Stress Survival

Through each task that is faced, clouds create character as well as rain
When it rains, it pours so when it goes wrong, it can nearly defeat you
All can appear to be lost, but at that moment, your true self can be found
Conquer defeat with a dedication to perseverance
The fit survive in this world of the survival of the focused
Don’t let success create a new you, but rather enhance the positive persevered for your progress
In the same light, don’t let present failure outshine previous accomplishment and future potential
Never let the momentum shift of a situation alter your path greatly
Success taken in stride, failure met by a strive for reconstruction
Losses never equal an end
Just beyond every frown, a smile works to develop
Believe in inner capabilities to enhance outer presentation

The struggles of the here and now only make for greater future celebrations
Too often we become mired in our struggles during our steps towards achieving what we want in this world. We can’t get caught up in the progress of others because unlike bullets, blessings do have a name. Goals should be set to drive your path but not restrict it. In due time, all that is meant for you will be revealed from diligent patience and execution. Stressing creates unbearable pressure on a situation. However, the struggles within the life of a warrior makes their success story that much more interesting.

Troubled Truth

Just wanted to spare your feelings
The only reason they could come up with for their lies and infidelity
Lies to those around them because of dissatisfaction with whom they’ve become
No sense of ownership for personal actions and behaviors
Life guided by “by any means” motives
But the influence of Malcolm X has been lost
His by any means meant not taking “No” for an answer and working diligently towards a greater goal
Now lying and cheating are the only means by which most want to make it
Making it as a lie means that the true you can never be loved and appreciated
God knows that these created figures can never match the hand crafted, genuine individuals they once were
Lives established for Twitter and Facebook destroy initial characteristics and create characters that self can’t even recognize
Reality is no longer recognized either who individuals seek to be is placed higher than who they are
All parts of person are needed for success: past, present, future
Each of these ingredients towards making the best you
Rather than destroying yourself as you create a “You” for “Them”
Those on the outside creating truths for what your life is cannot be trusted or even honored
Don’t get lost in the world of false truths for instant gratification
No matter the image that you put on for the outside, you always have to live with your inner portion
May be able to convince millions a lie but a million times out of a million, you cannot lie to yourself
Much more energy is spent in making a lie rather than holding on to the truth
Troubled truth, just as a half truth, is a whole lie
So be confident in what you have and who you are and truthfully trust that trouble doesn’t last always and that

Drive All Night

She asked “what keeps you awake all night? You never sleep”
All I could think about was everything that kept me going through the day
Thoughts race as the hours speed past on a seemingly broken clock
Broken in the sense that all control has been lost
Moments of freedom when the sun sets are filled with thoughts of creating a better sunrise
Laying restless on top of covers, tangled up with thoughts of the struggles and successes of the day
Muddled down by thoughts of what could have been, should have been, and currently needs to be
During the day, mind is able to focus on conquering tasks at hand
But the idle mind at night that is biblically the devil’s playground
Shifts to all that we try to avoid, cannot fathom, and refuse to work with
As with any situation, there are positive and negative streets to move on
So restless thoughts are combated with work
Procrastination is perfectly executed as best effort arises as due dates approach
Most effective feelings are expressed as thoughts are open and unrestricted
Driving towards and overcoming new obstacles seems much more attainable as one enhances self faith
So as the thoughts race as the hours of the day move towards a new day
Free your mind of worry and practice positively believing that the sunlight following the darkness
Makes driving through pain a worthwhile trip
So what keeps me up at night?
The feeling that I’m always one move away from making it all right

Touch

He tapped her arm lightly as he passed and winked
100s of men had attempted to grab her attention but it was something about his sensation on her body
So she followed
His cologne, chain, clothes, and condoms guided her from a good night out with the girls
To an evening of them intertwining and touching one other’s deepest depths
As their union rampaged the sheets, the pages in her diary of hurt and deception
Were now touched by a new sense of love, affection, and service
But other than the bedroom, their committal to one another never reached equality
Her nose was wide open and took each breath of seduction, lust, and treachery
While her broken heart confused her mind and accepted this as love, affinity, and tremendous care
Every time she popped it and looked back she thought it was real
While his touch was the same with the 100s of women he tapped lightly and winked towards
She refused to let her friends touch the sanctity of their relationship, blocked their comments, advice, and warnings
Because for the first time in a long time….her soul was touched
But as with all uneven situations, the tables turned
With the realization that her love for love was greater than her confusion with his compassion
She moved on
And vowed to never let another man only touch her Pandora’s Box
But must require the key of true love, affinity, dedication, concern, and pleasure
To unlock her tremendous touch
