Is What You Believe True?

Once I was a #Princess now I'm a #Queen 👑

There once was an Angel,
Struggling more each day.
Difficulties daily,

Especially to pray.

Problems all beginning,

By refusing to sing.
Denying a reason,

But broke part of one wing.

Throughout an existence,

Forever being told.

"Protect both wings always,
Carefully unfold."

Confusion never faced,
Feelings of inner strife.

Knowledge was conflicting,

Based on teachings in life.

"Wings are two perfect gifts,

Defining who you are.

When wing is imperfect,

Failed, lost light like a star."

Thinking every moment,

"Did my mind believe wrong?

Such harmonious sounds,

In tune with each song?"

Focused on solutions,
Bring worry to an end.
Pondered roots of faith,

Now could not comprehend.

Left home seeking for truth,

Searched, studied, learned, plus grew.

Developing knowledge,

 Foundationally true.

Dawn discovered wisdom,

Information adored.

Returned after journey,
With self-esteem restored.

Anticipated trials,
Heart's desire to teach.

Any who would listen,

Beyond her voice's reach.

Hateful sounds of whispers,
Yet fiercely pushed through crowds.

Sensed her heart smile brightly,

Lacked dimness from dark clouds.

Strutted in stadium,

Feeling nervous but proud.

Prepared hearing their words, 

"This should not be allowed."

Shouting, "Impossible,"
Envious judging brains!

"She glows and is shining,
No evidence of pains?"

Educational lies,

Superstitions were told.

Singing sweet melodies,
 Just one wing to unfold.

Overcoming issues,

Helped Angels as they grew.

Dawn's experience proved,

Facts elders never knew.

She taught learn by asking,

Explore questions with man.

Gain insight together,

To better understand.

When did ideas begin,

Belief of thoughts we do?
 Be prepared to answer,

"Is what you believe true?"

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.

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.

The Lie

Hey there ugly pain,

We're finally through.

Always doing those,

Certain things you do.

Strategically placed,

While holding a hand.

An adversary,

Kept taking demand.

Thoughts were forgotten,

Hidden high on shelf.

Cannibalism,

Used to hate myself.

Assignment exposed,

Because you're untrue.

Buried in this heart,

No one had a clue.

I kept all secrets,

Issues couldn't tell.

In that created,

My own living hell.

Fruit dwells in Spirit,

Therefore pain must die.

Complete, whole and free,

Not living the lie.

Me and You

Love is more than a feeling,

Decisions made in the heart.

When you are truly in love,

Two beings should never part.

It's an eternal concept,

Sometimes hard to comprehend.

When you find it hold on tight,

Then it never has to end.

Phenomenon about Love,

High ups conversely low downs.

Many have loved also lost,

Difficult sticking around.

I have loved and then I lost,

I am certain you have too.

Yet had we not lost those loves,

There would be no Me and You.

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.

Then and Now

Heart ♡ Warrior
♡ My Ker Bear ♡

Remember how my heart smiled,

Just the very thought of you.

There was not a rainy day,

The skies always brighter blue.

Simply hearing sound of your voice,

Better than any sunshine.

Believing impossible,

Knew you were finally mine.

Now a grey sky hovering,

Like storms that will never end.

Evil is such a liar,

And soul had to comprehend.

This struggle shall pass along,

Like many of those before.

My strength is in my Savior,

I don't need you anymore.
