Hands of Time
These are the HANDS OF TIME,
being in a CERTAIN ERA, now
that would be SO DIVINE,
LIVING in the TIMES PAST,
would be JUST FINE!!
RELIVING a PAST DREAM,
that would only BE MINE,
OLD PAST MEMORIES that
are STORED DEEP in the
BACK of my MIND!!
In order to visit them,
I SIMPLY TRAVEL THROUGH
IMAGINATIONS and
JUST UNWIND!!
My OLD, FONDEST MEMORIES that
have GONE FAR AWAY,
I shall never FORGET THEM,
and still think about them
THIS VERY DAY, but
The HAPPINESS they had,
has since then, GONE ASTRAY,
I SHALL NEVER, EVER
FORGET THEM, because
THOSE WERE THE DAYS,
They were THE BEST THAT
I HAVE EVER HAD, but
Things ar... |
Did you know???
Did you know:
that you are
special and it shows
that you Sparkle
like a
diamond and
you glow,
Your Shine is so
bright, that
the world knows,
You are very unique and
one of a kind,
a special
kind a friend,
The one that's
hard to find,
You are a TREASURE,
You are a JEWEL,
You are UNIQUE and
YES,
YOU RULE!!!,
YOU'RE ON THE
9 TO 5,
YOU TIK AND
YOU TOCK,
YOU'RE ON
THE RIGHT PATH,
IN CONTROL,
YOU ROCK!!!
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW
HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE,
COS, IN MY EYES, I SEE
YOU AS A ???? STAR ????!!!
SO, DON'T EVER FORGET,
WHEREVER YOU GO,
THAT YOU ARE ONE
OF A KIND,
I JUST THOUGHT
I LET TOU KNOW!!!

The Hood
When you
FROM THE HOOD,
LIVING in a
RUNNED DOWN,
RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
When your CHURCH, your SCHOOL,
your BEAUTY SALON,
BARBER SHOP and
the LIQUOR STORE,
is only WITHIN
WALKING DISTANCE,
When the ICE CREAM
TRUCK RUNS during the DAY, and
LATE AT NIGHT!!
WHEN KIDS ARE ON
BIKES, SCOOTERS,
SKATEBOARDS and SKATES,
WHEN YOU BETTER
HURRY HOME QUICK,
the STREET LIGHTS will come ON,
HURRYING HOME BECAUSE IT'S LATE,
When it's a SCHOOL NIGHT,
and YOU have to BE IN BED by 8,
DO YOUR HOMEWORK and
MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT,
not long after HAVING DINNER,
then it's LIGHTS OUT GOODNIGHT,
Back in the Day,
MY PARENTS DROVE A CADILLAC,
An OLDSMOBILE REGENCY,
Now What ya'll think ... |
Journey of Emotions
There is a
TRAIL OF HAPPINESS, and
A PATHWAY LEADING
to
SADNESS ROAD!!!
A JOURNEY OF EMOTIONS
up AHEAD
are
UNTOLD,
on your JOURNEY,
JUST WATCH
as they UNFOLD,
when you
get to them,
just be
COURAGEOUS AND BOLD!!!
These are
JUST TRIALS,
for they
WON'T LAST LONG,
Continue your
JOURNEY and
in
THEM BE STRONG!!!
It is your time,
for a
TRANSFORMATION, |
When you don't have friends
When you don't have friends,
When you are successful and you win,
When things you do, go your way,
Is also when so-called friends go astray!!
When you do have money and
they do come around,
When you are suddenly broke and
they're no where to be found,
All you wanted was
a friend to the end, but
All in return, you just
got people that pretend!!
You're the type of
person that'll go all in,
to lend a helping hand,
to a so-called dear friend,
to bend over backwards and
to try help them through, but
you could only d... |
Unpopular
What is it like to BE UNPOPULAR?
Just LOOK AROUND, and you will see,
Everyone else is BEING NOTICED, but
For some reason, OVERLOOK ME!!
Am I really that DULL and BORING,
Am I that FEROCIOUS TO YOUR SIGHT,
Just because I'm FAT and PUDGY,
I'm not your FANTASY or your DELIGHT???
Is it REALLY, REALLY that IMPORTANT???
Referring to POPULARITY,
Being NOTICED, ADMIRED or ENVIED, and
I MEAN THAT FIGURATIVELY!!!!
Do you want me to be your ENTOURAGE!!
Follow you around and KISS YOUR A**???
Be a PAWN ON YOUR CHESSBOARD, or
walk away with DIGNITY AND CLASS!!!
SO, WHAT!!!, IF I'M NOT POPULAR,
Who's cares, IF I DON'T HAVE FRIENDS,
Who gives a hoot, IF NO ONE SEES ME,
cos, in the end, I STILL CAN WIN!!!!
So, GO ON WITH YOUR POPULARITY!!!

Envious
Being envious is a strong emotion,
An emotion that is hard to shake,
Seeing something that you can't have,
A feeling that you can't seem to break!!
Although, you are unhappy of others achievements,
you can't seem to shake the feeling,
You are in need of letting it go,
You are in the need of Healing!!
but, sometimes that is hard to do,
You have to confess what is hurting you,
Once you let it go, than you will know,
How to cope with and Be better at dealing!!

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!!!
