Sticky Notes 2 Self ft. Loose-leaf Paper (This is the Remix) 🗒📝

Sometimes-at-times
a 3x3 sticky note is too tiny. 
Loose-leaf Paper can tell
it all and rule on college rule. 
Break it down. 
I can go in depth, 
line by line, about 
the things I tell myself:

"Dear Black Girl, remember why you rock and settle for nothing less." I have no choice but to be the catalyst in this generation. Because there are people like Queen momma told me that don't want me to have nothing at all.  Be nothing at all. They rather see me stumble and fall between crevices they didn't survive or build blocks to block me into being a flunkie. So, every time I win, achieve, prosper, I must do what what my ancestors didn't get a chance to do. That's my legacy. Be EXTRA good in a negative world so when people talk about me, they are really talking GOOD about me.

As long a I RUN this race, I better not run myself RAGGEDY. And always love.  Never forget to love because hate is viral. Hate is real. Keep in mind that I can't Create. Show. Give. love without loving myself FIRST.

Everything can come at an expense or get expensive but A smile is $0.00....Kindness is $0.00. Integrity, loyalty, and authenticity are rare. So I'm holding on tight to my gems. I learned to not waist my time or money. It is better to Save. Build. Repeat. so that I can stand or fall on my own two feet. Focus on me. And just cause I may have more than another and be an authentic good-hearted person, I am not obligated. I don't owe anybody, and I'm not responsible for the irresponsible. 
 
I gotta move smart. Play stupid when needed but don't be stupid with stupid. Everybody don't need Me.
I don't need Everybody. And Everybody is not for ME.
 
As always, 🕇Remember, even Jesus was envied, betrayed and lied on.🕇 We will not be exempted from evil doers, crucifixion, and trials and tribulations. Just know God is always 👀 and👂🏽 . And all will have a judgment day.....

PAD Challenge Day 30 (Two-for-Tuesday): "Alpha" & "Omega"

Image
PAD Challenge Day 30 (Two-for-Tuesday:   Write a "The End" poem, and/or write a beginning poem. Alpha I was seven when  I first tasted poetry. A bubbly, Southern girl  with pigtails and a smile.  From the tip to the back of  my strawberry tongue,  it became lemonade. Water to my minor soul; A major sweet  crystalline to my heart. Stirred me through  boiling points to refreshing seconds. Taught me how to roll  with the yellows and  tarts times of life. Omega Don't tell me to end. That's like telling me  to break up with  my bestfriends, Paper and Pen. And I don't know when  my last poem will be. I may die writing between  the stanzas of one  just for you to say  "Rest in Poem", poet. 💜D'ElegantOne

I'm A Growing Woman Intro

Welcome Readers, It is not an easy transition into a grown woman from a girl. But I manage. I’m succeeding my womanhood, individuality, and essence to make the best of what I call “my life”.   Everything is everything. I am everything but a lot of things are not me.   No, I am not the most perfect person in the world but I know who is: God.   Sometimes I seem to think that I am too much of a woman. Why? Because I bare and yield all good fruit that humanity should feed from, but not all human beings aim for the fresh, sweet fruit. I have yet to find the match to my peach. I can live without the superficial, and only require what’s deeply real I’m no short talker, but more of a big dreamer. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. I live by it; my words are heavily bonded to my heart….. I’m much of a lover with a substantial heart--- a heart that is teaching me to be kind, patient, and loving all over again----every day. At times, I think I need a new one, because I lo...

PAD Challenge Day 1 (Two-for-Tuesday): "Best of Times" and “Worst of Times”.

PAD Challenge Day 1 (Two-for-Tuesday): Write a "Best of Times" poem, and/or write a “Worst of Times”.   Best of times Growing up Saturdays were golden times Teena Marie was square biz And mom’s hotcakes were the hottest to melt Country Crock butter Confirmation of my adolescence transformation Something smaller can make something large and fluffy a delight Simple enhancements without too much alteration I, too, can be butter To a good ole fashioned world A good source of energy Smooth enough to activate the brilliance off the top of my head Rich enough to add more flavor to history Be essential to the vision my ancestors left for me to see That a little drizzle added to the best of both worlds never really could hurt anybody   Worst of Times Could it be found at  the Door of No Return? A forced, freedom-less ride along one of the 36,000 voyages, To create the greatest Americas’ horror film? Could it be the system it...
