GRATITUDE (POETRY)

I find Gratitude

There’s those days  I wonder what my purpose is in life”

Why I was here and why I was consumed with fear.

I fell asleep obsessing on what the next day would possess.

And what else would the world confess to me.

And how many more awful things will I have to see, with all of the world’s diversities.

I swam thru life like a seed in the womb, anxiously awaiting exposure.

Like a butterfly in its cocoon.

Like the unknown on the moon.

I’m overwhelmed with anxiety and uneducated stares from society, because of my sobriety.

I was just a girl trying to find herself.

I was lost.

I saw women my age, so strong.

Meanwhile everything in my life felt all wrong.

Most days I was so angry I couldn’t even think.

And by each passing moment I sank deeper and deeper into the darkest part of life.

The part I have become strong enough to fight.

I find gratitude when I see the homeless sleeping under a bridge, and people living like pigs.

I myself have been places a rat wouldn’t go.

And had been knee deep homeless in the snow.

I find gratitude when I see babies born to AIDS, and how afraid they must feel.

I find gratitude when I think of the mothers, and guilt will kill.

And if these truths are giving you chills, then you know how I feel.

I feel gratitude when I think of women who have been killed for the taste of the thrill.

I feel gratitude when I think of crack addicted babies with that constant cry.

Doctors working hard, but millions still die.

I find gratitude every time I pick up a pen.

And express today, I won’t let the darkest part of life win.

I find gratitude when I think of the people who have lost their minds.

Walking in the wilderness trying to catch up with the time.

I find gratitude because I have somewhat of a clear mind.

Still a little lost…

But the hope is I am trying to find.

I find gratitude when I hear the birds sing.

I used to hate the noise, now I understand the reason they sing.

I find gratitude every time I feel the sun.

I got another day clean and I’m going to get another one.

I find gratitude when I think of what I have been through.

I am finally happy, joyous and free.

And you can be too.

 

                                                                        Thank you, Gratitude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ENERGY, ENERGY, ENERGY!!! (RANDOM THOUGHTS)

THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH ENERGY LIKE STATIC WE ATTRACT THE ENERGY WE GIVE OUT. IF YOUR MEAN WITH A NASTY ATTITUDE THE UNIVERSE WILL FEEL THAT AND YOU WILL ATTRACT ONLY NEGATIVE NASTY PEOPLE WITH NO GOOD RESULTS. WHEN THE ENERGY IS ATTRACTIVE THE RESULTS WILL BE TO,,,I LOVE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION! STAY POSITIVE  AND TELL YOURSELF TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY!

SHELTER

THIS IS THE BEST UMBRELLA  I CAN HAVE

I AM NOT INTO RELIGION AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS YOUR DECISION

HOWEVER WHEN THE STORMS COME

YOU WILL NEED SOME POWER TO HELP YOU DEAL

YOU BETTER HAVE SOMETHING IN WHICH YOU CAN FIND SHELTER FROM THE STORM

LIFE IS A ROLLERCOASTER AND IS CAPABLE OF TAKEING ANY FORM

THIS IS ME TELLING YOU

SO U CAN’T SAY YOU HAVENT BEEN WARNED
