I am only Human,
Yes, things can go wrong,
Yes, I do get frustrated, but
I try to be strong.
When things don't go right,
Yes, I do get really mad,
It makes me feel really sad,
It makes me feel
irritated, aggravated
The situation can be bad.
But that's Okay because
We have all been there,
When you gave it your All and
now you just don't care.
If it doesn't work out,
there's always a solution
To figure it out and
bring it to a Resolution
When you've tried
everything and you just
don't understand if it doesn't
work out
just remember:

I AM ONLY HUMAN

(Overcoming Obstacles and Personal Growth)



In the SHADOW  OF THESE GIANTS,
I will CONTINUE to STAND my GROUND,
I REFUSE to let these BARRIERS,
BRING me on DOWN.

I have TRAVELED a LONG, LONG JOURNEY,
I have come VERY, VERY FAR,
I REFUSE TO TURN AWAY,
Even with CUTS, BRUISES and SCARS.

I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR,
I have had MANY, MANY FIGHTS,
But, I STILL CONTINUED to STAND FIRM,
AND CONQUER THEM WITH ALL of  MY MIGHT!!!

Even with these OBSTACLES and BARRIERS,
I REFUSE to TURN AROUND and RETREAT,
Now, THESE GIANTS MAY be my DOWNFALL,
But, THESE GIANTS I WILL DEFEAT!!!!

Things of Yesterday
are gone like
Whispers in the Wind,
carrying them away,
To never see the Light of Day,
To be Blinded by the Dark of Night,
To never see the Sun Shine Bright,
The Whispers of Yesterday,
Have fluttered away, and gone astray,
The voices that were heard,
The speaking of soft words,
You barely hear them,
Just under a breath,
Upon a Whimper,
is where they rest.
Whispers of Yesterday,
Are all now gone,
Now, Turning soft whipsers
into a sad Love Song!!!

In my heart God knows
He Leads me down another direction
His Angels guard me with protection
For this I know This is just a Lesson
I Thank God for the
Unanswered Calls
All my uprisings and my downfalls
I Thank God for the Yays and the Nays
For I'm Looking Forward for my Better Days
I Thank God for the Let downs
He was Always there and will Always be Around
I Thank God for the Good and the Bad
I Thank Good for the Happy and Sad
I Thank God for the Closed Doors
I Thank God for what He has has Store!!

Some people not All,
have very bad behavior
It Encourages others
to have misbehavior

Some people carry a
Negative Demeanor
To the point Positive
people are influenced
to become meaner

This is a intuition but
more like a Hunch
That one Bad Apple
Spoils the whole Bunch

It simply refers to someone
who creates problems,
Get rid of that Rotten Apple
And that will solve them

Remember these words
and take it to Mind
Those Rotton old Apples
aren't so very kind

Beware of Rotten Apples
just trust your Hunch That
One Rotten Apple
will Spoil the Whole Bunch

So, QUIET that

HEAR A PIN DROP,
The CALMNESS is SO EERIE,
it could make your
HEART STOP,
or even SKIP A BEAT,
the SOUND of
MICE SCURRYING,
along the

as you step and
the FLOOR CREAKS,
realizing that THE WOOD
floor PANEL IS WEAK,
The STILL of
the DARK in a
SILENT ROOM,
Where the only LIGHT
you have BEAMS
down from the MOON,
through your

The MOON ILLUMINATES
just so much
LIGHT,
ENABLING you could SEE,
As it SHINES THROUGH

The memories have Faded,

It's like walking on PINS and NEEDLES,
which is very, very HARD to ENDURE,
While going through TRYING TIMES, and HARDSHIPS,
Looking for HOPE but just NOT TOO SURE.


When LIFE is GIVING you LEMONs or
You are just HANGING on by a THREAD,
or looking for a SCAPEGOAT or,
MAYBE IT ALL IN YOUR HEAD.


Whenever there is a PROBLEM,  
an ISSUE or NO RESOLUTION,
JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER:
THOUGH IT ALL!!!
There will always be a SOLUTION!!!


When Your NERVES are on the EDGE, and
YOU'RE COMPLETELY LOOSING CONTROL,
Your MIND is GOING SIDEWAYS,
As if you have NO PLACE ELSE TO GO,
When your NERVES are GETTING THE BEST of YOU, and
THOUGHTS are going TO and FRO.


Just TAKE in a FEW DEEP BREATHS L,
A give a STERN GLANCE,
LET GO of your FRUSTRATIONS and
Here comes your BIG CHANCE,


To LET GO OF the NERVES and
the TENSION,
For, this FEELING IT WILL NOT LAST,
IT WILL SUBSIDE and then GO AWAY, and
Your ANXIETY will be in the PAST!!!!

(Silly writing sense of humor)
If there were some kind of conflict between all the Holidays!! This is how it would be!!
(I apologize for it being so long!!!)



Christmas was Robbed!!
Leprechaun stoled Christmas!!
but Not the grinch "NO!!"
but the Leprechaun!! "YES!!"

Cos, the grinch stoled his gold,
He was uncanny, evil, bold.
It does seem kinda odd that
Kris Kringle just got Robbed.

The Easter Bunny got
Robbed from Cupid but
come on now that's really stupid.
Cupid took over Easter, so in revenge,

The Easter bunny took Valentines and
brought it to an end!!
The Easter Bunny thought he and
Cupid were Friends
Because, to the Easter Bunny,
he thought the
Friendship would mend!!

Once again, the Leprechaun had
gotten Robbed "Thrice!!!"
From our American Uncle
and that wasn't very nice.

Uncle Sam stoled his taxes,
his gold and Color green
now, that was wrong and
was downright mean.

Instead of Red, White and blue,
He saw the color green and
I mean like literally!!!

So, to get him back because
that wasn't cool,
month April stoled 3 colors
the Red, White and Blue,
Just to get him back and
to make him the April Fool.

Halloween stoled Thanksgiving and
the Turkey away
And told him:
you'll never see
A Day of Giving or your Turkey
Again!!

A Day of Giving was calm and
said that's alright!!
I have no beef with you,
you have one frightful night.
people are
Thankful like Everyday!!!
celebrating Thanksgiving
which falls on Thursday.

So, go away now because
you're such a fright,
Give back my Turkey and Thanksgiving
and to you have a Scary Fright!!!
On your one and only Night!!!
As you can see and
Holidays not mentioned,
they  also agree!!

When your Heart is broken, and
The Words within are unspoken,
When you are Hurting inside,
Is when your emotions have awokened,

When you don't know what to say,
As your skies have turned to gray,
When you are used to bright sunshine,
To brighten up your Sunny day,

When a time you were so Happy,
With a big smile on your face,
Now, you're feeling so down and out,
For, your smile has been erased,

When you would stop and smell the roses,
and Dance around with grace,
Now, you feel so cold and lonely,
Oh, the feeling of disgrace,

When heartbroken you try to cope,
with the feelings build up inside,
Even through this time, there is Hope,
Strength and Courage will be your Guide!!

VANQUISH, DEMOLISH and
GO FAR AWAY,
MY WORRIES, MY TROUBLES
will not see
the LIGHT OF DAY!!!!
ABRACADABRA
I VANQUISH
You
NOW!!!
THE NEGATIVE
DISSIPATES and
From this
I SMILE!!!!!

When a POET DIES,
There WORDS LIVE ON,
They KEEP US ENCOURAGED,
MOTIVATED and STRONG
There WORDS DO INSPIRE,
To LIFTING us HIGHER,
When your DOWN AND OUT,
THEY MAKE YOUR DAY BRIGHTER,
A PEP IN YOUR STEP,
you FEEL MUCH MORE LIGHTER,
When a POET DIES,
There WORDS they will STAY,
THEY'LL CONTINUE to INSPIRE US
to this VERY DAY!!!!

To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
Shall I write poetry or not write poetry? That is the question
Shall I recite poetry or not recite poetry that is a suggestion
Shall I study poetry or not study poetry that is an observation
Can I be loved or not be loved
that is the affection
Can I deal with life or not deal with life
that is called Life's Lessons
Can I share my feelings or not share my feelings they would be my Expressions
Shall I acknowledge or not acknowledge
These are my confessions.
If I will, if I won't, if I can, if I don't
If I must, I will try
to continue as I write.
To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
I would say yes
If I was asked to do so,
I would do it as a
Profession

When you
FROM THE HOOD,
LIVING in a
RUNNED DOWN,
RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
When your CHURCH, your SCHOOL,
your BEAUTY SALON,
BARBER SHOP and
the LIQUOR STORE,
is only WITHIN
WALKING DISTANCE,
When the ICE CREAM
TRUCK RUNS during the DAY, and
LATE AT NIGHT!!
WHEN KIDS ARE ON
BIKES, SCOOTERS,
SKATEBOARDS and SKATES,
WHEN YOU BETTER
HURRY HOME QUICK,
the STREET LIGHTS will come ON,
HURRYING HOME BECAUSE IT'S LATE,
When it's a SCHOOL NIGHT,
and YOU have to BE IN BED by 8,
DO YOUR HOMEWORK and
MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT,
not long after HAVING DINNER,
then it's LIGHTS OUT GOODNIGHT,
Back in the Day,
MY PARENTS DROVE A CADILLAC,
An OLDSMOBILE REGENCY,
Now What ya'll think of THAT???
IN THE HOOD,
WHEN YOU GOT IN TROUBLE IN SCHOOL, and your GRADES WERE BAD,
When you had SCHOOL FRIENDS, and
ALL OF THE FUN THAT YOU GUYS HAD,
GIRLS PLAYED DOUBLE DUTCH,
THE BOYS PLAYED BALL,
PICKLES and KOOL-AID
was the best, IF I RECALL,
CHIPS and SODA,
NOW-N-LATERS,
THE TIMES WERE LAID BACK, AND
LIFE WAS GREATER,
LEMON HEADS,
BOSTON BAKED BEANS,
MR. MELON,
CHERRY CLAN, and
JOHNNY APPLESEEDS,
THESE ARE MY FONDESS
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!!!,
IN THE HOOD, you weren't
SUPPOSED TO SQUEAL, because
SNITCHES GET STITCHES, and
that's on the REAL, REAL!!!
Back in the back day,
things weren't too bad,
IT'S 2025
NOW, THINGS ARE JUST SAD,
OH, IF I COULD JUST JUMP
in a TIME MACHINE,
and REVISIT and TALK to the
OLD YOUNGER ME, and
tell her about THESE PRESENT TIMES,
  I GUARANTEE YOU, IT WILL BLOW HER MIND, and
I WILL give her
WISDOM and INSPIRATION,
INSPIRE TO KEEP GOING, and have MOTIVATION,
I just WISH I CAN, and
I WISH I COULD,
as I recollect my youth of,
LIVING IN THE HOOD!!!
