The Knot

I can’t stomach these regrets
I want time
To reverse this curse
That has us believing
That we will never again
Endure
The passion and love
That anyone else
Longing for it
Would suggest that we
Tie the knot
Instead
It is increasing
The knot that has me ailing
Because I miss what was
The knot
A constant reminder of candle lit baths
Moonlit strolls
And
Late night talks
I want it to be removed
This knot
That because of you
Is now in my neck
But I just have to wait
Until he
Comes along to undo
This damage
This pain
That you have caused
Until then
I just hope you can live
With this regret
You have to deal
Deal with this curse
We must endure
But life goes on

Imperfection....

I do not believe that anyone is perfect. Hell God knew that, that is why Jesus died! We are human and capable of falling short. So if this is how we are, I will suggest that you embrace your imperfections. Don't try and change yourself for someone or allow someone to change themselves for you. If you can not love, or be loved, for who you are please omit them from your lives. It probably won't end well.

I applaud my imperfections for making me different. For making the aversion approachable and desirable because it's accepted by self. People love those who love themselves despite of, because your courage is intriguing and attractive. I find myself drawn to those who have confidence in their three mile gaps (no pun intended), ridiculously bowed legs or their unique style. I will not let my eyes stray because there is indeed something that is touching; it brings me to smiles and I won't forget them. Those people you want to tell everyone about them. And it's being messy, in a good way.


Self esteem is developed by self; never blame someone else for making YOU feel a certain way about YOU...That makes no sense to me when people say, "he/she/they lowered my self-esteem", How?? It comes from you. Kat Williams said it the best, "Self-esteem, esteem of your mother-fucking self"! I mean we all have days when we don't feel like our hair will ever be right, we need a haircut real bad, the out-fit is wack or makes us look fat, but that doesn't mean you always look like that or that is how people always view you! And even if they did! SO WHAT! A large portion of the time those people that are so worried about you and insecure themselves, and talk about others to take attention from themselves. I never concern myself about what someone says, ESPECIALLY if they do not know me. I am not saying that I am a saint; and just for the record everyone who comments on someones appearance is not insecure, they are just ridiculous. Some people don't think before they speak and show no concern until the tables are turned, then they understand. I call those people "I learn the hard way folks."

Bottom line, people are going to talk, but don't concern yourself with what they say. Make your opinion priority to you.

THINK ABOUT IT!!

Just a little note......

I am smiling, loving the day because I got through to him. He knows the definition of truth and forgiveness and I honor him; and when the time comes I will submit to him. I can never stop loving or giving my all to him, and I don't believe he wants me to. That's why I continue to show my heart through, writing and phrasing things in a way that only he appreciates, because he knows me. He listens to my heart and yearns for me. I have never experienced a love where loving comes easy; and when it gets hard we appreciate the misery, because perfection is scary.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!! YES WE DID!!!!!!!!

It is official; the President of the United States is Barack Obama, an intelligent, passionate, courageous African American man. Never in a million years, or in some of our elders' life times, would they assume they would get the chance to witness such an astounding victory for African Americans. So much surprised and excited that many lack the ability to see past color to capabilities. I would hate for African Americans to have voted for a man solely because he was black!

Thankfully Obama represents change, not only in a sense that America is evolving into a country who is more open to diversity, but in a sense that his platform and campaign stood for RIGHT; stood for CHANGE; stood for every resident of the United States of America’s security, prosperity and well-being. Obama’s campaign was one of the cleanest campaigns I have seen, since I have had the capacity to vote. He did an awesome job. He never succumbed to personally attacks, not dirt or scandal etc. He is an humble, god-fearing man who is not ashamed to proclaim his religious belief. He took that ounce of faith and multiplied it into a legacy.

While I commend those who voted for the first time in their lives, and pray that this will not be the last, I want to also encourage that we do our research. Vote on principle and character, not color. I am proud to have Barack Obama represent my country.



YES WE CAN; YES WE DID.
