STRUGGLES

With a resolute soul I face the struggle that came my way each and every day..

In the grip of Circumstances my unconquered soul, under the cloud of the wrath of chances, unbroken unbowed and unafraid.

I face the menacing days weeks months and years, ahead of me in my struggles, as a necessity gain as I discern what I learn of knowledge diligent.

The path before me though dark, outwardly in my sight inwardly it was bright with beautiful light

I trust my self when those who know me doubted me, I wait and never get tired of waiting.

In a optimistic spirit but i never allowing optimism to controls my reality. I meet my struggles with contentment

I treated the doubter and the naysayers as the same, like an impostor, My foe had no choice but to respect me, while those who claim to love me, admire me because in the end I’m consciously awoke.

Abstract love

My father was not a man of demonstrativeness, his affection didn’t
announced dramatic declaration of embrace, to interpret his affections is like
a delicate calligraphic, which required some patience and a keen eyes. This attributes I was not born with, though I acquired it eventually, I readily accept his abstract love and plucked out shared memories, strung them together like a treasured gemstones, as I strive continuously to attain his humility, while making his smile a staple of my subconscious…

NO hurt intended mamma

Divine mother, my mama, carrier of me
Nurturer of me, My Supreme Queen, My Heart.
Please understand my actions from a path led astray.
Haven’t being to this day in all that you say?
Though everybody struggles in finding their way.
I, often open up my eyes, and try to juggle which price to pay.
My decisions, while influenced by a negative taint
Stripped me of control in my use of restraint.
My pain is most felt in knowing I hurt you.
The causing of disappointment, worry and stress too.
My way or the high way has given me strife
And brought about sorrows that only takes from your life.
All that I have experienced affects you as well,
But I never meant for you to know any part of this hell
I can only vision the repercussion effect and imagine
what you felt.
Being too helpless to protect, I apologize deeply for the
Drama that was imposed.
How I tested your spoken words,
EARS OPENED, MIND CLOSED.
I now ask for your forgiviness.
For my primary concern is that you realize
I take this as a lesson to learn.
SORRY MAMMA
LOVE YOU.
