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?"

Prince Is My Star

☆ Prince Forever ☆

An awesome sowl,

Humble indeed. 

It's no one's fault,

But other greed.

Always there,

Direct from start.

Never taking,

Doing your part.

Performer friend,

Lending an ear.

Difficult talks,

Wishing to hear.

Loving purple,

Know where you are,

Technically still,

Prince is my Star.

Mommy Showing The Way

Dedicated to the mother of #SOWL ❤ #NoH8 family! "Don't Worry About a Thing..." #ShoutOutWithLove! ❤

I am a WOMAN now,

But still yes your one child.

Again thinking of you,

Tends to bring a huge smile.

Along our journey,

At times we became mad.

Seeing selves as HUMAN,

Left us empty or sad.

Simplicity of thoughts,

Neither really did know.
Good intent not harmful,

Only for me to GROW.

Love is what we needed,

However received pain.

Yet continued to LOVE,

Despite the lack of gain.

HEALER dwelled in both hearts,

Staying on our side.

Providing while leaches,

Were there just for a ride.

Spirit filled with such strength,

This woman that I see.

Mentor OVER-COMER,

From life's atrocity.

Keep STANDING on those feet,

Fight hard like your mother.
Helping me break cycle,

Abused from another.

Since FAITH is the substance,

Here today I can say.

Learning love in spite of,

Mommy showing the way!

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~

♡ 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.

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.

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!
