Meditation contemplation
I really don’t have time for conversations
God made this promise to me
So, I’m in a season of preparation.
My discernment says to watch who you hang with
Cause everybody is not serious about elevation
It’s not about IF but more about WHEN
God promised me a win
That’s why I’m doing soul-searching within
I want to see heights I’ve never seen before
Reach pinnacles I’ve never reached before
But that means
I gotta do some things I’ve never done before
I close my eyes and manifest because I know
There has to be more
Then what I’ve seen
And what people around me have accepted
I refuse to be 90 years old
looking back on a life I regretted
If it’s tangible, I’m gonna get it
If it’s spiritual, I know my savior has already left it.
You see, it’s all about your perception
Every day I’m reflecting
Even through transgressions
I got a vision of my life and where I’m headed

CHEYLIZEAN UNRELEASED #1
As your eyes adjust to the darkness
In a world where my love is heartless
Where pain only enhances the sharpness
And no pleasure only bricks up the hardness
Watching you swing without my harness
To me, your risk of injury is harmless
Cause I never even wanted to start shit
But sometimes holding on hurts worse than letting the rope slip
And there’s no bowing out gracefully to those who expect you to quit
So I was just through with it, nothing else to do with it
I’m not afraid to wear a shoe
If I do fit it
But if the size don’t fit
Then your lies won’t fit
Then it becomes less easy to admit
That our time just went
I stopped finding reason to defend the nights you were violent
That’s why you have trouble looking me in the eye and shit
But I’m fine with it
Even though I gave my last dimes for all the time I spent
I don’t gotta hide from shit
It’s obvious when a creature is colorful it doesn’t need to hide from shit
To survive for shit
Cause a stand out with no hand out is never provided shit
I’m shocked I let my pretty mouth sail in tides like this
Now I spit out the manure and remind myself what I was chewing shit for
For every night I told God I did not want to do this anymore
I had to learn detachment so I could close all those doors
It lead me down the right path too
That’s why I saw all those 4’s
If you don’t do it for yourself, what are you doing it for?

Eternal Rose
A moment frozen in time Put those emotions on ice Feels nice The color stays The memory never fades Your beauty represented in the petals You hold a part of my heart in your hand Forever and ever Remember me Or do you wish to forget me? I suppose I will never know The image reflected in your eyes When you see it, do you cry? I swear it wasn't a lie Doesn't matter now Goodbye

Reposted from @_lyneezy Kept it very brief today. Sad we have to keep making this point. But here we are. Sidenote** I know ya'll want to listen to Aaliyah's music, but get them youtube playlists popping and visit ebay and find a cd and a cd player if you don't still have one. Stop paying Barry Hankerson. #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #blackgirls #love #instagood #aaliyah #beautiful #blackpoetsmatter #blackwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/CTWdQIdg6-7/?utm_medium=tumblr

How can I show you who I am when I unmask all my pain and all my demons masquerade in the depths of my curves and thighs?
Who will I be without the filter to separate all the lies?
So who will you call when you come to me and all the strength in my tongue subsides?
What am I worth without darkness to hide behind?
Who will I look upon when I can’t even slip through the crevices of my own forsaken mind?
Where will you stand when my darkness no longer chooses to hide, yet embrace the race to my demise?
— Who Am I? (Written by @theluciddragonfly)

i used to like you, that’s crazy.
i thought i wanted you, maybe.
i knew i loved you, premonitions- past life ?
too good for me? it’s possible
too good for you? impossible
any sliver of HOPE? on life support.

Sometimes I let the water in the shower rinse my pain
Sometimes I let the wind blowing and birds tweeting cradle me to sleep
Sometimes I let the loneliness and absence of light comfort me
Sometimes I let the stares of disgust acknowledge my existence
Sometimes I let the negative thoughts keep me company
Sometimes I let other peoples views take centre stage
Sometimes I sit around thinking of ways to exit
Sometimes I wonder whether I am just another statistic
Sometimes I grip hope knowing it's pointless
Sometimes I type exactly how I'm presently feeling

I’ve seen how addiction works,
I never want to experience it again.
I never truly ever thought that we would be any thing more than friends
I thought I knew my limits with you, but I seem to have over did it...
I had more than my tolerance would permit and it became too hard to quit it...
Every day things became harder to focus on as I grew to love you too much...
Then the thing that was supposed to just keep me grounded, suddenly became a crutch.
You knew you were my greatest weakness so I understand why you decided to leave
So I could finally learn to focus on the only thing that truly mattered and love a little more of me....

Today
“What are you waiting for”
is a question that’s been tormenting me as of late
Cuz I’ve always been waiting
But I’ve been unclear on the what, or even the why
The when is always changing
From “next week”
To “next year”
To the recurring, excited bursts of “today!!”
Which then becomes last week
Then last year
Then never mind
“Extensive yet unfulfilled” can be used to describe more than my notes section
It can be used to describe the many ideas and ambitions which undoubtedly grow tired of a lifetime confined to my mind
When they just want to live
It can be used to describe my 27 years on this earth
Which have been largely unremarkable
Spent devotedly waiting for a what and a when that’ll likely never come
I’m tired of waiting, and I just want to live
Well I let me live?
