Writing Prompt: Three Wishes
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?
I’ll keep it simple. This is not something I have to think about much.
To want what God wants.
To trust and love Him wholeheartedly.
To be obedient to His word.
Bonus: To know His word completely and to live holy, modest, and pleasing before Him daily.

Drug Paved Streets
Ghetto streets paved with drugs and guns,
Funded by the same government
Who kills off our young boys and men
or puts them in jail then throws away the key
Money makes the world go round
Guns can’t shoot themselves
Your government is the real criminals
Arrest them
Destruction
Perfectly placed in those neighborhoods
To destroy the people, the youths
They don’t have a future; they live and die
By…

Happy Juice
Negativity has no room or space in my home.
I don’t have time for that loose cannon.
I can’t deal with the roller-coaster mood swings
The constant bickering and barking over simple matters.
I’m good.
No drama over here.

A Tree Within Me
There’s a tree growing within me,
a hopeful fire burning within me,
a well of water running deep within me,
a courageous love fueling me,
success is my story
fear has no place here,
it has a bitter taste I hate,
a lie that should have never been believed,
It is a prison with minimal access
and I will not be silenced

Walk Away
Walk away
from anyone or anything
that doesn’t make you happy
Period!
No explanation needed
Sometimes it only makes matters worst
when you ask for someone else’s opinion
especially if they’ve never been in your shoes

The Result of Being Nice
I’ve tried to be the one
who everyone can turn to
The problem is, I always get hurt
in the process of being nice
always giving a helping hand
though I’m not looking for anything in return
Others can count on me
but I can’t count on anyone
In my time of need,
there’s no one to rescue me
its time I learn my lesson
saying no ain’t a bad thing

Mother Won’t Soon Forget
Abortion
the thought never crossed
her mind until she became pregnant
at what seemed like…
the wrong time in her life.
Abortion
became the centerpiece of her existence
the moment she realized it was a choice
in her haste to get rid of “it”
she chose to end the life of
that precious baby that’s part of her
but at that moment, it seemed right
that’s her justification
in her haste to get rid of…

Anger Is Misery
To feed off anger is a miserable place to be,
this poison eats away every ounce of happiness
It is the destroyer
of all things good
Once that emotion has been unleashed,
it is hell to pay (and more)
nothing will ever seem right
be careful with your words
watch your actions and reactions

A Pet Peeve
People always tell me to “smile.”
Wow. Really.
Do you really think
I need permission to show happiness?
Is a smile a true sign of happiness?
I know so many sad people with smiles on their faces

Don't Worry (About Worrying)
Don’t Worry (About Worrying)
It’s easier to worry than to
trust that everything will be alright
It’s safer to think of the worst-case scenarios first
than to see things in a positive light
But worrying doesn’t solve a thing,
it causes frustration, headaches, anxiety, depression,
and a long list of negative reactions
stress kills
that’s the only outcome of worrying

When You Wish
when you wish,
only wish good things for those
who’s treated you wrong
don’t wish
ill will on anyone,
no matter what,
the battle is not yours

Victory is Mine
Gotta stay pumped up
Have to take action; gotta do my part
Gotta step out in faith
I can’t let this fear thing get in my way
I can’t let that thing win now
no, sir
this time around
Victory is mine
I claim victory in Jesus’ name

Be Kind
Everyone has their time
of the year, month, week, or day
when their self-confidence suffers
they struggle
with self-acceptance,
they become
their biggest enemies
in limbo,
they can only watch
helplessly as their self-image falls apart,
they need some reassurance
just a kind word or two
might be enough
to tape back up their appearance.

Happy 9th Birthday
Today is a great day to turn 9 years old
Just yesterday, it seems
I was in the hospital delivering you.
I’ve been celebrating your birth every day,
not just today.
You are my firstborn
and still my baby in my eyes.
You are special
Love you, son, with all of my heart.

Time Alone
My Reality
I just stay to myself,
less is better
I find that spending time alone is a good thing
I don’t have to fuss or fight with anyone anymore,
it’s just peaceful and quiet
no more mazes and manipulation
I don’t want to get caught up
in anyone else’s twisted mind games
