  • Where Love Exist

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Where Love Exist”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Where Love Exist) is reality is more fake than my fantasies.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Find me in wonderland. A world created in my mind, A world I can withstand… A world where it’s real when we hold hands… Where we beat drums and play flutes like one band… Where when we cry it’s real and not to gain fans..  Here we don’t have two faced game plans.. We don’t scream for the people and shake hands with the same oppressors that will break your mans..  We grow food from the earth and build strong houses on our own land.. Where every person got a real chance…  opportunities to advance in farmland and not how many people can I brand to a corrupted political stance.. Where a jealous spirit have no legs to stand and the human on the other side is free to dance… where torture is banned… Where we reprimand in love..  A fantasy, I understand. I don’t care to look out in the waking world where every man can get it, especially the innocent, the fatherless, the motherless, those left behind, those who only hold one voice, their own in their broken hands… I will stay here in wonderland.

  • Is It Too Much?

    Men and Women reciting a poem titled: Is it too much?

    (Poem) “Is It Too Much?”

    Author: Jim Kelly

    A question for our ancestral slavers
    From my brown sisters, brothers, cousins—
    from all of us,
    still bearing the weight
    of history
    on our backs
    and in our blood—

    Is it too much to ask
    for our love,
    our loyalty,
    a lifelong obligation—

    to repay debts
    for the mere fact
    of our existence?

    4 July 2025
    Jim Kelly

    Author’s Commentary:
    “Is It Too Much?” was written as a quiet but firm confrontation—a question posed not in
    anger, but in clarity. It reflects the enduring emotional and psychological burdens that
    descendants of enslaved people carry, and the audacity of expecting gratitude or loyalty in
    the absence of historical reckoning. Written on July 4th, it challenges the nation’s
    celebration of freedom while so many still carry chains made of memory, injustice, and
    silence.

    Quoted Message From Author: I watch. I write from the perspective 71-year-old African American. Poems inspired by childhood pain, protest, policy, and the people who get left behind.

    Reader thoughts: This poem titled: Is It Too Much? is heartfelt and gives a voice to the oppressed. There is nothing more inspiring than being able to acknowledge African American cuts are still bleeding and in many cases reopened. The first step is acknowledging.

  • Hidden Souls

    Man reading poetry titled hidden souls

    (Poem) “Hidden Souls”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Hidden Souls is sometimes I wonder why did the Most High put it in my heart to want to be a decent human when there are so many road blocks in choosing that course.

    Author: Urban Poems

    My cards I turn face down, hidden in the silence of sound..
    My speech is bound, because my spirit must stand still on open ground.. I go inward to treat my wounds.. At times allowing my tears to go, for another round.. and My cards I turn face down.. in an unfair race of life and death my spirit holds its frown, afraid to turn to the lost and found.. because to be found by man I will be forced to reject brown tears and be a hand to confound my peers.. With my pleas to unite rejected by whole towns.. With chaos being all I see around.. My cards I turn face down.. I know that what is in my spirit is right but with no more strength to fight, turning my back forced, I lounge.. unable to move without the help of another noun.. Unable to fold.. My cards I turn face down..

  • Answer To Your Question

    Man reading poetry titled Answer To Your Question

    (Poem) “Answer To Your Question”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: ‘Answer To Your Question’ is I support freedom of speech.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I can’t share the guilt you feel for persecuting me without a crime.. you tell me to vibe high but hate to see my due process of crying.. You asked me “Who are you?” when I was never the one hiding.. I heard what you Really said through the shield of words. You, are really hurt. While telling me to smile the whole time you relied on and needed tears in my eyes.. As soon as I started to climb out of the gutter of binds you came back and argued with yourself 3 times.. and from my perception your perception is the definition of lying.. I’m sorry I can’t hurt for you anymore. I can’t be the one you look to and feel better because at one point I felt worse than you. I hope you feel better, this is me replying from my point of view. This cue is and always was Freedom of speech I’m reciting.. this is not personal I appreciate you for using your words too, from yours true, kindly.

    Readers thoughts: This poem inspired me to understand that freedom of speech is a right we all have and should never be treated as a crime.

  • We’re Listening- “My Love”

    woman reading poem titled: We're Listening- My Love

    (Poem) We’re Listening- “My Love”

    My love. . . -We listen with our thoughts and hearts/ When your worlds are softer and true
    When what falls from your lips comforts and soothes
    We listen carefully and quietly when your intentions are not emasculating and dark
    For you will always be the sweetest Whisper, the sweetest of Whispers in our hearts
    We are quick to convey our love
    When what you’re speaking is like the morning dew
    You’re constantly pulling our heart’s strings when we know your respect for us is
    something old and something new. ️

    You must know that there’s a force of darkness
    Trying hard to erase the unity of us
    Attempting to separate the truest meaning of love that comes only from above
    But what we need from you
    Are constructive conversations about us
    Not one-sided words of aggression
    That limits who we are

    There’s a kindness we both possess when we’re composed, and assurance is felt.
    When we know we have each other’s back, front, sides, and everywhere else

    So please let this animosity fade with positivity and faith.

    I’ll place the rose petals before your feet as you bask in reassurance and grace. ©

  • When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed

    Girl reading poem When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed

    (Poem) “When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed”

    “The psychological trauma of
    diminishing self-worth
    within any culture or ethnicity is
    self-destructive and inevitable,
    leaving a void filled with confusion
    and mental anguish.”
    -paul a. felix sr. 2023.28.01

    “When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed”
    When rare diamonds go unnoticed
    Darkness increases to cover the
    True beauty and purpose of
    a thing
    -Violence is the only knowledge of
    Mad men, their understanding is
    An unjust weight
    -Deplorable, disgusting, a stench
    In the nostrils of justice were liberty
    Is often denied
    -Where eyes once filled with hope
    And liveliness is darkened by
    Irretrievable deeds of souls
    Broken and hardened by the
    elements of self-hatred

    -What escape do they seek
    In hope of a borrowed redemption
    Where darkness excludes the
    entrance of light
    -We’re reminded that animation
    And expiration is vying for the
    Same position
    -Wielding anomalies of past
    Aggressions and proclivities
    Where humiliation and shame
    Remains stagnant
    -The breadth and width of our
    Existence is as colorized
    Vapors, sealed and compressed
    In an hourglass horizontally placed
    -Immovable is a lesson
    unlearned

    Mapping the trials of life
    Like tattoos newly placed
    on ageless skin

    The irrevocable fallacies of
    The mindless man is often

    Weightier than the desire
    To live

    Provoking the spirit of
    Judas to arise and defend
    What self-condemnation
    has swallowed. ©

    Dedicated: To all the slain Brothers and Sistaz and victims of the Criminalities of
    corrupt policing practices and unjustified killings of our fellow citizens.
    Bloodshed of the innocent is an abomination! (Proverbs 6:17)

    Quoted Message from Author: Before I was born, my mother made sure poetry was in my DNA, she read poetry to her unborn child, of course I’m talking about me, the youngest of 7 Langston was her favorite.

  • This Is Still My Voice

    girl reading poem titled: This Is Still My Voice

    (Poem) “This Is Still My Voice”

    Author: Doreen O’Neill

    I have dyslexia.
    My thoughts have always been…
    those of an artist —
    but they don’t always
    come out clean.

    Sometimes they rush.
    Tangle.
    Freeze.
    Or scatter across the page
    before I can catch them.
    But they are still mine.

    I see in pictures.
    Feel…
    everything.
    Taste the weather.
    Carry music
    in my chest.

    My mind is a film,
    a painting,
    a long run
    through fields
    with ideas
    flying past.

    I’m neurodiverse.
    I think differently.
    That doesn’t mean I’m broken.
    That doesn’t mean I’m less.

    I remember —
    being a child
    in school —
    tiny hand gripping
    a big blue biro
    in my LEFT hand.
    And a teacher…
    placing it firmly in my right.
    Telling me,

    “Write properly.”
    But I couldn’t grasp it.
    That’s why now,
    I use both hands
    to write
    my truth.

    So why —
    when I use AI
    to shape my thoughts —
    do people act like
    I’m cheating?

    Do you shame a runner
    for using a prosthetic leg?
    No.
    You cheer.

    AI helps me express
    what’s already there.
    It listens.

    Sorts my feelings.
    And helps me give them form.

    The school system
    never knew what to do with us.
    It measured spelling —
    not soul.
    It didn’t see the art
    burning in our right-side brains.

    I’ve always loved art.
    Music.
    Mary Oliver’s The Journey.
    Beethoven.
    Jazz.
    Unbearable Lightness of Being.
    Running.

    Now —
    I walk in wild places…
    and feel

    every
    leaf.

    Would you tell Einstein
    his spelling made him small?
    Or Frida Kahlo
    her pain didn’t matter?
    Would you say
    my way of thinking
    isn’t valid
    because it moves
    in colour?
    In texture?
    In story?

    This…
    is still my voice.
    No less.
    No weaker.
    Just wired…
    differently.

    And now,
    finally,
    I have the tools
    to let it sing.

    Quoted From Doreen: I’m a 60-year-old writer and spoken-word poet with dyslexia.
    Words have always lived inside me—more as images, textures, emotions—than in perfect grammar or spelling.

    Readers thoughts: Firstly I would like to say this poem is powerful. With that, this poem titled: “This Is Still My Voice” inspires me as a reader to see the beauty in each and every difference and similarities.

  • “It’s a perspective thing”

    Boy reading poem titled: “It's a perspective thing”

    (Poem) ““It’s a perspective thing””

    Mfs like to victimize!, create all types of storms then try to run and cry, prolly shoulda dressed
    more appropriate for the weather outside! or you can just dig deep inside where accountability
    lies and accept that you caused your own demise. We all have decisions to make for our very
    own betterment. It’s no one’s fault if you don’t know what’s best for you or yours, cuz your own
    worth and self love determines that. Whatever bridged, burned is no longer my concern. I’m only
    building and learning done with putting together pieces that are meant to be broken. We are all
    humans and everybody makes mistakes! But true growth always comes from acknowledging the
    part you played. It’s so easy to play the blame game when you don’t wanna be held
    accountable. I have no problem with saying ” I fucked up” or ” I know better”. A lot of individuals
    are in the “knowing” and still refuse to do better. Lessons aren’t lost so even when it’s a lil
    stormy I look forward to the nice weather. Step into the light, ain’t gotta be intimidated by my
    energy just understand that fucking with me, gone get you some shit that you don’t want but
    need. I talk how talk cuz I’m forced to dumb shit down, Hmu when you wanna listen to some shit
    that will shake ya soul! I’ll be around, I walk wit a lil stroll cuz I ain’t scared to hit the ground,
    been there done that I’m playing for keeps, ain’t no going back and naw I can’t match ya nasty
    ass energy. Never thought I was better than the next, I just came a long way! Grateful for a
    peace of mind so these thoughts gotta get expressed. I feel like if you think somebody thinks
    they’re better than you then maybe it’s true because I always felt like everybody was my equal.
    But I can only speak for myself. I learned a long time ago that I have a different point of view. I’ll
    never judge ya for shit! do you boo boo, I respect mfs who ain’t afraid to step into the light, even
    with a dim light you’ll shine just not as bright, cuz sometimes shit takes time to get right!
    Perspective is everything is all I’m saying….

  • Who Are You

    Girl reading poem Titled: Who Are You

    (Poem) “Who Are You?”

    Author: Dezalita Ranee Green

    Would you believe me if I told you that I know exactly who you are! I see past the
    facades, yeah life’s been hard but every time the big man wakes you up, that’s your chance to a
    fresh start! I get that you’re mentally frustrated and emotionally scarred. But as long as there’s
    life in your body, you gotta play your part.
    Whatever happened to you, already did! I’m so sorry that your trauma always makes you think
    back to when you were a kid, but this is reality ya dig?… Nobody at this date should have to pay
    for what you’ve been through! It happened, let it go! Not for them but for you. You either can
    pass out hate or decide to be great!
    Just understand that what you give is what you get! It’s time to be intentional, you gotta
    be more precise. You can blame whoever if you want, but at the end of the day, it’s your life. You
    can only get hurt when you focus on hurt, that’s the law of attraction, now it’s time to take action
    on what you desire.
    Whoever told you that you didn’t deserve to be happy was a liar, you have to make a
    choice to vibrate higher. Don’t you wanna get back to that person before the pain and trauma and
    rainy days? You gotta pray and focus on the good, because playing victim will only leave you
    yearning to be saved. How long are you gonna let the wounds from your past hold you down? In
    order to heal, you have to acknowledge that mfs treated you how they felt on the inside. You
    have to claim the strength behind that trauma in order to restore that love, confidence, and trust
    back into yourself, even if you take it slowly. You’ve been lost for a while, I get it. But now it’s
    time to take a stand and figure out who you are! Because what you’ve been through should never
    determine that!

    Reader thoughts – This poem Titled: Who are you -? inspires me as a reader and reminds me of a movie I watched recently. In the movie the man became blind as a child and his dad would tell him to turn his weakness into his strength. Never stop being as best a person as you can be; a gentle nature can be a weakness, a gentle nature can be strength. A brute nature may scare away a beast but a brute nature will also scare away the butterfly of peace.

    The painting style for ‘Life’ is Impressionism. What’s more, there are 7 main painting styles. The first is realism, in which the painting looks very similar to its intended mimicking. Secondly, there is a style known as painterly. This style is also realistic, but allows for non smoothing of the texture which may seem like a technical error. Thirdly, there is a style known as Impressionism. This style allows the artist to draw what looks like realistic images within a blurred surface.

    Fourth there is expressionism and fauvism. This style is composed of bold color and seeks to express spooky or exotic in nature. Fifth is a paint style known as Abstraction. This style removes the main definition from its context, stripping it of fine details. Coming in at number six is the painting style abstract. This style is composed of colors and textures. Last but not least the seventh style is Photorealism. This style is meant to look identical as if it is an actual photo that was taken with a camera.

    Man Standing reading poetry Titled: Unapologetically Black

    (Poem) “Unapologetically Black”

    Unapologetically Black

    Constantly reminding myself what it means to be darker than what society has deemed beautiful

    From Bodegas in NYC
    the melting pot of the universe

    To narrow minded southern cities tucked away in “American “tradition

    My kind ain’t right
    Hair loc’d , lips asymmetrical
    Black is what my momma made me
    Proud to be who I am

    500 years can’t define
    My race, creed nor religion

    I stand a fixed in a place destined to gentrify my community

    Oppress my ken folk
    Leave my brother in the prison industrial complex

    Make it hard for him to learn the realities of the world outside a jungle context

    Dying to be free from the oppressor
    All I know to fathom is how to be the lesser

    Of 2 evils
    My patience running thin

    Knowing WHAT we represent

    Oshun
    Osiris

    Warriors , leaders, inventors
    Melanin worth more than gold

    I stand a fixed forever

    Unapologetically Black

    (Poem) “What I Mean”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: “What I Mean” is what I think of when I think of peace.

    Author: Urban Poems

    This peace is easy.. like the way the leaves blow when it’s breezy.. sometimes she tingles in my brain just to tease me.. like how the healing from the warm sun can freeze me.. in mid stride I pause and breathe in God’s peace when he feeds me.. When it comes to him I’m greedy.. I read his word like I’m needy.. I plant his seeds in my heart deep.. I don’t compete because art has a specific heart beat.. Needing only God to feel complete.. This is what I mean when I say I’m free..

    Author: Urban Poems

    Desirae I just want you to know, what you see at your worst is true.. Its a cruel world it hurts.. don’t let nobody tell you that hate is love or reverse.. The truth is love is rare on this earth.. but don’t let that get you down in the dirt.. because the image of perfection is the real curse.. when you decide to die they won’t say a word.. but when you choose to live they line up to break your courage.. Remember that this is your life you know exactly what to purge.. be honest with yourself and keep God first..

  • Hidden Gem

    Man reading poetry titled Hidden Gem

    (Poem) “Hidden Gem”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Hidden Gem is how at one point I could feel a form of confidence and then I discovered the true meaning.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I used to think that confidence was a feeling to be spent.. but she was a dirty bitch, only to the money would she consent.. Making love to her gave me the respect I grew to love and resent.. She was hair and nails done and a car that I could only afford to rent.. I liked the way she spoke in my defense.. She even made them fear me in a sense.. Through their eyes she drew compliments.. but most of all she was a secure fence, from questions, from judgement, she could mold an audience only to hide my soul from its own intent.. until one day I realized the clothes she gave me were not mine but were lent.. What she gave me was an image while the real thing hid in its own suspense.. The image was always an expense while confidence the real thing didn’t cost a cent.. When I met her it was intense like meeting the real me renewed without the dents.. Now I don’t listen to mankind because they were all quiet when my mind was bent.. I used to look in the mirror and see a face but now I see a soul in my defense.

    (Poem) “Sunflower Seed”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Sunflower Seed) Is in the past I never really considered the life of a bird.

    Author: Urban Poems

    The colors of the birds I adore.. I look at them and wonder about the ventures they explore..
    I wonder if the ease of their stride matches the life they must endorse.. or are they misunderstood..
    some drowning for a drink of water because for them too taking a risk to learn to live is a part of the course.
    Now when I look at them I see what a survivor can be made of..
    From the way they fly I can see if there is a warrior inside the core..
    The one that almost drowned but won against the tug of the water soaking its wings, while drowning it, draining its life source,
    but something inside refused to be weakened by what at one point he thought was a greater force..
    Now he soars different.. stronger than before.. Now I understand him.. Now I see him..
    He is no longer a them or an it, but an individual who I can feel.
    Now he is no longer just a bird because his inner being won a great war.
    No he is much more.

    (Poem) “Let’s Talk”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Let’s Talk) is despite all of the amazing work put in from our Great freedom fighters of all races the hate in this country never diminished but only hid itself behind law and order.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Let’s talk about the other segregation. In Coretta’s own words is worse than segregation. In 2025, still in rotation. Its covert disguise hides behind what I call the watchlist generation. O yeah this is a needed conversation. First off let’s call what it is once again nothing new its called discrimination. Remember this history repeats “we must be hateful to protect this Great Nation.” To make it all okay, attack the target’s reputation. The tactics of abuse mimic a prison’s isolation. Now let’s talk about which group is chosen for this slavery occasion.. Let’s just say it also mimics the prison situation. It is also used to close court cases. Sounds familiar “Don’t take it to trial, plead guilty because your odds are 30 years or 3 years probation.” If there is no evidence and you’re innocent and broke you can sit in prison for 3 years awaiting a possible salvation simply because you chose to take your chance with litigation, and lets not forget the targeted aggravation. and let’s talk about the goals of the other segregation, is to make exercising your rights into a mental retardation. The other segregation is the same segregation, targeted humiliation, the only difference is covert association.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Make It Matter is in the past I decided not to participate in a rigged game; then I realized I was allowing it to remain rigged by not participating where it matters. Credit to Coretta Scott King for telling her story which inspired my change of heart.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Allow me to correct the old me. The version who thought only of the power of an individual forgetting there is no power without unity. Fighting every battle like its me against the world, me against racism built into a system. So yeah I told myself why vote when electoral votes take priority over the majority. But that is for who will be president but we decide who will fill the legislatures. We decide the seniority. We choose the prosecutor in authority. We decide which judge presides. We choose who will be fair and orderly. I looked to the top of the mountain before climbing and realizing that I too have some power in defining. The battle is first lost in the mind. You lose when you believe you have no part in refining and designing our society into a place where every human is given a fair assignment. Let’s never forget the righteous convictions that once defeated division spoken by the Great Martin Luther king Jr. “Give us the ballot and we will transform the silent misdeeds of the bloodthirsty mobs into the calculated good deeds of orderly citizens.” Lets not forget the great words of the Great Fred Shuttlesworth “You have to be prepared to die before you can begin to live.” Their courageous decisions gave us permission. Even President Kennedy understood the mission.  Each generation has to do their part to complete the freedom vision.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Gold Standard is racism still targets the people who just want to see a restored humanity.

    Author: Urban Poems

    They segregate and isolate me so that no one bats an eye when they rape me. When they castrate me of my womanhood they paint in my blood the permission to hate me. As I try to stop the blades from penetrating they say her cry’s are volatile, her tears are not real she feels no pain. After they take from me they say she has nothing standing in the court of law with no family is proof that she is guilty so that they can feel a sense of justice when they forsake me. Whether or not she committed the crime we have scraped away her grace she is no longer human now when I look at her I no longer see her face. Surrounded by a climate of hate placed in courtrooms and convicted without a case. I will tell you why they conspired to suffocate me and chased me to exasperate my tears until my eyes were dry and then they say i told you, she feels no pain it is okay for us to take and berate, she is not a woman, she is nothing but an ape! I say you will never break me, I am a woman. Your concentration to deface me only proves that I am the gold standard to the human race. I am a woman. My Elohiym hears me when I pray. You haven’t taken my ability to look at another human and relate. I feel connected to the best of the best, the connection with all of my freedom fighters, that, you can not confiscate. Connected to the present and history our fight is one, our voices our tears, our stories will forever congregate. We will clean each other’s wounds from your blade, as we strategize and facilitate.  Together we feel each other’s pain, joy and together our souls cry and elate. After all you took from me I know for sure my value you can not pay it is far too great, too sophisticated. I am the definition of 1st place.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Corporate Stolen Waters is the crabs are already running the world attempting to keep the rest of society in the bucket.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Corruption’s delusion is defined as recreating memories by designing stories with deductions. Jealous and greedy minds at the top looking down making excuses to unleash the heart of destruction. Slowly dissolving love, truth, intuition and righteous instructions… the sensitive in spirit holding clear sight and hearing ears are targeted by weapons of obstruction. Succubus needing to feed constantly, drinking the feeling of another humans eruption. Only able to be satisfied for a moment destroying souls starts to become a sexual seduction. So what do we do? What do you do if your smile is real in the presence of a predator’s appetite eating everyone else to place all blessings in reduction. So focused on destroying but still needing genuine hearts and souls for production. What do we do? If they want your whole cup unaccepting of proportions. When they don’t want to deal with their own hurt and distortions?
    The only way to justify their decisions is to prove that you too will crack under this world of extortion. We must stay real on the inside, to pave the way, for the righteous seed to restore wins.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Soul of The Voice) is a voice reveals secrets of the heart.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Eyes are the windows to the soul.
    While a voice is the house of tales never heard… Through the voice, old spirits emerge…
    Some are wise, some are cursed.
    Some are both trying to merge…
    Some hold innocence, some hold a anger continually on the verge… Some are hurt.
    Familiar spirits blow the horns of the first…
    The voice is as ancient as the earth…
    Within a small child lives sounds of the spirit entered at birth…
    Through the voice the spirit is exposed although the hiding of is rehearsed…
    Each and every spirit, good and bad fights for their turn to be free of thirst..
    Soft and gentle is the hug in which a serpent can lurk…
    Soft and gentle is where love is dispersed…
    The voice reveals what the tone thinks to purge.

  • I Won’t Hate You

    (Poem) “I Won’t Hate You”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (I Won’t Hate You) is if you hang me, it will be simply because you wanted to and not because you are a savior.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I will not hate you
    I won’t use my silence to break you
    I know what feeds you… cause the just to use violence to justify the evil that made you…
    I have no alliance to the choice to let it take you…
    I wont hurt you… My voice wont be compliant… I wont degrade you… Your riots will make you face you…
    I wont hurt you…
    I wont become the tyrant giving way for the dark to cave you… there is no excuse, choose to save you…
    My defiance is not for you, but the spirit who invades you… I won’t hurt you… They wont use my hands to escape truth… It is not me who wants to stake you… I wont hate you…

  • Call em out

    Call em out

    (Poem) “Call em out”

    Individuals don’t like being called out, personally I think it’s healthy. I don’t mind telling a mf that they are acting funny at that moment and they can tell me to shit.
    Embarrassment is just an emotion, can’t always get in your feelings when somebody calls you out for not acting the way you are supposed to. shidddd, each one teaches one we all gotta learn.

    I don’t mind someone telling me I’ve stepped out of my lane. I rather come to you with how I’m feeling then sit back and complain, so I call ’em out. Some people may feel like what another person is doing is none of their concern but when that person is in your vibrational bubble what they got going on can easily be transferred!! And a lot mfs be know what they are doing before you call them out;

    they just don’t expect you to call ! I dont think it’s ok with knowing, but not doing better so if calling you out sets you on fire then baby you finna burn. Not telling a mf how they got me fucked up just to keep the peace is way beyond me, i rather a mf call me out then hold it in and resent me. Everybody shit stinks mfs act like the only people that can call them out is a perfect mf, when it ain’t even bout that, it’s more about Growth!

    You can’t grow without being exposed because Growth requires transparency. I’ll never burn a bridge with somebody who boldly tells me about me because I wanna be the best version of myself, and sometimes the closest people to you see things about you that you can’t quite see especially if you have that mentality like ” that’s just me”, that’s fine and all just gotta be ok with being called out otherwise you stunting your growth.

  • Ethnic Memory

    Ethnic Memory

    (Poem) “Ethnic Memory”

    I feel your pain
    smell the swelter that rises on a
    afternoon in a wooden slave shack
    hear chains in the metal sweat box,
    a human bake oven,
    fueled by the intense heat of a day’s hatred
    shiny backs stinging with salt, blood, and earth under a relentless
    southern sun
    as Miss Lillie fans herself in a shaded knoll.
    Your back ached,
    deformed by subservience,
    shoulders sloped like some fourth-class non-human,
    as you cut the cane that kept Miss Lillie.
    This was wretchedness
    locusts whistling in merciless highs
    and the humidity of rivers kissing your pores
    200-years, not long
    slavery’s undefinable sadness still exists
    What would I have been?
    field hand
    breeder
    cook
    mistress
    wet nurse
    rebel
    house servant
    runaway who was hung or punished
    Suppose I was born with a handicap or blind, incapable of
    physical servitude
    unfit for sale
    Would they drown me as a child?
    That may have been a blessing.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I plucked my eyes out in order to see without a leash.

    Instead of using my eyes to see, I use my spirit to become discreet.

  • Vibe High

    Written poem titled vibe high

    (Poem) “Vibe High”


    Vibe high or die trying mfs in denial with their presentations so they live in illusions instead of actually producing anything, like getting married but disregarding the vows, mfs like to fill roles that make them feel powerful not even realizing that all the power they needed was already inside of them. Pssssh! Everybody “grown” till it’s time to GROWN. How can you live an abundant life if you can’t let what’s not meant for you go! How can you heal from trauma that you don’t even accept? You gotta be like yeah that happen to me but that’s not who I am! You gotta believe that your pain is not your whole story! Trying to put band aids on mental damage makes you vibe low and damage. “Hurt people hurt people” is just a lame ass excuse for a low vibrating mf to be evil. What you’ve been through should never be an excuse to be nasty, it’s gotta lift you up! Vibe high or die trying. I rather vibe high, I move around the naysayers and make away! I get what I give just not in a materialistic way? Ah MF gone pay for some shit that’s irresistible to their soul!! But when your spirit ain’t right, there’s some shit you just can’t afford. I’m a different breed, don’t get defensive when a MF talk shit about me cuz I expect them too, you too! I know exactly who I am and I choose to vibe high! In direct, will never gain my respect, I only pay attention to eye contact. Vibe high or die trying don’t worry about if a person ain’t who you want them to be just only accept the shit that’s for you and everything that comes your way will be true, mfs be so conflicted on the inside that they can’t help but to cause problem’s change your perspective and choose to vibe higher and you will look at shit differently by tomorrow.

    You tried to be the apprehender of my speech, but you don’t assign me.
    I am a voice for the people who weep.
    You tried to be the splendor in my feet, but you can’t confine me.
    You tried to make me surrender, being meek, but the spirit within reminds me to keep it sweet.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I’m paying my dues to be the woman I choose, ridiculed by fools, but this is my battle whether I win or lose.

    Temptation pursues, attempting to force me into being its muse, overwhelmed by everyone and their gossiping news.

    Through the smoke my roots search out my own views. To live life, one must be ready to face strife and challenge evil rules.

    We must fight for good counsel to have a voice in schools.. This fight, I will either win or die trying. This is my soul, I will subdue.

    Author: Urban Poems

    The butterfly with the broken wing but still flies..
    I am the butterfly that survived..
    In my cocoon, I almost died.
    With no nurture, my place on Earth was still assigned.
    I was born with a broken wing, trained in the womb to fight for mine.
    So I soar, in the midst of war, waiting on no man to tell me how high..
    Listening through the airwaves for my Creator to tell me when to rest, and when to draw nigh..
    My broken wing may seem like a weakness, but no, it gave me a strong refine.
    My broken wing taught me how to be humble and kind.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: War hope & reunited is the war on the black race has been relentless.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Dehumanize a man and take the land of the traumatized.. you fantasize of causing our babies
    suicide, the devil in disguise.. you colonized our pain to petrify our people’s brains,
    you want us all insane.. you want to tame the black man’s name. Your designs cause the black womb
    shame.. you assign your gang bangers to destroy and undermine where we unite and reside..
    because you never had joy you took the people for a toy. No thank you, to your planned
    genocide.. I’d rather have peace on the inside.. your biggest trick was getting our people to
    undermine their own kind.. in the hopes of moving up to a
    high-rise..
    With no love around we say to one another, dog eat dog so it’s all justified, no lie you got
    our arms tied.. No knowledge of the Most High, so there’s no settled mind.. trying to be god, the
    minds of the people, through division, you customize. You itemize another’s hands and place your face
    to be idolized.. hushing the cries of the hypnotized. You got what you wanted, any means
    necessary, but the love of god you denied.. but you want the joy from his people’s eyes..
    so you kept taking until you neutralized.. but now once again, we arise, holding hands where you cut
    the line, revitalized to help our own kind..

  • This Is Not It

    Man reading poetry titled This Is Not It

    (Poem) “This Is Not It”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: This Is Not It is people are just not right in this generation old and young. I will not allow the evil in this world to turn my heart cold.

    Author: Urban Poems

    A leech entered into my hand today.. Many hours passed before I started to feel the ache.
    When I woke up this morning, I was ready to make a change to benefit my whole race,
    because I thought that if I do my part by respecting my peers and treating all deserving
    with grace, that we can get a step closer to winning our own race.. I remember we used to
    alert our neighbors when the stranger was at the gate, but now we just sit around watching,
    waiting on the stranger to enter and slay. With no love in our hearts altogether depraved.
    When I finally looked down at my hand, my palms started to rot away.. with blood clots so big
    I had to cut my whole hand off to be heard when I pray.
    A leech almost drank all of my love,
    only to feel my veins with hate.
    I almost lost the girl who was full of hope,
    determined to make a way, but instead I lost a limb and kept my soul in place.

  • In Return

    Man reading poetry titled In Return

    (Poem) “In Return”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: In Return is every person that rises against someone that has done them no wrong will be judged as the Most High sees fit. Once again laugh now cry later.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I really don’t even feel like I got enough breath to even speak today, but I will bounce back like I always do.. I’m still dealing with people breaking into my life, hoping that one day, they might just break me.. but don’t hold your head up waiting.. because you might just break your neck.. the evil in a man’s/woman’s eye, some days I feel like I can’t even take no more.. Mann I can’t even lie.. to see the hate in my people is making my whole heart sore.. but you gone pay for every single time your eyes tore through me with NO remorse. and the gentle soul you torched, Yeah, I ain’t playing hard like I’m invincible in war, pay attention to your daughters, wives, and mothers, the women you adore when judgement scores.. when the flames you lit come knocking at her door.. I wish my enemies everything they are going to get. NO peace. I mean that to the core..

  • Sober Minds

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Sober Minds”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Sober Minds is to say treat your mind like gold, it’s the only thing you really own in this world.

    Author: Urban Poems

    When you got eyes to see, you can’t be drinking and popping ecstasy.
    The serpent creeps, in the hearts of the ones that you trust when you sleep.
    There was a boy, ten years old and wise as can be.
    His first drink of milk came from his mother when she used to be a peach.
    Ten years later, the look in her eyes is deceased.
    Another soul eaten in the streets..
    The soul snatcher whispered in her ears, and told her take away his peace,
    So she offered him alcohol to destroy the lad while he was weak..
    For a while, he became an alcoholic, and the soul snatcher grinning thought he had the boy for keeps.
    Set up from the start, he saw no hope in reach.
    So he tried a new thing and looked up to the sky,and asked the Most High, to clean a soul that reeks.
    The serpent losing his grip offered him every drug, from A to Z.
    Desperate to kill the man before anybody sees.
    With the fire of the Most High lit within his eyes, there’s no way to stop the future prodigy.
    This time, he will fulfill a righteous man’s prophesy.

    Author: Urban Poems

    When I was a child, I fought whenever called.
    But now that I’m grown, I only fight for a cause.
    I fight for the George Floyds who died like a slave under free man’s laws.
    Within three years, three murderers walked free like nothing happened at all.
    I fight to give a voice to the silent pause..
    I fight for the old, no, the original truth to receive applause.
    Through division, we keep sitting, unable to lend a hand
    to help our brethren stand through these thick walls.
    I fight for a cause..
    I fight to pick us up from the downfalls.
    I pray to give us power over withdrawals.
    Fight with me, not against me,
    to restore what used to be the rarest, most pure wherewithal.

  • Power In Me

    (Poem) “Power In Me”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Power In Me is my enemies weapons continue to place me on higher grounds.

    Author: Urban Poems

    In this moment, chaos has been riveting through my ears.
    Demons attempting to latch on in an effort to bring me tears.
    But you are my Elohiym.
    I need you, to redirect their spears..
    Make them eat their own hate and drink their own fears.
    Rise me up in peace.
    I reject the demon’s feast.
    I knock over all boundaries as I move near your hemisphere.
    No demon can hold me.. because my Elohiym is on the throne making my paths clear.
    You can’t hold me!.
    You demons are passengers, who hold no power.
    I drive and steer.

  • Don’t Sing 2 Me

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Don’t Sing 2 Me”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Don’t Sing 2 Me Is I am tired of evil needing genuine people to sustain.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Lullabies despise and feed off the lips of silenced cries..
    With nothing to eat, you fall asleep just in the nick of time..
    Silent lies become innocent, causing innocent eyes to die..
    Trying to survive, no longer able to get by,
    You look over to another and think, how can I deprive?
    You tied your soul to a torn rope with a firm grope
    You held on until the line broke..
    Now the thoughts to take another’s place, will no longer subside
    Please, don’t sing to me no lullabies!..
    I can feel the strife that thrives on the inside..
    That’s what you wanted, right?
    You traded your soul to join the beehive..
    Thinking how great it is now that you left the broken tares behind..
    Not realizing that the “tares” are the wheat
    And to hide the meek, the weak silence cries..

  • Evil Is Weak

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Evil Is Weak”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Evil Is Weak is it is a very weak trait to become consumed in evil.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Everything about being evil is weak.
    That’s why pretending to be me, is what you can never be.
    Puffed up in pride, you can never be meek.
    Being bold is a righteous act, not fear-based.
    In fact, that’s the trait that evil lacks.
    Evil is scared of the facts.
    Scared of black ink covered in black.
    Evil is the nut that’s easy to crack.
    Evil is a coward searching for a crowd before they act.
    Monkey see, monkey do, even for the simple task.
    Evil is weak.
    Evil against bold, one-on-one, evil must retreat.
    Evil is like an ant, easy to squash, needing a crowd to leap.
    Evil outnumbers the bold, the real soldiers.
    But like a jaguar, we gone fight until we eat.
    Smashing ant hills until we reap.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Being hated by everyone you ever loved, is a pain so deep it makes your veins go dull. I just wanna hide away until it all feels null.. Today is the end of me giving one sided hugs.. If I ever love again, I need my back to feel some rubs.. No. I fuckin tried, I’m not the reason for your mugs.. You hate me for daring to be, So FUCK you and your love. So I’m walking away from anyone who tries to shove my hand in a glove.. I’m answering to the place where my spirit tugs.. No more of me trying to love the spirit of confliction.. To live, I must become the fly away dove..

    (Poem) “I Won’t Forget”

    My inspiration for writing this poem (I Won’t Forget) is a reminder that if a person shows no remorse always remember how they treated you; even when you forgive them.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I will always remember those who chose to be my enemy. Unforgetting I will be, until the end of
    me. I never received an apology, so there’s no surrendering.. no mending, to the pain they kept
    lending, supposedly I offend the pretending.. but that’s okay because the truth is avenging,
    especially for the people that the lies are bending. Who’s paying the price for evil to keep
    ascending.. I’m tired of seeing the same thing trending, it seems like for the just, just laws
    are still pending, when it’s all said and done poetic justice is the story’s ending.

  • Free The People

    (Poem) “Free The People”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Free The People is practicing my given right to speak freely has caused me to be harassed.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Why would I vote under a system who writes checks that I can’t collect?
    What happened to land of the free, freedom of speech?
    But every time I speak it’s like I’m getting vexed.
    So freedom must be the real threat..
    Fortune 500 companies worried about my next flex.
    Worried that free speech might just free the pets.
    What about the right to protest that they won’t protect?
    I know the system see them trying to hex.
    Makes me wonder who’s really causing wrecks in the complex.
    If voting changes things, then why does bondage keep returning through a different text?
    The people are tired of being slaves!
    We need to rest..
    All that you promised is up next.
    Before I sign another ballot, no more switcheroo’s.
    I want to see us all blessed.
    No justice, no peace.
    Until then, I’ll keep my pen on the context.

    I follow my hidden enemy’s rules.. my target is you! My people was taught different from other
    fools, that’s why I hate you, because we’re from the same crew.. that’s how I survive under my
    oppressor’s roof. Damn this gig is rigged. I want to be one of the few to break the chains loose.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Down by the river is where my tears hide.. blending in with the river’s tide.. the river is the place
    that I go to cry, hiding away from the eyes of passerbys.. my eyes swell from the thunder of pain
    I denied.. here there’s no one to tell me that my worries are benign.. Here, there’s only the catching
    of my tears to give me more time. Your gentle flow reminds me to take back what’s mine.
    Giving me the courage to untie all binds.. you are my friend when my eyes start to die.
    Your silent words are perfect helping me to leave it all behind..
    flow away to help the next soul who was needing to align.. truly you are, one of a kind..

    Author: Urban Poems

    Gold lies in a tortured soul.. trapped inside is a story never told.
    With the chains of fear grasping a firm hold.. when the door is open, it appears as closed..
    The house on the hill no one dares to oppose.. but the house will burn if the flowers grow.
    Fighting to live, the house starts to mold, poisoning the minds of those in tow.
    Who dares to leave the house of old? Buried within is the flower of hope..
    To be free from the dirt is to approach one’s woes.

  • A Letter to Momma

    A Letter to Momma

    “Poem” (A Letter to Momma)

    This poem “A Letter to Momma” inspires one to remember who they once were; and realize how they have allowed life to be a trap. Furthermore, this poem is a reminder to regain your strength in the midst of adversity.

    -Author: Johnnesha Butler-

    Dear Momma,
    Everything that glitter aint gold,
    But I’m sure you know.
    What once was a breath of fresh air
    Is now a dictator. Prisoners in “your” own home, you and your
    children.
    Where is she? The Momma that doesn’t take disrespect, the one that always taught me to
    speak my mind?!!! I guess we’re both lost and confused because I can’t find
    Her and neither can you. I hope you have a plan B because you always taught us that as well.
    The hate and embarrassment of who you’ve become is perposterous. We humans have
    backbones and use them to stand firm. I guess yours has decayed over the years from all the
    stress, yet you’re still standing and still you rise, all while conforming. Daily struggles might
    cause you to bend, but never break you, not my momma at least. From what I can see, you’re
    bending like a mug and if I may say so myself I don’t like it. Anybody that really knows you
    Momma knows you are better than that. But what I do know, I’m an outsider looking in. I’m
    looking in from the perspective that looks back at you in the mirror. What happened to the
    Momma that used to say “I can do bad all by myself!”

  • The Enemy

    Man reading poetry titled The Enemy

    (Poem) “The Enemy”

    My inspiration for writing this poem ( The Enemy ) is because your perception determines your stance. My perception is set against evil no matter who is the perpetrator. I stand with the Most High even when I have to stand against myself. My nor anyone else’s transgression can ever make the Most High’s commands a lie.

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    I am the enemy.

    I am the enemy of the state, I am the enemy of hate, I am the enemy of my enemy’s plate.

    The enemy of fake.

    I am the enemy that makes my enemy’s soul quake..

    Why am I the enemy?

    I grew tired of the enemy of faith, The enemy of grace, The enemy of the commandments we were meant to embrace..

    No more do I adore the enemy of God’s pace.

    No more will I ignore my enemy’s frenemy play dates.

    No more will I be quiet while my enemy destroys the lakes.

    No more will I look away while my enemy raises rates.

    I am tired of all the things that my enemy takes.

  • Not So Fun

    (Poem) “Not So Fun”

    My inspiration for writing this poem “Not So Fun” is that the game is always fun until you lose. You can be a winner and lose a board game but you will always win in the game of eternal life. The game of eternal life is the only game I play; leaving the worldly games to the minions.

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    You laughing at me was a part of the plan. He said, not so fun when the prey plans the run. Everything you did is the reason why I won. The Most High used your wicked ways to determine your next turn.. You had the perfect aim and got shot with your own gun. So let me get this right, even with all your sheep you got conned with your con.. the whole entire time you were used as a pawn.. perfect plans were created from the one who turns the sun.. the same one who created your mom and your son, So if I serve him, do you really want to spawn?. and if you hate me we not serving the same one. We could never be friends but there are no hard feelings in this new dawn.. always remember.. Think, before you shun..

  • True To Me

    Man reading poetry titled True To Me

    (Poem) “True To Me”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem “True To Me” is we are expected to act as identical humans with no expression of feelings. When you refuse to go along to get along, those that chose to conform will be the first ones to try to knock you down a notch.

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    00:01 – 00:09
    The real reason for you not liking me is because I smile when I’m glad, I frown

    00:09 – 00:14
    When feeling sad, I say, fuck this shit.

    00:14 – 00:27
    When I’m feeling bad.. and when you embarrass me, I don’t hide when I cry, rage, and laugh.. because I don’t mind admitting when I’m feeling mad..

    00:27 – 00:34
    And when I need some privacy, I say, I need some time to relax…

    00:35 – 00:38
    See, you don’t like me because I’m true to me..

    00:39 – 00:47
    And even with all my flaws, my morals are still intact because the things you do to me can never take that..

    00:47 – 00:52
    Because my morals are based on my actions and not your tactics or reactions..

    00:53 – 00:54
    And so are yours!..

    00:55 – 01:02
    So whatever you tried to take from me, you said goodbye to whatever integrity you thought you had..

    01:03 – 01:05
    Hey, I’m just keeping it real..

    Nourishing my leaves daily, is how I learned to cope..

    When the sun is bright, I take in the perfect amount of

    light to keep my spirit bold.. After A Storm I must recover

    from the pull of the rough wind blows.. My roots adjust based

    on the conditions and the space I hold.. but I am the odd

    rose that never folds.. I just keep learning how to thrive

    through all that life throws.. Obstacles give me a strong

    foundation, leading me to sow deep into a better mold..

    The Most High is always healing me if you really want to know..

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    Can’t you see, even when you win I still elevate. All of your hate makes me stronger
    to lift bigger weights. Now if I thought that you were worth it I could annihilate, but
    to me, you’re pathetic, that’s why I contemplate… I thought about it, and how you conversate
    don’t really match my rates, but when it’s time to trap a rat I never hesitate.. but I
    never kill them, I just watch them starve in their own waste.. if they weren’t driven
    by filth, things could have been different. It’s crazy how the things we do physically
    are driven spiritually becomes the reason for our own fate.

  • To Cope

    To Cope

    Coping Is A Virtue

    The ability to cope has been one of my most valuable assets. Being able to cope has healed my heart from many wounds.
    For some coping is seen as a loss, but in all actuality, it is a win. Coping is the ability to process the things you go through.
    “If you can’t cope with it; you can’t heal from it.” Therefore to cope is a gift given from the Most High. Coping is healing.
    With that, if you practice coping you would find your healing faster and easier with each trial.
    The only possible way to cope is to be honest with yourself. You have to have the ability, to be honest with yourself.

    The Truth Will Set You Free

    Coping and truth go hand in hand. You can not cope with a real problem if your solution is based on a lie.
    Moreover lying to yourself will take you in the opposite direction of coping. Lies cannot live with peace.
    This is why some people will despise another for simply being able to move on from things that broke them in the past.
    It makes them feel guilty for trying to process their hurt by hurting others.
    When you are unable to cope, negative emotions will build in your heart, in your mind, your body, and your soul.

    Nevertheless, everyone still has to keep moving forward whether they are coping or just using Band-Aids for life’s
    ails. Furthermore, Band-Aids cause toxicity because what can not be healed internally will express itself externally.
    One example of bandages is hurting other people because we lack control over the things that happen in our
    own lives. People do this because they can not heal from the things that happen to them whether the problems
    are big or small. Therefore hurting another person becomes the alternative. This method lies to its
    owner by telling them that they are in control. Even if it’s just controlling someone else’s life it feels like power.
    In addition, it tells them that coping is a weak trait.

    Ignored Goes Un-healed

    Which the return for this lie is more build-up of unresolved pain for its owner. It is a trick of
    the devil to keep a person from healing. Coping is essential to be able to move forward
    in a world where trial and tribulation are meant to make us more capable. Gaining the ability to cope is so essential
    to have a healthy mind. Nonetheless, you can not do it without honesty. You have to be able to face yourself, your
    situation, and possible outcomes. After you do this you move forward and
    Think of everything when processing the situation.

    Coping Is Processing

    This is the process of being honest with yourself. Allow yourself to feel it. Nonetheless, do not stay in that space
    you need to move forward to what can or can not be done to rectify the situation. There are times when
    nothing can be done but accepting what is, which sometimes is the healing. We can not fix everything
    but our spirits can have peace with every situation. Only after we have been honest with ourselves and
    explored possible solutions to our problems. There are times when the problem can
    be resolved but if there is betrayal of some sort healing still has to take place.

    Weigh Rational Options

    To heal you have to cope with what happened. For example, if someone you trust stole from you but repaid you when confronted; you
    will still need to cope with the fact that they were willing to steal from you. If you can’t cope with this
    you may make immature decisions like planning some sort of revenge. That is the first sign that you are not coping well.
    Coping means you have been honest with yourself and searched for real solutions. Your friend who stole from
    you is not trustworthy in their time of need is the truth.

    You were repaid that solved the physical possessions problem.
    Although there are times when we have to count our losses. If you are thinking of exacting revenge this is not
    a person you can move forward with in a friendship. At least not right away. After you look at the situation clearly you can make a healthy decision.
    In conclusion, to cope is the ability to process what you are feeling in a healthy way. Coping is peace. Peace is a gift from The Most High God.

  • Look At Us

    (Poem) “Look At Us”

    My inspiration for writing this poem (Look At Us) is we are slowly losing our humanity everyday due to the “conveniences” and desensitization in this world.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Sensitivity in a world with no humility, it’s like being the target for everyone’s hostility.
    You get labeled as a threat, and blamed for all iniquity, as if the world wasn’t already
    fucked up and declining before you spoke on all their mysteries.
    I gotta say, I never meant to stop your victories, but if your bottom line includes destroying
    humanity’s capability, for example, locking our brains in your facilities, we gotta fight
    for our freedom with all of our ability.

    to their face.

    (Poem) “Quiet Place”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem (Quiet Place) is sometimes the noise becomes overwhelming. This is for the days when you don’t want to be expressive; when you just need a moment to exist without defending or offending.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    I just lay here in this quiet place.. clearing my mind of all haze.. a reset,
    to start better days. In this moment there’s no drama causing delays, no
    debates, about how to stop fate. As long as I stand on the right side before it’s
    too late, I’m confident that the God I serve, served me the right plate. So I’m
    quiet right now.. not feeling the need to relate. I’ve seen too many people who
    only want to take. So excuse me if I need a moment, to keep my own foot, out of the
    fire-filled lake.

  • Why Do I Care

    Book titled why do I care

    The Battlefield

    Why do I care; is what Demarcus asked himself. His journey has been long but yet it has just begun. As he stands and looks down at those who tried to take his strength from him he feels sorrow. There is a part of him that understands his enemies. As they lay trapped in the pitted ground he hesitates with the decision to pull the lever and bury them in the hole they dug for him. Their names are The Longings. Demarcus was drawn to that part of them. Nevertheless that part of them is what they use as weapons to destroy their enemies. Their enemy is the combination of inner strength and hope. The longing within them gives them the power to reflect back anything that you are. When this happens they are able to soften the hearts of their targets.

    Memories Of Sweet Eyes

    Once the target’s heart is softened, The Longing’s powers start to work. It is a slow but effective poison. This poison drains you of all of your strength and hope. Not only do you lose your strength and hope The Longings are temporarily able to gain strength and hope from taking yours. Which is why Demarcus is burdened with the thought of “why do I care.” Once all of your strength and hope is taken you become one of them. That is the part that causes Demarcus pain when it is time to pull the lever. Although they tried to destroy him; he looks deep within their eyes and he can see what used to be hope turned into unyielding pain. Nevertheless not all of them are the same.
    Sadly, some were born into The Longings and when he looks into their eyes he sees the constant thirst for blood. I know that it’s hard to believe but some of them were once good people.

    Recognizing Of Weapons

    Nonetheless they had no compassion for Demarcus when The Longing slandered him to break his strength of character. The organizers of The Longing used the ones that used to be his friends to burn him with hot water. This was done to break his spirit. Afterwards every member of The Longing in pairs of two would hold hands with only their left hand and throw stones at Demarcus with their right hand. This was done to break his hope.

    The Longings only united to do the work that is in their hearts. That work is to destroy strength and hope. It was a strange thing because they destroyed the very thing that they needed to recharge. It could be compared to no one caring about the pollution in the air until they can no longer breathe without oxygen tanks. When Demarcus was almost broken he looked at his arms and legs where he was tortured with hot water and saw no burns. He then looked at his face in the mirror and saw no bruises from the stones that were thrown at him.

    Walking Again

    In that moment he realized that The Longings only have the permission to break you mentally and spiritually. He realized that they were weak and he pitied them. In that moment his heart felt a sadness for them and he asked himself again “why do I care?” He got up that day and started walking. As he walked they threw boiling water, stones and hurled insults. Whilst this was happening Demarcus held on to hope and they started to drop one by one. He then reached a mountain and he saw a twinkle at the top. Therefore, he started to climb the mountain. Once he reached the top of the Mountain he felt the spirit of God within him giving him the ultimate powers of strength and hope.

    The Longings looked at him at the top of the mountain and each person in their spot started to go into the ground. The pit that they were in was as deep as the one they each dug for Demarcus. All of the dirt gathered in a net connected to a lever which Demarcus held in his right hand. At that very moment he had two options. Either he could pull the lever and bury them or just walk away. He looked away from them and pulled the lever. Which some would say was cruel but he knew there was no other way to co-exist with The Longings. He cries as he leaves this place of hopelessness still asking himself, “why do I care?”

    00:01 – 00:07
    What happened to freedom of speech?. As long as you stay on beat and follow America’s feet, you can yell all day..

    00:07 – 00:09
    I got, freedom to preach..

    00:09 – 00:12
    Just be a good puppet and look away

    00:12 – 00:15
    When they tamper the meat.. don’t ask no questions.

    00:16 – 00:17
    It’s all just protocol

    00:17 – 00:25
    when they shorten your leash.. and if you talk too much, they start patrolling your street, either you keep dreaming or they force you to sleep..

    00:26 – 00:29
    There was a time when I thought I had the freedom to speak..

    00:29 – 00:36
    But controlling the narrative is how America eats, and people that see are considered the leaks..

    00:36 – 00:39
    So either you fight for your freedom or you take the bend of the knees..

    00:41 – 00:46
    Either we’re fighting to say our peace or slobbing in America sheets.

    Painting Styles

    The painting style for Trails To Connections is Abstract. What’s more, there are 7 main painting styles. The first is realism, in which the painting looks very similar to its intended mimicking. Secondly, there is a style known as painterly. This style is also realistic, but allows for non smoothing of the texture which may seem like a technical error. Thirdly, there is a style known as Impressionism. This style allows the artist to draw what looks like realistic images within a blurred surface.

    Fourth there is expressionism and fauvism. This style is composed of bold color and seeks to express spooky or exotic in nature. Fifth is a paint style known as Abstraction. This style removes the main definition from its context, stripping it of fine details. Coming in at number six is the painting style abstract. This style is composed of colors and textures. Last but not least the seventh style is Photorealism. This style is meant to look identical as if it is an actual photo that was taken with a camera. Art has many layers to explore because it is what’s created from the imagination of mankind. The Creator of Trails To Connections is Urban Poems.

  • Repair The Breach

    Repair The Breach

    (Poem) “Repair The Breach”

    I will always repair the breach…
    I can only be down for so long before
    I offer my own hand to reach..
    looking disaster in the eye, I tell
    resolution to pull up a seat..
    my broken heart goes to war.. torn in
    two my heart still beats,
    only through the strength of my Father’s
    speech.. when I was hungry you threw
    me a rope instead of a peach..
    because you are the one that always knows
    that saving my life should be first,
    before I eat..

    My inspiration for writing this poem “Repair The Breach” is always needing to look towards what can be done instead of what is not possible. There are times when you keep swinging until you hit the ball and other times when you patiently wait on a new bat to hit the ball with.

  • Life s Mysteries

    Life's Mysteries

    (Poem) “Life s Mysteries”

    The changes of life is a mystery that at times
    I rather leave unsolved… but with no investigation of the unknown I can never evolve.. so I walk
    down the dark hall not knowing what’s next or
    who’s involved.. sometimes I cry because of what I find
    is just another mystery that needs to be solved.. or I cry because the answer is a broken heart.. and when you finally see the light, there’s no cushion to break the fall.. so now you must learn once again, how to crawl.. life is one of those things that teaches you over and over again, how to walk and how to stand tall..

    My inspiration for writing “Life’s Mysteries” is some of life’s surprises can seem unbearable but we can’t hide from life.

    My inspiration for writing “No Crumbs” is I would rather be alone than be in a room full of people that are not genuine. -Author Urban Poems-

    I’m back and I’m better with an new endeavor.. I’m flexing on my haters now that I’m a little more clever.. I’m popping my collar, I put the whole hate club in the shredder.. they turned the heat up so I’m taking off my sweater.. Depending on the Most High to make it through all weather… I’m an introvert so fake friends are equal to fake leather.. I wanted to know who is real so I had to pluck your feather.. I don’t need friends who come around just to gather… filling their bags with what they rather.. it matters to me so All of my haters can bounce together.. to really tell you how I feel all my haters can bounce forever..

  • Silence

    (Poem) “Silence”

    My inspiration for writing “Silence” is that I just got tired of talking. I started to feel like I was talking to brick walls. Everyone is living in a dog eat dog mindset, so they assume you are too. -Author Urban Poems-

    At this moment there’s nothing to really talk about.. I just need a moment of silence to really sort it out… my voice is feeling tired with no strength to shout..

    call it crazy but I will never talk just to chase clout..

    I just want to be quiet when it’s so loud… with everybody claiming to know the proper route.. I learned to open my eyes and control my mouth… 

    I could say a lot but this is not a pout.. but I will say..

    Fuck a soul tribe that’s a real drought.. take it how you want.. this is my house.. so don’t tell me how you feel.. tell your spouse..

    Now that I know that it’s all fake.. that it’s all an act.. I’m on the battlefield fighting to bring the real one’s back.. let’s talk about trust issues.. if I didn’t have any before, I got them now.. and that’s a fact.. Which is a good thing in this dessert filled with snake attacks.. I’m so disappointed to see leaders are nothing but copy cats.. with no original thoughts on their racks.. I definitely don’t want to talk to a bunch rats.. I gotta ask?.. where the real one’s at?.. social media has created a world where everyone is wearing hats.. no one is doing the inner work when you can just copy where you lack.. I’m getting rid of all fake ones and creating a real stack.. so if you don’t like what I’m saying.. it’s time for you to pack… I don’t feel no remorse for admitting that you’re wack… I gotta ask once again.. where the real one’s at?

This style removes the main definition from its context, stripping it of fine details. Coming in at number six is the painting style abstract. This style is composed of colors and textures. Last but not least the seventh style is Photorealism. This style is meant to look identical as if it is an actual photo that was taken with a camera. Art has many layers to explore because it is what’s created from the imagination of mankind. The Creator of All Roads is Urban Poems.

    Finding Love

    Art Mentions & Benefits

    This art piece is titled “Finding Love.” The earliest mentions of art dates back to 30 000 BP or later. Evolutions of art are from the Later Stone Age of Namibia. There are many African American artists who achieved greatness in their art endeavors. Norman Lewis is an African American artist who excelled in the world of abstract art. His paintings were very expressive and unique in nature.

    Furthermore Horace Pippin started drawing with sketching race horses. His art transitioned to painting of consciousness and life. Quite the opposite was Alma Thomas who gained inspiration for her abstract art through nature. In addition art is a natural stress reliever. Adult coloring books are many times used to alleviate anxiety. With that, art gives humans the ability to go within to explore emotions.

    Painting Styles

    There are 7 main painting styles. The first is realism, in which the painting looks very similar to its intended mimicking. Secondly, there is a style known as painterly. This style is also realistic, but allows for non smoothing of the texture which may seem like a technical error. Thirdly, there is a style known as Impressionism. This style allows the artist to draw what looks like realistic images within a blurred surface.

  • Pieces Of The Puzzle

    Pieces of the puzzle

    There is Plenty of Air

    It’s okay to be able to see the beauty in things you yourself don’t have and understand that others have pieces of the puzzle. Jealousy stems from the perception of seeing someone else’s come up as your downfall. It doesn’t make you inadequate because you don’t have all of the pieces to the puzzle. Recently I talked about creating the pieces of the puzzle that you don’t have. However at times accepting that you don’t have all of the pieces and putting together what you have is all you need to do. Therefore, you need others to complete the puzzle.

    Keep On Planting

    The pieces are missing because the puzzle requires teamwork. The Most High gave each person a few pieces of the puzzle. He may bless one person to be good in the fields. It will seem like every seed they plant turns into a beautiful harvest. That doesn’t mean that you stop planting your seeds or look down upon your own. It just means wow the Most High really blessed their hands in the fields. I am a student of people who are skilled in different areas. I appreciate being able to learn from different people.

    Furthermore the Most High may bless someone with the ability to make fishing look easy. It doesn’t mean you should feel bad because they are gifted in fishing. Just because they are great at fishing it shouldn’t change the fact that you enjoy fishing also. Maybe you are good at understanding nature and animals. There are so many different skills necessary to complete the puzzle. Singing, counseling, drawing, cooking, teaching are all skills.

    Let Go Of The Hate

    Too many times people are being attacked by others just for daring to be outwardly happy about their blessings. If you can’t tell your friends your goods news, those are not your friends. Hearing about somebody else being happy shouldn’t make you sad. However, I am not talking about the toxic fake happiness when they just want you to think they are happy and their energy is giving mad as hell. In addition, their mouths are yelling I’m happy over and over because they want to compete with your true joy. 

    I am talking about when a person is genuinely feeling good about how their life is going it shouldn’t make you mad. Sometimes it just seems like people are just waiting on your marriage to fail, waiting on you to lose your job, waiting on you to get evicted. Life has ups and downs. Never use someone else’s downfall to prop yourself up and learn to be happy for others in their up seasons. With that being said, it is not always meant for you to complete the whole puzzle.

    People Need People

    One person definitely can not complete the Most High’s puzzle. If you think you can complete it by yourself; why weren’t you the only one created? Humans really do have a herd mentality.  Nonetheless we were created that way. This can be used against us or for us. Are you with the sheep that has thousands of members or  millions of members? I rather be with the sheep that has thousands of members because they are the thinkers.

    Be Picky About Your People

    The herd can be manipulated, that is why the media uses it against us. The larger the herd is the larger the lie. It is necessary for the sheep to follow the Most High in order to find freedom. Freedom from demonic strongholds that keeps a person’s spirit locked in bitterness, jealousy, depression, laziness, etc. There is a herd following the Most High too; you just can’t see the thousands as well as you can see the millions. One of the first things the Most High said to man is “it is not good for  man to be alone.” Therefore it is okay to need others; as long as you choose your crew wisely.

  • Drifting Into Peace

    Drifting into Peace

    Thinking Peaceful Thoughts

    As I lay here drifting into peace; at this moment I forget about my troubles. As I snuggle with myself rubbing my feet together slightly smiling. I get up to look out at the beautiful rain. There was a storm outside today. I wonder sometimes; what is it about hard rain that calms the soul? It is so beautiful and it makes me so happy. All I want to do right now is to keep drifting further and further into peace.

    I think about things that I have no idea how to do like climbing trees lol. Although I know it sounds silly it just makes me think about the beauty of nature. In retrospect I sometimes think about nothing or I think about thinking about nothing. Either way it is peaceful. Even when I think about nothing I always think about the Most High while in the midst of thinking about nothing. I think about how he has blessed me to be able to bask in a moment of peace.

    Moments Of Rest

    While laying here thinking that I am thinking about nothing I write this article. While writing I close my eyes in between sentences in order to feel the tingle of peace. For me I feel the tingle in my brain, lower legs, stomach, and heart. I know for people who don’t understand it may sound like a heart attack lol. Honestly it is the best feeling ever. It just feels like reaching the destination after drifting into peace.

    When you close your eyes and just enjoy the moment it’s like you can see a whole lot of space in your head. It seems like you are looking into a whole other world. It is like a dark purple-ish color with a burst of light as if the sun is peeking in. Everything is perfect even if it is just for a moment. I know that real life is right around the corner but as long as I hold on to this it makes all burdens so much lighter.

    Finding The Good

    I guess for me thinking about nothing other than the feelings that the Most High has given me in this moment is what I mean by thinking about nothing. While drifting into peace you are actually thinking but the thoughts are without burdens. Thinking in general seems like such a stressful process unless you incorporate thinking about what is beautiful. It’s like giving yourself pep talks.

    For example I would think I don’t feel like washing the dishes. Then I would think how much better I feel when I cook a good meal. It may sound simple but it makes me happy when I cook meals that are better for our health. Or I could think I don’t want to work today but then I think about the good feeling of handling my business. One thing that helps me in life is always shifting my thoughts towards a resolution and accepting if there is none.

    Finding Resolutions

    For example if you lose a finger it’s gone but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. It just means now you have to learn how to do everything with nine fingers instead of ten. Losing a finger or etc. sometimes motivates you to be better than you were before. When you lose something that is when the value of it becomes apparent. With that, the value of the things that you still have also become apparent.

    Smile because you have a lot to look forward to. Recognize what you are up against and overcome every single obstacle. Work hard even if there is no one in the stands rooting for you. Just imagine you fell off of a bike and you were able to see the faces of everyone that saw you and kept riding. It is a blessing to know the faces of people who silently despise you. Now don’t get it twisted if you are a habitual user of others that is probably why they don’t want to help you.

    It’s The Principle

    From the opposite point of view, if you don’t ask for much but you asked that when people come to visit your art store to sign in at the door because something so small makes others feel comfortable. Instead of signing in, some people come in, enjoy the art; and then pretend they were never there. When I ask people to do something to support the work here I already know who the people are that are riding by at night in black cars.

    The secret is to never look at the passersby. They are not all bad people but at the same time looking at them is distracting you from riding your bike, that’s probably why you fell off of it. Only look to make sure you don’t get hit by a car. Sometimes that is the Most High’s way of reminding me that it is not about them. We can never see through the eyes of the Most High so sometimes when people come into your store and pretend they were never there it is for your protection.

    Enjoy The Moments

    Some people want to be your friend only to rob the store. I don’t mind telling you the secrets to how I continually create. I don’t care to keep it a secret because creativity has no limit. You can be creative as you want to be and it will only add more beauty to the world. There is no such thing as a creator’s blockage. In all actuality it is not a blockage; it is the consequence of trying to create from outside of yourself.

    If I am feeling nervous that the work is not good I put it out anyways just to move on from it. It’s like throwing the nerves in the trash and cleaning your house to move new furniture in. Creative literally means the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. You can’t do that if you don’t have time to think about your own thoughts uninterrupted. Jealousy kills all creativity, authenticity, and peace. How can you enjoy anything if you are constantly in a one-sided competition? Let it go. Focus on your own growth. Enjoy the moments when you have a few minutes of quiet time. It makes hills so much easier to climb.

  • Is This Life?

    Man reading poetry titled Is This Life?

    (Poem) “Is This Life?”

    My inspiration for writing (Is This Life) is the hamster wheel that society has created. By no means am I saying to quit your jobs but I am saying use them as a stepping stone to buy some land or get back to what’s natural.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Working a 9-5 are vital survival hours.. after dealing with a toxic supervisor stressing you out abusing you with their powers.. now it’s 6 o clock you finally making it home looking forward to a shower.. so 7 rolls around.. your kids looking hungry thinking where’s ours.. you’ve been on your feet since before the sun came up.. but it’s all on you, there’s nobody there to give you flowers… I know you’re tired and it’s easier said than done.. this life we live devours.. we were made to live off the earth… made to give birth… made to work.. in our own farms but the money is our curse… take me back to the old days when we knew how to use herbs.. When building our own homes and drinking from wells fulfilled our thirst.. comfort is the demon that’s putting bodies in a hearse.. fast food and no time to work out is why our bodies hurt.. most of us wouldn’t survive a day in the wild.. so what are we really worth? All of our skills were swapped for comfort.. we traded life for a purse.. I’m not saying quit your jobs.. but find your way back to living.. nothing grows without planting a seed first..

  • Layers Of Black

    Layers Of Black

    More Than What Greets The Eye

    The layers of black are many. I realized over the last few days how beautiful the color black is. Minus the black heart I referred to in the poem un-tied. Nonetheless black resembles the night. Animals even love the night. There is a level of safety mixed with a level of danger in the night. It feels good to go to a busy well lit park that sits over the ocean at night. The night provides privacy that is either used to do good or evil. You are either in peace or at war at night. In the animal world hunting is more exercised at night. The joys of camping reach its best moments at night. There is something about the night that eases anxiety. This is only in settings where you feel safe. On the opposite end the night can increase anxiety.

    I remember dark nights getting off of the bus walking alone. My anxiousness would be through the roof. When I finally reached home I then would sit on the porch in my safety nest and enjoy the peace of the night. Laying out looking at the stars and the moon just makes things quiet in your mind. Your own thoughts become a vibe. It’s like you are still thinking but the thoughts are so gentle that it feels like you are not. The layers of black fits every occasion. Business attire loves black. Gothic loves black. Even funerals love black. Which makes me think why is a beautiful color like black so sad in a way. One reason I guess is because there is danger associated with the color.

    Safe & Dangerous

    Nevertheless there is also safety associated with black. Have you ever heard of a little black dress? If you are going for sexy but also trying to slim down it is the dress of choice. It is safe because the color slims you down but it is dangerous because it is little. Ladies by the way you will get more respect by throwing away the little black dresses. I just had to throw that in there because I believe that we should dress with a level of respect for ourselves. Guns are black in most cases and also carry a level of danger and safety. You won’t see too many people with a white gun. In human designs white colors are used to represent pure and clean. Which makes sense because stains can easily be seen on white.

    If I am being honest white really does represent a level of purity. I can’t really agree that black represents danger but sixty five percent of it does. The remaining thirty five percent represent peace and safety. Still, I do have a question. Have you ever seen a black or a white human? I know I haven’t. Both of these beautiful colors represent different things. Racism decided to put color labels onto humans. All to brainwash the world into thinking that Caucasian people are pure and African Americans are dangerous. I do think that some designs like all black at funerals are used to make the color black seem depressing and sad. Death is one of the saddest realizations.

    Programming The Masses

    With the color black being associated with so much disparity, giving a black label to African Americans is programming the masses to associate a certain group with disparity. It is a subtle meditation that programs a group to play out the role of hopelessness. Furthermore this enables the attempts of placing “black” people at the bottom. Like many have pointed out before in other countries people are not defined by such labels. In Mexico their people are Mexican. In Jamaica their people are Jamaican. Nonetheless, in Africa their people are African. In Europe their people are European. Notwithstanding, in Japan their people are Japanese.

    Now why is it that in America people are being labeled with labels that strip away all culture? Many African Americans have stated that they prefer not to be called a black person. Why won’t America listen to these concerns? America has these labels in place to keep the world brainwashed. Black and white people don’t exist. Give those colors back to purpose. America if you don’t have a name for your people; why didn’t you just call all of them Americans? I am sure that labeling people as black and white was a well thought out plan in America’s racism. Personally with all of the mental and physical abuse that has been done on the citizens of America; I would rather African Americans and Caucasian Americans come up with their own labels for what they want to be known as.

    No Longer Needing Acceptance

    Then again why did they need to come up with black and white people; when African American and Caucasian American clearly makes more sense. Due to America’s history of racism I understand why we can’t all just be American; too much hurt is there. At this point, I would be ashamed to be American. Still, America’s labeling of black and white is practicing racism. The layers of black are many. So often the purity in black is never acknowledged, but always subconsciously seen. Since these labels have been placed on African American people to cause harm; I would say, never underestimate the layers of black.

    (Poem) “Un-tied”

    My inspiration for writing (Un-tied) is me knowing that there will always be adversity in life; but it won’t stop me from moving forward. -Author Urban Poems-

    Damn I done been a lot places.. All alone but surrounded, I done filled a lot of spaces.. It don’t matter who you meet it’s like it’s all the same cases.. just different faces with different emotional fazes.. But the eyes never change they reveal the true bases.. I’ll never forget the eyes of the one’s I called my aces.. When anger rose, I found out most were really just my foes..  I sit back and think of all the different gazes.. Fake love had me stumbling at different stages… The more I try it’s like they shoot me from different ranges.. All the times I held it in I’m releasing all my rages.. No more playing nice I’m releasing all my gauges.. Shot out to all my haters, the more you try, Abba Yah gone give me all my raises.. First I’m give him all his praises.. I will always rise you could never stop my wages.. Since it seems I’m the problem then release me from these cages.. I’m done with all your killer hazes. Your jealousy, Untied me from your knotted laces.. Just leave me alone.. .. Go be happy.. And let me decipher my own mazes.. You’ll never see me again.. I hope that solves your problem.. Now who you gone blame for that black heart that got you loosing all your race’s.

  • How I Love

    Poem titled How I Love

    Missing Parts Of Affection

     This article is about how I do and don’t show love. Showing love is different for me. My love is more loyalty based. I can be very vulnerable with some parts of affection but other areas could use some work. I don’t show love by giving a hug or saying I love you. Although I know that those actions are a part of love. It’s weird when I think about how I show love. Nevertheless I want to learn to be able to show love in that way. The only person that truly sees that side of me is my husband.

    Sharing The Parts Of Me That I am In-Tune With

    I try to do it with others sometimes and the words just don’t come out. Although I love others; saying the words sometimes feels like speaking Spanish. I don’t know how to speak Spanish. My way of showing how I love is by helping when I can. There are times where I went out of my way trying to help. Which of course backfired a lot of times. I show love by listening to you when you need to just talk. I try to be the person in your life that is not your burden.

    A lot of the times some people confuse this with me being gullible. There are people who think that it is weak to genuinely want to help. Personally I believe that they think you are doing it to prove yourself to them. Furthermore they try to capitalize on your acts of service as if you owe it to them. One thing people don’t realize is it takes strength to be considerate of another person. It is easy to be selfish. Nonetheless I am nobody’s fool.

    Sometimes Cutting Ties Is The Best Choice

    With that being said, I give you all the rope you need to hang yourself. After that I dust my hands and never look back. That kind of makes me chuckle a little; because it just sounds so cold. What can I say; I go from zero to hundred real quick lol. Okay I am just playing but at the same time I am not. Basically what I am saying is I only have one side to give. Once you show me that you want to take advantage of that side I allow you to show all of your true colors and then I simply vanish. By the way I am not scared to tell you how I feel; I just think it is a waste of time.

    I don’t want to go through the phases of telling you that it wasn’t nice for you to try to use me for your own selfish reason or etc. People know what they are doing before and while they are doing it. Nevertheless I can be forgiving; but I have to truly believe you are genuine. Actions tell me everything I need to know about if the apology is sincere. Most people never apologize; so I never look back. I don’t care to play mind games. I’ve said it multiple times, that I don’t care to be in the presence of those that hate me.

    Hugs Should Be Simple

    Anyways back to me and my inability to be affectionate in certain ways to anyone outside of my husband. I know that I do know how to love. I also know that I don’t know how to do certain kinds of affection in a non-romantic relationship. It just feels unnatural a lot of the time. I want to be able to advance in affection but then I tell myself that it would be weird. Which honestly it probably would be.

    The reason why I want to improve in being affectionate in the ways I described is because I know some people who are good people could use a hug sometimes. If I am being totally honest it is something I have to dig deep on. Being affectionate in non-romantic circumstances makes me uncomfortable. Affectionate touch is just one of those things that I never quite got the gist of. By being affectionate I simply mean saying I love you or just giving a hug. I mean, I have done these things but it doesn’t come naturally to me.

    We Can’t Have It All

    It’s not about whether I love you or not. I do love you. It’s about feeling uncomfortable with giving hugs and just bringing that warm energy. That is the perfect way to say it; I don’t know how to bring warm energy. Wow, this is crazy. I think if I had to choose an energy that I believe that I bring; it would be safe energy. The reason why I say safe energy is because you know that I am not out to hurt you or break you in any way. I will be your advocate. I will never seek revenge.

    Now let’s be clear on what I mean by seeking revenge. Seeking revenge and defending yourself are two different things. The way to know which one you are doing is by evaluating your heart on whether your actions come from a place of hate. For example if someone is beating you in the head with a bat and you already have a protection order against this person. In spite of the protection order this person still came to cause harm to you. Now let’s just say you were able to take the bat. There are two options, you could just knock them out and hope that they don’t get up and kill you. Or you could kill them and be done with it. If you were to kill that person; it is not revenge. It is protecting yourself.

    Yep I Received Karma For Doing This

    I used to seek revenge when I was a lot younger. Funny story, there was one time in my life that I completely lost my mind for a moment. I was 18 and my boyfriend at the time broke my heart. So I call myself seeking revenge on some “that girl got real problems” type stuff lol. I put a cake on him and the new girlfriend’s porch with a knife in it. Now this is the funny part; they sent me a picture of them eating the cake. The funniest part is that my at the time dumb self bought a brand new cake from the grocery store. Now this conversation just went left so I am going to end it right there lol.

Your imperfections complete the mold like the heat from a beautiful sun ray.. so go outside and dance a little and bring along your playful sashay.. and before you reach the end this day, close your eyes and remember to thank God when you pray.

  • Appreciate Peace

    Poem titled Appreciate Peace

    Recognizing Peace

    Peace is everlasting love that intermingles with trial and comfort. Peace is like the beautiful centerpiece that makes a room beautiful. Trials are the warrior inside of you wanting to be whole. It is not toxic to understand that there is no peace without trial. It teaches you how to appreciate and recognize peace. Even those that have had peace without trial; don’t understand that they have had peace. If peace is all you have ever had you won’t understand the value of it.

    When I say those that have had peace without trial I am speaking of possibly babies or maybe children. Sadly, sometimes they don’t even get to experience peace without trial. People that stayed months in the hospitals on ventilators during covid and recovered should understand and appreciate peace. After going through something so tragic, it has to be peaceful to just be able to breathe on your own. If the Most High has granted them peace they are probably mentally in a really safe place. The things you learn to value when they are taken away.

    Understanding Trial

    Why do you think people that are barely making it financially will give to the homeless before a rich person. They likely had some hard nights sleeping at a bus station or worse. For the ones who let trials soften their hearts and not harden it. Which makes them care a little more for those that are struggling worse than them. We all know that the poor give more than the rich. Being down can teach you how to pull the next person up. Now that they have their own apartment; they don’t care that it’s outdated. In fact they love it; because of their struggle they know the value in even having an apartment. It is the same with peace.

    Furthermore, you really think about it after you are betrayed by many, after all of the tears from the stones that life throws at you. Then you understand and appreciate the value of peace. Even so, you learn to intermingle peace with all trial and tribulation. While closing your eyes and centering yourself in the midst of the storm you look into the eyes of peace. At that very moment you cry tears of joy. There is nothing like peace in the midst of the storm. It is truly an invincible feeling. I appreciate peace, she has truly been a friend to me. She comes from the heavenly father.

    The Laborers Are Few

    What’s more, I think that one of the biggest misconceptions about the Most High is we think that he blesses us without work. Anything that he gives you, he has an instruction manual on how to obtain it. He is truly a teacher. Nothing is too complicated for the creator to make you skilled in works. As long as you understand that you are here to serve him and not the other way around. Therefore follow his lead. Some people may say well I have felt the trial but never the peace. I would say to you, truly seek the Most High without rebellion.

    Travail, without turning into a survivor. I know you are probably thinking, isn’t it the goal to survive? No, surviving is not the goal. Surviving means barely made it. Anyone who lives through trauma survived. You can be without a soul and still be a survivor. If there was no food on the earth for months people would eat people to live and call themselves survivors. The goal is to be a warrior. Warriors are the 5 people that decided not to eat other people and learned how to make the soil nutritious enough to grow food again.

    Be One Of The 5 Warriors

    Learning to center your soul in the midst of trial will make you a warrior. You will be a thriver. You would be one with integrity. Your stance will be the stance of strength. There is none like inner strength. Inner strength is integrity, healing, love, compassion, understanding your weapons, the ability to move forward, building and knowing when to re-build. With that being said there is no inner strength without the Most High. If you choose the Most High you choose strength. You choose to be a warrior. You choose peace.

    (Poem) “God Didn’t Stutter”

    The inspiration for writing (God Didn’t Stutter) is most times the people that say someone else is in a cult don’t even follow or understand the bible they claim is their manual for their own religious beliefs. This is not to say there are no cults; but the term is often used to bully those who don’t want to follow the crowd. Anything that corrupts the Most High’s ways are the real cults. Always use your discernment.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    I heard that a small group of organized people with the same beliefs were a cult… religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or Sinister is googles top search results… If you ask me a large religious group is bullying the little people with organized insults.. So I guess the broad path is what the world instructs..It doesn’t matter how many people self-destruct.. that was made clear in the normal consult… I and a small group of people still believe that the Messiah came to make mankind’s laws erupt, without changing not one pin drop of what the Most High constructs.. so does that make us a cult? For following our father’s rules that mankind attempted to corrupt.. my father says in his word that the path is narrow so following the crowd should make you to hit a screeching halt… So what is a cult? My new definition of a cult is the broad path that made many lives end abrupt.. sounds sinister to me.. sounds like Satan’s worshippers to me.. So how do you believe in God if his word you chose to deduct? You can’t have it both ways it’s time you bow down on your knees and stop counting on your luck..

    It’s just me and you in this world full of people… You’re my father, my provider, my comforter, the one who saves me from the sheeple.. you are the one that’s always regal.. during persecution, I block out the reaper, and think of you, you are my keeper… Making me strong when I am weaker… I realized that it’s all about you and your believer’s.. nothing else matters in this world full of seekers… Their just players on the board to make our love for you grow deeper..

  • Loving The Most High

    Poem titled Loving The Most High

    Misconception Of love

    At the age of 25 my eyes were first opened to have an understanding on what loving the Most High is and his requirements of those that love him. I started a relationship with the Most High years earlier at 21 years old but it was without a good understanding of how to properly serve him. At that point it was mainly focused on trusting the Most High in what he can do for me.

    In return I attempted to be my own version of what I thought was serving the Most High. You know just the basics of being kind and trusting God. I was still under the mindset that as long as I say please forgive me for my sins on my last breath of life I was going to heaven.

    Fake Love

    It was like I trusted the creator but I didn’t have anything to make me take the relationship seriously. I had no understanding of the bible at that point. Although I attempted to read a scripture here and there. Nonetheless it was in my heart to serve our creator.

    The problem was I had no real idea on loving or how to serve the Most High. Eventually with that mindset my relationship with the Most High was put on the back burner. There was no real obligation to keep me steady.

    Love Is A Action

    A lot of our relationships with the Most High starts and stops at how much he loves us. When the main topic that matters is; how much do we love him? The Most High loves those that love him. With that being said love is an action. If you love someone you care about what hurts them and what makes them smile.

    We never want to disappoint who we love. You see, the Most High does not need our validation. So you or me saying God knows I love him while breaking his commandments every chance available is not love. That is flattery; which the Most High could care less about meaningless words.

    Laughter Turned Eye Opening

    At age 25 I was actually on periscope watching videos and there was a man that caught me and my husband’s attention when talking about racial issues. We thought it was highly entertaining because he was going in and making a lot of sense. I won’t say his name because he eventually became Islamic. I don’t want to offend this gentleman but all of this is a part of the story.

    In no way do I want to disrespect anyone’s spiritual beliefs but before his switchover he gave a powerful piece of advice. With that being said I did not keep up with his videos so I don’t know what he teaches now. What I took from those short few months of his teachings in every video he said read the bible for yourself. I still appreciate the valuable information that I learned from him during that period of time in my life.

    Stay On The Path

    My belief is that we as people can get off of the path if we become a person that seeks to be the smartest in the presence of people. Everything we learn has to be with the intention of building an intimate relationship with the creator. In general if we seek spiritual information outside of the Most High, the creator can not dwell within our spirit. He allows us to get off of track when it becomes more about our mission than his.

    If you truly trust the Most High to do all things then you wouldn’t have other spiritual things as a backup plan. When you build a loving relationship with the Most High there will be many things that will attempt to severe the bond. One thing that I know most people struggle with is doubt during hard times. Those are the times to trust in the creator like never before.

    You Can’t Love Through Someone Else

    Nevertheless during the time that I was watching him he was representing loving the Most High. He talked about obeying the laws and its importance. The main thing that I took away from this gentleman is he would always say read the word for yourself. If you read the word for yourself even if your pastor decides he no longer is a follower of the Messiah; it won’t have you questioning your own beliefs. With that, being said the Messiah is a follower of the Most High. Therefore, because the holy spirit comes directly from the Most High and imbedded within the spirits of Mankind; it is okay in my humble opinion to follow the Most High directly and not through a Messiah. Every Messiah is a leader and also a man. Matthew 12:32 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. If you are interested in hearing my thoughts about this topic check out my podcast.

    Also if you read for yourself you will start to learn what the Almighty actually requires of us. I took those words into my heart and I did just that. While reading the word I truly got to know who the Most High is; and started to practice loving him. How can you truly love someone that you don’t try to get to know?

    Intimate Love With The Most High

    I built an intimate relationship with the Almighty. It was then that I realized that he didn’t create me so that he can serve me. So often we hear God got you; but do you got God? He created us to serve him. In return he will build you in every way beyond your imagination. This life we live is short but eventually we go on into eternity. Which eternity do you want to dwell in? Even before eternity, when you follow the Most High you will never feel alone in your life.

    No matter the situation you will always be able to feel his presence in the midst. I think that there are so many times where we don’t allow the Most High to work things out for us. It is because we get stuck in our own vision of what life should look like. If you are following the Most High, allow him to lead you. I leave all of you with the advice that helped me. Read the word for yourself and might I add pray for understanding. 

    Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

    13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

    14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

  • In Due Time

    Man reading poetry titled In due time

    (Poem) “In Due Time”

    My inspiration for writing “In due time” is it seems the more you try to be a decent person, the more people give you problems. I wanted to give some validation to people going through this by letting you know that I get it. You are not alone. You deserve to hear that sometimes. Through the Most High we can be there to pick each other up when we are feeling down.” -Author Urban Poems-

    Let’s be honest, you were nominated… Guilty for being honest is the reason why you’re hated.. incriminated for daring to go against the zombie matrix.. They chose the life of being faded.. hearts drunk and infiltrated.. your presence makes their life a little complicated.. their forced to think about their actions and can no longer be exonerated.. so they team up to make your logic seem underrated.. but always asking questions just to make you feel shaded.. they want you irritated… Attempting to make your soul dark jaded.. saying join us the darkness is highly rated.. join or prepare be agitated.. with their demons fully concentrated.. it’s like their demons infatuated with keeping you suffocated.. all to stop you from navigating.. so you choose to be quiet, now they mad you won’t escalate it.. doubting your strength, they really thought you’d be dominated.. but it’s time you feel validated.. moving on your heart is truly unpenetrated.. maybe scarred, but God is why you’re vindicated.. through it all you’re amazing, you’re smart, you’re caring, your laugh is needed and appreciated.. this moment is for you it’s time you feel elated.

  • Bright Green

    Bright Green

    Looking Forward To Better Days

    Grey, beige, and a bright green sits around me making a circle. It is like knowing there are better days ahead which are bright green; while grey and beige feels like I am just out of place but in place at the same time. Still, that green is so bright and pretty. Grey and beige have taught me so much though. It’s like there is no green without grey and beige. The green is like the color of a Granny Smith apple. So gentle but so bright. Also it is just so light on the belly.

    A Weird Nightmare

    Grey and beige is like a weird nightmare. It’s one of the odd nightmares. You know how when you have nightmares where you get into a fight. In these fights for whatever reason you are fighting in slow motion and it seems impossible to win. Then there are the every once in a while dreams where you just beat the hell out of your enemy lol. This grey and beige is like that. When I have dreams I usually realize I am dreaming while dreaming. So I know that usually I am not able to move that fast. Therefore it surprises me that the version of me in the dream is winning like that.

    The Most High Runs The Show

    It’s a grey and a beige that I know the Most High has all control of. Grey and beige are being used against itself to cancel each color out. Grey and beige are serving its purpose. Which is a very necessary purpose. I don’t like it; but yet it has revealed so many new things to me. When I really think about it I feel bad for grey and a little for beige. As grey and beige attacks me; I feel bad that there is nothing I can do to take it to the bright green with me. It hates bright green. If it made it to the bright green it would only devise plans to destroy it.

    I Care But It Is Out Of My Hands

    It makes my stomach sink a little knowing that grey and beige will always be followers of red. Grey and beige can not see how to thrive in the midst of green. I just wonder what could have been done differently to free grey and beige of its own prison. It is like grey and beige can only see red. Therefore confusing itself into trying to destroy green. Green and red are enemies. Red has attempted to destroy the reputation of green many many times. Red despises that green represents the trees, grass, plants, herbs and many earthly things. The versions of red that are a main focus is a cut in the skin, or an injury of some sort. It’s like in some ways red reminds you of a loss.

    Focused On The Wrong Things

    Every time red looks at green it is pissed. So red attempted to destroy greens reputation by creating money. Money is a root of all evil. I always wonder why red didn’t just maximize the beauty that it can bring to the world. Red has gifts. One of the many gifts of red are all of the healthy fruits that are red. Let’s not forget the beauty of a red rose. The most beautiful role that red plays is a woman’s ability to conceive. Which is a menstrual cycle. You see red has only focused on the negatives of a menstrual cycle not realizing that without one you can not bring life into the world. I just wish that red could see its value. Then maybe it will stop trying to destroy green.

    Red Used You

    Green and red have two different purposes; but red will never be able to see its purpose. Red has recruited grey and beige to work on its behalf. Grey and beige are hypnotized by red. The thing is, red loves no one. The future for grey and beige is despair because every color that follows red has a terrible ending. I can’t take you to the green with me because of all of the things that have happened. Nevertheless, there is a route for grey and beige to get to green on their own. First they would need to have a talk with the Most High to be purged of red. Then they will have to prove to the Most High they are worthy. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. Only then can they make it to green.

  • Never Cross Yah

    Man reading poetry titled Never Cross Yah

    (Poem) “Never Cross Yah”

    The inspiration for this poem (Never Cross Yah) is reminiscing on each time that I went against God to please a person there were consequences. Each time that very same person would turn on me. It is almost like the Most High says if you value their opinion over mine, then I will leave you to it but without my protection. By going against God you are hurting your own relationships with others. God knows what is best; it may hurt their feelings for you to say no today and save the relationship for the long-run. Then again, sometimes certain people don’t need to be in your life. -Author Urban Poems-

    Man I don’t even know where to start.. but fuck it you let us get to this broken part.. all I can feel is a broken heart…torn in this broken place I call the dark ..this time you did it… As strong as I try to be I can’t take this dart.. to the all the one’s that planned this you won.. I never said I was smart.. so what made you wanna break me down to this broken art.. you tricked me into sinning for you, making my father Yah depart… as hard I tried to stand it seems that evil broke me once again..you won again.. at least in the sight of man.. I’ve never been broken and didn’t arise stronger than when I began.. and this one hit hard.. so on this next race I’m gone run faster than I ever ran.. if this is it, I learned my lesson to never cross God’s plan.

  • Toxic-People love sensitive individuals

    Poem titled Toxic-People love sensitive individuals

    Sensitive People Notice Everything

     Toxic-people love sensitive individuals. Sensitive people notice everything from tone or how a sentence was worded. Which makes them extremely reactive and easy to extract energy from. Most sensitive people can literally be mentally abused in plain sight and no one will notice it except them. Toxic people love this because they can extract energy without taking responsibility for the outcome. In fact loving the outcome. You will notice that after a toxic person belittles their victim their mood will even brighten up. It is as if they just drank an energy drink.

    That is if they think their insult landed. If it does not land after a few tries a toxic person’s mood becomes extremely depressed. Like a flower that hasn’t been watered. They need your energy. A sensitive person to them is an unlimited supply of energy. This is why toxic people love sensitive individuals. I watched a video years ago and in this video the woman explained it so well when she stated that these people actually regulate themselves through you. This is true. I have seen toxic people have emotional breakdowns from not being able to trigger their target.

    Don’t Allow Them To Control Your Comfort

    The worst thing you can do is let these people force you into seclusion. That is going to have your emotions all over the place because you are allowing them to control your life. They are stopping you from being you because you don’t want to deal with their temper tantrum. Their antagonizing behavior is more of a reflection of how they feel about themselves than you. In fact, hurting you is all about them trying to balance their own negative emotions by destroying your positive emotions.

    Toxic-people love sensitive individuals as if draining your energy is their life force. If there were energy infusions similar to blood transfusions sensitive people would be paid to donate energy. You are not responsible for their negative emotions. Don’t play their game but also know your rights to own your peace. It literally hurts them to see you happy. In a family or group setting you can’t always just confront a toxic person about their actions. Most times the whole group knows the person is toxic but will all say they haven’t noticed anything. Here’s the good one: “you take things too personal.” As time goes on you will notice that the toxic person causes hell for everyone.

    You Don’t Have To Prove Anything

    Nevertheless you don’t want to stick around to find out. Simply because you know what you went through and you don’t need anyone else to validate it. Most times there is at least one other person in the group that is also toxic but probably seems like the nice one at first glance. The rest of the group is so used to it that they don’t understand why you are complaining. It is important for you to acknowledge if you have to be around that person again that yes the things they did or their intent did hurt you. You didn’t lose any battles in a game that you are not playing.

    Before you knew what you were dealing with you probably indeed played their game by simply trying to defend yourself. Or even wasting your time trying to show them the error in their actions. They love that because it’s like a new opportunity to disappoint you. Acknowledge that if a person is constantly trying to trigger you that you are not a weak person for reacting. Acknowledge what you went through. The second most important thing is for you to know that a toxic person’s goal is to trigger you. This will help you to be less triggered once they do what you already knew they would.

    Their Energy Is Demonic

    There is a very dark energy surrounding these individuals. They literally all do the same thing but in different ways. It doesn’t matter how smart or dumb they are, their goal is the same. Which is to trigger you. Sensitive people held on to their vulnerability which helped them identify their flaws and improve themselves. Toxic-people hate and love this about sensitive individuals. They love that they can exploit it and hate that you are comfortable in your own skin. Acknowledge that you can not be better than these people at their game. Trying to be more evil than them is like a new employee trying to out work a 10+ year veteran employee.

    Nevertheless you can be better than them at your game. Which should be improving yourself, living your life on your own emotional gauge, and rejecting theirs. Becoming like them is exactly what they want. After behaving like them for so long you will corrupt your own character. You will exhaust yourself trying to play a game that is first and second nature to them and not in your nature at all. You could probably very easily crush the little bit of human left in these people but you will hurt yourself doing that. As a matter of fact I don’t think you will crush them all. The demon in them would just pat them on the back for doing a good job at turning you.

    Sorry That I Am Not Sorry

    I believe that as a small child some toxic people were sensitive but their spirits were broken. They probably learned fast that life is easier as a villain. After denying vulnerability for so long I believe that being a villain became their complete self identity. It’s impossible to feel sorry for them because they usually hate you for caring and will use it against you. I have had toxic people use my invitations to help them as a reason to insult my competence. Not anymore, I refuse to build a house for a person who is tearing mine down. These people will actually defend people who refused to help them and criticize the one person that helped them.

    Your kindness is simply an invitation to be exploited for a toxic person. If you have kids with the person or have to deal with them always keep your feelings out of all cordial interactions. Kind of treat the situation like a professional occasion. Remember, you are not responsible for their negative emotions. That to me is the only way to be around these people without them sucking the life out of you. “Toxicity needs your energy like needing water; let it die of thirst.” Always remember you are not playing their game. Your focus is to remember that their emotions do not belong to you.

  • Color Blue

    The feeling of the color blue

    Blue Is Not What It Seems

     Healing is blue to me. Therefore I think the color blue deserves a second chance. I love the color blue. After all, blue is the color of the sky and resembles the ocean. The color is so calming. I wonder how a term for sadness became “feeling blue”. In my opinion it should be called “feeling red or grey”. Red is the color of blood which is not a peaceful thing to think about. Not knowing my worth was the color red for me. I didn’t just become a person of morals and spiritual conviction overnight.

    Subconsciously Worthless

    There was a time when I subconsciously thought I deserved nothing. No apology for being mistreated. No food if there were two plates and three people. Short of no say on how I should be treated. Nevertheless, I didn’t know that I was doing these things. It was all subconscious because if I had known I would have stopped it. I have never been afraid to defend myself. However when it came to me I had no standards. Which is weird because when it came to others I would defend them even if I had to stand alone.

    Punishing Yourself

    For all of that I taught people that I was a tool to be used. Through me not loving myself I gave others who use your weakness against you permission to mistreat me. No I am no angel I have hurt people also, but I learned from it. I made amends by choosing not to be that person; but I never forgave myself. Still, I was extremely selfish up until around the age of 21. Life was lived day to day not thinking about the trespasses of yesterday or the consequences that were ahead of me. Life was red for me and I hit many rock bottoms to get to blue.

    Thinking They Got Away With It

    One thing that I can say is that a lot of times I learned from my mistakes. Which is how I became a person that I can be happy with today. Through the years of me learning that I also deserve to be treated fairly I have noticed a strange thing about people. I’ve learned that when a person hurts you and you don’t address it; they feel as if they did no wrong. If you dare to separate yourself or decline their request because of their record of manipulation, they feel wronged. It is as if they truly think that what they did is not a factor in your decision.

    Accountability Test

    See when I was wrong I knew why I was being told no. That’s how I learned from it through accountability. My grandmother’s are who I hurt the worst. The two people in my life who were there for me. I almost want to cry just thinking that I hurt these two beautiful people. How did I become a genuinely decent person you ask? I was given the whooping of my life by my bad decisions and the Most High. Everything was taken from me. I was thrown in a hole so deep that it was utter darkness.

    Growing Through The Pain

    While I was sitting at the bottom of the pit I had time to truly reflect on who I wanted to be. So I started climbing and climbing and climbing until I reached the surface again. While climbing I picked up so much armor I didn’t even recognize myself. I couldn’t have done it without the almighty Yah. Although it was hard I abandoned red and met the color blue. I still am not good at saying you hurt me. Although I don’t allow myself to be mistreated; I tend to ghost anyone who I feel hurt me. I don’t like to talk about it. Anytime that I have told most people what hurts me it is used against me.

    Romans 5:3-5King James Version

    3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

    4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

    5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

    My Love Verbs To You

    I share this because I want you to remember to value others but don’t forget about you. Don’t punish yourself forever for the past. With true repentance you deserve a second chance. People who you hurt in the past may not give you a second chance. Although things are that way, they also deserve their space to heal. If that means that you can’t be a part of their life, love them enough to apologize and give them their space. Once you do that forgive yourself. Don’t let nobody tell you that you deserve to be treated less than a human. Love yourself, you are worth a second chance. Let red be a thing of the past; you deserve to feel blue.

  • Ah Hehe Hell

    Man reading poetry titled Ah Hehe Hell

    (Poem) “Ah Hehe Hell”

    I was inspired to write this poem (Ah Hehe Hell) because black television downplays the fight of activists. It seems to try to portray them as if they have mental issues for wanting to be treated fairly. Black television all together pushes a negative brain washing narrative. I can’t even watch a show without seeing something that irks me anymore. -Author Urban Poems-

    Why are black sitcoms making fun of black activists.. shows like black-ish.. have me heated as they play out our active risk.. using black actors to turn our pain into a diss.. bad acting depicting abolitionist.. making jokes like painting the snow black.. and have us thinking, that’s a group of extremists.. so called actors displaying violence with a kiss.. how much did they pay you to keep our brains in bliss.. to keep your own on a list.. the message is to kill black concerns by using their own fist.. mannn.. you gotta be dumb if you still don’t get the gist.. Being a sale out is Anthony Andersons biggest wish.. but he’s no worse than Martin or the rest who keeps their heads in the mist.. claiming it’s all comedy while serving a laugh within a hiss.. destroying us slowly is Hollywood’s biggest hit.. Y’all helped them with their mission to demolish and dismiss… Man I’m just shaking my head.. how did we go from strong to doing anything for a bone.. black entertainment is just a terrible remix.

    (Poem) “Be True”

    The inspiration for this poem (Be True) is to say that we are human not robots; and don’t let nobody tell you any different. -Author Urban Poems-.

    The world is full of fake positivity.. They got you smiling at your enemies

    Saying it’s okay that we’re all really frenemies.. You play along while they steal all of your Energy…

    You shrug it off to get along saying forget about the inner me… You neglect your soul for so long it becomes a mystery..

    people losing everyday to built up negativity.. yeah I guess it’s their own fault for humanities instability..

    fake stability holds no accountability.. no responsibility, for causing all fragility.. it has no reliability…

    but it’s always full of liabilities.. like you doubting your ability.. Real strength, is in your sensitivity…

    In it, is your real true identity.. Don’t let the world kill density… Stay true to you, and let God be your infinity.

  • Demon Influence

    Poem titled Demon influence

    Influence Is The Game

    This is my personal opinion on how I believe demon-s influence behavior. This opinion was developed through my observation of individuals who seem to be on demon time. Anyone can be influence-d by a demon if you are not careful. It is kind of creepy even writing about this to be honest. I usually wouldn’t even read anything like this, lol. However I am writing about it, so let’s get on with it. With that, I must say that there are things that I don’t know about in the spiritual realm that makes this not true for some people.

    Hi-jacked Emotions

    My belief is that demonic forces control the emotions of the person; but the person is in control of their own brain. For example if a person wants to harm another person they try to find that said person’s weakness, correct? So what if you somehow convinced that person that your weakness is them giving you a hug everyday. Once they are convinced they start to give you hugs everyday because in their mind they are showing you how much they hate you. The feeling of hatred is there but their brain is not smart enough to comprehend that they have been deceived into showing you love. In their minds they are hurting you.

    Hard Decisions

    You can feel irritated by another person’s presence although they have done no wrong to you. Sometimes your spirit’s just don’t mesh.  Aside from that, the feeling is there but what you do with it is completely up to your brain. Just the same with jealousy, sexual immorality, greed, etc. The feeling is given to you from demonic forces but what you do with it is up to your brain. Notwithstanding, some people’s brains are completely destroyed or under-developed. In those circumstances a demon has more control. The reasoning is because once the demon plants the feeling the brain has little or no emotional intelligence to fight back. Therefore the actions following the feeling can be explosive.

    As Long As It Is Satisfied

    It is my belief that if a person is set on doing evil but believes that evil is good and good is evil that they will do good thinking that they are doing evil. As long as the wicked emotion is satisfied the brain can be deceived. Just the same, this is why there are different levels to narcissism and cluster b disorders. Every person satisfies their emotional needs at a different level. Whatever their brain tells them is satisfying that emotion which the demon implanted. I must say all of this is completely a theory. I have tested this theory out and it seems to be accurate on some levels. Nevertheless, I hope I didn’t scare anyone by talking about this. For those interested in this type of thing I just wanted to share my thoughts on it.

  • Emotions have purpose

    Article titled emotions have purpose

    We Have Many Emotions

    All emotions have purpose. As humans we have many emotions, most of them are actually necessary for different situations. I will talk about why I say most emotions are necessary. Although I usually avoid jealousy; in the bible God has placed the feeling in certain individuals to fulfill prophecy. All emotions have purpose. Although jealousy is one emotion that usually leads to destruction for the person letting it control them.

    Emotions Make Us Human

    Inner Joy is an emotion that stops us from being jealous of others or at least being able to check yourself if you feel jealous. Fear invokes our fight or flight response which can save your life in a life or death situation. The emotion of the week seems to be happiness. Happiness is necessary so we can enjoy time with the people we love. Without happiness you wouldn’t be able to enjoy all of your favorite activities. When slaves escaped the plantation; I am sure that happiness didn’t make them do it.

    Emotions Invokes Change

    They were probably feeling anger, despair, distress, even sadness for the family they left behind. Anger and distress probably pushed them to make the necessary decision to leave. Which makes me think for Harriet Tubman to return to save others; she must have grieved for them. Grief likely played a part in her saving others. As a matter of fact most of our revolutionary history for the whole world came from feelings of anger and grief. Every change came from someone applying their anger and grief in a way to make a change.

    One Emotion Used To Silence Another

    It is important to acknowledge all of our emotions. I feel like sometimes fake happiness is used to silence people who have a revolutionary spirit. For example there were people who wanted the world to just shut up and be happy after George Floyd was murdered. Personally, I was pissed. I lived in a smaller city at the time where there were no protests going on. That didn’t stop me; my anger and grief had me downtown by myself protesting. I met other people who also wanted to protest and by the end of the week the whole city was protesting.  Likely they were already planning a protest; I just didn’t know about it so I did my own.

    Conclusion

    Admittedly due to some people coming out for the wrong reason; it made me regret protesting. Some people with no soul only came out to twerk and rob stores. They didn’t give a damn about what happened to George Floyd. In my opinion they were and still are part of the problem. I know now that we are supposed to cry out to the Most High for change. Only then will things play out in a fashion where we can get justice. People that are successful in making a change were playing out the Most High’s plan to free us from slavery. All of our emotions have a time and place. All emotions have a purpose. Don’t be afraid of them; learn how to use them in healthy ways. I will place a list of emotions below. 

    “fear, anger, shame, contempt, disgust, guilt, distress, interest, surprise, and joy, adoration, amusement, awe, confusion,  desire, disappointment, Interest and sadness, happiness”

    I don’t care to argue or to get the last word, at some point I don’t care if I’m even being heard.. I just want peace and silence, I know it sounds absurd.. But I only care to talk if we can really merge. So I shutdown my talkative urge. And release all toxic thoughts in a much needed purge.. Placing my thoughts in a creative surge.. Always a go to when I’m stressed to my verge.. And then the next thing you know I’m filled with peaceful verbs.. People who cause strife just become a bunch of blurs..

  • Stay True To Yourself

    Poem titled Stay True To Yourself

    What Brings You Joy

    This morning I watched the breakfast club; and the topic was “what brings you joy?”. Admittedly I like this show since it started airing on B.E.T. The host gave their perception of what makes them happy and so did the guest who called in. Charlamagne stated “that your happiness is what makes others envious.” While I can see where he is coming from and agree; I do have a slightly different opinion. I believe that it is your courage to stay true to yourself that makes some people envious.

    Staying True To Your Weird-ness

    With that being said if you stay true to yourself it will also bring you happiness. Staying true to yourself does not mean giving yourself permission to destroy yourself. It does not mean that you should get drunk everyday because that’s what you like to do. That’s just self destruction. When I say this I mean stay true to that person in you buried beneath all of the barriers you have placed as a way to make it through. Stay true to the goofy outfits you like to wear that never match. This one’s for me. I truly love to wear tacky clothes for some reason.

    In complete transparency when I wear a tacky colorful outfit that is comfortable; I feel like I am on top of the world. I have these one pair of pants that I think are just awesome; but I have been called farmer Jane while wearing these pants. I mean like someone started singing a whole song singing “Farmerrrrr Janeeee….” Admittedly, I truly honestly don’t know how to dress that stylish. That’s okay because everything is not for everybody. Your outfit does not determine who you are. With that being said if you are into style; do your thing and don’t let nobody make you feel guilty about it. Stay true to you.

    You Can’t Have True Joy Without The Most High

    One way to know if you are doing it for you is to ask yourself “Would this be my decision if no one is watching?” Also take note that everything I say is with the use of discretion. Don’t go outside butt naked because you want to stay true to yourself. Staying true to myself consists of placing my relationship with the Most High first. That alone created all of my other values. Which a few are standing by my morals, integrity, and values. I will give up anything if it comes between these things. I thank the Most High for the day that he placed my pride and ego in a shredder. It was the day that changed my entire destiny.

    It was the day that gave me joy. Through every decision I can be happy knowing that I am staying true to myself. True happiness to me can not come from an outside source that is worldly. Only the Most High can give true joy. With that being said it is not natural to be happy 24/7. I don’t want to tell you to aim for happiness. You should aim to understand yourself and your emotions. Learn about yourself and improve the things about you that compromise your true inner being. Fight anything within you that tries to steal core values.

    Your Morals Will Be Tested

    When you make this decision you will be tested and that’s when you have to stand ten toes down. When you come out of the other side of the test it will solidify your values. After that, the majority of the time staying true to you is easy. Although every once in a while you have to pull out your boxing gloves to let it be known that you are still with the core values. Getting to know yourself, being honest with yourself, and most of all keeping the Most high first will always lead you to joy. The Most High is a teacher that will teach you all things that you need for this thing called life.

    (Poem) “Dead To Me”

    This poem “Dead To Me” is personal to me. It is inspired by people who I wanted nothing but the best for them. In return they wanted the worst for me. This entire poem is how I truly feel deep down in my heart to my bones.

    Our friendship is over… I’ll never trust you again.. truth is.. you really dead to me.. now that all your lies are revealed.. Let me tell you how I really feel.. I don’t hate you but don’t tell me how to forgive.. you have no right to tell me that moving on means that I must relive.. you took my love for weakness.. coming from you it hurt the worst… All of the plots that you concealed… It’s okay now it’s over.. your pleas fall on death ears.. this case can never be appealed.. you held a place in my heart but so does the memory of the hurt that never healed.. I’m sorry but it can never disappear.. The thought of you just makes my hurt reappear.. the part of you that I loved was never really real.. While I was building you up.. you was going in for the kill.. you thinking how dumb she must be that she can’t see the spit that’s in this meal.. but I saw it.. I saw a demon through your veil.. the jealous kind.. that’s what made me seal the deal.. I don’t want to talk it out.. I placed you in the darkest part of my heart.. in this place I forget you ever lived.. I know it sounds cold but I’m not seeking for revenge.. when you think to call me evil.. remember before my heart turned cold.. that you tried make me kneel.

    Today is the shape of new-ness. I can feel something new is in the air. Something that is better and peace colors the lines of the circle.

Although at times I feel a little nervousness in my belly; a force greater than me places one foot in front of the other. It is like a maze that has different levels. Every time I reach a new level it proves that the work is necessary. I love the work and new discoveries. When new is in the air; I love jumping right in and breaking down the walls of the fear of the unknown. Of course that is with the use of discretion of whether it’s a wall worth breaking.

    Putting One Foot In Front Of The Other

    There are so many things that I have learned from simply putting one foot in front of the other. Also willing to accept what is and what is not. With that I determine if “what is” and “what is not” is truly what the term says. The truth never lies and a lie always has holes in the story. I am also learning on this new destination to trust what is revealed is the truth and don’t question your gut. If everything else lies your gut is always telling you the truth. The almighty gives us this ability to steer us and save us from snares.

    Choosing Which Way To Walk

    Not all snares are bad, some are necessary but only when your mind is set on following the right direction of the destination. You may know that you need to walk another way but there are multiple options. So you choose one. You may start walking and someone who could be viewed as a snare tells you that the best way to get there is through the route that you were already going before you rerouted. At first you deny their suggestion because deep down you know that their intentions are not good. It can be confusing when new is in the air because there are risk involved.

    Staying True To Your Destination

    Somehow they managed to convince you to go that route. There is often trial and error when new is in the air. Although you went along you know that you are only going to get to where you really want to go. So you won’t allow yourself to be distracted when you walk through this place. There is no stopping you from getting to the goal. When you get there they tell you “well you’re here so you might as well stay”. In spite of that your mind is already made up and you refuse and then someone comes as a guide and tells you exactly how to get to where you are going. You can feel it in your heart that they are honest.

    Remain Free Of Distractions

    It feels as if the Most High himself placed the voice of guidance in that person at that moment. You never would have got that information had the person who was the snare had not told you to go back the other way. If you were not determined to get to the right destination you would have stayed when the people told you to “stay there is comfort here”. If you had agreed to stay, the voice of guidance would have never arrived. With that being said you need to be free of distractions and determined to make it to the new destination. Once you know this, not even a snare can stop you. The Most High will use every snare to get you to the next level. It is up to you to stay committed and trust the process.

    Today Is Warm & Fuzzy

    Today is warm and fuzzy. The day feels mellow and smells sweet. There is laughter in the atmosphere. Even so, the voices coming from my peers are as beautiful as chimes. All the same my pets are feeling really cozy and snuggled. In addition, the windows let in a nice breeze and the beautiful lighting from the sun enters the rooms. As I feel so happy inside; I can feel the joy in my belly. Furthermore when I awakened I just wanted to roll around in the bed wrapped in blankets like a joyful child that has no stress in the world. Although I have adult struggles at this moment they are in the distance. This moment is so peaceful. I cherish days like these. Furthermore I imagine new ventures that resemble a warm sunny day when the sun feels perfect on your skin. I look around at all of the faces and everyone seems relaxed. What’s more is I dropped my brittle brand new item on the hard floor and it just bounced around and landed as if it was on air. I just feel free in my mind and spirit in this moment. Today is perfect in peace. Today is warm and fuzzy.

With God’s blessings his morning grace is reusable.. that’s undisputable, you’re still renewable.. As long as God says yes remember you’re unremovable.. As long as you pray God will bless your day and lead the way to make you useable. You’ll go from nothing much to a plan that is fusible. With faith you’re really durable.. your life is curable.. your smile’s a miracle.. it’s really spiritual.. it’s nothing physical.. your strength is lyrical.. I call it mystical.

  • Forever Bae

    (Poem) “Forever Bae”

    The titled explains itself; this 3 part poem (Forever Bae) was inspired by my Forever Bae. ❤️ I love you times a 1000😘. I always pray that this is really forever. -Author Urban Poems-

    Part 1

    Bae I was so mad at you… But when I look into the future all I see is us two.. Loving each other through the good and the blue… Who said love was easy… That’s why real love is few.. As long as we work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.. Let’s put aside our pride and let our hearts beat on cue.. With you by my side I never stress when the bills are due.. Because I know as long as I got you even if we broke we still brand new.. From the day that I met you I already knew.. That we would last forever.. God and determination now that’s the real love clue..

    Part 2

    We all know that demons attack marriages right.. Looking for any cracks where yo love ain’t really tight.. Catching you when you slipping hoping you might not even fight… But bae I love you.. So I can’t miss this flight.. This chance to unite.. So we tell them demons if you tryna box.. Let’s meet up tonight..  We start praying to get our spirits hype.. Yeah we got’em shook , they never would of guessed that we was the praying type.. So we blocked them demon bites.. No matter what they do me and you gone be alright.

    Part 3

    The night sky sometimes reminds me of my lover’s eyes
    Peaceful and relaxing like the early morning sunrise
    I love you through the tough times
    I love the way your smile shines
    You bring my soul chimes
    I love your calm vibes
    It’s like relaxing on the beach near the ocean tides
    I love our late-night rides
    Got me feeling like your ride or die
    Like my soul tie
    Laughing as the car glides
    While staring in your eyes
    Thinking how he get so fine
    I could love you without a dime
    Baby you forever mine

    (Poem) “Social Anxiety”

    This Poem (Social Anxiety) is inspired by how the current conditions of the world have taken us out of our natural habitat. -Author Urban Poems-

    Social anxiety is plaguing our society.. Kids becoming psychopaths due to no variety.. Going outside is a chore due to media commodities.. Parents act like kids while telling kids to slow it down.. Isn’t that hypocrisy.. No more time to read a book or learn to cook, just stuck in ya phone trying to look, this whole gig is mockery.. Are we just slaves to democracy?.. Go to work, eat fast food, get on your phone and go to sleep, do it again.. we really chilling in atrocity.. Then we die at 65, when did a life not lived all happen in such a short velocity.. It hurts to keep it real but I gotta give you honesty.. This is the average beings philosophy… We’ve all been studied and controlled by scientists methodology.. If you go against the grain they study your whole psychology.. to create new distractions made just for your kind with all of their technology.. Perfect warfare to kill your soul all done with no apology..

  • Black To Compete

    Poem titled Black To Compete

    So-Called Advocate

    Black women and men are determined to compete with one another. This morning I am watching the breakfast club on B.E.T. While watching this episode there is a guest; I don’t know her name. However the conversation is about the guest downing the working class community of Black Americans. It was stated that she is engaged to a White American, but claims to advocate for black men. If this is the case she has no valid opinion when it comes to a black man. In addition she stated something to the effect of Black women buying more homes than Black men. Which I think is a very ignorant statement for a so-called black advocate.

    Determined To Compete

    Statements like this cause black men and women to compete with each other. If we compete with each other there is no progress for the whole of Black Americans. In a previous article I used an example of a black man competing with his woman due to insecurities; but that statement does not relieve the black woman of her part in a competition of insecurities against the black man. I could go into details but I choose not to because I know that people will use it to change the point of this article. Although we already know some of the insecurities that go on in the black community on both ends.

    Conclusion

    The point is to stop competing with each other in general. It is very childish to keep saying well he did this and she did that. I almost wonder if some people are just far too childish to rehabilitate to make a better community. Honestly I think that we will have to gather a civilized group of black people that know how to work together and leave the rest to their folly. There are groups of people that are pretending to be black advocates but they are really just in business. They flame the fire of the need to compete with each other. The intentions are not good therefore the advice is harmful. These people hear what they want and make arguments for business. I truly believe our greatest hope is finding like minded Black American and starting something new and civilized.

  • Moving Forward

    Book titled "Moving Forward"

    Much Needed Detox

    After a few days of detoxing from the drama in social media I feel lighter and moving forward. Although most of it is not my drama I feel it still affected me in a negative way. I felt myself having to constantly remind myself to keep my thoughts separate and uninfluenced from anything that does not equal growth. You know I thought that the poem Lake of Souls was for someone else and I was just the writer. Nevertheless in now moving forward I now realize that it was for me. No one just loses themselves overnight. It is a process of changing into someone you never wanted to be.

    No To Compliments

    I felt in my spirit to resist compliments. Considering I don’t like to put it on God just in case he is not in agreement lol. I know it probably sounds crazy. However, over and over I felt that I should resist compliments. You know, I thought about how can I do that; I mean you open an email and someone wants to show their appreciation. They’re not doing anything wrong; but I don’t want to be influenced by not wanting to create in the way that I feel I should. I don’t want a compliment to deter me from telling it like it is like I set out to do because I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. If I do that then I might as well stop creating because what doesn’t offend one offends another.

    My Intentions

    I do think about what I say and try to make sure that I don’t say anything out of pride or any negative emotions. I felt myself slipping from that in a moment of responding to criticism and venting. Responding to anything negative is something I never wanted to do. Through reflection while moving forward I realize that when I started this; I told myself to stay off of the drama side of the internet. My intention was to just watch peaceful videos about decorating and my favorite TV shows. I decided long ago that a girl like me can not handle the “healing” side of the internet. By “healing” I am referring to anything that aims to help others. Although it is amazing that people are helping others; the genuine people are few and far in between.

    Weary Of Entertainment

    While watching these types of videos I found myself realizing how things are really troubling to the soul. There were many people who were into witchcraft and strange things. I don’t think it is meant for us to have such great access to everyone’s world like the internet has given us. Nevertheless in moving forward, I have now decided that drama that comes through any electronic device is a choice. I have made a decision not to participate. I don’t want to skim through the pickings of who’s honest, who’s a witch, and who will say anything just to make a dollar. Moving forward no longer will my eyes entertain people wanting to torment those they deem an easy target.

    Guidance

    All of the guidance I need comes from the source which is the Most High. In addition I don’t want to be placed in a given role that anyone tries to give me. Quite frankly I am only a woman that the Most High can destroy and create another that is far more superior in listening to his guidance. Today in my process of moving forward; I deny the role of being anyone’s moral guide. I am just a flawed person like anyone that gives my perception of the world we live in. Honestly I try to do my best.

  • Lake Of Souls

    Man reading poetry titled Lake Of Souls

    (Poem) “Lake Of Souls”

    This Poem (Lake Of Souls) was inspired by a reminder to not get left behind. Listen when you hear the warning calls. Help others always; just don’t lose you in the process. -Author Urban Poems-

    Don’t get left behind with the boy smoking cigarettes and the mom feasting on pork until her burst.. Don’t get left behind.. Don’t drown your soul in the lake After the most high already told you it’s time to leave the curse.. You heard the alarm but you looked back and got left in the underworld… In the lake digging for souls while losing yours.. You dropped yours while digging for the forbidden.. Every time you reach you find another soul but where’s yours.. Last call the doors are closing you were given a secret exit.. Why did you look back? Now you roaming around and you look for another exit.. Then you find one.. But then you look to the right and in this room you see your cousin.. Tied to a chair.. But all the doors are closing.. You know your cousin chose the world.. But you love him.. So you try to save him and you end up in the lake.. Pulling out every soul but where’s yours? Then you get out leaving your soul behind and all the streets are empty and full of smoke.. Then you meet the pork eating lady and the boy smoking cigarettes. Damn now you wishing you would’ve listened to the last warning call..

  • This Is Peace

    Boy reading poetry titled This is peace

    (Poem) “This Is Peace”

    This poem (This Is Peace) was inspired by the amazing feeling of sitting outside enjoying the sun. -Author Urban Poems-

    As I sit outside gazing at the green grass, as I look at the beautiful flowers.. I feel the warmth upon my head as the sun towers.. Sitting slightly in the shade to avoid the heat’s full powers.. While Dandelions stand tall from the morning rain showers.. Now that it’s dry, I lye bare feet in the grass absorbing the nutrient deets.. As the birds chirp with their tender beats.. This is soo nicee.. so I close my eyes and lightly drift to sleep.. As the earth caresses me with her gentle sheets.. Prompted awakened from the buzzing bees..  whilst the wind blows in such a gentle breeze.. not sparing while sharing her energy with the trees.. the leaves are beautiful as they blow with ease. not worrying about my phone as I let the voices cease. Thank you mighty Yah for this special kind of peace.

  • Pick A Side

    Man reading poetry titled Pick A Side

    (Poem) “Pick A Side”

    This poem (Pick A Side) was inspired by the knowing that when you do what is in your heart there will be others who don’t like it. You will face the creator alone. -Author Urban Poems-

    There is a cuss word used in this poem; not a curse word. Curse words are words or sentences used in ill will towards another person. Example Psalm 109:17  As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. Just the same as blessing is to do good cursing is to do harm. As you can see from this scripture and many others with the actual words curse or cursing in it that the meaning is to despitely cause harm to another with your mouth or actions. You can “curse” someone without using a “cuss” word.

    There are still considerations

    In spite of that, I do believe that it is discourteous to use cuss words recklessly; even if they aren’t used to cause harm.

    Today I sit and think, no matter what you do… You gonna make somebody unhappy.. I  think that’s why most people just try to keep it classy.. With no genuine bonds in this new world making us all whacky… So fuck it, I choose to tacky.. You think you being sassy.. While throwing shade with a smile knowing yo attitude is snappy..  Why you mad because my hair nappy.. I’m drawing a line in the sand because I could never make human brand happy.. I chose my hand.. between the Most High Yah and Man.. I had to pick a side.. Because two tracks can never be ran.. Unless you switching sides so maybe it can.. I love when the fake ones show their true colors that they can’t stand me.. So I’m firm on where I stand.. Following Yah’s plan.. He makes life worth living.. He might bless me with some land… Somewhere safe from where his wrath lands.. He might bless me with a full life span.. After that, I’m tryna get to heaven to join in with the Holy band.. I chose my side, father Yah I’m your biggest fan..

No more fake smiles keeping me up at night.. No more faking like we really tight.. No more energy draining shady slights.. No more of your darkness draining my lights. No more of you preventing me from reaching new heights.. But for now I’m patient pretending it’s all alright.. My enemy will only know when the time is right.. Only after I already won this fight.. Even if my only win is preventing you from my sight.. Trust me you won’t be here when the sun is bright.

  • They Hate You

    They Hate You

    Haters Like To Be In Your Presence

    Today’s topic of the day is; why do people seek the attention of someone they hate? Throughout life every single person that has grown to hate me attempted to control me. Every person that hates me still attempts to be in my presence. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t seek to be in the presence of a person that disturbs my spirit. As a matter of fact I have been through a lot in life and I now prefer to be alone or with people that I know their intentions are good. Call it what you want but I am the one that has to live my life. I don’t hate anyone but I prefer not to put too many more heartbreaks on my spirit.

    They Are Always Playing Mental Gymnastics

    Ever since I can remember I have always preferred separation over drama. This can be a good and a bad thing. Some people will understand how much you value your peace. Therefore they will try to muzzle you by disturbing your peace. If you really want to know if a person hates you; be vulnerable with them. They will take that vulnerability and slowly pick away at it.

    It is better to give a person a reason to expose themselves than to keep a wolf in your life. If you are an independent person and everyone comes to you for help, say no sometimes. A lot of people come to you because they know there is no requirement for them to help in your life. So you are like a glass of water that they can drink from, but they never have to fill the glass. Once you say no you will find that these individuals will act as if you betrayed them.

    Give The Real Intention A Reason To Show Up

    It is better that they expose themselves than for you to keep allowing them to drain you of your kindness. These people don’t even think you deserve human decency. For them you are strictly someone to be used to their benefit. They seek your attention because they know that you are a good person. In their mind they feel they need to control how your good deeds are applied to the world. When they are unable to do this you will be like an enemy. Be careful of flattery; in most cases it is used so that devaluation can be effective. Personally, I love when people expose themself. Most likely my spirit already felt it, and now I have a reason to draw the lines clearly. Once they make it clear that they dislike you; you can now say let’s separate ourselves.

    Don’t Allow Them To Steer Your Life

    People want you to be afraid to take the steering wheel in your life. Pay attention because they will never have a problem with you when you are driving your car straight to hell. The issues will arrive when you turn that car around and drive the other way. Something on the inside of them gets triggered by this. It triggers them to be focused on bringing you back to where you were by shunning you. When you decide to live a better life, be prepared to lose people. Always trust that the Most High will give you the people that he deems worthy in your life.

  • Insecurities vs Jealousy

    Insecurities are not equal to jealousy

    Everyone Does Not Process The Same

    The world today has an all or nothing mindset. Insecurities does not automatically equal jealousy. I mean it would be nice if I had a Rolls Royce, but I won’t get mad at my friend for having one. Should my friend then assume that I am jealous of her Rolls Royce because I don’t have one? No she should not. Your friend getting a Rolls Royce should not trigger dissatisfaction with your Honda. Actually if she did make that assumption without cause that would actually be a toxic trait within her. If a person has given you no reason to believe that they are jealous then you have no reason to think that way.

    It Is About The Behavior

    The only way that you would think that way without signs of jealousy being shown towards you is if that is who you actually are. It is not a reflection of them but a reflection of you. Therefore by assuming this you would be the jealous friend if the tables were turned. You would be the friend that is jealous when your friend also gets a Rolls Royce. In addition you actually were the one competing with your friend who had less. It is what happens when a jealous person gets all of the physical things they ever wanted. This kind of person then wants you to look up to them as the epitome of all greatness.

    Rich In Spirit

    This person still falls in the category of wanting to keep a person in a shell. All of the material possessions can not cleanse a person from having a jealous spirit. I felt this article was important to write because I don’t want to confuse the reader into thinking that just because a person has less it does not qualify them as jealous of another. Jealousy is based on how the person treated you. A person can be homeless and be more rich in spirit than a rich person. People that are rich in spirit do what is in their ability and do not hate what is not in their ability. For me this is only a thing that you can understand  when understanding that the Most High is in control.

    It Is About The Treatment

    The perfect analogy of this is sow, water,pray, and wait. After that it is up to the Most High. When you understand this you never have a reason to blame others. Did you sow? Were you watering? Did you Pray? Were you patient? If you have done these things and did not get what you wanted then it was not in line with the plan of the creator for your life. I say that we all have insecurities because we do. Nevertheless, all insecurities do not lead to jealousy.

    Those two words only go hand in hand with toxic individuals. Two people can go through the same trauma. One person can decide to take it out on others and the other can decide to love others. We can’t  have it all, and being insecure about something does not make you a bad person. It is all about how you treat others that determines jealousy.

  • Insecurities fuel Jealousy

    Insecurities

    Everyone Has Insecurities

    This article will discuss how insecurities fuels jealousy.

    I want you to sit back and think about what could have been the reason for someone starting a fight with you. When you think about it you will find that some of them are different but a lot of them are the same. Everyone has insecurities, including you. People that become jealous to the point of hatred have not learned to process their insecurities in a healthy way. These people have sustained their self worth by a false concept that they have taught themselves.  Even so the feeling of insecurity is overwhelming in these individuals due to their extreme criticism of themselves. To resolve these feelings they have convinced themselves that the problem lies elsewhere.

    When you trigger the insecurities of another person it is because you have proven their learned resolution to be a lie. The main reason why these people are insecure is due to comparison. Secondly they are not able to accept that there will always be a person that is better at a particular task. We must become the best version of ourselves; not the best version of everyone else. Once these insecurities reach a dangerous level they will become jealous of most people they meet. The only people they will truly get along with are people that they can convince to stay in a shell. You will never be able to make this person happy unless you agree to deny the abilities that are instilled within you. Below I will give examples of insecurities fueling jealousy.

    Cause & Effect

    There are two brothers James 11 yrs old and Mickey is 10 . James is outspoken, cheerful, and bold. Mickey is quiet, creative, and timid. Kevin is their babysitter while their parents are on vacation. He has been their babysitter for 5 years. Secretly Kevin bullies Mickey because he knows that he would get away with it due to Mickey’s timid nature. After getting away with it for some time Kevin decides to bully James. James immediately tells his parents.

    The parents are upset and they make sure that Kevin never babysits again. Mickey sees this and becomes jealous of James. When James spoke up it fueled insecurities within Mickey making him feel as if he is weak for being too scared to tell. Since then every time James displayed his boldness it infuriated Mickey. Mickey had his own strengths that he could not tap into because he was too jealous of James. Therefore Mickey made it his mission to prove to James why being bold is a bad thing or to make him feel that he is not actually a bold person.

    Root & Consequence

    A second example is some examples that we see in adults. Katie is a beautiful woman. She is also a very fertile woman. In addition she started to experiment with dating and intercourse at 17 years old. She became pregnant the first time she had intercourse. The father was young also and wanted nothing to do with the child so now she is a single mom. In spite of that she met another guy at 19 and they had 3 kids together by the time she was 22.

    They were in love until they weren’t at 23 years old. Katie is now 23 years old and a single mom of 4 kids. This has caused Katie to feel insecure. Instead of Katie internalizing this as a lesson or finding her strengths; the pain is so great that she compares herself to her friend Erica who has no kids and is married. Seeing Erica who seems to be unable to have kids but is married enrages Katie. She thinks because Erica has no kids her life must be so easy. So Katie makes it her mission to make Erica feel like less of a woman for not having kids.  This helps Katie to ignore her own circumstances by making Erica out of the problem.

    Foundation & Result

    On the opposite end of this comparison we will take a look at Samantha. Samantha is single with no kids and 29 years old. All of her relationships have been short lived due to different reasons. Her best friend Yonna is 29, but married with 5 kids. Samantha is feeling insecure that she is single with no kids because she always wanted 5 kids. She then looks at Yonna and questions her parenting skills.

    Samantha has convinced herself that women with kids don’t know what they are doing. The only problem is Yonna is a great mom. So this truth destroys Samantha’s fantasy that women with kids are bad parents therefore she is lucky not to have any kids. Instead of looking to her own strengths she decides to make Yonna feel like a bad parent and wife.

    The third and final example is a fellow named Derrick. Derrick is a black man in America. America has torn the black man’s ability to provide for his family down to shreds. To successfully tear a person down you must give them someone to compete with. The person must seem similar to them in some form. The black man was given the black woman as his competition and vice versa.

    Worldly Deception Is The Leading Cause

    Derrick has a criminal record at just 18 because black people and especially black men are always a suspect. Therefore they are targeted at higher levels when out in public. Derrick was accused of stealing out of walmart and yes he actually did it, but who doesn’t make mistakes at a young age. Most of his White counterparts are not suspected at the same levels.

    This leads to more incarcerations in the black community. By decreasing black fathers in the community it also leads to poverty and more crime. He was actually in the store with his wife Myia during this incident and due to society’s programming Myia was never accused. If Myia had been alone then she would have been accused. However due to the push to make the black man and woman compete with one another she is not accused in this circumstance. Derrick is then unable to get a job due to his criminal record. Myia goes on to get great jobs and opportunities.

    Tearing Down Of The Psyche

    Derrick is happy that at least one of them is able to work and provide. Derrick is also feeling like a failure due to him not having a job. Instead of Derrick finding his strengths he instead decides that Myia must be the problem. This helps him to be able to deal with not being able to provide. Derrick knew how to build houses from the ground up and could have started his own business. Instead he became focused on the fact that Myia was climbing the ladder in corporate America and he was not. Even so, he placed his focus on making himself seem more valuable to America than Myia.

    He thought “what does America think I am good at? Well, America says that I am attractive even more so than my wife Myia.” Again America has given black men and women many reasons to compete with one another. Derrick comes up with a plan to show Myia that he is better than her by emerging himself in what America says he is better than his counterpart in.

    Outcome

    So Derrick then wants to prove to Myia why she is not as valuable as him. This helps him to not think about the fact that he never tried to go after the strengths that were instilled within him from the creator. He divorces Myia because he wants to play the role that America has given him. Which is looking better than his woman which is a feminine role. He then starts to tell Myia that she looks like a man. Society programs this image by making accusations like the only black first lady is a man.

    We have never heard this accusation of a white first lady. He tries to convince Myia that she is not pretty because he wants Myia to accept America’s role just like he did. Derrick accepted that the black man can not provide and is pretty. He wanted Miya to accept that she looked like a man and should take care of him in a masculine role. Nevertheless he knows that he is a man so this confuses him; so he starts to abuse Myia mentally and physically to feel more masculine.

    He should be a leader in his community but the mind games that America has played has led him into deep insecurities that he then blames on Myia. These roles can also be reversed in ways that black women have placed their insecurities on their sons to bear. It is a continuing cycle of insecurities and hatred that plays out in many ways.

    Conclusion

    The conclusion here is that if a person is not able to process things that they feel insecure about they will start to blame the person that seems to have what they don’t. The person that they will blame will always be someone that they feel slightly similar too in identity. Like for example the crab mentality unless racially motivated. In that case it is to feel superior. Additionally America created an environment of insecurities in order to breed racism. An example of this is how black people were blamed for police brutality against caucasions. Instead of blaming authorities they blamed another group of citizens all because that group spoke out. It is important that we remember not to let our insecurities steal from us. Your Insecurities can steal your securities. Don’t let insecurities craft you. You should be the one to craft your insecurities into your strengths.

    Just because one thing does not work doesn’t mean we are not valuable. We must focus on what we can do and not what we can’t. If you are jealous of someone’s ability to build a house; find out how they built it and build your own. You don’t have to tear down their house. Maybe you don’t have the money to build a house. That’s fine if you don’t. Remember to focus on what you can do and build you a hut. I promise you will love your hut while saving money to build that house. Comparison is the thief of joy and growth.

  • Team Project

    team project

    Team leader-s

    Every Friday is team project day at Alexander Elementary School. There is a boy named Michael. The boy is 6 years old, very smart, and in the 1st grade. His teacher Misses Caiden would often choose him to be the leader of a team project. Michael is an amazing leader as long as the project does not involve sweet treats. Candy was his weakness. He would eat so much of it until he was jumping all around the classroom and forgets about the task. As long as there are no sweets he is very focused and committed to the team project.  The kids in his group names were James, Perry, and Kamiya.

    The 2nd group in the classroom was led by a boy named Jackson. Jackson is 7 years old, very smart, but lazy. His teammates are Britney, Tamia, and Chris. His parents do not allow him to eat much candy. When there was candy at school he only had an appetite for a couple pieces.

    The 3rd group was led by a boy named Erin. Erin’s teammates were Darren, Kiara, and Jeremiah. Most group competitions were either won by Erin or Michael because Jackson would get bored and fall asleep. Therefore it was hard for him to rise to his full potential.

    Project Task

    Misses Caiden asked the groups for a team project that consist of creating a sentence for each word of  the alphabet. She chose the group leaders based on who had the highest test scores. They were all very smart and if dedicated could be great leaders. The prize is a small basket of candy and a toy for each person in the winning group. Michael’s plan was to show at least two words for each alphabet. Jackson had a plan of 3 words for each alphabet and already knew all of the words he wanted to use. While Erin only had one word for each alphabet.

    Team Planning

    Michael saw the candy sitting on the desk and kept sneaking pieces to eat each time Misses Caiden turned her head . He had eaten most of the reward before he even started on the project. He became hyper and only wanted to play. Jackson told his team we are using 3 words for each alphabet. Once he got to letter C he told them the 3 words and then he decided to take a nap. He thought to himself “I have given them the plan and they should be able to execute it while I take a nap. He had snuck out of bed the night before school. In addition he stayed up the whole night watching spongebob.

    Erin discussed the plan with his team and told them how he was able to come up with a word for Each letter. Erin says “I just remember all of my favorite riddles and the words just come.” His entire team started to do this and they all would come up with words together. Erin was very good at spelling words. Therefore he would look over the sentences that everyone created and provide corrections. He actually wanted to help his team to be great so they all got along. At only 6 years old he was very patient. He was very wise at giving corrections without degrading his teammates. He knew what it took to win the prize.

    Project Results

    At 2:00 Misses Caiden asked each group to present their project. Michael and his group were first. Michael tried to fast talk his way out of the fact that he had no project to present. Literally he was talking at the speed of lightning due to all the candy he had eaten. He came up with an elaborate story that a dog snuck in the classroom and ate their project.

     Jackson’s team  was 2nd to present. His 3 team mates went to the front of the class while Jackson was still asleep at the desk. They came up with three words for each alphabet like Jackson instructed. The only problem was they were not good at spelling so for the letter E they used the word dolphin. The project was full of errors. Once Jackson awakened he berated his team saying “I could have won if I had a better team.”

    Erin’s team was 3rd to present. Although they only used one word for each alphabet the writing was neat. Sentences for each letter were full of creativity. Every word was spelled correctly. Erin and his team won the contest and the candy wasn’t even the real prize. The real prize was a pizza party for the winning team. The pizza party was so fun. There was pizza, cake, candy, and a bounce house. While Erin’s team enjoyed the party; Michael and Jackson’s team had to stay back and work on their alphabets.

  • Carlos And The Walk

    Carlos and his long walk to the store

    Carlos’s Walk

    There was a young man walking down the street. He was around 19 years of age and his name is Carlos. Carlos is on his walk to the store, but it is 6 miles away. Therefore Carlous takes a shortcut through the woods. The shortcut lessens his trip by 4 miles. There were a lot of risks in this short cut. As well as a lot of risk in the long route. If he took the shortcut he would be tempted by the beautiful girl that lives in the tent near the woods. She seemed to appear out of thin air. While she was away from her tent one day Carlos snuck in to see what it was all about.

    Carlos’s Discovery

    It was the strangest thing ever. There was an expensive temper-pedic mattress topper that she slept on. This topper is worth five hundred dollars in stores. There was expensive jewelry and beautiful clothing. He laid down on the mattress topper to feel the comfort. Under the pillow he found at least 100,000 dollars. Carlos is confused so he leaves without taking a thing. He wonders why there is a girl that is doing so well living in a tent near the woods. He forgets to go to the store and goes home. His Father asks “Carlos that was rather fast; did you get the eggs? I’ve told you many times never to take the shortcut because there are many dangers.” Carlos responds “No Dad, I just went out for a short walk. I will go to get the eggs now.”

    Carlos Makes A Choice

    He thought about the girl in the woods. She was beautiful and she always winked when he came by. She always wore something like lingerie made of deerskin. The girl would whisper “Come here Carlos, I have something to show you. Do you truly want to live a life worth living”? After thinking about it, Carlos decided to take the long way to the store. The walk was so hard with so much sweating involved. After Carlos took so long on the walk, his father thought that Carlos was just playing around again. So he decided to send Carlos’s brother Quinton. Quinton had no question about whether to take the short cut or not. There’s no way he was walking 6 miles there and then another 6 miles back. As Quinton approached the woods he saw this beautiful woman.

    Quinton Makes A Choice

    She whispered “Come here Quinton. Do you truly want to live a life worth living?” He thought it was weird that she knew his name, but she was beautiful. So he went to her and she said “lay with me”, and he did. As he lay with her, she smiled and turned into a large python and squeezed him until he was lifeless. The python smiles as it collects another soul. Carlos is still walking to the store on the 6 mile journey not knowing what happened to his brother. He trips over rocks and scuffs his knee. He drank his 1 bottle of water that he brought. Which made him thirsty and exhausted. It was so hard to cross the streets because it seemed the cars would never stop. He saw a neighborhood girl named Angelica walking also.

    Neighborhood Girl

    Angelica was a sweet girl but very reserved. He thought I could never talk to her while  sweating and looking like this. So he turned his head, hoping that she wouldn’t notice him. Angelica saw him anyway and she saw how much he was sweating. She had at least 5 waters in her backpack and went over to give him one. She said to him “we might as well walk together since the journey is so long”. His embarrassment went away and he smiled. They walked and talked about school days and life. Also laughing together and really connecting as friends. They even had to dodge a couple of cars together while crossing the street. They finally made it to the store and back home. Him and Angelica exchanged numbers.

    The Long Walk

    After a few weeks Carlos realized that his brother would never return home. Carlos mourned him, and never took the shortcut again. Him and Angelica ended up marrying and having 2 kids. They loved the Most High and always placed him at the head of their life. There were trials and tribulations but mostly peace and perseverance. Carlos always took the long way in all of his tasks. He built their house from the ground up using bricks. When there was a tornado their house was the only one on the block with no damage. Carlos always knew that the long way is the only way to have a strong foundation. Nothing overnight is worth having.  Carlos will always remember that walk.

  • Struggling

    poetry titled struggling

    (Poem) “Struggling”

    This poem inspiration struggling is the effects of a victim mindset. Struggling is also a word request from a visitor. -Author Urban Poems-

    I’m struggling, I’m wondering, did I deserve a life that’s so troubling. Grudgingly, I’m looking at my friends and thinking, why me? With my insecurities bubbling. I never thought that this would be. You see, I once smiled with full teeth… Genuinely.. I can’t imagine what I did to deserve this reap.. Although I hurt some people deep.. But I had no choice in order to climb the next steep. What’s next? Family trying to tell me what’s best.. Telling me to say less, saying I failed the accountability test. With no where else to turn.. My life is a whole mess.. I made a change.. With new mirrors, I can finally see the reason for my stress. With my new life I’m blessed. I can finally get some rest.

    Struggling pt2 Is inspired by a person that is misunderstood in the midst of their struggle.

    I’m sorry I misunderstood your struggle.. Through your hard times I failed to recognize your hustle. Although you were doubted you endured through your bustle. There was no one to hold your hand while you fixed your own puzzle. I made a mistake when I abandoned you in the rubble.. When God was your only snuggle.. On the days that you quit only God maintained your bubble. Life is too short.. I’m sorry that you were muzzled… But now you winning.. So you got the last guzzle… I love you… So let’s put aside this petty rustle.

    You jealous witch, I’ma keep it real and call out your narcissistic glitch. I see you smiling with your fist clenched. You tried to make me doubt myself,  you tryna make me flinch. Peeping with your eyes pinched, copying my every niche. How finch, go take a seat on the losers bench and let that demon itch.. Why did your whole vibe switch? Find your own stitch, if you had a soul you could of sold it and got rich, but your soul is in a ditch. I truly wish you well but I can’t let you catch my pitch.

  • Love Shed

    African American poetry titled Love shed

    (Poem) “Love Shed”

    This poem (Love Shed) inspiration is the destruction of the black mind. Which is occurring from manipulation, brain washing, abuse, and convincing us to be comfortable all by design. Oppression comes in many forms. -Author Urban Poems-

    How did you steal love from a whole race? What made you want a man to hate his woman’s face? What made you think to take that woman’s grace? Telling the whole world she’s in last place. Turning our men into pretty trends, through rose colored Lense, we think it’s comedy for our men to be in a wig just to make it big. Doing anything to blend in a society that wants to see the black man come to an end. Bbls are taking L’s to be this lost our people must be under many spells. While we’re busy chasing our tails, we’ve been deceived in a system set up to make us fail. All by design..We hate each other, so our unity is frail. It’s time we wake up, and break ourselves out of this damn hell. The only way to win is if we submit and follow God’s trail.

  • Serpent Dreams

    Boy reading poetry titled Serpent Dreams

    (Poem) “Serpent Dreams”

    This poem (Serpent Dreams) was inspired by someone attempting to plant thoughts in your head. -Author Urban Poems-

    The devils dreams are full of curses, ..his prophets, are here to fulfill his purpose.. Which is to put many bodies in the back of many hearses.. Uttering spells attempting to pierce your outter surface, while planting thoughts in your head determined to make you nervous.. If it’s God you serving, you’ll always beat a serpent. Returning their rotten spells as deserving for their service.. While observing, you watch you enemy becoming unnerving. As they fail to break your courage.. You recognized their lies, so their forced to watch you flourish… While their demons become malnourished..  There old tricks are powerless because you’ve been refurbished..

    Pt. 2

    I wonder if you can see the serpent.. knowing his traits are really urgent.. causing all confliction is how his darkness keeps converting.. blocking any progress is his red flags emerging… Pay attention to his servants.. manipulation is their service.. notice the anger when you refuse to eat the apple that their serving.. with jealousy in their veins.. your joy is what their purging.. draining of your light because good and evil are divergent.. when you really start to see them, their darkness is unnerving.. get out now and keep it curving.. notice their obsessions.. their perversions are disturbing.. deceiving you out of your soul is the work that keeps them splurging… Shopping for all their demons… Buying more to feed the urges.. They can never win against the holy spirit unless they trick you out of it, so know your worth to keep from merging..

  • Processing Emotions

    A woman processing emotions of irritability.

    Emotions

    Most days I try to live in a space of peace. There are days where disagreements can make me feel Irritated emotions. I can’t allow these type of feelings or emotions to stay on me for long. The first thing I do is pray. Asking the Most High to cleanse my heart and brain of any feelings that he doesn’t want me to have. Then I have to be careful not to spread the emotions to others. So I focus on controlling my tone and the things that I say. After about 20 minutes if I am still feeling some type of way, I go outside. I work out so hard and pray while working out. After that I feel a little better; when I come back to the space I separate myself from everyone.

    I spend some time alone and then just like that the feeling is gone. When I pray I never ask for the most High to rid me of the feeling. Unbeknown to me it’s possible the feeling was given to me to push in a better direction. It could just be a down moment from the problem at hand or it could be more. I don’t know so I try not to assume. I hate to argue so if I am in a bad mood I become extremely distant and overly polite. The reason for my politeness is I want to make sure that I am not the cause of a strife.

    Processing

    The reason why I become distant is because I don’t want to be fake. An example of my politeness is if someone asks me “would you like for me to make you a cup of coffee”? I would say “No thank you.”  Which would be the proper answer for a lot of people. Not for me unless I am talking to someone I don’t know well. Due to my nature of talking a lot to people I am close with, this is not me. An answer for me would be something like “No thank you I wanna drink my coffee once I cook breakfast.

    For breakfast I am going to cook eggs, toast, and avocado, yada yada yada.” Basically I can’t fake the funk when I am irritated. So I just become polite and distant until I am over it. If possible the problem can be talked out. The politeness also comes from a place of controlling my actions and not allowing my emotions to take the reign. I can also be overly polite to people I don’t know well. I used to be an open book and it was always used against me. So now if we are not really close I just try to be polite but not talk too much. Talking this out makes me come a conclusion.

    Conclusion

    The main reason I do this is there is no trust established or a broken trust. Who can trust a stranger or someone they’re not close with. The answer is not many people; so it’s not personal. It is just keeping boundaries in place. If I am in the wrong in the situation once I calm down I will apologize. If I was not in the wrong I won’t be laughing in your face. We can move on once you can talk about your part in the wrong. Also I have to feel like you are genuine. Or you will get the part of me that is overly polite and distant forever. At that point my wall is up.

    Sometimes there are situations where both parties literally think they are right. In those situations I like to talk about what happened and the intentions behind words that were spoken. There is likely a chance of miscommunication. It could also be a difference in views. What could you do about a difference in views? Well I don’t like to force my views on others. So I respect it, and I don’t talk to that person about views that I know causes strife between us. In return I expect the same. In a romantic situation this wouldn’t work. You could have different views on basic things; but when it comes to serious things, decisions have to be made.  I say all of this to come to the conclusion that this is why I have no friends lol. Have a nice day.

  • Morning Air

    Morning time and rain

    Good morning, right now it is 10:59 a.m. My favorite part about the morning is the smell of the fresh air outside. The air smells so good in the morning. Especially when you go outside and take a walk before 8 a.m. I think 7 a.m. is when the air smells the best. Especially if you just go somewhere without driving, that is the best. I have not done it in a while, but riding the city bus at 6:30-7:00 a.m. is so exciting. Everyone is calm and has a place to be; all while still getting prepped for the day. Some people have their coffee mug.

    Others try to stop to get coffee between buses. Personally, I used to love to stop and get orange juice from a burger king that was on my route. I would make coffee and drink it before I left along with a 16 oz bottle of water. So I always had to stop to find a restroom to pee before I made it to work. That’s probably too much info. Which word sounds more proper to you? Honestly, think about it. Does pee or urinate sound less disgusting? Urinate to me sounds like something extra is going on lol.

    Today it is raining, but it is always nice to just look at the rain. It seems as if the rain stretches the morning in a way. I love the rain because it brings such a calm to any environment at any time of the day. I guess that is why there are rain meditation videos and such. The rain in real life makes me want to go to sleep or light some candles. That reminds me I am going to be making some peppermint candles from scratch. I have all of my supplies. Today will be the day that I make one. Wish me well. Hopefully it smells good. It was nice talking to you all today. Have a nice day.

  • Multitasking

    Purple healing poetry life blog and multitasking

    This blog was going to be about how bad I am at multitasking. I mean, I kind of am not the best at multitasking but I do alright. It’s not like I spend my days sleeping. The truth of the matter is when you are adulting, life itself takes a chunk of your time. This is why I have set specific goals for myself to accomplish within the day. I find that for me it is not a problem with making strides but more so a problem with balancing tasks.

    When I find out that I have to get something done; I become hyper focused and other things seem not so important. Admittedly this has worked for me; I have taught myself how to do many things in this manner. Although Admittedly I will need to learn balance. It is almost like I literally have to pull myself away from a task to do other things that need tending too. Balance is what I need more of. I still accomplished my task, but it could be better. I can focus on one task for hours.

    Does everyone experience this? Or am I just crazy lol. No but seriously I know that this is a me kind of problem that I really need to work on. Especially If I want to accomplish goals, do normal life tasks, and etc. By the way etc. means none of your business lol just playing.   I am going to get better with multitasking with practice. Honestly I never realized how much of a problem it was until recently. I know people who can work two jobs, cook everyday, clean up, attend to the kids, etc.

    Then they do it again the next day like that’s light work.  Tell me the secret; because I don’t know how they do it.  The two jobs part is where I would be like “hold on now,” lol. I can stay zoned in for hours. It is so important for me to complete my task. So I make sure that everything is in order during the times that I force pull away. That way I can work without being told the truth about how I suck at multitasking. I don’t do this all the time admittedly. Actually being hyper focused is only done during the learning phase of a new project. I even try to work while eating. How are you with multitasking? I hope it’s better than me lol.

  • Ugly Into Beautiful

    white clouds wallpaper

    Tonight is a ugly moment turned beautiful, as I sit and think. Ugly Revelations are always beautiful when seeking to understand the bigger picture. At first I thought to vent about jealousy, but this feels much better. Like a source of peace that wiped away my frustration. I felt a sense of frustration about how people try to force you into a competition that you never asked to be in. It is always strange when a person hates you for wanting to be yourself. As I realize that there is nothing to be frustrated about. Jealousy has always been around and will always be around. I remind myself that those emotions don’t belong to me; so I have no responsibility to them.

    Most times I believe it is the insecurities of another trying to ease their self-hatred through a target of their choosing. Most times it is someone that they feel like they need to knock down a notch. You know that crab type of mentality. I have seen it many times; same game, different person. It is always confusing to me when people take up this jealousy with complete strangers that probably don’t even know they exist. While writing this, the thought comes into my mind which was peace. I just feel a calm tingle go throughout my entire body. The feeling places a light relaxed smile upon my face. Pushing out any negativity that my enemies try to send my way. I love this, as I take a moment of silence to bask in this feeling.  

  • Think Vision

    vision

    As I sit and think about my vision; I realize that it is not the vision. You are the goal; so I smile from ear to ear. Not because of the vision, but because of the writer of the vision. There’s no other way. I know I couldn’t have written this vision on my own; it is impossible. In fact I didn’t even see it coming. I understand why the vision is not handed to me on a silver platter. Also while understanding that the work, the struggle, and the battle is all a part of the vision. When the vision given to me becomes a reality no one will be able to take the credit; but the almighty God. That is the most important thing about the vision.

    It is meant to be the way it is. So, I smile with joy in my heart. Amazed at the God I serve. The almighty creator of the earth. I love you; you took me one who is flawed in many ways and poured your blessings upon me. All because I accepted your call to love you, and do my very best with real efforts to live by your ways. Although I sometimes fall short of your glory you give me credit for actually trying everyday. You chastised me and brought me back to you every time. Like a father who loves his daughter; you know that well rounded kind of love. Even when I fall short I know that your ways are always right.

    I understand that I can’t pick and choose which command is true. Your commands are perfect in every way. Most times when you teach me something new I never see it coming. Suddenly I learn things that would usually have my brain in scrambles, but then you make it so easy to understand. This is all you and I am just a willing vessel. One of your many creations, I love you.

  • What A Lovely Day

    white clouds wallpaper

    Today is lovely. It may not seem lovely to the person who’s on a vacation enjoying a cruise right now, but to me it is nice. The person on private jets weekly, is probably thinking that a cruise is subpar. I am willing to bet that a billionaire who gets in a jet just to grab a bite to eat thinks that weekly jets are nothing special. I am lucky to have a home and warm food. To a homeless person in the midst of their struggle that is a luxury. A person with a terminal illness may think I will rather be homeless any day. For the person that has all of these problems combined; they’re probably wishing they could just choose one and that would make them happy. You see, it’s all in how you see life. It’s not about what you don’t have; it is about what you do have. Of course there is balance. You don’t want to become complacent and give in to your struggles. Obstacles are a part of life so we are constantly striving to grow; but don’t forget the little things that are also the big things. For example breathing. It may seem like such a small thing to think about, but what would you do without it? Have you ever heard the saying “Comparison is the thief of joy. Well it is true. Only compete with the person you were yesterday, and remember to give yourself some grace. No one is perfect, and that’s not to say live your life like a crazy person. It simply means when life throws you lemons make lemonade. You are beautifully and wonderfully made; nothing can take that from you. Remember to show respect to others and don’t forget about you.  ????

  • Boundaries

    Man reading poetry titled Boundaries

    (Poem) “Boundaries”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem (Boundaries) is we have slowly lost our ability to say no to things that don’t feel right. We allow this system to villainize our helpers and leaders by dividing us from good counsel all to poison our subconscious mind.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Being too nice has ruined everything.
    Let’s take a look back at the whole scene.
    Everyone is gay since the delusion of the LGBTQ queens. Why did inclusion have to mean exclusion of the way God made queens…
    Black people are in a daze since the fall of leaders like  Martin Luther King.. His methods of love and knowing how to fight caused change to intervene..
    Martin knew that his enemies were not white, but the system causing friction in between… Now that I know better, I stand beside Martin in,  I had a dream.
    At one point I blamed the man for trying until I learned that he led a great revolution giving me the power  to be considered a human being…
    He knew all along that the tending of segregation was a part of a bigger scheme. To control the black mind by stealing our self-esteem.  Trying to lead his people is why he took one for the team.
    He kindly demanded equal rights showing us how to fight a wicked system and stay lean.
    This was never  about the everyday man, black or white.
    The government stealing our boundaries is the part that really stings.
    You can respect another human and still say no to certain ways that they bring.
    The only thing deaf ears can hear is grace, forgiveness, and is the money green?
    Let’s not forget about blood clots and how saving humanity required taking vaccines.
    Let’s just admit that being too nice gave passive aggressive his wings.
    As long as they say it nice,
    they could pretend that it wasn’t meant to be mean.
    The manual on how to be nice turned humans into robotic machines.
    I don’t know about you, but I’m tapping out of the fake smiles ring.
    Everyone was more loving when keeping it real was a thing.
    I can’t pretend anymore that this is not what it seems.

  • What Is My Why?

    white clouds wallpaper

      As I sit back and think, I ask myself why? Why does poetry interest me? What inspired me to want to share it with the world? What is it all about to be a good person? Or is the term “good person” just a toxic term? I think everyone has a different definition of what a good person is. When I really think deeply about it.

    I have only heard people say “wow that’s a really good person” when a person is agreeing with them or serving them in some type of way. Friends that are considered the one that keeps it real are slowly going astray. They are considered the judgmental friend that makes others uncomfortable. Those types of friends will give you advice that sticks. Sometimes life long lessons that help you get through life; but most people just want to be told that they are always right. The best advice that I was ever given in life was “don’t nobody owe you nothing.”

    This advice allowed me to be accountable for myself. So, why do I write poetry? The simple answer is poetry just dropped into my world and into my heart. I can ask myself a million reasons why? While still not knowing at times. I still persist in asking. I still persist in learning about the world we live in. Right now I ask myself, “Why is there a large dog walking through my backyard?” Lol, seriously I am scared of that dog, he’s a mean one. Then I say why do you want to end a conversation with talking about a dog? Hmm, there’s always a million reasons why.  

  • Backwards 🌎

    (Poem) “Backwards 🌎”

    The Inspiration for this poem is how backwards 🌎 society has become. Society has changed drastically in the past century. -Author Urban Poems-

    As my thoughts troll within my head.. I can’t help but wonder what kind of future lyes ahead.. With dying eyes all around me.. I ponder on how long until all of our souls are dead.. As I stroll through my phone I see the world is full of dread. While google gives suggestions based off the things I read or even the things I said.. I’ve never seen a compass or never used a map.. I’m dependant on Google to lead the road I choose to thread.. With no caution on eating fake bread.. And no knowledge on growing food to be fed.. I can say we’re all handicapped and broken vessels that can only see red.. With no private thoughts.. We’re monitored by secret service feds .We must ask ourselves.. Did we all take the chip? Are we even human? Did we make our own beds? Did we make our own souls shed? Father we need you now.. Please cleanse the many cuts that bled.

  • I Love You

    poetry titled I Love You

    (Poem) “I Love You”

    The inspiration for this poem (I Love You) was to motivate someone that I love dearly. -Author Urban Poems-

    Saying I love you is something I never do, but it is long overdue.
    I would say be strong, but I only require you to hold on, for you, and for me.
    It’s okay if you fall to your knees.. like we all do.
    As long as you find your keys and don’t get caught up in the trees.
    Just follow the breeze.. back to peace.
    Don’t get broken by the fees.
    Don’t you listen to the bees designed to steal your ease.
    It’s something God wants you to see, to make your demons flee.
    What could that one thing be?
    Happiness is a mood that we’re accustomed to, but it doesn’t make sadness untrue.
    We need sadness to help us steer our view.
    Acceptance is the clue, to find out what’s true, to help you find your cue.
    Don’t give up when feeling blue, because you always make it through.
    Always remember, I love you times two.

  • I Won

    poetry titled I Won

    (Poem) “I Won”

    This poem (I Won) was inspired by a stressful week. Moreover, I decided to remotivate myself by knowing that there are better days ahead. -Author Urban Poems-

    It all feels hopeless.. My days are full of stress..  Making me feel tired, like I can only do less… Like I can’t get dressed. I’m helpless.. At the same time I’m blessed.. Begging God for a little rest… Knowing what I know.. I keep doing what’s best.. Not knowing what’s next.. Determined to past this test.. Hoping It’ah all be over soon. The rope is getting thinner, I’m trying to hold on until noon. How much more can I consume? I have no Idea..  but I won’t give in-to-doom.

    Yah you are my love bug, the most powerful one that
    gives laughs and hugs, drying my tears and blessing
    me with many years, answering my prayers and being the
    one to give me cheers. I thank you for giving me healthy
    fears with your wisdom I now know when to look for deers.
    You showed me how to be still and chill and when to be
    a warrior ready if I have to kill. You made me independent
    and showed me how to till and grow my own fruit and veggies
    for a meal. And you always kept it real and told
    me what’s the drill. If I desire to live I will follow your
    perfect ways and never cave. You are the the only one who
    cared to save me from my old days and wrapped me in your arms
    told me I could stay. When I’m feeling drained you rub my
    back and tell me it’s okay. You put me in the game and made
    my enemies forget their play. You taught me when to pray.
    What more can I say? I’ll love you always.

No more gasoline, I refuse to be your trampoline. I’m tired, I refuse to be the place you lean. Preventing me from feeling clean. Got my mind cluttered.. with all the words you uttered.. You made my words stutter… Had me climbing out the gutter… What’s done is done. If it makes you feel better, you won. Now I walk, not run.. while looking towards the sun.. Looking forward to a new dawn.

    Life is soo busy, Things are never ending, It can feel kinda dizzy
    Some days I just quit, and I sit, and focus on my hobbies, you know, that kinda shit.
    It feels lit, until the memories of the dishes hit, I go for a walk, forcing a little time
    to stay fit; while the street lights are still lit. Wondering if I have limes or did I forget.
    But it’s a two edged sword… because without chores; I’d be bored. At least Staying busy brings
    rewards, like clean floors and open doors, to hallways to bigger doors. Hard work has a
    harvest, so if it’s worth it, I work the hardest,even if I’m not the smartest… because endurance
    reaches targets. Keep your eyes fixed, don’t get caught up in the mix, as long as you don’t quit, or
    or get too lit, you’ll benefit.

  • Enemies Clear

    Love Poetry titled Clear Enemies

    (Poem) “Clear Enemies”

    The inspiration for this poem (Clear Enemies) is the traits of frenemies. -Author Urban Poems-

    Your enemies become real clear,
    when you’re down bad they got a ready ear,
    but your accomplishments they always hate to hear,
    and the laughs become real insincere,
    when your life prospers you can smell their fear,
    and their jealousy could make you shed a tear,
    It’s so sad because you used to keep them near,
    by their side you never ceased to cheer,
    when it feels like they wanna to domineer,
    like they trying to knock you out of your gear,
    then it’s time to leave those crabs in the rear.
    That’s the only way you learn to persevere.

    Clear Enemies revised version. ⬇️

    What’s an enemy to you? It doesn’t matter the point of view.
    An enemy remains the same because their games never change.
    You asked me. What makes a enemy clear? When you’re down bad they got a ready ear, but
    your accomplishments they always hate to hear, and the laughs become
    real insincere. Friends are filled with hate at a real high rate, sometimes it’s
    even yo mate. Determined to destroy yo fate… Next time you prosper pay attention to
    their fear. Their jealousy could make you shed a tear. It’s so sad
    because you used to keep them near. When by their side you never ceased to cheer.
    In everything they try to domineer. Like they tryna knock you out of your gear.
    That’s when it’s time to leave those crabs in the rear.
    That’s the only way you learn to persevere.

    He was only 17 sexing a crack fein he never really had much of a self-esteem. He didn’t see his value so he had no values. So it didn’t really matter that she had no virtues. His worth was in between the legs a lady; It didn’t really matter that she kinda shady. When he was just a boy he was taught that lust was cool. So it became a must that he slept with all the girls at school. The love was never true so any hole would due. It never fulfilled his thirst because he put his manhood first. So his self esteem got worse. His worth became his semen because his lust was his demon. He asked God for a mate but God showed him his fate. So he called off all his dates. He felt a lot of wrath when he saw his future path. He learned to pray to God and let God have all his tears. He asked god for better years a life with no more fears. After all the many years he put his old life in the rears…he could finally see things clearer the new man in the mirror.

You say it doesn’t even matter because we all the same people, yeah I call it sheeple. They say they don’t see color, as long as you don’t mention your brother who was shot by undercovers. I say with the pill I took life seems real. I suddenly like nappy hair and I  scream it to the air. Yeah I took that dare… I can now see a fake smile and your urge to make me frown… Why you wanna see me down… You said your life’s all good so why you wanna take my crown… You say the pill you took gives you worldly things.. Like money and golden rings.. But it doesn’t gives spiritual things. So it just feels like a fling with nothing real to bring.  But blue is your favorite color and it matches all the others so you chose the cool pill… it was the thing to do pill. No one wanted the red pill except for those that were taunted while you flaunted. You asked why I chose it since all the others opposed it. I say it just felt right, it helped me skip that plight. So It made me content inside. I think I chose the right side. I think I like this ride. Red pill blue pill. Try not to take the cruise pill.

There’s a new mission to focus on competition, to destroy our intuition, but it’s just a bunch of fiction. Fake lives and deep lies with zombie minds. I heard we the walking dead spreading lies, saying the same thing that he said. Manipulating, with the same words that he read. I wonder if they mailed that script to everybody.. or is lying just your favorite hobby. I watched you turn into a zombie from a beautiful work of art, man that broke my heart.

    The inspiration for this poem (Forced Meditation) is the push through television, social media, and society that constantly shows the black community in a certain light to make us believe it. -Author Urban Poems-

    It’s time you take a stand, you’ve been hindered from being a man, your destination has been planned since birth.. You never seen a man like you have worth.. Your daddy’s gone you never seen him home… Momma’s feet are aching, but she never thought of flaking. She said she said leave my baby alone. Her guilt made her place you up on Trone. With mom rubbing your feet it made you wanna sleep but the only problem was there was no food to eat. Men use to be strong until master did them wrong.. Before they had a choice they left their families by force. So you see, a black man having a family, that’s just a fantasy. According to the tv thats just a white man’s thing and the next commercial shows your kind just chilling with a fling, with all the drama to bring. I mean it’s a trauma thing. The only hope u got is a Nba ring, I mean at least that’s what you heard. You could never be a nerd. Because the media says you should try rapping a couple words. So now you change your name to baby, o no Lil baby, I mean da baby, or should I say a baby. Don’t you get it you’ve been trained to be a baby depending on your lady, maybe not financially but you abandoned family so  you left them frantically. I heard slavery was dead but you a slave in your head. Scientists studied your dreads and all the books that you read. That’s how they got up in your head. So you already dead when you let them in your bed. You’ve already been bought.  Your ancestors paid the price back when they were fought. Now they control your thoughts. Cover your ears watch everything you hear. Control your mentality to change your reality. Don’t believe them when they tell you it’s just a song because where we’re from that’s how you end up hung.
