Let your LIGHT SHINE, BRIGHT!!! Just Let your LIGHT SHINE BRIGHT, and
ILLUMINATE through THIS OLE WORLD,
FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE TO SEE,
Every MAN, WOMAN, BOY and GIRL!!
This World is so FULL OF DARKNESS,
IT' IS JUST SO PLAIN TO SEE,
NO POSITIVE ASPECTS, and NO HAPPINESS,
NO PEACE or HARMONY!!
NO COMING TOGETHER AS ONE,
Just PAIN and AGONY,
THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
NO JUSTICE for YOU and ME!!
Things have gone DOWNHILL,
There is just so, so MUCH DRAMA,
WHAT'S RIGHT is WRONG and
WHAT'S WRONG is RIGHT
Pure MALICE, DISTRESS, and TRAUMA,
but,
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT,
Filled WITH PLEASURE and WITH DELIGHT,
Through this DARK and SINFUL
world today,
Is where you should:
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BRIGHT!!!

Pour out your emotions with writing Pour out your Emotions with Writing,
Is what you really should do,
When you are feeling down and out,
When you are feeling so, so blue.
Pour out your emotions with writing,
When you can't seem to figure it out,
When you really just don't have a clue, and
You are going through fears and doubts.
Pour out your emotions with writing,
When you have done all that you can,
When you don't have the slightest idea,
Through these trials, you continue to stand.
Even when you're feeling so down,
When your feel life is treating you unfairly,
When you want to turn your frown to smile,
of the burdens that you have to carry.
If you can not vent through writing,
How about going for a calming walk,
Let go of frustrations with a hobby, or
a lending ear so you can vent and t... |
Poor wounded Soul Note: Just a reminder if you are here!!!
Poor wounded Soul,
trying to survive
Life's Trauma,
from one powerful blow.
All that your soul needs,
is to feel at ease,
careless and free,
just feel the nice breeze,
sit back and relax and
Have no worries.
Let go of it All,
The Pain, suffering,
worrying, and sorrow,
Leave yesterday behind,
push forward to tomorrow.
This agony that you endure
won't Last long,
So try to be strong,
it is only a test,
REMEMBER:
WHO'S ON YOUR SIDE, and
In this JUST REST!!!!!

When Loneliness is your Spouse This one just came to me, IDK what do
you guys think???? I'm just letting th words
flow.
When Loneliness is your spouse,
You two can lounge around in the house,
Be bored, say nothing and just be still,
Don't interact, just kick back and mainly
just chill.
There's no talking back, no nagging, no sound
The House is so still that there's no one around
The lonely sets in, its just you alone,
Being in SOLITUDE is what is now shown
No backtalkling, nagging or even
arguments,
Just a quiet still calmness
that is heaven sent
There's nothing wrong
with ISOLATION,
To be by yourself and
have RESTORATION,
It allows you the time
to be with one's self
Recooperate yourself
minus everybody else
There's nothing wrong ... |

From the HURTS of the PAST, but

On Pins and Needles It's like walking on PINS and NEEDLES,
which is very, very HARD to ENDURE,
While going through TRYING TIMES, and HARDSHIPS,
Looking for HOPE but just NOT TOO SURE.
When LIFE is GIVING you LEMONs or
You are just HANGING on by a THREAD,
or looking for a SCAPEGOAT or,
MAYBE IT ALL IN YOUR HEAD.
Whenever there is a PROBLEM,
an ISSUE or NO RESOLUTION,
JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER:
THROUGH IT ALL!!!
There will always be a SOLUTION!!!
When Your NERVES are on the EDGE, and
YOU'RE COMPLETELY LOOSING CONTROL,
Your MIND is GOING SIDEWAYS,
As if you have NO PLACE ELSE TO GO,
When your NERVES are GETTING THE
BEST of YOU, and
THOUGHTS are going TO and FRO.
Just TAKE in a FEW DEEP BREATHS, and ... |
These Ole' Ghetto Streets These ole' Ghetto streets
You got beef??
then bring the heat,
Don't make this an issue,
I might just diss you,
When You living in the hood, and
you wish a n**** Would!!
Aye, you good???
Everything's Aiight!!!
Aye, Ya'll cool???
Yeah we tight???,
Trash all over the place,
it's just a sin and
a shame it's such a disgrace,
Get outta my face, or
Imma put you in your place,
Don't make a sound,
not even a peep,
Can't keep your mouth shut,
then take several seats,
It's about to go down,
IN THESE OLE' GHETTO STREETS!!!

The Stillness of Time In the stillness of time,
is where I tend to live,
Tranquility and peace,
is what calmness will give.
Everything is at a halt,
and is frozen in time,
a time to decompress and
to just to unwind.
To live in this state,
will be so divine, happiness
for those few moments,
will feel just fine.
I wish that I could stay,
in this frame of reposed mind,
just to dwell for a lifetime,
Frozen in this time.
