watching mommy put on her makeup,

I ask mommy about the red stuff on her face she smiles and tells me that it's something called lipstick whatever that is.

after playing dress up I hear daddy call for me "come on sally give me a hug before I leave" I Jump in his arms to give him a hug as I pull away I ask daddy "why are you dressed like that" as he stands he smiles and says this is what I wear to work.

Would I have to wear that when I grow up, I replied. He laughs and tells me "No baby you are a girl only little boys would have to wear this when they grow up"

as I wonder about what I would have to wear, daddy tells me to have a good day, and then he says by to mommy.

she walks out with that red stuff on her face, and said "by honey" that confused me, because daddy doesn't look like honey

as she strapped me in my car seat I asked mommy why she called daddy honey; she paused for a minute then told me don't worry about it baby

when we got to my school she walked me to class and said goodbye behave

my days are spent learning my ABC's and playing with my classmates on the playground at recess,

sweet, pure, and clean spinning around in the sand smiling so carefree. I'm dizzy from all of that twirling

no worries at all I'm young, and having too much fun.

I Will

I will be the person I want to be despite what others choose to see.

I will have self-confidence and high self-esteem regardless of what they say about me.

I will create my own identity I will not let anyone create one for me

I will push myself to succeed to be the best I can be without letting negativity drawn me

I will be positive and block out the doubts thrown at me

I will be a positive role model for people and children I see on a daily

I will be strong despite my past, and current challenges.

I will be honest to those who matter most to me

I will do what’s right to gain a good self-image

I will admit my faults I know this is all a part of growing up.

I will see the difference between constructive and negative criticism

these are just some of the things I will do to help me grow as a human being but most of all

I will pray and think god for my life, the good people I have and will have in my future, and the necessities surrounding me.
