Explanation Season is Over
I’m at a place in my life where explanation season is over. I’m not explaining nothing to convince, reassure, persuade or bring comfort to anyone’s doubt, uncertainties, insecurities or lack of trust.
If you asked me what I was doing and I said I was busy, then I said what I said. I’m not explaining what I was busy doing, how long I was busy or what I did after I wasn’t busy. If you’re not satisfied with my response, then that’s on you. You gon be alright.
People have been used to me explaining myself to reassure them. But you know what, that wasn’t on them, that was on me. Now, you get what you get how I give it. We still cool, we still friends, I still got mad love for you… but just know, explanation season is over.
You know how this young generation say, “say less?” Got it!
Enjoy your day.

I been Goateed
Dear World,
It’s Capricorn season!
Our season ends the year and WE start the year. And you know what? So many people wanna be “a Goat,” and debate over who is “a Goat” and who is not. But if you are born a Capricorn then you already know, we been Goateed! Yes been, since birth. Why you think it’s called Capricorn the Goat… duh.
As a Capricorn, we dominate and intimidate. We are driven and determined and best believe, we are VERY Vocal. As some may know, we are the most chilled and unbothered. And no lies told, we are very friendly and we are fun-ny. We are the life of the party, we turn up and we turn off.
Some say we are stubborn and cheeky (and is) and it’s only because it’s our way... |
I BEEN Approved
So right before I moved to Texas, the property manager where I was moving to called me and said, “Ms. Dright, I just want to let you know, you’ve been approved.”
Now, as much as I have heard those words before, at that moment and at that time, those words hit my brain different. It was a “Wow” revelation moment. And what was revealed to me was - She’s right, “I BEEN approved.” I been approved wayyy back then, like been.
I been approved, approved by God since birth. So you see, everybody might not know, some just finding out, some might find out later and some may never know, but yeah, “I BEEN approved!”
So next time someone tells you you’ve been approved, just know, they are just now catching up cause you been already knew. And, if there’s ever a time when someone tells you that you are NOT approved, don’t be sad or disappointed, you didn’t do nothing wro... |

If you Know, you Know
Let’s have a lil fun. Let’s see how many of these you remember.
If you know, you know (Smile)
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn…
Jack be Nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candle stick
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and can’t tell where to find them
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream
Hickory ory Dock, the mouse ran up the clock
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curbs and whey
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
There was an old lady who lived in a shoe
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
One, two buckle my shoe, three, four shut the door
I’m a little teapot short and stout, here is my handle, here is my spout
A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket
LiL Jack Horner sat in a corner eating a Christmas pie

I Write how I Write
Dear Reader,
I am a very well-educated writer. As we know, poetry is an expression of the poet’s thoughts and feelings. I write how I write, and as a poet, I allow the reader to be inspired by taking them inside this mind of mine. There are times when subject verb agreements won’t agree, and that’s okay. That’s the way I wanted to say it, that’s the way I wanted to write it. I don’t need no spell check or auto correct; I wrote what I wrote the way I wrote it.
Thank you and carry on. (smile)

I am Woman
I am Woman… not just today, but every day.
I am courageous, I am creative, I am beautiful…
I am strong, I am independent, I am vivacious…
I am this, this, this, and this…
and that, that, that and that…
The titles are never ending… I am Woman!
Growing up for me, there was no book or instructions on becoming -
Becoming a woman, a mother, a conqueror…
Becoming a teacher, a leader, a friend…
Becoming driven, determined, destined…
and if there was… I didn’t read it, nor did I need it.
That would have been the writer’s opinion or story of what a woman is in their perspective. That person’s story or journey could never be my story or journey.
My journey as a woman meant, I chose to walk my own path.
Didn’t wanna walk in nobody else’s footprints, so I created my own.
Over the years, I g... |
Michael Jackson '21
Dear Mike,
I just wanted to touch base with you and write how I feel at this moment.
While you were here, you taught us so much.
I still play your songs because I like THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL through your music. It brings me closer to you.
My favorites are MAN IN THE MIRROR and BLACK AND WHITE.
You know yo boy BEN broke up with DIRTY DIANA and told her to BEAT IT.
She began to SCREAM and yell I WANT YOU BACK.
Drama, drama, drama.
She always WANNA BE STARTIN' SOMETHIN' acting like she's all BAD.
It must be her HUMAN NATURE and that could be DANGEROUS.
Anyway, he started dating this PRETTY YOUNG THING name BILLIE JEAN.
She is a LIBERIAN GIRL. She told him he reminds her JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOU.
Well, we all miss you. We feel you were GONE TOO SOON.
By the way, there is supposed to be a concert i... |

Just Saying
I am blessed and grateful I know where my energy lies. I just wish there was just as much energy focused on God that is on the inauguration, white supremacy, Trump, the impeachment, social media and all these other distractions.
The enemy's number one target is the mind. Guard your mind. Stay prayed up.
