i and i and i and I
have decided today, to let the pain die
and realized that, i needed to smile more
why on earth would i be living my life for?
if i didn't give praise and be thankful for the small things
love God and celebrate the joy loving Him brings
i've opened my weary eyes to the yellow sunlight
i've accepted "i am who i am" in his righteous sight
and i ain't apologizing for being me....
i'm standing tall, walking upright, swaying my hips
i am energy+positivity+sensuality's daughter's lips
for just when i thought i was a forgotten soldier
my faith has lifted my burdens off of my shoulders
and now i too, feel free....
there is a peace within, that felt strange at first
like a foreign being, had taken over my thirst
and the absence of light that consumed my eyes
broke free this morning when i woke up and realized
"what a beautiful surprise the sunrise is
to those who've lived in darkness"
now, it's so bright.....
i am falling in love with each new day
living my life in a way that even from a distance
you can tell where my fruits lay
did i mention that i am thankful.....
thankful for the second chances and opportunity
thankful for the food of life that feeds me
thankful for the spiritual, the physical and the mental
i am thankful for everything that is uniquely individual
i am holding onto to everything like i am totally greedy
i am pulling closer all of the radiant energies
i am holding onto the joy that is truly mine
for i am a star
how can i not shine?
i am learning more
i am living more
i am accepting that i am a poet
and no longer somebody's puppet
so this thing, whatever it is, i ain't running from it
and i'll use it as my experiment till
i reach the limit...
and i need to write more.....
i need to love more hardcore
i need to give thanks more
i need to sing more
i need to be much more, than my mind
and i need to leave the past, behind
i need to remind myself of where i want to go
and i need to go there...
i need to stop rambling
and i need to find a way to end this poem
i need to go out on a high note
so i think i'll just end this one with one of my
favourite quotes...
"trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to thine own understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path"
Proverbs 3:5-6

This poem is one of the most inspiring poems I have ever read. It made feel powerful beyond measure, like if I could acomplish anything I put my mind to and reminded me that I decide how happy I want to be. You would not imagine that words could make you feel like that.
Keep doing what you are doing.
