Catch Me

I Learned

This year I learned to never fall in love with a stranger

I learned that they will steal your heart, and break it

That not everyone is going to be sensitive to your feelings and that what you have…is usually the only thing that they want

Because of course you have something that they want, and they will tell you any and everything that you want to hear to get it

This year I learned how to respect myself

I learned that in order to become what I need to become I will have to face my demons and beat my insecurities at their own game

Because of course it is easy to fall, you have gravity there to assist with that, but of course once you do

You then will have to prove to yourself that you were not lying when you said that you are strong enough to overcome whatever is thrown your way, by getting up

This year I learned that it is okay to hurt

I learned that the pain is only temporary and som...

Catch Me

Catch me… because I am falling.

Hold me as I brake down my walls and reveal the softer side of me.

Please do not judge me because I am choosing now to shed tears that should have fallen years prior.

Walk with me as I journey through this life,

Catch me because I can feel myself falling.

I am opening up a new chapter in my life and I am in need for your attention.

I’m coming to you as a person that’s in desperate need of a blessing, not to mention comfort.

Throughout all of my trials and tribulations you have remained by my side.

While protecting me from the very ones that has been trying to hurt me without me ever knowing it.

Please…catch me because I am falling.

My hands are bleeding, and my knees are bruised…

And yet I continue to ...

Stand Strong

I woke up this morning with you on my mind.

Something within my heart needed to tell you something, to let you know how important you are.

To let you know that I understand your pain, as well as your anger.

I understand that you had no one to look up to, that when others were not putting you down…you were being let down.

When you wanted to be a kid, you were forced to be a man.

I know how it feels to walk down the street and be seen as though you are beneath someone.

To look in the mirror one day and see potential but turn and walk towards life’s only option.

My brotha…I understand.

I understand that when you step outside you feel that there is no way you will make it out of the streets.

That when you do go out of town you wish that you could experience more then what life has given you.

You have the right to be angry…you have the right to shed these tear...
