Finish strong.

Breathe.

Stretch.

Warm up.

Keep a steady pace.

Stay focused.

Concentrate on you.

Run your own race.

You'll get there in your own time.

You know what  you want to do.

Find the time.

It's a marathon not a sprint.

Keep pushing.

Don't quit.

If you fall nurse your wounds and get right back up.

Just remember.

Some may be at the finish line to greet you.


Others may be waiting  at the finish line hoping to cheat you or attempting to rob you of your win.


After you break that tape don't look back.






Take a moment to catch your breath to run that victory lap.


Then leave them blowing in the wind.




It doesn't matter how long it takes you.


It doesn't matter what route you take.

As long as you get there.

There is no right.

There is no wrong.

You  may  start off rocky .
Just stay the course and finish...  strong.

Resoution solution

It's that time again.


New year.


New me.


Same old song.


New year.


New me.


Who truly knew the old you though?


We are here to adapt.


We are here to evolve.


If you don't work on the old you then the old problems you'll never solve.


The pattern will never change.


The cycle will never break.


So  before you start burning bridges and severing ties


Listen  closely to yourself and look deep inside.


Master the old you.


Then give birth to all things new.


Know thy self first.


Then others will too.


Build.


Evolve.


Fine tune.


No need to make a resolution.


No need to hire special help.


You have the tools close at hand to become the best version of yourself.

Take me

Take me to place to where I can truly be care free.

Take me to land where there is no hatred of me.

Take me to a place where everyone has.

Take me to place where gunshots don't ring out.

Take me to a place where there is no suffering.

Take me to a place where there is no pain.

Take me to place where there is no heart ache.

 Take me to place where there is  no strife.

Take me far past the clouds.

Take beyond the stars.

Take me happiness... wherever you are.

Letter to the black woman.

Dear black woman,

Have I ever told you that I love everything about you?

I love your kind heart and nurturing spirit.

I love your ambition and your strength.

I love your versatility and all your unique gifts.

I'm memorized by those eyes.

I'm entranced by those lips, dips, and hips.

Let me stop.

I'm gushing.

 I'm in awe of you.

You got me blushing.

I didn't mean to drone on about the outside of you.

Their's just something about you that draws me to you.

You exude regality.

Your stylish without even trying.

I love you in all  different flesh tones. 
 From the darkest of the dark to the lightest of the light and everything in between. Your all queens and I'm not lying.

My sistah.

My Nubian queen.

You are the epicenter of the universe and creator of all things.

Enchantress.

Fierce goddess.

Lioness.

Sultry vision of loveliness.

Delicate flower. 

Your beauty holds no bounds.

Your mind holds secretes that can not be deciphered  by man.

I am forever in debited to you.

I will forever try my best to uphold you.

Respect our queens.

Let that law echo all through out this land.

PS.

I love you.

Footstool.

Bring on the shade.

Bring on the backlash.

Bring on sideward sneers.

Bring on whispers.

Bring on eye rolls.

Bring on the deep sighs.

Bring on all the ridicule.

Bring on the shaming.

Bring on the blaming.

All things  hold no meaning for me my friend.

For I know a place the table is being prepared for me.

Talk about me behind my back while my king blesses me before your eyes.

All the mud your slinging won't stop me... but it makes you feel better go ahead and try.

Stand on it.

Nobody ever said it as going to be easy.


Nobody ever said they would understand.


When none stands with you... stand anyway.


If they won't help you then find your own way.


If they don't agree with you then let them continue to say what they say.


Stand firm.


Take adventurous strides.


Enjoy the resentment.


Savor the persecution.


Relish the backlash.





If you believe strongly in something never back down.


Hold your ideals firmly.


Stand your ground.


If all they want is an argument then let them be.


Hold your stance maturely.


Agree to disagree.

Forever grateful

My attitude is gratitude.


I'm forever grateful.


I'm grateful that I woke up to see another day.


I'm grateful for  my dreams.


I'm grateful for my ambitions.


I'm grateful for victories.




I'm grateful for my losses.




I'm grateful for   all that I have now and everything that I know is on the way.


I'm grateful I have people that love me.


I'm even grateful for the people that despise me and despitefully  attempt to use me.


I'm grateful for all life's teachable moments and random mishaps.


I'm grateful that I can endure that.


I'm grateful that I have the opportunity everyday to become more free.


I'm grateful  each chance I receive to become a better version of me.
