Chosen

Your not everyone else.

 Your purpose is greater.

That's why you suffer so.

Your heart is pure.

You never treat others as others treat you.

You would never deny others the way they deny you.

They couldn't handle the type of pressure life puts you through.

If they were ever in your shoes they wouldn't know what to do.

You  are solid.

You stand for virtue.

That is why they fear you.

That is why they mock you.

That is why they try to hurt you.

You are an inspiration.

You are the remedy for pain.

You have a heart as pure as gold. 

You never compromise your integrity.

Your will does not bend nor fold.

You can not be bought.

You can not be sold.

Many are called but few are chosen.

Your values  and honor are second to none. 

You shine brightly.

You are the one.

No clear path

The path to success isn't always clear.

There is no straight line.

The is no perfect blue print or module that will properly 

assist you.

Their will be no wise sage standing in the middle of the road that will mentor you and point you in the right direction.

You will be all alone for most of Journey.

You will toil endlessly day and night.

No will comfort you.

No one will be sympathetic to your plight.

You will see everyone in their rarest form and in their truest light.

It won't be easy.

You will stumble.

You will fall.

You will fail.

The only way to reach the end is to keep your heart.

 Trust in the process and you will prevail.

No way.

 You can give some people your all but that still won't be good enough for them.

If  you give them this they'll want that.

Their is litteraly no pleasing people like that.

So when you encounter  these types of individuals use the power no.

 Just tell them no flat out.

Say no with no remorse or empty feelings of doubt.

Say no until your voice goes horse.

No,I will not take you.

No, I will not wait for you.

No, I will not cosign for you.

No, I will not endorse you.

No, I will not support you.

No, I will not give you my all my time.

No, I will not listen to you vent.

No, I will not organize your life.

No, I will not lend.

No, I will not get in between that.

No, I'm not jumping in your fight.

No, I don't have time to hear your plight. 

No, your not my top priority. 

Learn to say no unapologetically. 

They didn't appreciate all the times you did not.

Say no and walk away.

If they have a problem with that then let them rot.

Time enigma

Contrary to all unpopular belief I do not heal all wounds.

However I do march on even if you stand still.

You can waste me frivoulsy or utilize me wisely.

Some people loose the plot because they refuse to take me.

I move differently from to region to region.

I am a constant.

I am ever lasting.

I never stand still.

I never change.

I'm not a magician but I can vanish in the blink of an eye.

What am I?

I don't care.

I'm less than impressed.

I don't have time for foolishness.

I have no time for mess.

I really do not care.

If doesn't pay my bills I could care less.

I don't care who said what and what's going on over there. 

I truly don't care about the latest tea.

Gossip doesn't fly or set well with me.

I don't care about your house,your car, your jewelry.

Nice.

Good for you.

What's that have to do with me? 

I definitely don't care about nobodies talking about me.

It's actually makes me feel pretty good that I occupied a space in their minds.

I gave them something to talk about with their worthless behinds.

I don't care about who said what on reality T.V.

I mind my own business.

I worry about me.

Yes, I have principles.

Yes, I have social concerns.

I speak up on them and stand up for them when I need to but all that he said she said is something that I just don't do. 

I don't care.

Don't waste you breath.

If it's not positive or productive I could care less.

No worries

I'm not interested in your story. 

I pay you no mind.

You don't exist to me.

I have no patience for you.

Your a myth to me.

What ever was was and what ever may be will be.

You don't do anything for me.

That's why can't occupy a space inside my head.

I have no use for you.

I'm worry free.

Much needed change

I can't always welcome you with opens arms.

I can't always smile at you when your staring at me directly in my face.

I know how badly I need you yet sometimes, I honestly can't stand you.

It's not you.

It's me.

You force me to look at things I do not want to see.

You challenge me to let go of the  things that are hindering me  and weighing me down.

Your like a vegetable to me.

You don't taste very good but your oh so vital for my nourishment and growth.

Your a constant reminder to me of  everything that I am meant to be.

Thank you for helping me become a better version of me.

I've been there.

 I know what it's like to suffer loss.

I know what's like to pay an inconceivable price.

I know all too well what that feeling is like.

I know how it feels to be counted out and overlooked.

I know what it's like to have victory seized.

I have felt the sting of betrayal.

I know what it's like when no one believes in you.

I know how it feels to go all the way down to zero. 

I know what it's like to walk all alone.

 I know what it's like to have an insatiable sense of longing.

I know what it's like to desire fitting in and belonging.

I know what it's like to be outcasted and shamed.

I know what it's like to be villafied and blamed.

I know what it's like to be judged.

I know how it feels to be given up on.

I have been to that sunken place.

I have stared directly into the abyss.

I have been broken into a million pieces and had those shards ground into a fine powder.

I've been their.

I can relate.

I know how it feels when no one cares.

I may not have any advice or a solution to help you get through....but I have been there too.

Dispel

The world is yours you just have to claim it.

 

You can have whatever  you desire in this world. 

 

 

You just have to name it. 

Of course, discpline, focus,execution, and ingenuity is an absolute must.    You  have to faith and give the process every ounce of your trust.

However that's not all you have to do. You have to banish that doubt lurking inside of you.

      You have change your thoughts and speech pattern. 

Get rid of can't.

Banish what if.

Hope is a must but never say it out loud.

Words are powerful.

Pay attention to what you say.

Select them wisely.

Choose them well.

They will ultimately decide if you succed or if you fail.

Break your negative thought and speech pattern.

Break your bad habits by casting your own spell.

Transparent enegma

Are you familiar with the old proverb about a tree making a sound when no one is around?

I am and It always has me wondering if it could be true.

 

That very same question can be posed about me or you.

Are you the same person even when none is looking?

You say your solid but will you fold under pressure?

You say your righteous but will you openly admit your sins?

You say you want equality for all but will you let just any one in?

You say your trust worthy but will you steal?

You say your genuine but are you real?

What type of secretes do you conceal under your progressive facade?

The truth is eternally convicting and piecers the ego like darts.

Sooner or later it will reveal everything that you do in the dark.

Are you truly who and what you say you are?

Do you really have good intentions?

Do you really have love in your heart?

Are you completely free from malice and slight?

 

Can you really walk it like you talk it?

If you are who you say you are then stop lurking in the shadows and step into the light.

Flying colors.

 

Your not like everybody else.

Your purpose is much greater.

That's why everything is so difficult.

Your being tested.

On every new level you'll encounter a new devil.

The terrain will only get rougher from from here.

If you have courage and see it through then you'll surely persever.

You must suffer hardships and over come obstacles to prove that you can handle being blessed.

The challenges you face will make you great.

Success is your destiny.

Victory is your fate.

Clutch

 Whose that one person that's always their for you no matter what?

Who has your back when the chips are down?

Who speaks highly of you no matter who they are around?

Who is that person that will defend your name until the bitter end?

Who will come through for with no hesitation.

Who is your clutch?

If you don't have one you better find one soon.

When you do find one be prepared to be their for them like they are their for you.

Customer won'tserveus

 Exuse me.

 Can I help you find  something?

If you need some help just let me know.

Does that sound familiar?

Do those phrases ring any bells?

It should if your skin isn't pale.

It's a store moto that my people know all too well.

It's called retail racism commonly reffered to as shopping while black.

Every black person in world can relate to that.

Some retail outlets have us  targeted as soon as we set foot inside the store.

Then their shop minions stealthfuly track our every move in every aisle throughout the sales floor.

They slink around spying on us suspiciously.

Their just waiting for the opportunity to dial 911 maliciously.

Then after we notice the game that's being played they'll usually deploy a slick response followed up with some repartee. 

They'll usually say something along the lines of we didn't mean to offend. It's just that we've been encountering  a lot of shoplifters lately.

Then they'll go out of their way to provide the rudest shopping experience they possibly can.

They don't want us in their store.

They don't want our business.

They do not value us or our dollar and that's a fact.

They do this by design because they don't want us to come back.

The complaint process is a joke and the litigation process is hardly worth the effort to pursue. 

Why is it this way?

Why do they not believe we deserve common decency?

How long must we endure until we are properly serviced?

They'll accommodate an animal before they serve us.

True hate

 Everything ain't for body.

We all can't be in ageeance all the time and that's a fact.

I may like it like this and you may prefer it like that.

That's just how it is.

 One can't be labeled a hater just because one refuses to follow the crowd and conform to the norm?

One should feel free to speak their mind and stand on their  own truth.

You should always call like you see it.

We're not put here to people please. 

That's not what we're here to do.

If someone ever asks you how you feel about something you should always tell them truth.

If they call you a hater after the fact then that says a lot about them and not about you.
