Midnight Poetry.

We all have those moments when we just can’t find the answer.

Or when we just can’t seem to get it right.

So we keep going until we win every fight.

Everyday, a soul has been broken.

Or a soul might just been taken.

What do we do?– Just about nothin’.

From across the nation we hear the cries.

We hear about the lies.

What do we do?

Add on to it, just to see who wears the BIGGER SHOE.

Justice and Freedom is what everybody wants.

We don’t stop to think about the little ones.

Just look at what we’ve done with their education.

That’s how we know we have a JACKED UP nation!

Excuse me, for acknowledging the truth.

That’s just what I ..DO!

Now, that you have a hint what’s going on in the world.

Now it your turn.

What can you do..

..to help our nation.

To turn it back to BRAND NEW!

Sick Day #3: A Mothers Touch

My Mom came in my room this morning and sit on my bed waking me up asking do I wanna go to school? Like ALL teenagers I said NO. But I had my reasons. Like any other mother with a heart she knew why and I didnt even have to explain why.

Getting off the bed she walked out my room coming back 5 minutes laters with GROSS medicine and a HUGE cup of Hot Chocolate!   She walked out saying “Feel better and I’ll call you every 2 hours. I love you”

Sigh. All I needed was a Mother’s Touch.

Sick Day #2.

When people are sick they tend to be depress, moody, and all out of whack! But me I try to keep a smile, stay very energetic, and get some sunlight! Since my mom wants me to stay inside I’m going to try to read a lot blogs and give love through my words! love you!

P.S Pray for me! I have a stuffy nose, back pains, and headache!

Sick Day #1

Yes! I’m sick! 2 days before FINAL EXAMS! . . . Great.

I need a Bible! Fast!

Transforming from a Child to a Young Lady.

Dear Mother,

You took me in when I was just a new born. You tried to keep me in church. And that was the most best thing you could’ve ever did. Now I know where to turn when my life is flipped upside down or when I need to give thanks, and that is most def* GOD himself. You even bought me beautiful things I never even thought of asking for. Kept me in a private school for my childhood life and then a charter school through junior high. Boy do I thank you because I love school. — but. .Our record player keeps playing soft and slow melody. But then it stopped and sped up. That’s when high school hit.  I started to see this dramatic change. Our relationship started to drift apart. Then I realized I was going through that . . “Teenage Stage”. So I decide to slow down the record. Lately we’ve been agruing over little things. My outfits, Dishes, my additude. But we mainly agrue about College. I feel that you don’t want me to leave. You want me here stuck in Los Angeles, California like all these other low-Lifes, no class having people! Sigh. (Sorry to those who fit that description but that’s just how I see it.) I was thinking to myself one night, maybe your afraid of letting me go. You want me to stay a little girl forever. Why can’t you just let that little girl go and except the fact that I transformed from a child to a young lady? How does that saying goes? A bird has to leave the nest to learn to how fly. (Correct me if I’m wrong, please)

Well, mom. I’m that bird and I’m asking you to let me spread my wings and learn how to fly. I bet I’ll be a darn good one too. aha. I’ll be taking off soon. I’ll always love you. I’ll still be your little girl. Like when I’m sick, a husband can’t take care of his wife like a mother can. Or when I need that girly bond, I can’t talk to my friends the way I talk to you. Just know that you were a great mother and I seriously hope to be one just like you!.

                            Muah,

A little LOVE in 2011

You finally realize what not to look for when your love have been used & broken.

When you been hiding in the dark and giving satan’s partner here on earth one of your gold heart token.

When you almost been tricked into having a physical relationship.

When after saying no your heart been ripped and you’ve been mentally tripped.

Just when you thought the pain was getting worse and your love have been put on a curse.

A hand comes to you on New Years night.

And just when you thought love gave up on you. There they are in plan sight.

You finally found what you been looking for your whole life.

On this note (poem) I will say:

I have finally found someone who have made me laugh, smile, broke me out my shell. Can I quote them? (I really hope so.) In his he is speaking about LOVE . .

I actually stopped looking and said I’ll let it just come to me, like if it’s meant to be it’ll come you know So the day that I said that, I asked Josh if he wanted to go to the movies with me and chopper that night, he said actually I’m going to the grove later you wanna come with, I said yea. We went to go see black swan and it came to me…

. . . Happy to say I feel the same way too. I guess REAL LOVE and MEN exists.

* PLEASE NOTE I’M NOT IN LOVE!  {Just yet }

Only if HE knew..

Only if he knew..
How I really felt.
Maybe he’ll care a lot more
Instead of treating me like some whore.

Only if he knew..
How I really felt.
How I care about his football career
And make sure he’ll never shed a tear.
How I care about his deep feelings.
How I care deeply about his family.

Only if he knew..
How I really felt.
Sometimes he make me feel invisible like I’m not even there.
As if I’m wearing a sign that says “beware”.

AND it only comes down to one thought…
ONLY IF HE KNEW…
HOW I REALLY FELT.

2 lucky games of Madden10 and Cereal in a Cup?

Okay there are 3 stories that are funny to me and somewhat lame. Lol but here it goes:

Photo# 1: My brother Jajuan decides he wants to play me in Madden 2010 and talk a lot of SMACK saying he was going to whoop me. But me being a very competitive person, started talking smack back! Little did he know he had it. Comin’ by the 2nd quarter of the game mouths were shut, eyes glued to the flat screen, and pretty sure trying to figure out the best plays to play. The forth quarter hit, he was upset that I was winning he was losing. When the game was over I shouted in joy. Lol. He started saying how he let me win and this and that (you know how boys get when they get beat by a girl hm um lol)

Photo #2: After last night game of Madden10 and defeating my little brother, he wanted to get another round in. So I played along with him; now I was determine I was going to win. But at the same time I really didn’t care because I smoked him the first time. Touchdowns after touchdown I was ahead he was behind. He caught up in the 3rd quarter. Even though he injuried almost all my players, I still manage to keep the game in tack. By the forth quarter he won by 3pts!!! Lol. Only 3. I’m still the bomb!

Oh and today was my day to wash the dishes. I was really procrastinating to get them done. I have my reasons! I been working very hard. I been making lesson plans, ordering dance wear, and making sure all my dancers are in tack for this school year. Which all of that has to at least finished by next week on august 23! Uggh. But yeah.

Anyways, I really wanted some good ole cereal but only thing that was clean was cups, forks, and spoons. So I went with a cup and spoon which really did the trick lol.

But goodnight, its 2 something in the morning and I have to be at work in like the next 5hrs! Uggh. I needs my moneeeeey. Lol.

Taking this Journey step-by-step.

I’ve been through the death stage. I’ve went through hell and back. I felt lonely. I’ve been in the dark, but yet still had the Lords light. I’ve seen and heard cries. I felt my angels pick me up and put in reality. {Thanks guys, but please don’t do that again. Okay?} I witness thousands of crimes. But I’m still taking this journey step-by-step.

You can say, my journey looks like crap right? I wanna say that too. But its not that it looks like crap, the point is it is “crap!” I’m thankful it’s that way.

Now, what I can say is that, God is doing this for a reason and having a good time too. But I’m not. I’m gonna say he’s giving me a test to see where would I go; would I turn to him or turn to the other side of my journey. And, sadly to say I been going to the other side! I don’t like that side. I lost track of my journey. This is what happening right now, yes right now:

I see the lords hand at the end of all my troubles, he’s there with comfort, peace, lots of love, and nothing but smiles. I look down that road and I like what I  see. So I take off running, like pastor Scott says “moving forward.” As I’m running I made a mistake, I looked back. Now I’m a track star, they have always told me to never look back while on the track field, it’ll slow you down. As I looked back I seen satan, all of my troubles, and his crew. I started to slow down. They caught up to me and grabbed me by the leg and I fell to the ground. Now I have bruises all over me, I’m trapped by the devils vines, that arose from the the ground. I been down there what seem like days, but its only been a second.

Not looking back, to see what’s going on. I looked up and seen the lords open hands still. Something whispered in my ear and it said “I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.”- Philippians 3:13-14. After I heard that, I don’t know what had happen, I gathered the strength and broke threw satans trap and put everything behind, and ran down the road but which really felt like I flew to Gods loving hands.

I’m thankful to be with the Lord our savior in Christ. I’m thankful to go down that rough journey. I’m thankful to be a witness of christ and it’s all time healing. I’m very thankful. With all that said, this is my journey and I’m taking it step-by-step, even when the bad times come I won’t solve it myself, I’ll leave with God. All I have to do is step out of his way and let him do his thuggtizzle. Lol. Just kidding. I’ll let him do his thing. love you guuyys!

Can I get some sleep around here?

Okay, so I know it’s Friday and I’m a teenager. Shouldn’t I be catching some random movie or roaming the malls with my friends? – NO! unlike any other teenager, I pass! -__-  I’m not the type of teenager to jump to any party I hear of or catch some lame movie, I’m just the type that stays home {at times!__trust I do go places!} get under my covers and stay until I feel like moving! {I’M NOT LAZY!}

However, I been working all day I just wanna relax and go to sleep. BUT guess what that never happened! 

As soon as I placed my head on my pillow, closed my eyes and just my luck that annoying thing that was invented called the telephone starts ringing! I picked it up said my hello and it was a bill collector! Really!? Ugh. I hung up. Then, my mom comes busting in my door asking do I have any clothes that needs to be washed! Mom Really!? Last but not least, my brother starts bouncing the ball on the wall likes he’s at a basketball court! He’s never gonna be like Kobe!  Uggh. Jajuan really!?

My question is what’s a girl to do to get some sleep around here!?

I JUST WANNA SLEEP!
