Don’t Change

Posted on 30 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

How many times have you heard

these exact words?

They didnt know what you was

worth,

Don’t Change

You a good person

Don’t Change

you going to make someone happy

one day!

Just Don’t Change

How many times you going to tell

me I’m good, but still walk away

Don’t Change

Your heart in the right place

but, you too good for me

Don’t Change

You a keeper

I’m just not ready for long

term.

Don’t change

I’m tired of these words

Don’t change

How about I’m moving on

I Done Change

I don’t fall for the same kind

How about don’t you dare

say them words

I’m throwing in the towel

I’ve been there ever since you

were broken

I healed you just to have you use me

And you got the nerve to open

your mouth and say

Don’t Change

Im changing from the fool

I been

to the wise woman

GOD

created.

I’m here to tell you I changed

I thought I had to heal everyone

but I was wrong

I’m only here to do what God

created me to do.

Finally

Posted on 28 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

It took me a minute to get here…

Someone once ask me did I know

What I want…

The turn around and told

Me I didn’t know what I want…

Funny thing is they were right…

I never in my life

Wanted to fight for anything but

My rights

As a black woman

I find myself lately…

Thinking about

Fighting for love…

I thought love didn’t need

No fighting

If it was meant to be…

It would be…

I hate that saying…

Big time…

Then I find myself thinking…

Could any man have me wanting

To fight for love…

I’m still a little confused on it…

And been doing a debate in my head

For awhile now…

I don’t want to fight..

I want to give up!

I want to walk away…

Deep down…

All I want

Is you

Next to me…

Holding me down

Staying true to

What’s right…

I fell for you a long time ago

I thought I could

Fall out of love

With you with so many

Miles between us…

I thought no man

Could get me to change my

Ways when it came to that…

Boy was I wrong…

I thought I was solid as a rock…

I’m working on finding my way back

There!

It’s been rough!

I never been one

To stay still for one person…

I can’t even wait…

But I know I should…

That person is everything…

I need right now…

I don’t know about

Tomorrow!

Or next year

Or later on…

But right now

I know!

I’m not trying to think about the future without

You…

I’m not trying to picture my life

Without you…

I’m trying to dream it

Imagine it…

And while I’m at it

Pray about it!

I’m trying to make this right…

It’s hard when that person won’t acknowledge

You when they still in their own ways…

Something got to give…

It’s got me going both ways…

I always wanted to have someone that’s

Irreplaceable….

In more ways then one…

Always wanted someone that

Could complete me in more ways then one

If I throw it at them…

They are going to throw it back…

Stubborn as a mule…

Mean as a snake…

But gentle to the touch

And love in his ways…

Seems like I ask for a lot…

When a lot of peeps can’t even attempt

To stay true to themselves

I’m finally…

Admitting it to myself…

Took long enough

Going on 4 yrs in May…

Well it’s been a long time and a long

Journey!

Like to say Thank God for you!

Addiction

Posted on 27 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

Took her away from her
babies

They ate at her til she
came back full-time

His Anger
destroyed her

While his love
destroyed her will power

He use her
for his own purpose

Addiction

The drugs drove her away
from her family

How can you turn your back
on your babies

When she look just like you
when you had your looks.

The drugs change her

His frustration drove her
to walk out on him
and filled his heart
with rage and hate

Addiction

Destroyed him while
Their Addiction
saved their life

To give them a safe place
to live, and much love
to heal them

Addiction

destroyed a family.
A love healed the babies

Inspiration, poem, Poetry

I know the beginning of the week I mention my word of the Week would be STRENGTH! My inspiration today is my niece. You may be wondering why I pick her to be my inspiration. Well when she was born she couldn’t see out her left eye, well she still can’t really see but you would never know by looking at her and has so much energy to spare. She had two surgeries before she was a yr. old. She has to wear glasses most of the time, but let’s go back to when she was smaller she could pick up the smallest thing on the floor, while not being able to use her right eye.

STRENGTH

This little girl amazes me,

So tough and strong.

She’s a CHARACTER

A FIGHTER

The STRENGTH she has

She doesn’t let anything get her down

She can run you up the wall

So much courage

In her little body.

Her stamina can be compared

To a generator, she just keeps going

Her love is just as Strong

as her HEART

I step out my soul
to feel your love
Step back in to protect

We mold together,

We all on one accord

How Often

Posted on 25 Oct 201125 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

Can I give my heart to someone?

When my love is already promise to a man of my dreams?

How Often?

Can I love but feel dead inside?

As often as my soul is dying slowly…

How Often?

Can we have something…

Moving but not really moving?

Can I give my heart to someone who in need of a beat or two?

Can I move something in them?

Dead for so long…

How Often?

Will my words touch you?

And you still not move to what Im saying?

That saying Miss it when its gone…

A Low blow to my heart…

SO..

How Often?

Can U love….

but not really feel?

How long must I suffer?

As Often as you allow

my love to penetrate…

Often as you allow

me to waltz right in…

Often as u Mourn

the last brokenheart..

As Often as…

U beat to my heart…

How Often…

My Journey, Sickle Cell Anemia

My Journey

Posted on 25 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

My JOURNEY tells a story so does my name. I’m a POET at heart. Fell in love with it when I almost died when I was in 6^th grade. I knew I had a place to run to. On these JOURNEY I have learn a lot, I plan on bringing my poetry here that I have never shared with anyone. You will see where I come from and where I end. I may lose some on this JOURNEY, but as of right now. I don’t care. If you haven’t had the chance to read my ABOUT MEI do have SICKLE CELL ANEMIA, and these is my get away to express myself. I started my JOURNEY on love but it turns out to be more about ME! You will experience when I felt like I had to give up on love. How I came close to not believing in it anymore. Where would I be if GOD didn’t love me? HE died for us, so what if I ran into men that didn’t know what love was all about. I will share poems and question and stories through different times of my life. I can’t go a day without THANKING GOD, or writing about him. My friend told me the other day my blog looking more like Christian Blog. I’m not really worry about that. I’m happy even if I can touch just one person with my story. It’s a story of my life how I have overcome to many obstacles. How I lost my brother at young age, it takes a toll over you when you day and year apart. To the different time’s I almost died. God allowed me to love, he truly have a plan for me. I hope to fulfill it.

Thru Your Eye’s

Posted on 24 Oct 20114 May 2017 by poeticjourney

I see the man…

God created you to be…

Thru Your Words.

I feel your pain,

and emotions you had

to endure alone.

Let Me …

Heal You.

just these once.

Let Me.

Be Your

Shoulder..

for support.

Thru Your Eye’s

and Word’s

I see the change in you.

Thru Your Action.

I see so much in you.

Your Love…

Your Soul…

Your Heart…

When will you learn..

I’m here for you,

even when things get rough…

I can’t be there for you…

if you don’t open up to me…

Thru Your Eye’s.

you seem to be against the world

on your own…

You lose someone who

can’t take being shut out..

You lose a love..

that never can be replace..

I don’t think I can let

myself love you anymore..

Everytime..

I give you part of my heart..

You hurt me..

Thru Your Words..

I feel..

but don’t return the love..

Thru Your Eye’s..

I can’t see who

God wanted you to be.

You Lose Some..

You Win Some..

You Lost Me..

because you couldn’t

understand how a real woman

could love you

and be there for you..

Thru My Eye’s

You still hurt from the last one

Thru My Words..

I can’t even seem to care like

I use too..

I done change so much over the past

few weeks..

Your Love..

use to..

touch me in everyway..

Now It can’t even melt

the ice from my cold heart..

Thru My Soul..

I’m done with the

back and forth..

I pray you made it where God

Want you to be..

Let the next woman..

guide you thru your

hard times..

Let me hear about it..

And..

Not take it with you..

Thru My Words..

I’m done with you..

No lost love..

No Nothing..

Let My Actions..

Speak Louder Then Ever..

“Boom Boom”

Justice Bn Serve..

Me Time

Posted on 22 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

You choose to be just friends…

Why you making it

So impossible to forget you…

No, I don’t miss you…

You the last person to cross my mind…

But you are starting to tick me the hell off…

It was your choice to go our separate ways…

So Why?

Want you let me have my

Me Time

So Let Me Say These…

Real Talk…

I’m glad you said what you said…

I’m freer then I ever being before…

You don’t excite me…

You don’t move me…

So Give me my

Me Time…

Don’t be impossible…

Just be possible…

And follow my actions…

If you see me…

Act like you don’t know me…

If you hear me…

Act like I never existed…

I’m enjoying my…

Me Time…

Oh yea If you think…

This is about you…

Trust it is!
