If I Could Cook Any Meal For My Family

If I could cook any meal for my family, the meal would consist of macaroni and cheese, candied yams, greens, cornbread, and a baked ham. I would make it with my family instead of making it by myself. I would make it with my family instead of just cooking it by myself. I would make it with my family so that we can spend more time with each  other. If I made it by myself, it would take a very long time. But, with my family, I could create memories, have a great time, and just spend some quality family time with my family.

I Am Poem

I am blessed and beautiful in and out.
I wonder what is my purpose in life.
I hear birds singing to the heavens.
I see the sun rising; golden and majestic.
I want to truly know what love is.
I am blessed and beautiful inside and out.

I pretend that I am unstoppable.
I feel empowered and invisible.
I touch victory.
I worry about my goals.
I cry for the struggles of my family.
I am blessed and beautiful inside and out.

I understand that life isn't always easy.
I say "With God, I can do anything."
I dream of peace and happiness.
I try my best to be who God wants me to be.
I hope I fullfill my purpose in life.
I  am blessed and beautiful inside and out.

Do You Remember...

Do you remember me... I was there.
I was there when you needed me, but where were you when I needed you.
I waited....
Not for a call from the heavens, but for a sign saying that everything was alright.
As my eyes pierce into your soul now, guilt scratches your face, leaving scars of betrayal.
And as you stand over my grave now, not shedding a tear, I realize our friendship was nothing.
Do you remember me... I was there.

I Think I Was Brave

I remember when I was singing in the church choir and I was told that I had to sing a solo. Usually I'm not shy to sing, but when it comes to singing in front of people, I get scared. When it was my turn, a million thoughts popped into my head. What if my voice cracks? What if I forget the lyrics? What if I'm not on the right note? What if I sound horrible? WHAT IF.....? I wanted to just ask if we could just skip my song. But something to get up and sing. When I stepped in front of the microphone, I just took a deep breathe and started singing. All of a sudden, I was no longer scared. It was as if I wasn't the one singing. I was very proud of myself when I finished, not because I did well, but because I faced my fear.

If I Had $100 Dollars...

If I had $100 dollars and I couldn't keep it, I would give it to a homless man on the streets. I would want him to buy himself an extra change of clothing and something to eat. I would want him to save about $20 dollars for food so that he could go to the grocery and get some food to last him for a few extra days. I would also like for him to go and buy some basic neccesities such as toothpaste, toiletpaper, etc. I would just want him to get things that he can use for more than one day.

Untitled.

There was something about the way he talked to me.
Rythmn oozed from his crown to his feet... he was smooth.
His eyes saw into my heart, revealing all of my agony and pain; pushing me into a place of peace and timelessness.
His soul connected with mine.
I will always remember him.
He is my first love.
HE IS MUSIC.
