Sisters

Wake Up I am your strong tower, I am your helper, the one to catch you when you’re falling down, and ease the difficulty of getting back up. Will I ever feel envy in the face of your success? More than likely, but the stress is not on my envy it’s on my respect; I will honor your success as a God ordained orchestration in your life, and humbly wait for mine. I am your sister, my teeth were never meant to sink into your back. I will swallow my jealously and never create strife behind it. I am human, I am trying to express my humanity in hopes you’ll return the same to me. But even if I never receive any of what I give you, I should have never honored you solely to receive honor in my name. My reward will never be found in receiving attention for simply being humane to you, society has misconceived this notion but there is nothing admirable in behaving in the way you should have originally I am your sister, defaming you doesn’t glorify me.

All these words about this guy or this girl What about me? In a world filled with so many individuals and life forms, I think I've forgotten myself But how can that be? Don’t you live with thee?   I’m consumed with other people, and their thoughts and beliefs so I started to forget Imani  And it’s not selflessness or nobility, this isn't loving thy neighbor, it’s living for thy neighbor and disregarding thy self I idle by as I let others go before me, their needs and demands, wants and desires But who puts me first?

Psalm 23 - Poetry Selection (2)

Arghhhhhhh I'm so overwhelmed with my anger, frustrated by people's ignorance. Annoyed by people's lack of respect. My blog has become my sounding board I shall not want, it lead me to self-peace, it maketh me feel not like killing people, it restoreth my sense of humanity. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear myself more then anyone else; for I am thy worst enemy; for the rod and the staff may not comfort me but rather the enemies who face me.  10/25/13
For all those viewing, and all those to come(I pray and hope), I will be attempting to add a poetry piece/selection every day. If not at least 5 out of the 7 days of the week. Bear with me, my schedule is fairly demanding, but I hope you enjoy each piece and it offers some form of uplift, awakening, entertainment, and above all else thinking. Generating something for your mind, I feel as though it would be worthless if it didn't at least do that. Cheers
