Self Love

Already

I was always taught to be a lady

Not knowing I was destined to be a Queen.

And while I'm not acclimated to the finer things,

My royalty comes with lessons learned

experiences and trying to fulfill my dreams.

Already, I know I'm here for something great.

Trying to be careful not to allow this world to taint my faith.

Already, I know your temptation is all around.

Attempting at every moment to bring me down.

But I walk with my head held to the sky,

knowing to stumble means to surely die.

I know who I am. 

I know my struggles.

I know my imperfections.

Already, I'm praying your demons away,

because my father promised me a better day.

Unfortunately for YOU enemy

I BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAY!

Already, you've tried to trick me into walking your way.

But I'm like oh no devil, we not gone do this today.

I balance...

My Black

My black is beautiful

 With different shades of hue

From light to dark

There's no replication for something pure and true

My black is beautiful

Check the mirror and see

My black gives me sense of importance and identity

I am proud of my black it represents a troubled race

Understand it's not all about the color of my face

It's about the strength that runs deep throughout my veins

The endurance of my ancestors that struggled through times of pain

Which let's me know I carry that exact same strength

And my children's children will be on the same wavelength

My black is beautiful

No matter what anyone say

And I'm delighted that God has made me this way

Deeming me worthy to carry such a torch

My black marks survivors Blessed and highly favored

No matter how hard the ...

Blessed

I am blessed

To have the opportunity to see another day

Blessed to be great in every single way

I'm given another day to right all the things I've wronged

To perfect my imperfections

The moment I open my eyes I thank God for allowing me to finish what I've started

To bring together what has been parted

I am blessed

To have air flowing through my lungs to breathe

Blessed to to have eyes for once I was blind now I see

Blessed with the ability to love so abundantly

I'm blessed to have experienced trouble

So that I'm able to appreciate the stubble

Blessed to have a peace of mind

Now knowing how to avoid distractions

And how not to waste my own time

I am blessed

Blessed to be able to watch my children grow

And see them live out the things

I've taught to them through my own personal growth

GOD = LOVE

God is simply love

Anything outside that is

All sins of the world

(Two Words) Everlasting love

What you

And I

Have is

So Devine

Something that

Can't be

Seen with

The natural

Eye and

Something that

Can't be

Touched outside

My soul

Intertwined I

See you

Feel you

Hear you

In this

Spiritual place

Of gratitude

You provide

Me with

Wisdom peace

Understanding and

Grace amongst

Other things

You have

My spirituality

Inclined towards

The heavens

And I

Praise your

Existence and

Glorify you

Everytime I

Am presented

With blessings

Of pure

Everlasting love

That only

You can

Provide grateful

Am I

To have

You forever

Jesus Christ

My God

🙌❤️

This little light of mine

My light

Vivid and bright

Illuminating

Everything it touches

It reveals the path ahead

Preventing me from

Stumbles and falls

Being sure

That I can see

My heart is open

This is where

My light lives

Through me it shines

From the inside out

Self Love

Sitting alone in pure silence

With millions of thoughts

Running through my mind

The answers that I need

I just can't seem to find

My eyes are red, puffy, and sore

And I see a reflection of myself

That I didn't see before

My heart is aching

I feel nothing but defeat

I know the devil is lurking

And he's responsible for this deceit

I can't seem to stop these tears

From rolling and falling down my face

I can't begin to fathom

How I even got into this place

In a place of immorality

A place that's slowly pulling me

Closer and closer to mortality

Thinking if today was my last day

On this place called earth

I wonder did I do anything

To give my life any worth

Then I cried some more

Because the truth damaged me

To my core

Then came the thought

Do I have anything to live for
