Be the Light and Shine Bright

Mannerism

I come from

a time when

we say: 

YES MA'AM,

NO MA'AM, 

YES SIR, and

NO SIR,

When your name 

is called and

your response was

'WHAT??????'

You got the 

WIND knocked 

from you with

a punch

to your gut

That's very 

disrespectful and

it just ain't cool

Be careful how you

respond, it

might turn in you,

towards the elders 

Nature's Finest

Just look at the Trees,

Hear the buzzing of the bee's 

As the birds are flying,

 in the Cool, day breeze,

Feeling good and at ease,

Pollen will make you sneeze,

with No Stress or worries,

Fresh air so just breathe.

Nature's Finest of

 the mountains so high,

Standing tall as if

 to reach the sky,

Just walk along

 the water stream,

as the water is moving

 as if to a dream,

Look around at all the green,

God Creation, Is such

Wild Woman

She's a Wild Woman,

She is out in this world, 

that is so full of Darkness, but

 was once a young girl,

This World has manipulated, and 

has taken away her youth,

It has shielded her eyes with lies,

instead of telling her the full truth,

A young little girl,

brought up in a world of hate, 

Who was told so many false dreams,

At this point, for her, it's too late

There's a little girl out there today,

who was given false hopes, and desires,

Was told that she would never make it,

Only needing someone to ...

It ain't like it used to be

It ain't like it used to be,

things have really, really changed,

everything is different now, and

I find that very strange.

There aren't too many friendly faces,

You won't get too many hellos,

People just sort of keep to themselves, 

as their traveling to and fro.

This World is so cruel and cold,

So much darkness everywhere,

People are just so bold, and

In reality, they really don't care.

Everything has Skyrocketed,

Prices have gone Sky high,

Burning holes in our pockets, and 

As we are crying WHY, WHY, WHY???

So, Be Thankful for ...

Endurance

You have to climb

the HIGH MOUNTAINS,

and TRUDGE the DEEP SEAS,

GROVEL on the GROUND,

with SCRAPED, and SKINNED KNEES,

Just do your VERY best

with a lot of

TENACITY,

Give it your ALL with

DURABILITY,

Do you have

the ENDURANCE???

Do you have the SPEED???,

Do you have WHAT IT TAKES???

Oh YES INDEED!!!

Can you take it HEAD-ON???,

with BUMPS, and MISTAKES,

YOU GOT THIS COME ON,

DON'T FOLD, and DON'T FLAKE!!!

So, DON'T GIVE UP NOW,

with the MINDFRAME

OF ASSURANCE,

JUST GIVE IT YOUR ALL,

cos

YOU HAVE THE

ENDURANCE!!!

Let them Go

If they don't like, or

want to be around you,

then let them go,

If people appreciate you,

they will let you know,

no time for discouragement,

This I do deplore,

You can tell Satan, and

his demons

that they can hit the door,

You need no negativity

in your space or Life

No headaches, confusion,

bickering or strife,

People can be so onery,

Trying to make you feel low,

If you want to have Peace

then just

LET THEM GO!!!

Broken Beauty

Beauty that

is on

the outside,

can hide

something

that we

cannot seek,

involving pains,

hurts and trauma,

Inside of Beauty,

that can

cut so deep,

A Beautiful

face hides

the secret

of a poor, poor

broken soul,

a smile and

a pretty face,

within this

can feel

so, so low,

of flowing tears,

soft cries, and

So, so much

sorrow,

even through

the agony

within a beauty

hides suffering,

that no

one can

detect or know

LIES

You Lied to me once,

you Lied to me twice,

You lied for the third time!!!

now, you are on thin ice.

I believed your lies,

I hung on your stories,

they are not adding up,

now, all I see is fury.

You better change your fibs,

If I were you, I'd be worried,

about to give you the boot, and

I'll do it in a hurry,

I am tired of the betrayal,

I won't sniffle nor cry,

It's time to kick you to the curb,

COS, OF ALL OF YOUR LIES!!!
