What bird am I?

A woman called me a 'Thrushie' but I don't thief. I am not a peacock cause I don't focus on being proud. I'm not a dove cause I am everything but quiet. I'm somewhat eagle cause I want to soar. I'm part chicken cause I will peck your eyes out even you come near my young. I'm part parrot but I can speak for myself. I could be chickenhawk but that's not me.

I have a little of all but the 'thrushie' thing did tickle me. However, I realize that if I stay stuck worrying about foolishness, then I can't move forward. I'll have to let out the eagle in me and soar higher. However, if you mash my corn, I may have to become that chicken who will peck back. If I have to be a thrushie, let me be one to steal your anger but instead I'll leave you with love.

Poetic Prayer #2

Dear God,

These days are trying
and many around us are dying
for senseless reasons
and as we pass the seasons
we continue to sin
and think that we are about to win
but the only champion
is the one heading to Zion
safe in the Father's arm
where no one can harm
raise alarm
because Jesus' love brings calm
it help us not to get caught up
but instead to wise up
and focus on God's way
and continuously pray
and not let the devil sway
our hearts his way
we got a work to do
and as we trod through
the rough times and the pain
let Jesus' love reign
because he did on the cross for all
and he picks us up when we fall
our God, the one who takes us through
refreshes us and gives us live anew!

POEM: No Shame

I've got no shame in my game
cause I know I'm not lame
and while my hair is not tamed
step in my way - you might get maimed
but seriously, I love my name
and I'm not driven by fame
but God knows why I came
so as I keeping burning my flame
Don't think I'm just the same
as I was back in the game
cause I don't live in a picture frame
and I don't play lil kids games

POEM: Top That

BOOM!
I clap
and tap
in rhythm
BANG!
can you hear
the band
as they
play the
sounds of life
CLANG!
as the cymbals
rang
I sang
then jammed
with the music
that never stops
you can't
top
that

Moving forward

It's pet peeves time again. What really riles me up? Anything stupidness does. However, I can't stay peeved for every foolish thing. I have one grey hair and I'm happy with it. I am not trying to get anymore right now!

It's all about learning from mistakes and moving on. As you read this post, you're probably thinking that the ribbon is being unraveled but it's not. You just have to learn to move on. Life is not that serious. It's short and you don't have to try to fit in with the popular crowd or follow the popular creed. Just do you and be happy with your choices. Try to make the best decisions and enjoy the simple things. Appreciate life and love yourself!

POEM: All I need

In my place
at my pace
in this little place
beside a small case
all I ask for is
Peace
a small release
no rice and peas
an unsigned lease
as I head to the east
all I need is
Peace
