    There Is No Place Like Dope

      I call it the land of Oz because there is no place like dope It’s the voice behind the curtain and such a slippery slope It’s the false sense of courage when you’ve lived a life of fears It’s the wicked witch’s lies infiltrating your ears It’s a way to cope with problems when your insides feel so numb It’s the oil for your joints when you’re lazy and feel like a bum It’s the field of poppy flowers that make you dance and leap It’s a false sense of hope that’ll put you straight to sleep It’s a false sense of wits and you think you’re using your…

    Loss

      Loss of a loved one or friend is something that we all experience in life. It’s something that you can never prepare for no matter how hard you try. No matter how much you tell yourself what the reality is. Sometimes its a waiting period like a terminal illness, sometimes its sudden like a suicide or some type of accident. I recently experienced a loss in my own family, my MaMom, and although I knew the ultimate outcome of the situation, I was still ripped apart when I got the phone call. To know that I will never hear her laugh or feel her hugs again on this earth,…

    You Are Enough

    When you feel worthless and all out of fight Just look up at the stars, they shine brightest when its night The darkness may ingulf you but hold on with all of your might ‘Cause there’s a peace and tranquility that comes with the morning’s first light You are very important no matter what anyone made you think Your name was written in the Heavens even before there was a such thing as ink You have a unique purpose and its reaching people who are just like you ‘Cause who understands them better and knows what they are going through Don’t live your life according to others or the way…

    I Know

      I know they did you badly and treated you like dirt I know about the pain they’ve caused and how bad that it hurt I know you have a beautiful soul and a heart that’s made of gold I know its not your fault but your love was cheaply sold I know about the words of pain and how they cut so deep I know about the sleepless nights and how much you would weep I know you wanted truth from the countless times they’ve lied I know it hurt your gut when it no longer could be denied I know about your beauty and its much deep than…

    A Massage Of Hope

      I’ve been in your shoes I’ve sat in your chair I was a lost cause and did not have a prayer I felt betrayal and the bitter taste of pain I’ve had a .40 cal pressed up to my brain I’ve woke up to empty bottles all over the ground I’d drink whiskey on the daily praying I would drown I’ve been the outcast A.K.A. the black sheep I let anger turn into hate from every time I’d weep I’ve robbed people and hurt people and did some jacked up stuff I did it to feel good ’cause I thought it made me tough I wanted a solution and I thought that it was dope I…

    A Safe Space

      Have you shared what was bothering you with your spouse and it was not validated and or shut down instantly and that was the end of it? Yet, when they are upset about something, they share it with you and you have to listen and validate how they feel. It’s frustrating and leads to keeping things to yourself for fear of being put down and unvalidated. It makes you feel like what bothers you doesn’t matter and there’s no need to bring it up and discuss it. This dynamic is not what a healthy relationship consist of. Both parties need to make sure that they are creating a safe…

    My Past, My Prison

      My past was a prison that only He held the key I wanted to do it my own way so He could not set me free It was a pipe and a needle which made up the bars to my cell I was chained down by dope and could not escape that hell I turned down true freedom for a temporary feel ‘Till my life fell into shambles which made me want to kneel With a barrel to my brain and a finger on the trigger He said, please hold off dear son my plans for you are bigger I know you’ve lived in misery and in the mire and in the mud But I put a…

    Christianity Today

      I may get quite a bit of negative feedback from this and that’s okay, I’m prepared. Let’s talk about what Christianity is today versus what is was meant to be. What does being a Christian mean? Well, we need to first define the word, Christian. A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ (defined by Google). Now that we know the meaning, let’s dive in. When you follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, your goal is to strive to be like Christ as he was when he walked on this earth. Jesus was perfect in all things. We, are not perfect and we will never be…

    Jezebel

      Her personality is glowing, she lights up a room But when no one is looking, she really rides a broom She is beautiful and pleasant to the sight But if you’re not careful, she’s got a venomous bite She can put a spell on you with her beautiful smell But you better watch out because she’s actually a Jezebel Her beautiful hair is like that of an angel But beware its a lure to her web and you she wants to entangle Her lips are soft and bright red But one little kiss and you may end up dead Her voice sounds sweet like a laughing baby on the…
