Determined

Determination

When the going gets harder and you feel its impossible to move forward,
You gather the strength required inside you to finish.

When it feels like it’s a lonely path that your walking alone for days,
Don’t give up on yourself to find the light at the end of the road.

When your unappreciated for what you do, and you wish you can find another,
Look in the mirror and tell yourself you are worth it.

When assistance is not existent, and you feel your drive diminishing,
Don’t allow others to carry the burden for you, for the reward is sweet when the timing is right.

Give yourself credit for the decisions you made in the past,
While learning from the mistakes of others to provide experience and wisdom.

Determination is the key to all of your accomplishments.
Never forget who you are or where you come from to pave the direction in your success.

If I can change the world

If I change the world

At times I feel that I could touch the sky,
High, the feeling of flight,
Capable of fixing anything at anytime that I try,
I often fantasize about the taking the negative from this world,
And hurling it to outer space to evaporate into dust.
Sometimes I wonder how my day would be without the issues I see,
Can we forgive those who caused us problems if we,
Could somehow take every moment like its our last do we,
Fulfill expression that fills the soul or be alone, unhappy.

At times I feel like all my problems cause the reasons for living,
A sign given to me, a purpose, something in life that needs fixing.
I look beyond the simple factors that a decision is brought to attention,
The reality of being imperfect tends to somehow relieve tension.
If I can bring the world joy in my motives and action,
I plan to do it all again, in this stage of generation.

Superhero Suit

It must be the superhero suit that allows her to do what she do,
Their not no ordinary woman by the way they walk in those shoes,
It must be the superhero suit that allows them to swag like they do,
Got a man wanting a ms. Superhero to be my boo.

We call her astronomical, Ms Independent, and Boss,
The type of girl who does it all, a winning team without a loss,
Walking around calling the shots, walking around so confident,
The type of woman you dream about, gorgeous and acts so elegant,
The way she wears that power suit, black tight and hugging fit,
Black stalking, dress up to her thighs, making every man forget,
Yet doesn’t show just how she feels, all business gotta keep it real,
Makes you wonder how she treats her man, how good it must feel.

It must be the superhero suit that allows her to do what she do,
Their not no ordinary woman by the way they walk in those shoes,
It must be the superhero suit that allows them to swag like they do,
Got a man wanting a ms. Superhero to be my boo.

Free Bird

Free bird

Chorus
Free bird.. Free bird come home…to the world you left.. you are not alone..
Free bird.. Free bird come home...its ok to cry, you don’t have to do it all, on your own..

Verse One

She was, spirited child, longing for attention in this world, of fairy tale..
She was, beauty by the sea, often seen by most as cheerful, though there’s something there.

A center of attention, through most of her life, a shell of the joy she’s seeking, but judged for what’s denied.

hundreds of people she pleases, though most are not real, longing for the love that she’s hopeful to fill… to fill…

Chorus
Free bird.. Free bird come home…to the world you left.. you are not alone..
Free bird.. Free bird come home...its ok to cry, you don’t have to do it all, on your own..


More songs in the near future..

"You gotta get up"

Im in the process of making a bunch of new songs, hopefully after my family and I get settled into a new home soon.

Here is part of the song I wrote to inspire those who have experienced falling....

Verse 1
There will times in your life when all you know will be gone,
Driving your insane when all that is rights, going wrong,

You try to fight but the battle just prolongs,
And as hard as you try you still lose all along,

You fall and you cry and anger fills inside,
Is it you, is it faith, was it all just a lie,

You try to piece it, and you’ve tried to release it,
But all that you got is finished and you missed it.

Whats the next step from this, when you’ve given your all
But life takes a spin and your world starts to fall..

Chorus
You gotta get up from your knees when you fall to the ground,
When tears stop falling and no one else is around,
Build strength from inside as you go for a ride,
Take pride, everything is gonna be alright.

Its not over till its over, have courage over fear,
As you stare through the person across the mirror,
For each time that you fall, you gotta get up,
The rough gets going when its opposite gets tough.


More songs coming soon..

“Its just not meant to be”

Its just not meant to be I’m told when efforts go a stray,
It’s just not meant to be I hear from voices of those who don’t have much to say.

It’s just not meant to be, I read on paper standing there like a fool,
It’s just not meant to be, I tell myself as my facial expression plays it cool.

It’s just not meant to be, I see as chances pass me by,
It’s just not meant to be I say to myself, while deep inside I wonder why.

It’s just not meant to be, but do not worry it will come,
Its just not meant to be, just be patient for the one.

It’s just not meant to be, revolving in my head it spins,
It’s just not meant to be, I say until my patience is thin.

It’s just not meant to be, though efforts from others seems so willing,
It’s just not meant to be, they say cause its not their will that’s dying.

It’s just not meant to be, told so often like it’s the answer to all concerns,
It’s just not meant to be, seems like some BS’ reply to those who do not learn.

It’s just not meant to be, I whisper as I go to bed at night,
For its just not meant to be is the final statement as darkness overwhelms the light.

The Worthless Promise

The definition of a worthless promise, is similar to manure.
It smells and full of poison willing to corrupts those who are pure.
Its often used to build relations to those you are not close to,
But heed this warning, be wary of those who gives it so often to trick you.

A worthless promise is categorized as a favor in return for another.
Its often told by old acquaintances but can be as close as someone’s brother.
A conniving method used by snakes similar to Adam and Eve,
You rub my back and I’ll do the same is the wording similar in deceit.

A worthless promise is as useful as a fire in the rain,
Its may look nice in other forms but the result will be the same.
Do not be fooled by its glitter and its shine through atmosphere,
Because in the end its manure you are taking in, just to be clear.
