My Real Beast

I am strong and a "Jamaican Woman." Click here if you would like to hear track by Etana on #SoundCloud from her album
 - I RISE - 

Thinking back confusion,
Did not know how to bend.
Body weak cannot run,
Finally reached wits end.

Continued by faking,
What else for me to do?
Unable to disclose,
 Trusting God knew all true.

Trials and tribulations,
Each one safely survived.
Picked up every piece left,
Began feeling revived.

Situations of then,
Moved on to be released.
Carnal weapons that harm,
I discerned my real beast.

I do not pretend,

My true love is free.

Show you cherishment,

Yet still fearing me.

Hurting always comes,

But not purposely.

If ever did so,

Knowledge will foresee.

This heart is open,

Loving even now.

Doubting truth aware,

In need of a vow?

Oh was done before,

They were not to last.

Reality says,

Leave back there in past.

We making all work,

Like no others can.

Standing together,

Hold a strong hand.

Set limitations,

 Should no more I take?

Thinking getting close,

Decisions to make.

YOU CAN DO IT

~An Angel's tears
within the rain~
~Her heart in fear

for those in pain~

~Wings spread wide

to cover those~

~Calming cries

within their Souls~

~She walks with them

in shadows hide~

~An Angel’s hymn

she does recite~

~Guide me Lord

to keep them safe~

~By your accord

their every wake~

~No mountain high

nor valley low~

~Shall keep my flight

from calming Souls~

~She spreads her wings

in calming peace~

~Amen she sings

with Heaven’s glee~

I Feel Such Pain

Mr and Mrs Raj

~My hunger grows

to be at ease~

~My mortal soul

is not at peace~

~I feel such pain

from years gone past~

~My mind insaned

in everlast~

~My every night

is filled with fear~

~I dream in fright

my body sears~

~I stay not sleep

nor do I wake~

~In limbo’s keep

my body quakes~

~My hunger grows

to be at ease~

~My mortal soul

it yearns for peace~

~I pray my Lord

he gave me life~

~To wield his sword

and end this strife~

~To cleanse my soul

and ease my pain~

~To make me whole

be not insaned~

We Can Receive

Open up your mind,

And let me inside.

Imagine the things,

You won't have to hide.

A secret keeper,

Forever I will be.

Sharing fantasies,

All are safe with me.

I know it's scary,

But please do not fear.

Whatsoever done,

Shall remain right here.

Ask me a question,

To help you believe.

I'll only tell truth,

Then we can receive.

Honor To Keep

"Salute Soldiers of Life"

Dedicated to Papa @DUKETHEMAN1 forever a Soldier & published Author too!

Yesterdays memorial,

Looking back but again forth.

Fighting for best tomorrow,

Mission making it seem worth.

Leaving loved ones left behind,

Answering a mighty call. 

Lacking knowledge still so young,

Safety now the cannonball. 

Yet who should be decider,

In a foreign land of grief?

Knowing great pain and sorrow,

Then needing help for relief. 

Innocent victims of war,

Still taking place in this day.

Soldiers full of endurance,

Battlegrounds now here to stay. 

Some will remain with visions,

Of times they may never speak.

Remember their sacrifice,

Provide them honor to keep.

Come Back and Stay

Soon Very Soon

Unknown what's to come,

The special eye tears.

Feelings from inside,

My sorrowful fears.

Tomorrows new news,

May still be the same.

Abundant with strength,

And God takes all blame.

Work towards wholeness,

Can't process for you.

Conflicting these dreams,

Since that's what I do.

Desire to help,

However there's me.

Focusing on self,

Hence set captives free.

Time shall be taken,

No masks only real.

Pausing from purpose,

But I made this deal?

Giving all my love,

Helping others grow.

Meanwhile in my life,

Seems I have let go.

Lacking a receipt,

Dimming the bright light.

Destiny I hear,

Challenging to fight.

Overcomer yes,

No not in this way.

Perhaps a brief break,

Then come back and stay.

♡ Set A Heart on Fire for Love ♡

We celebrate,

This day of birth.

Stars alignment,

Welcome to earth.

The breathe of life, 

First you did take,

Purpose for strength.

Destined to make.

New beginning,

You have today.

Trusting again,

Searching but stay.

Two-sided mind,

Seeking a key.

The consequence,

Be one with me.

Fight and Win

Wanted to be angry,

Easier to feel mad.

However the truth is,

Actually I am sad.

Hard for me to admit,

But truth must be told.

Love should do what is right,

Lies can make you unfold.

Honesty will begin,

While staring in my eye.

The one that gives me strength,

And learned how not to cry.

Keeping secrets from self,

Is unhealthy and fake.

Now looking in mirror,

Each morning I awake.

For so many reasons,

Don't know where to begin.

Yet now my acceptance,

Will help me fight and win.

Victorious At Ease

Do Not Quit...
It will get better Soon!

Trying times have purpose,

Help bring knowledge and grow.

Some trials feel more painful,

Fight harder let them go.

Better days are ahead, 

Stand in faith remain strong.

Easier to say when,

Suffering all along.

People can be vicious,

While going through your storm.

Truthfully sent perhaps,

Deceit won't misinform.

Share minimal secrets,

They're likely to be told.

Many sit in judgment,

Within your own household.

 The darkness hides evil,

But almighty God sees.

His soldiers overcome,

Victorious at ease.

Few if any supporters...

Blooming a flawless masterpiece of...

Individual beauty...

Thankful For Life

If I am weak,

You make me strong.

God let me know,

We can go on.

Saying never,

Won't let us down.

Sense love's presence,

Always around.

We can bear all,

Pain, hurt, or strife.

When we awake,

Thankful for life.

Improvement by Exchange

Another day looking,

In the mirror I see.

A little less sunshine,

Uh oh the other me.

Good thing this truth is known,

Great view of who I AM.

Have this pen in my hand,

And I don't give a damn.

Time for a new story,

Yes it's completely done.

Yesterday is over,

Already on the run.

No need to peek backwards,

Will not cause me to change.

Instead my solution,

Improvement by exchange.

More Than One Chance

Takes some hard work,

Trusting to feel.

PTSD,

Rolls like a wheel.

 Forgave myself,

Found place to heal.

Yesterday's thoughts,

Were all too real.

It's in the past,

Not what I see.

Spirit and soul,

The first real me.

Look deep inside,

Need healing too?

Better choices,

Aim to now do.

Live a full life,

Learn a new dance.

A journey gives,

More than one chance.

Jealousy and Hate

 Dedicated to good people who exist in this world & those I've had the pleasure of becoming acquainted, because you don't take my #Love, YOU show IT! #ShoutOutWithLove ♥ #God bless you #fam!

Social media,

Turned on a new light.

A forbidden zone,

Gave more insight.

Goodness still exists,

Learned this is true.

People show me love,

Not too many do.

Danger lurks in some,

Watch your front and back.

Always be prepared,

For blind-side attack.

Keep both eyes open,

Before it's too late.

There are these twins called,

Jealousy and hate.

Allowed to Feel

#SOWL ♡ #Touch and #listen to #Hold It Down #Ma by @GAWGAFYE - #Founder of #TeamFyeKandy ♡ #Story of someone's #life, but it doesn't have to be. #ShoutOutWithLove™

Many long years prior,

Questioning what I know.

Uncertain of drama,

Just wanted to let go.

Didn't make any sense,

Oh the pain was so deep.

Why another challenge,

Doing nothing to reap.

Also overcoming,

Such another great loss.

Overwhelmed with feeling,

Where was this Supreme boss?

Then voice said "Well now see,

You can handle all this.

Have great plans for your life,

Revert past to a mist.

Things only you will know,

Without pain or remorse.

Situations to grow,

I am not here by force."

Up to this period,

Knew I suffered enough.

Seemed to lack needed strength,

All had been more than rough.

Endured through the journey,

And wounds truly did heal.

Yes still have memories,

But we're allowed to feel.

Talk to You

My dearest brother,

Teach me how to pray.

Sometimes I think like,

Don't know what to say?

Father in heaven,

One way I begin.

Yet further along,

Unsure where to end.

I want to express,

Simply how I feel.

Showing that Your child,

Is sincere and real.

Grant unto me words,

As I give my all.

Using heart and soul,

Help before I fall.

Thank you God of love,
I know how to pray.

Have faith that You are,

Providing my way.

Proclaiming Your word,

It is always true.

I can rest at night,

When I talk to you.

Worth The Trial

Feel a special love,

Walk into the light.

No worry or fear,

As it shines so bright.

Trust only in God,

Old things passed away.

Seek to find wisdom,

Enlighten your day.

Endure all the pain,

Surely it will pass.

Blood already shed,

For you to outlast.

Go ahead and cry,

My fellow gentile.

Life in the kingdom,

Is well worth the trial.
