Bitterness epidemic=crack epidemic

To heal naturally from bitterness is like going through withdrawal. From my observation, it looks like death trying to hold onto its rightful place. It eats you up from the inside out. It changes your appearance. Your body starts to decay. So going through the withdrawal process, death is fighting to hold on, and rightfully so. You may go through stages of depression, anxiety, and severe pain. However, it's a process that has to take place to be set free. Is it easy to do? No, it's not. Especially if it seeps into your soul because of the continued pain. When I finally let go of people that no longer serve a purpose in my life then the healing will be more effective. Bitterness has made me so tired. Tired of the state of people's mindsets. So with that, I'm saying peace to bitterness and I am choosing myself finally.❤️🙏The withdrawal process will be painful, but if I am going to survive this life healthy, then I have to start pouring into myself. 

"Don't be bitter, but be better" C.D.

Waiting through the struggle (Bonus post)

🔥A short story for those who feel lost, and no longer have hope🔥Please just hold on, as I hold on as well. ❤️🙏

The Sun says to the clouds, "Why do you look so full of anger today?" The Cloud responds, "Well I have alot of tears that needs to be released, but I was told it's not time for the rain yet." The Sun responded, "Well we were created to do as we are told. We hold no power in ourselves." The cloud replies, "But do you see that woman right there? She needs the rain so she can cry her tears." "Nope," says the Sun, "she must wait. She was created to wait on others as well as nature, so she must be patient." It finally rains so the cloud is free of his anger. The woman is grateful for the rain. She sits in the rain and contemplates her life, wondering why her life feels robotic and stagnant. She cries a painful sob from deep within. She's grateful that it didn't rain the other day because if it had rained, she would have ended it all. She no longer cared about people, because no one cared for her. She felt hopeless, drained, and lost all empathy she once carried inside. She felt she was The Scarecrow, The Tin Man,  and The Lion all at once, with no brain, no heart, or no courage. So had it rained that day, she would stand out in the ocean and wait for the strike of lighting to hit her. The Sun explained this to the cloud and he understood the importance of waiting. Had he moved earlier than what he was told, he would have played a role in her death. So even though it was raining today, she now has a better perspective on life and will go forward to maintain the things she feels she lacks. The end🙏

Journey to the future

My journey to the future is everyday 

So daily I think of a better way 

A better way to function 

Because I recognize my dysfunction 

Which will lead to my destruction 

So I strive to see through obstruction

And have better production 

My journey to the future is everyday 

So I strive to love 

In a world that has none 

My journey is not an easy one 

As I watch people become undone 

A people that had hope 

But lost it due to the dope 

That was given to us by a pope 

Who wanted to see the destruction 

Of a collective that had production 

Now please don't be offended friend 

This is just my observation until the end 

My journey to the future is right on time 

Through writing, I can heal myself 

And possibly a nation 

If I keep the dedication 

And people let go of their dysfunction 

My journey to the future will force me to grow 

So I must be cautious of the things I sow 

So I march on forward 

And see what im going toward 

Understanding that my journey to the future is here now.🙏

Hope in the Hallelujah

I woke up in a dream like state

Wondering why all the hate

Screaming to the Heavens asking why

Not sure if I should even try

The light before me was so bright

I just wanted to say goodnight

The Voice said my child what have you been through

I finally responded right on cue

Most High, where have you been in my life?

As I walked daily with little might

I cry out to you from my soul

But my tears only fall into a bowl

I do bad things and you hate me for it

I never really mean to be disobedient

You judge me daily for my mistakes

And now Most High, I feel its too late

The Voice says, my dear one I do not hate you so

Its the pride in you I want you to let go

Thrown into a sea of forgetfulness, just like your mistakes

Dear one its never to late

I'm here to comfort you for all your days

I am here for you to adjust your way

My child, come here and cry unto me

And I will show you wonders daily

I run to The Voice who speaks with grace

And continue to run my race

Knowing the Most High is with me through and through

I feel peace and I hope you do too. ❤️

Workforce/Prison one in the same

A short day in the life

Prison Guard: Wake up for chow time everyone. Come on it's time to move it. 

Alarm clock: Beep, beep, beep, wake up, wake up, it's time to get up.

Prison Guard: Alright, on the bus time to go work.

People: running for the train, or bus to get to work.

Prison Guard: Okay, here is your task for the day, peel the paint off the wall, then repaint the wall, then off to the factory to box off items to ship.

The boss man at work: Okay here is your task for the day, I need this paperwork done by 10 am, go to this place to pick up blah, blah, blah, etc.

Prison Guard: Noon time, time for chow, and yard time. You get one hour 

The boss man at work: Alright break time. You get one hour.

Prison Guard: alright it's the end of the day back home now. On the bus, here are your pay, commission, and wages for a day's work.

The boss man at work: Okay ill see you tomorrow. Your check will come in a week. 

Is it me or do both look identical? I don't know maybe it's just...me🤨

Something to really consider and think about. 🙏👀🍵

Positive Encouragement through media #Tabitha Brown

🙌✨🎉🎊Today marks my 100th post. I'm so happy to reach this milestone. Again, thank you all for your support. I learned to post a video, so this one is for the little people. Adults can benefit too. Please enjoy it🙌✨🎉🎊

Good day folks. As parents, we strive to show our children positive media content. I wanted to bring attention to Tabitha Brown today. She has a children's show called Tab time and it's made for children to see themselves in a positive light in media. One of my children's favorite episodes is called Loving who you are (the link will be at the end of the post). They enjoy this because it teaches them that even though they may look different, speak differently, or whatever the case may be, they understand the concept of loving who they were made to be. We are not all made the same, and that is perfectly fine. They have gifts and dreams that are different than the next child. We are all uniquely made and when we understand that, we will flourish in life. So to Mrs. Tab, I appreciate your dedication and also for not compromising who you are. We need the light in this dark world.❤️🙏🕯️

            Loving who you are. Tab Time

My hair: A preview of my second book

My hair is described by so many different perspectives 

But never from my perception 

They say it's nappy 

I say it makes me happy 

They say it's wild 

I say I love my beautiful styles 

They say it's too loud 

I say it makes me proud 

My hair stands out 

With puffs, locs, or even left out 

My hair connects with nature 

Which was made by The Creator 

So don't be mad because my hair is versatile 

Just appreciate it without being vile 

My hair is beautiful, can't you see 

Because it's made for naturally me🌺

Sleep, i feel

Sleep I feel,

No sorrow 

No pain 

There is nothing I have to gain 

No rejection 

No neglecting 

No battles with why I'm not selected 

No burns 

No twist and turns 

No more life lessons to learn 

No expression 

No oppression 

No longer thinking about transgression 

No projection 

No protection 

No longer battling with depression 

No questions 

No expressions 

No longer having to make an impression 

No singing 

No thinking 

With sleep, I feel....nothing

Change of scenery

Haylo🕯️So I decided to change the scenery a bit for spring. To give it a brighter color, and some of the words you can see much better. I do hope I did justice to your sight lol. Any tips or suggestions, you can leave a comment, or you can contact me on the link on the page. Thank you for your continued support💐🙏

Judgment

Are we in a proper position to make judgments?

When many of us are not in proper alignment?

Living in a world full of discontentment?

Examining self, you will find a stony heart 

That was produced from the start 

We made it into a fine art 

Oh how we all fell apart 

Judgment 

Am I the one to make a call so sharp?

When I have thrown many darts?

And corrupted many weak hearts?

Oh, what have we become as people?

We have dug ourselves into a deep hole 

No matter how hard we try to climb out 

The dirt beneath our fingers keeps us blind 

We have become blind to the fact, that we too are dirt 

That have become hardened to someones plight 

Not seeing their fight...

Judgment 

How many of us called on judgment?

Without understanding, that their judgment will also be ours....selah🌷😳

The colors of a inward body

❤️This may be a little detailed for some, so please view it at your discretion❤️

What color is your blood?

Red or blue?

What color are your teeth?

Black, beige, yellow, or white?

What color are your eyes?

Blue, green, or brown?

What color is your hair?

Black, brown, blonde, or red?

What color is your heart? 

Crimson, Mahogany, or Black?

What color is your urine?

No color, red, black, or yellow?

What color is your feces?

Brown, gray, white, or black?

What color is the inside of your palm?

What color is the sole of your feet?

Do you hate the colors within? 

Do you try to harm yourself because you hate the colors within? 

If the answer is no, why do you hate the colors on the outside? 

If the answer is yes, then sadly you are the problem...

Selah~Pause and heavily meditate on🙏

Trying and crying times

"Listen as your day unfolds 

Challenge what the future holds 

Try and keep your head up to the sky 

Lovers, they may cause you tears 

Go ahead, release your fears 

Stand up and be counted 

Don't be 'shamed to cry

You gotta be 

You gotta be bad 

You gotta be bold 

You gotta be wiser 

You gotta be hard 

You gotta be tough 

You got to be stronger 

You gotta be cool 

You gotta be calm 

You gotta stay together 

All I know, all I know love will save the day"… ~Des’ree

Growing up my Aunt R used to play this song every morning before going to work. She didn't know this but I always looked forward to hearing it. It was a song of encouragement and strength. I write this to say that there may be tough days ahead. There are days when you may enter a season of crying and despair. And even lose hope. A part of me is in that season of lost hope. It's not an easy place to be. But I want to say that it's only for a time. My feelings are valid and so are yours. Not everything is meant to be swept under the rug. Sometimes it must be faced with full force. However, trouble doesn't last always. You and I will overcome and sometimes overcoming may be letting go of what was or what could have been. It may be hard to do but peace will come soon. So just remember to stay strong and understand that you are going to become stronger through this. 🌷❤️

What if?

What if a woman taps out?

Due to being stressed out?

What if a woman gives up?

Due to her life being in a rut?

What if a woman stands still?

Rather than struggle up the hill?

What if a woman gave up her womb?

Would the world become a tomb?

What if a woman walks away?

Would she be blamed for the rest of her days?

What if a woman stays alone?

Will the world feel her wrath down to their bones?

What if a woman cries for help?

Will they think she's only thinking of herself?

What if I stopped showing care?

Will the world miss my shares?

What if I lay down and rest?

Nothing, then the world will show how they failed this test...

🌷

Write where you are appreciated

Hey everyone. Sometimes, I feel as if im writing to the sky, and only the clouds know how I feel. At times I feel like my writing or input is not understood or worth reading. But I keep going because I know that there are individuals out there who can relate to how I feel. I think that if I stop I will be burying my talent, which I don't want to do. So I push on and keep on. It may be hidden for a season but one day it will be revealed to those who appreciate a difference. So if you write and may feel discouraged, keep going. If you feel like an outcast, there are some people who will understand our language and why we write the way we do. I don't fit in every conversation and I'm no longer going to try or voice my way in them. It gets exhausting after a while. I am me, and I write, that's all🤷‍♀️. Either receive it or not. Here's to acceptance and evolution❤️🦋

Writing goals

A few people that know me, understand that I have a passion for writing. I like to write short, realistic stories and poetry as well. Last year, I made a goal that I would put out a small book. Nothing serious like my life story. I achieved this but it's not what you may expect. So on a spring day, I will be sharing my writing via pdf or PowerPoint presentation whichever you choose. It's poems of life from my perspective. I have learned that we all have different perspectives and that's okay. We have different feelings, thoughts, and walks of life. What we can do is show empathy to each other while doing this thing called life. Life has a lot of twists, turns, fears, tears, misunderstandings, anger, and plenty more. The Most High has gotten me through them all and I continue to walk the battle of life with a sword in my hand ready at any moment to put it to use. When you look at the word sword, it's just words but with the 's' in the front. I want to use my words to maybe make an impact on this life journey. So look for my poetry writings here in a few weeks. See you soon❤️🌺
