My Own World! 

poetry, , , , , , , , ,

In my mind, I wander alone 

Lost in a world that is all my own 

Thoughts like whispers echoing in the night 

Guiding me through the darkness towards the light 

In this realm of dreams where reality fades 

I dance with shadows in secret masquerades 

A tapestry of memories woven with care 

In this sanctuary where my soul lays bare 

Let me drift in this ethereal place 

Where time stands still in a gentle embrace 

Lost in my own world yet truly free 

A moment of peace just for me to be 

-My Own World- 

Blessings and Love!

Sabotage.

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In my mind, a constant battle waged

A war between reason and impulse, uncaged

I knew what was right, what I should do

Yet self-sabotage always seemed to ensue.

Hurting those I loved, leaving them in tears

My actions driven by my deepest fears

I couldn’t seem to break free of this curse

My inner demons, my own worst enemy, perverse.

I pushed away those who wanted to help

My stubbornness, my pride, my greatest yelp

But deep down inside, I knew the truth

That I was the cause of my own abuse.

It took time and effort to turn things around

To break free of the chains that had me bound

Apologies were made, amends were sought

And slowly but surely, my life was re-wrought.

It’s not easy to face the harm we’ve caused

To admit our faults, to remove the gauze

But in doing so, we can find redemption

And learn to love ourselves without exception.

But damn sometimes it’s the

Self sabotage

That gets us!

Blessings and Love

Want What You Cannot Have.

thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Want it, Can’t Have it…..

Have you been in a situation where you have to walk away from someone love because you knew in your heart that the two you would not have worked out? I am just sitting here thinking of that person and I miss him. Been feeling so lonely lately and thinking and missing him is making me feel worse because that is who I want. Badly. I miss the way he used to look at me, our conversations, our silliness, our vibe, the compliments, and him always being real with me. We had to walk away from each other, and it still hurts. I want him in my life, and I still feel that it would not work out for me due to me knowing this person well the way they think, and their personality. Sometimes it annoys me wondering about what if. What would happen if we did have a relationship? What if we try now? Wondering if I made a mistake when I had to walkway from him. Hate feeling this way and again feel lonely and want him next to me even if not in a relationship with me just to talk to each other would be good. I need to find something to do because he is too much on my mind. SMH, I do not like it. He probably does not still feel the same way. Should I reach out or just leave it alone? Maybe too much time has passed.

 Or

Have you ever had a person in your life that could not let go? Did all the wrong things in the relationship and you endured a lot and decided to leave but they just will not let you go. Dealing with that currently. Yeah, today I am dealing with a lot got someone who wants me but I don’t want them I feel I tried so hard for years and got hurt and I am over it. Haven’t been with this person for years and they won’t let up. Yeah, fucking annoying. And then I want someone who probably does not want me or thinking about me at all, the difference is I am not bugging the other person or begging them to want me. Constantly calling or texting them. It is the want what I cannot have syndrome we both got I guess lol. Emotions are everywhere though

Damn, can I catch a break…. LOL a little too much at the moment.

That damn feeling of wanting what you cannot have……

Blessings and Love!

Pay Attention!

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , ,

Pay attention!

Open your eyes, look around

Are you really paying attention?

Open your eyes, watch those who are close

Are you paying attention?

Open your eyes to how they treat you

Are you paying attention?

Open your eyes, your ears to what they speak of or about

Are you paying attention?

Open your eyes before it is too late

Pay attention and be alert, open them up!

Loyalty!

poetry, , , , , , , , , ,

Loyalty is a virtue, rare and true 

A steadfast bond that I imbue 

To those I love, to those I know 

My loyalty forever shall flow 

Through thick and thin, through joy and strife 

I stand by those who enrich my life 

With loyalty as my guiding light 

I navigate the darkest night 

Loyalty is more than just a word 

It’s a promise that is always heard 

To be there for those who need me most 

Loyalty is an unwavering host 

I cherish this noble trait 

And hold it close to my heart innate 

With loyalty as my guiding star 

I’ll shine bright and travel far 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Embrace

thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In this life, it is important that you embrace yourself to the fullest. It is good to take the time to celebrate you. Embrace all that you have and love yourself to the fullest. Embrace the good times as well as the hard times, that is what makes you wiser and stronger. Embrace your healing process and be gentle with your mind, body, and spirit. Embrace your inner happiness and peace. Yes, life happens but always be true to yourself. Embrace yourself, embrace life….

All of it! Just Saying!!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

***This post was inspired by my daughter, also a writer. She thought that I should write about embracing yourself. Big shout out to her, got to love her***

Destiny 

poetry, , , , , , , , ,

On a journey vast with twists and turns 

I follow my destiny, my spirit yearns 

Through valleys deep and mountains high 

I seek the truth beneath the sky 

With courage as my loyal guide 

I’ll face whatever may come 

Each step I take, each path I choose 

Leads me closer to my destined views 

Let the winds of fate unfurl 

As I travel in this wondrous world 

My journey’s end I cannot see 

But I’ll embrace it, for it’s meant to be 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading.

I, Self-Aware

poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am a force, self-sufficient and strong

Independent in my choices all day long

Love is my fuel, my passion, and drive

I thrive on it, and it keeps me alive.

My heart beats with a rhythm of its own

Guiding me as I walk life’s unknowns

I am tough, resilient, and unbreakable

My spirit unwavering and unshakable.

I love myself most, but I love others too

For love is the bond that makes us all new

I stand tall, proud, and free

My independence is a testament to me.

-I, Self-Aware-

Blessings and Love! 🖤🤎💙💛💗💚🧡❤🤍💜

Feeling!

poetry, , , , , , , , , , ,

Feeling of wanting love

Feeling of nah I don’t think so

Feeling of letting it all go

Feeling of nah some has to pay

Feeling of wanting to be alone

Damn

Feeling that Ray needs someone

Feeling of giving up

Feeling of nah got to keep going

Emotions everywhere

Feeling of being lost

Feeling like homegirl go find yourself

Damn feelings of being hot, being cold

Feeling very nonchalant

Feeling like turning my back on the world

Feeling!

And Ray doesn’t like it.

-Feeling-

Blessings and Love!

Battle with myself

Poems, poetry, Short Stories, thoughts, , , , , , , , , ,

Battle with myself!

I look in the mirror and there are times where I do not like who is starring back

Telling myself to face my fears, be strong

I am battling myself it is tough battle trying to keep control of what is going on around me

I feel like I am losing. The doubting myself, feeling ashamed, I am feeling unworthy

I am battling myself through it all the good, the bad, and most definitely the ugly and the worst

I am my own worst enemy hard on me

Sometimes I like who and what I see and times I do not

I say to myself to suck it up it is life

Battling myself trying to keep from crying

Trying hard to fix my crown

Daily struggles sometimes hold me back

Battling myself this woman is hard to deal with

Tough and strong I say back to the mirror you got this, keep going, stop being in your own way

Battling myself I say take a breather and get back to it

Battling myself it is me versus me

A battle I will come out on top of

Me battling myself through it all enough is enough

Me battling myself it is time I choose I as I stare back in the mirror with a smile

I chose I in this battle with myself!
