the UGLY in me

"two extremes never have a common middle ground. It's either one or the other." - hyquality

emotion : my definition is very wide. If I had to roll with one I would say the way you feel and how you express what you feel. At least for me that seems to hold very true. Every one seems to base how I feel off what I do. I'm a very consistent person. I'm the same way all the time. There are rare occasions when I flip. It throws people off but that's life. Can we truly say the absence of a smile is the evidence of no happiness.

For majority of my life I've always struggled with looking for the perfect coat of skin. Either I put too many on or I ran out of paint. I can never seem to be properly dressed for any occasion. I've been so dominant in my past that the only alternative I seem to have is being totally submissive. I've gone from taking my middle finger attitude every where I go to carrying half my heart on my sleeve. It's so easy to act like I don't care and end up not caring at all than to care and have to consider all emotions on the table. But despite all this I know that you have to control your emotions. It shows how much faith you have.

It's been a hard long road to where I stand now. The drug I was addicted to almost killed me. It got so bad I would literally get high in my sleep. Thinking it was just a dream but in reality I was so far gone. I prayed and prayed. It wouldn't help. I broke down while rolling up but I wouldn't stop smoking. The first dose was the best. After that I was chasing it. Trying to reach the same level but my drug dealer kept feeding me the low grade. And I needed it day and night. Crying cause the satisfaction left a long time ago but the need to do it wouldn't leave. Imagine how it feels to smoke a lb and still be sane. In your regular state of mind. That was me. But everybody is looking at me to validate they freedom and I couldn't even save myself. I had guilt written on all my shirts and shame all across my jeans. I couldn't breathe. I was so caught up I couldn't even say I'm sorry. Salvation and repentance wasn't for addicts like me. I used up all my second chances. There was no saving me.

There was this beautiful light shining. The perfect shade of white. Not blinding but soothing. It released me. Corrected my vision and redesigned my thoughts. I chased it down and it led me to 11. 11 saved my soul. She gave me knew clothes of power and love to wear. She feed me and quenched my thirst. I will never forget that day. I found my passion I found myself I found Him again. I live to create more days like those. Nothing will ever beat the feeling of coming home no matter how many times you open the door.

Embrace Me

"Chest to chest. Nose to nose. Palm to palm. We were just that close. Wrist to wrist. Toe to toe.....So how come when I reach out my finger it feels like more than distance between us." - California King Bed: Rihanna Chest to chest The simplest of friendships start with the warmness of a hug. The closest that two hearts can be and still beat. Love has a language of its own. One you can only become fluent in through a relationship with Christ. But hugs are different. The embrace of open arms that only close when you come inside caused my first accident. I smashed into you and became paralyzed from the waist down. You picked me up vowing to never let me fall. Palm to palm We never interlocked fingers. We simply held hands. Conversations overlapping future speeches. Wisdom flying at the speed of light with no cops to pull us over. Hand shakes quickly turned into high fives as the intimacy reduced to seconds. Never hungry enough to eat the entire plate. From refrigerator to trash...

Knock You Down

"Love (human affection) has put me through so much. Ive cried held on let go let God. Stayed. Thought about leaving. Threw in the towel went to go wash it. Prayed and fasted. Stopped moving moved too fast. Sometimes I need a break from love." - Shanithia That one little mini paragraph is exactly how I feel right about now. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how else to explain it but that's it. On more than one occasion a couple different people have told me I need to let these relationships go and be by myself for a while. I need to enjoy the world around me cause once I get married I'm going to wish I had enjoyed life a little more. I always laughed about. I'm still laughing about that actually. I enjoy my life most days. Cant say all days cause these past four days have been....lets just say I've had way way way way better days. I don't feel as if the world has anything for me except foolishness and more trouble than I'm already promised. And...

Snapshots

Picture This Walking without a set destination. Wondering when my left and right switched positions causing me to go backwards. Hoping I would trip upon my future and land inside His will. Not sure if he still feels the same. He loves me He loves me not. Or maybe I don't love Him. Picture This A young lady fighting to hold on to what she knows. Not willing to give in to her past. Scared that she will disappoint those if they really knew the picture that sin snapped of her. Hoping they would believe for themselves but knowing the cross is heavy. Lord you said your burden is light and your yoke is easy. So why do I feel so heavy? Picture This Love blossoming like beautiful roses in a stone garden. Seperated but holding on tighter than ever before. Beautiful things come from hard places. Walking around several times doesn't always mean the walls fall down. Crazy things happen when you let Egypt conquer Judah. These jeans would fit better if I knew who I was. Picture This It...
