Square up.

It's not going to be easy.

It's not going to be pleasant.

It's going to be painful.

It's definitely going to hurt.

You can't be afraid.

You can run away from.

Stare it down.

Prepare to defend your self.

Knuckle up.

Get ready ready for some pain.

After you get knock down get right back.

Counter strike for every blow your delt.

Don't back down.

Don't give up.

You have what it takes to win. 

You are a champion.

Stay focused on the battle.

Lick your wounds later.

No matter how many times you get thrown out of the ring get back in.

Don't throw in the towel not matter how messy it gets.

No matter how badly it goes keep your guard up and prepare to  deliver that knock out blow.

Surrender

Your worrying about things that haven't even happens yet. 

Yes, it could go wrong but it could also go right.

Trust the process.

The battle is indeed adjoined but it is not your fight.

Let the universe work it out.

Stop stressing over situations that you can not control.

Take a deep breath and let it all go.

Elemental

 

Step outside of the box.

Color outside of the lines.

Take a chance.

Try it.

Freedom is completely organic.

Free your mind.

Unshackle your bonds.

Unlearn what you've learned.

See life through a new set eyes.

When you take some time to slow down and smell the roses you'll appreciate the sunrise.

Polysemy

Seeing isn't always believing.

Repeating things repetitiously isn't always truth.

The way something starts out isn't necessarily the beginning.

A door closing does not always mean that an ending is absolute.

Putting things into definiteve terms does not always yield a definitive definition.

 Forage ahead boldly.

Find your own truth.

Dry hate

Their only reason for existing is to take the wind out of your sails.

They take delight in your discomfort.

They love seeing you fail.

They know exactly what your capable of and don't like it.

They  smile and praise you to your face.

Then plot treason behind your back.

If your plans ever got briefly derailed it's because they sabotaged the track.

Their laughs conceal lies.

Their well wishes are hollow.

Their handshakes say friend.

Their contempt says I hope something bad happens to you tomorrow.

They constantly betray with out an ounce of sorrow.

Kindly

 

You can always catch more flies with honey.

Try some kinds words and a  friendly smile every once in while.

 Kindness will  help mellow some one with a bitter disposition.

Sometimes the best way to deal with them is to just smile and listen.

It may be tempting to entertain and engage in their rage but try a some kindness.

Try some kindness the next time someone tries to take wind out of your sails.

Try some kindness when all other options have failed.

It may not be effective all time.

In some situations it may not work.

Kindness may not help every single thing but it definitely never hurts.

Try to be kind.

Bye

 

That closed shut.

Accept what is.

They keep telling you and telling you. They keep on showing you and showing over and over again.

This isn't anything new coming from them. 

You just saw what you wanted to see. 

They keep trying to exit from your life but you refuse to let them leave.

Let them leave.

No matter how much you pray and no matter how much you hope they will never change.

The was never authentic.

They dealt with you on their own time.

The writing has always been on the wall but couldn't see it because you were blind. 

Now that that you have seen them in their true light what will it be? 

You need to dwell any longer.

The knew the answer a long time ago.

If want to exit from your life don't fight....

LET THEM GO!

Toxic

 I want to get closer but I have to fall back.

I can't be too close to you.

I can't make full contact.

You throw me out of alignment.

When ever I'm near you the energy is never quite right.

My nevers become a quiver.

My neck hairs stand on end.

The words you speak fills me with saddens.

No judgement on how you choose to carry yourself.

That's just who you are.

It might actually be me that requires the help.

Never the less I must preserve myself.

I must keep my calm and maintain my focus at all cost.

If I continue  to keep being around you I will be completely lost.

I love you and believe me this hurts but I must choose me first.

Figure it out

 

Take a deep breath.

Don't stress.

You have plenty of time.

Play it out in your mind one step at time.

Remove all your anxiety.

Quite all your doubt.

You have the help and resources you need.

You can and will figure it out.

Charmers.

All smiles aren't friendly.

Every one in your circle isn't who they claim to be.

 Be more selective of who you choose to share things with.

Some people that claim they love secretly want to see you fail.

They'll give praise to face and secretly be plotting to take wind out of sails.

Just be silent and let them talk.

They will eventually reveal themselves.

Its better to walk alone than recieve false help.

Check in

Life's all about routine maintenance.

Its nesscary to pop the hood sometimes too see if everything's still running smoothly.

Just take a  moment out to reflect on how you feel.

Breath deeply to see where your at.

Are you ok?

What's the format?

Did that thing really bother you?

You need to know.

Your true feelings won't always be aparent.

They won't always show.

Check on them.

Take inventory.

Make time to sort everything all out.

Find your center.

Create a safe space.

The last thing you need is to slip into a sunken place.

Outside

 You don't have to be perfect.

Just be real.

Be true to yourself.

Be true to your art and express how you truly feel.

Don't be affraid to color outside the lines.

Live your truth.

Stand firmly on  your beliefs.

Don't seek validation.

Stick out like a sore thumb.

Embrace your flaws.

Don't be affraid to fail.

Above all just be you at all cost.

Don't try to follow after the crowd because their all lost.

Just remember.

 Just close your eyes and capture this moment in this instance of time.

Do you feel how calm and serene it is right now?

It feels nice doesn't it?

Enjoy this feeling because it won't last long.

A storm is brewing and the minstrels are composing new songs.

The winds of destiny are blowing and it does not  bode well for those that have chosen to forget or worse yet those who are not the least bit concerned with the ongoing plight of the oppressed.

The seeds of revolt are germinating.

There will be another civil unrest.

When it happens again get to higher ground and do not act surprised.

Just reflect, receive, and above all remember.

Remember all the  times that the gavel banged for false injustice.

Remember all the falsely accused.

Remember all the trumped up charges.

Remember every man, woman and child that ever got strung up by a noose and hung from a tree.

Remember how the word picnic came to be.

Remember every piece of land ever stolen from us.

Remember every lie ever told to us about us.

Remember slavery.

Remember Tuskegee.

Remember Jim crow.

Remember cointelpro.

Remember redlining.

Remember chem trails.

Remember Flint.

Remember Tulsa Oklahoma.

Remember Merger.

Remember Fred.

Remember Bobby.

Remember Malcolm.

Remember Martin.

Remember Emit.

Remember Mike

Remember Tamir.

Remember Freddie.

Remember Sean.

Remember Eric.

Remember Philando.

Remember Sandra.

Remember Rhogena.

Remember India.

Remember every dereliction of duty.

Remember every loan, bail, and opportunity denied.

Remember every tear shed from a black parent as they were told their child died.

Remember all these injustices as the tension slowly mount.

Remember how you benefited from it or stood ideally by as it was happening right in front of you.

Remember how each soul felt before the first blow was delt.

Remember all the shrieks of pain from the past.

Remember all those things as you gaze upon the rumble and the ash.

Remember how we groveled

Remember how we begged.

Remember how we pleaded.

Remember how we confided in you and the way we vented.

Remember if you would have only done "something" this could have all been prevented.

Listen up

 Sometimes people don't want answers.

Sometimes they don't need truth.

Sometimes logic isn't required.

Sometimes no feedback is exactly the remedy they seek.

Sometimes they just want to open up to an ear kind enough to hear.

Absence

  

Sometimes you just have to fall back from everything and everyone.

Sometimes you just need your space.

Sometimes you just need isolate so they can full appricate you, and all the fond memories and time spent.

Sometimes you start from scratch and erase your carbon footprint.

Sometimes you just let them 

feel your absence.

I'm so ready.

I'm ready for peace.

I'm ready tranquility.

I'm ready serinity.

I'm ready  for closure.

I'm ready to be unbound.

I'm ready for light.

I'm ready for eternal bliss.

I'm ready for paradise.

No words

What's understood doesn't have to be explained.

Why waste words on def ears or those that have missed the plot?

Why try to convince someone that already has their mind made up?

Words are precious precious as  time.

I don't have one free second to waste any of mine.

I'm it my best best here.

I feel myself getting stronger.

I cancelling out my can'ts and undoing my nots.

I'm at my best here.

This is my spot.

Angel tears

Don't fight them.

Don't hold back. 

Allow them flow.

Let them heal you. 

Let them cleanse you of your you woes.

  Let them push out all your  hurt.

Let them push out all your pain.  

Let them amplify you joy.

Let them relive you of your burden. 

Let them aid you in conquering your fears.

Don't hold them back.

Let go.

Let them flow.

Embrace your tears.

Reflect

We all fall of the glory somewhere in some respect.

Were all worthy of redemption and saving grace.

How far would you go to save face?

Are you too good to admit your wrong or need help?

Do think you don't be need anyone?

Do think you can do it all by yourself?

Can you show the same mercy mercy you seek or are too worried about appearing weak?

Can you find peace?

After you let go will you have the ability to see things clearer?

You at war but not with everyone.

It's just you vs the mirror.
