(i) love myself

Purpose: love yourself always....first...and life will be beautiful regardless inspiration: poem inspired by Kendrick Lamar single "i"

Success is crippling,
Eyes no longer look to me to be,
The brightest star they ever see,
They’re no longer amazed,
so they no longer applaud me,
But I don’t care,
I love myself,

Even when she said I wasn’t good enough,
painted a picture of a man, but it wasn’t me,
inside my heart cracked and started to bleed,
she don’t believe, there’s a man that she sees,
I look in the mirror and say to me,
I love myself,

At times when all hell is breaking loose,
and doubt visits,
When life is playing tug of war with my mind,
and peace seems to never be consistent,
When God is the only one I can call on,
because human understanding isn’t in existence,
I love myself,

At times I am floating through life,
When nothing is wrong, and everything,
seems to go right,
when God spoils me,
and sunny days start as soon as I wake,
I always remember to love me,
because that’s one thing life,
can never take,
I love myself

Inspired by Marvin Sapp's "Never Would Have Made It"

Never would have made it, Would be in the grave if, That knife was closer, If that condom wasn’t trustworthy, If them bullets didn’t call somebody else home, You have no idea, How many nights I cried alone, Because my sins were tucked at home, While my conscious dome, Realize God, Let me walk publicly distant from, The struggles I struggle with, When no one talking, Just the devil at my brain, Constantly knocking, I would have never made it to my success, Went through battles, Though no visible battle scars, Just PTSD, And hidden flaws, Things still trigger me, I can’t escape my past, Only can evolve as a person, But can never escape my innate ability, God saved me, But tug of wars I still see Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Inspired by Angela Rye's Comments

They made Angela Rye cry, Time for our form of apartheid, People just starting to be woke, People been hanging from ropes, Even a few months ago, They failed to acknowledge the truth, When it’s been staring at you, 400 years ignored, What does that say about you? It’s cool, You didn’t believe what we say, Then we provided you videotapes, You choke us to death, Shoot us to dead in broad day, And we’re feeling helpless, And our mothers continue to cry every day, I’m still hopeful for better, And I believe in God, Sometimes I wish I could lash out, But my hands are tied, Can’t be the hero my people need, It hurts me to see, The level of success I have, Yet it still don’t matter, They still treat me like a savage, Hate that our babies have to grow up in this madness, Feel like daily, Amerikkka has given us sadness Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twit
