Darkened Nights

Scandalous: Dirty Laundry (Episode 11)

Dirty laundry out to dry,

thought that you were getting by,

Little secrets, come to light,

Itching ears full of delight,

Want to know you every sin,

From the Outer to the in,

Gut you out just like a fish,

We know all about your ish,

What's the drama, and what's the deal???

Come around us,

YEAH!!

WE WILL SQUEAL!!

Just like a pig

YOU DIG, YOU DIG!!

We'll tell the crowds

YEAH!!

WHAT YOU DID!!

Want to know your every Groove,

Where you go, and how you move,

Running away and trying to hide,

THIS TIME WE WILL LET YOU SLIDE!!

Think that we are being mean,

Secrets hidden are unseen,

Nosey people want to know,

Where you been, and where you go,

Follow you, and scope you out,

TRYING TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT!!

Want to know what is the scoop,

Trying to stay within the loop,...

Thank you making a believer out of me!!

Thank you

for making a

believer

out of me,

This friendship

is now over, and

now, I can plainly see,

I thought this

friendship was true, but

I observed with my own

two eyes, and saw the proof

now I'm feeling sad and blue,

I was sidetracked

by the companionship,

while others already knew,

I am so traumatized

by the past events,

At this point,

I'm not sure what to do,

Are you a foe, or a friend??

As I steady contemplate,

OH, NOW YOU

WANT TO MAKE AMENDS!!,

I'M SORRY BUT ITS TOO LATE!!,

SO, GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE, and

PLEASE, JUST LET ME BE,

I want to THANK YOU

for SHOWING YOUR

TRUE SELF, and

MAKING A BELIEVER

OUT OF ME!!!!

That Three Letter word opposite of Friend!!!

When they turn

from a FRIEND to a FOE,

you need to

RETURN TO REALITY, and

LET THEM GO!!

JUST SNAP OUT OF IT!!

OH, CAN'T YOU JUST SEE!!

OTHERS SEE IT,

BUT YOU!!

As they are

DEEPLY

CONTEMPLATING,

THEY ARE

either,

A FRIEND, A FOE

or maybe even

FRIENDAMIES!!

ASSOCIATES,

ACQUAINTANCES

or

A STRAIGHT UP ENEMY!!

ALL DEPENDING ON

THE PREFERENCE,

FRIEND, OR FOE,

IS THE REFERENCE!!

(JUST BE CAREFUL WHOM

YOU CONSIDER A

TRUE FRIEND!!!)

(WHEN THEY MISTREAT, AND

DO YOU WRONG, AND

YOU REALIZE ,

IT WAS ALL PRETEND!!!)

They will

SMILE IN YOUR FACE, and

then STAB YOU IN THE BACK,

(BEING FRIENDLY IS PRICELESS) but

(REAL FRIENDS IS WHAT YOU LACK!!)

They come in a handful, and

THAT'S OKAY!!

(YOU...

Protected

You are Protected,

from danger and from harm,

The Lord watches over you, and

Protects you with his Arms,

He will keep you safe

from danger and hurt, and

will direct your path,

He will keep you alert,

He will watch, and

protect you every day,

ordering your steps, and

showing you the way,

He will be your strength, and

will be your Guide,

He will be there for you, and

Be by your side,

He will be your

encouragement, HE WILL PROVIDE!!!

So, always remember

if you are feeling neglected,

THE LORD IS ALWAYS

WITH YOU: and

YOU ARE PROTECTED!!!!!

Farewell to 2025

Farewell to 2025,

It has been quite a ride,

We thank you for the blessings, and

for all that was provide, but

now, it is time for you to go,

about time for you to leave,

to make room for the new year,

WE ALL CAN'T WAIT TO SEE.

25 is dieing out, and

from this WE WILL NOT GRIEVE!!!

It has been pretty rough, and

SATISFACTION is what WE ALL NEED.

We have had GOOD, and BAD DAYS,

SUNSHINE, and CLOUDS OF GRAY,

TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS,

the UPS, and the DOWNS,

HAPPY TO SEE IT ALL GO AWAY!!!

As the going gets tough,

seeing you leaving, relieves us,

It is time to get it moving, and

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

SO, FAREWELL to 2025,

as we part ways, and

SAY GOODBYE,

As we ALL WELCOME 2026, and

CONTINUE TO KEEP

HOPE ALIVE!!!!

"HAVE A HAPPY A

PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!!"

Burned

Never, ever play with fire, beause

you will get burned,

from the 3rd, and 4th degree Scars,

from this you will learn.

from this you will see,

the damage that Fire can leave,

So, stay away from the Flames,

The words I deplore, take heed.

Keep a distance away from the Fire,

The flames are deadly, be safe,

The Fires heat is very potent,

So, step away, from the sight to a safe place.

Some, People are just like Fire,

Get close and you will get burned,

Don't let the fire catch on to you,

from this you will certainly learn.

The HARD TIMES MANTRA

NOTE: We all have something that is

bringing us down!!! Some struggle,

situation or issue. GOD has blessed me

with a Gift!!! So, this is yours as well as

myself MANTRA into 2026!!!

Even through the HARD TIMES,

YOU GOT TO BE STRONG,

Don't sit around feeling Low

Listening to sad old silly songs.

When you do that,

that will bring you down,

Listen to something inspirational, and

Turn that frown around.

Whatever the situation is,

Don't let it ruin your day,

Take care of it, and keep it moving,

Your help is on the way.

People want to see you struggle, and

Are waiting for you to fail,

They want to see you hit rock bottom, but

In reality it is well.

YOU GOT THIS, DON'T LET IT WIN,

KEEP PUSHING, and CONTINUE TO RISE,

Once you do that you will soon Discover,

SO, JUST KEEP...

Darkened Nights

Some people deal

with darkened nights, but

you see that's OK,

What they are in need of is

guidance to help and light the way,

So, why don't you come

out of the darkness, into

HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT TODAY,

I hope that in the Darkened Nights,

You will come to see,

Light will cast away the dark mass,

ILLUMINATING VIGOROUSLY!!!

Please, come out of your

wicked ways, and

FOLLOW THIS GLORIOUS LIGHT,

Even through your darkness,

YOU WILL SEE THAT

IT'S OUT OF SIGHT!!!

You are a Mountain

You are a mountain

Yes, You stand strong,

Conquering any obstacles,

Any that come along,

you possess such strength,

You are stable and tall,

You are built to last, and

To Challenge it All!!!

Mountains do crumble,

From time to time,

Bolders tend to form, and

Can Fall from on high

But It will be Alright,

just continue to have courage,

Be strong like the mountains and

Don't ever be discouraged!!!!
