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 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~

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joy Supersedes Hurt

Dawn SOWL - Help with My♡Heart - Psychology Today Profile

Seventy years ago,

You arrived on this earth.

Filled with love and purpose,

Destiny for my birth.

Life unfair and lonely,

Similarly to me.

A heart with great sadness,

Little chance to be free.

Lost inside of your head,
Ideas no one around.
Searching for your blessing,
Desired to be found.

Finally now at rest,
Your body in the dirt.
Spirit dwells within me,
Now joy supersedes hurt.

Twinkle Twinkle,

You are no star.

Now I wonder,

Just who you are.

Talk is cheap,

That's not you.

You cost me more,

Than I can do.

Learned my lesson,

This heart is pure.

God is my source,

Opening a door.

Through I will walk,

I do not scare.

Demons are real,

And they should fear.

Already Won

Don't forget we have won!

I was born for a purpose,

Accomplish great things in life.

Not placed on earth to wallow,

In pity misery strife.

This message I share only,

If you are willing to hear.

Also those who have risen,

Seeking release from their fear.

Learn ways standing strong oneself,

Do not let another rule.

Fight for all rights surviving,

To win the mightiest dual.

Be encouraged warrior,

Doing greatness along way.

Every dawn's a new battle,

Stay focusing on today.

One more important statement,

And for now I shall be done.

Just in case you were unsure,

Have peace we already won!

Right or Wrong

Yesterday has come and gone,

Tomorrow already here.

Looked to You to guide my steps,

I realized there was fear.

Nervous thoughts run through my head,

Enemies want me to doubt.

Self-destruction, worry, pain,

Maybe God won't bring me out.

Dark and gloomy was my life,

I would never not be sad.

Believed things would never change,

This would be all that I had.

Many tears on this journey,

Easy to no longer fight.

I learned must follow my heart,

My mind was where he stole light.

Today knowing wasn't me,

A better plan all along.

The past aided to help grow,

It was never right or wrong.

Patient & Free

Patience being a virtue,

I definitely agree.

Quality I've acquired,

Blessed with I'm finally free.

Free to make my decisions,

Whether turns out wrong or right.

Free to live life as I so choose,

Each day through every night.

My faith taught me the patience,

That I am able to stand.

Everyday I thank my God,

Kept me in a loving hand.

Life's not meant to be easy,

Proof is seen everyday.

Struggle and pain more like it,

Thus only God guides my way.
