As I reflected and admired how far I’ve come

I realized I accomplished everything they said couldn’t be done

I took the hate that I faced and I let it make me great

Because it would be a shame for my life to go to waste

My Loving soul is something deeper than the galaxies

My Passionate heart is always helping those that are surrounding me

I seek to LIVE not merely exist

I am not afraid of disappointment

I am not accustomed to expectations

Because we are all humans and we are not all the same in our relations

I can’t judge another for I am not in their shoes

I can only be myself and not let our identities get confused

I will not sit on the sidelines and simply be a spectator

I will indulge in the differences and similarities

I will accept others for who they are and allow myself to be accepted as well

I am an angel walking through the slums

And sometimes it feels like hell

But I see beauty in the mess

And opportunities for success

I see depths in the shadows

and I hear cries to better tomorrow’s

If I were to ever put myself in the category they placed me

How would I have known the strength I have from within ?

I saw light in the darkness

and I reached in and grabbed it

Never letting go even when I was surrounded

by voices and people

Telling me to do wrong

Telling me it’s easier when you don’t care

Telling me it’ll all make sense

Just sit down and hold on

But I’m a mover and a shaker

I’m not meant to be complacent

Instead of being comfortable

I hold a vision in my mind

I get up and chase it

The odds I face it

The evens i embrace it

Because it’s my life

they can’t live it for me

It’s only my mind that will take me as far as I can see

If you limit yourself to just your surroundings

You’ll never see something new or anything that’s astounding

Take someone’s hand if you must

and show them your side of the world

Teach them to adjust

I don’t mean on vacations, I mean your mental stations

Opening eyes is a must

Your mind is a like a cup

You keep filling it with the right things

And soon it’ll be enough

You are only as strong as your weakest link

So when you hold in your knowledge

Just stop and think

It is helping me to be ahead of my brother

Or instead can we both succeed and help one another ?

Knowledge is to be shared that’s why I do it

Little messages full of faith

And reminders that you are great

Today is a gift

don’t look at it any other way

Forget about yesterday’s sorrow

Forget about what makes you feel hollow

Just go for the gold , go for the prize

Make moves and take actions that will negate your demise

Life is a game and you must play your cards right

&& even if you lose you still have a chance as long as you have life
