Too Bad...

Too bad I can’t be who and what you want me to be

But the truth is I only know how to be me

The one who despite it all still holds her help up high

The sassy, confident free spirit and loyal ride or die

 

Too bad I don’t do the things you want me to do

But the truth is I live my life for me not to please you

So if I do things you can’t figure out or understand

Let it go and trust I’m doing the best that I can

 

Too bad I don’t say the things you want me to say

But the truth is I wouldn’t have it any other way

Because I sing and dance to my own special beat

I’m just me doing what I do with no need to compete

My True Essence

Throwing Shade

I've been noticing you throwing a lot of shade my way

I usually ignore it but today you caught me on the wrong day

I don’t know what’s up with the little snide comments

Or the unnecessary bullshit, drama and nonsense

I’m confused because I honestly don’t know

What is it that has you hating on me so

I’m sure it’s not anything physical so it must be my style

Whatever it is has obviously been bothering you awhile

So you just keep right on trying to dim my light with your shade

Because throwing shade on my light will eventually cause yours to fade

 My True Essence

Be The Light...

Be the light…
That shines so bright
That motivates others to do right
That inspires one not to give up but to fight
That provides peace in the middle of the night

Be the light…
That brightens someone’s path
That protects them from evils wrath
That guides them through the storm
That blankets them and keeps the warm

Be the light
That will always be there
That treats all people kind and fair
That does not judge or condemn
That stands and prays for them

Be the light...

My True Essence

Resentment… Another Silent Killer

The state of resentment
Not a good place for contentment
Holding onto things I should let go
Allowing them to take root and grow
Spreading unhappiness into my soul
Destroying the very thing that makes me whole
It’s like an anger that never dies
Or a truth fighting to defeat the lies
Letting it go is the only way to be free
The only way to ensure it doesn’t silently kill me

My True Essence
