Living with Sickle Cell Anemia

Posted on 7 Dec 20114 Jan 2012 by poeticjourney

I must say I haven’t been doing good for a while, but I have been pushing it to the side and praying that it pass. Guess stress really do know how to get to me and my weary body. If you didn’t know the cold doesn’t do my body justices whatsoever. I couldn’t imagine living in a state that’s colder than Alabama. You probably thinking it don’t get cold here, maybe you right. But since I’m not fond of cold I can’t agree with you. I actually wrote a poem, that I will share.

Pain you have return

I’m praying you leave me

I’m hoping GOD hears my

prayer.

I done stress myself

before classes started

I done lost a love one

and mourn to my

chest tighting up

Pain you need to go

I’m praying for pain

free month

Headaches please vanish

You making it hard to

concentrate with my studies

Back pain…

Not today. tomorrow

or this month

Tears

please go away

I have cried enough

I choke back tears

GOD

Thank You

sometimes that’s all I can say

Pain leave my body

today.

My Song

Posted on 3 Dec 2011 by poeticjourney

I lay in bed with purpose

Beating in my heart.

I knew then and there

The love of my life

Was in the room with me

Holding me in his arms

You knew I would need you

Before you created me

My struggles or nothing

I’m giving them to you

I’m standing here with my arms

Lifted to you

God Almighty

I need you now

I can look back over

The years and see when

You carry me when I gave up

And died

You breathe life back in me

That’s when I realize I had a purpose

Grandma

Posted on 3 Dec 20116 Dec 2011 by poeticjourney

It’s been over a year since

You left us.

I know you looking down

On us as we bury your

Mother.

I heard she ask about you

Before she was call home & they told

Her you we gone, they didn’t

Have the heart to say you had pass

Today was rough on the family

I didn’t have the heart to see

You one last time

The tears fell and your daughters wept

Your sons stood strong, they hurting on the

Inside.

To see them stand strong for you

Three daughters amaze me

Grandma I hope you understand

I couldn’t see you like that.

I don’t do death

But I pray you in better place

Free as a bird, and sitting in Heaven with

Granddaddy and your parents and

Two daughters, give my best friend (brother) a kiss

Today has being rough, I know we all have to leave one day and I’m not scared of dying I just don’t care to see you after you took your last breath. Hard to explain, I thought I could handle it today with no tears, but seem I played myself because they fell. I took a lot before I exit because it was too much. I’m so Thankful for each and every one of you who prayed for me and my family. My mom side of family is big she had 5 sisters and 6 boys. 3 girls and 6 boys left. As you read the poem my emotions was everywhere sorry about that.

Why?

Posted on 2 Dec 201111 Jan 2012 by poeticjourney

I have unanswered questions

Why I didn’t walk down
The hall to see her?
Part of me felt like I
Had more time to
Spend with her.
The other part hated to
Feel trap around people’s
Who were breaking down
Why
It took me forever to mourn
The day I cried, broke me
I had to take my S off and
Lay it down because she survive
More than me!
She fought a good fight
That’s Why GOD call her home
I’m struggling because
Death find me.
My prayers to the ones who
Lost someone before my day
Came!
Why?
Wasnt I shock that God came
And took her.
I watch and heard her give up!
The doctors gave up on her
Why?
I’m learning to grieve
But not sure if I can say
Goodbye the right way
This weekend!
Why?
They going all out?
She cant see it,
I’m sorry I don’t agree
You show them love
While they alive
So many unanswered questions but seem like I got
the answers deep down

In Loving Memories

Posted on 1 Dec 2011 by poeticjourney

Today is your Birthday

I saw it was your day today

I avoided going to your page to

Wish you HBD

I know GOD knew

What he was doing

When he call you home

I read all the Birthday

Wishes that broke my heart

And reminded me

Of the strong woman

I went to school with.

I didn’t know you was

Sick or in pain

I saw peoples commenting

On your page.

The day I ask about you

I woke up and read you left us

It’s being five months

Since you left us.

BABYGIRL I miss you

I pray you resting in peace

With your mom

Looking down on your love one’s

They need you.

I’m blowing kisses to heaven

In loving memory of a beautiful

Angel

I miss you

You touch my life, wish

I had told you that before you left

I hope and pray my grandma

Sitting in heaven with you

And your mom

HBD

BABYGIRL

I love and miss you

Know your Worth

Posted on 30 Nov 20112 Dec 2011 by poeticjourney

It seem so many times we

Forget just what we worth

Just because someone did you

Wrong

They may have down talk us

To we feel like we was

Nothing

Remember GOD created

You, so nobody should be

Able to take your worth

Easy said than done

I know

I see a love of a mother is

Been degraded by the

Father of her child

The tears show her pain her

Friends/family reminded her

Of her worth

Value your worth if we

Don’t know one else

Will.

Ladies/Gentlemen know

Your worth

God sent his son

To die for our sins

So we could live for him

I’m not preaching

I’m just educating.

Value your worth

Know your place

Honestly Don’t Matter

Posted on 29 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

I’m gone…
U did it…
I walk…
U messed up…
It don’t matter….
I already said bye
u said whatever…
It don’t matter…
I’m a G…
N I know its killing you cause I don’t care…
I tried to care, but all I saw was you doing yo thing…
So I bounce & I’m good on my own…
I don’t care cause I never really love you…
I don’t care, I know you can tell now..
Everytime we talk it’s whatever n however..
And you like it wasnt even like that…
What we had wasnt anything serious
it was a journey & now its over…
I’m walking away…
Trust I’m never coming back…
I promise you these…
U had me once & now you lost me…
I died the night you screwed me over…
Did u see the blood in your hands…?
it was my soul…
Did you hear the screams in the back of you head?
It was me but you was so caught up you didn’t even give
a care…
I’m not mad… I’m just over it & I’m so gone…
It honestly don’t matter n
I honestly don’t care about you

God knows Best

Posted on 28 Nov 201128 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

Nomore suffering
He knew your pain
The burden you carry
After losing two
Daughters
That broke your spirit
He knew your pain and
Held you close to his
Heart
God knows best
Were sad you gone
Some angry and
Dont understand.
I pray your soul is
Resting in peace
God knew what
He was doing when
He call you home on
This cold gloomy morning
You have fought a good
Fight
And shared love
Laughter with the ones
You love for over 80 yrs
God knows best

Fighting to Live

Posted on 28 Nov 201111 Jan 2012 by poeticjourney

Fighting to live

She holding on for her family

The doctors have gave up on her

She trying to live for her child

She done lost two already,

It was a toll on her

Living for her daughter

It’s time for her to grow up

Fighting to live

Staying strong for her children’s

Laying in hospital room

Wanting to go home and sleep

Away.

Return to the same place one more

Time

Losing blood

Fighting to live

Children stand strong for your mother

She needs to know

Ya’ll going to be okay

Don’t fight or argue

Come together as one

Fighting to live

A mother on her death bed

Is fighting to live for her daughter

Grandma

I saw you get hit hard with death of your

Two oldest daughters

I couldn’t bare see you when

I was down the hall from you while

Recovering from having crisis

I pray you can make it to the New Year

Fighting to live

Who Is Your God?

Posted on 26 Nov 201126 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

Who is your GOD?

This title caught my attention

Who Is your GOD?

Can you truly answer that?

Have Money, Power, Fame, Drugs

Become your god

We shouldn’t put anything before

GOD

His truly a JEALOUS GOD

Have you ever prayed?

To money, power, fame?

Did it heal you?

It can go just so far

My question to you today

WHO IS YOUR GOD?

MY GOD

Is my Lord & Savior

He created me & you

He healed & blessed me

Showed me love

Showed me the way

Save Me

Forgave Me

I could go on

SO WHO IS YOUR GOD?
