Only Role Model



I don’t condone the lifestyle that he had,
But I do condone the fact,
He was all I had,

He was my father figure,
Big brother and the only figure,
Who could show me the way,
Because his feelings about our living conditions,
Equally vivid,

Birthed in a struggling world,
Nothing was given,
At times felt like,
Hope was something life never was given,
Even though I’m past these days,
I can still see it vivid,

Cousin back in jail,
But I’m still living,
Lost now,
He was all that I saw,
As a model figure,

No one to turn to,
I’m out on my own,
Succeeding in life,
Wishing my cousin was home,

I know this not,
The way the world works,
It doesn’t always give you,
The thing you want to work,

Grant me this wish Lord,
I know I’m not perfect,
I’m halfway good,
I sin still,
But God don’t continue to hurt this,

Family I have,
We all we got,
Correct his missteps,
I promise to help him off the block,
Lord hear my prayer,
Because I know you’re all I got,
To make it stop

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...

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

Goodbye for Now...Maybe tomorrow...Maybe Forever..

Hello all. I have thoroughly enjoyed using my talents to connect with many of you and positively affect lives. It is my hope that I left enough in the world to last you until I decide to post again. For 11 years, I have wrote and consistently shared my work with the world with only my selfless intent on it being a tool used to help you muscle through trying times in life as well as open your eyes to new perspectives.   I have realized that in doing so, I’ve became even more committed. I joined Instagram and posted daily. I haven’t kept count how many months straight it’s been. I have noticed that at a young age, I’ve accomplished so much in life and kept a constant discipline as well as dedication to achieve so much before even starting this journey. I am not yet 30 but have become immensely proud of the dream-like accomplishments. However, I also noticed that I haven’t really created time for myself and really appreciated the life I am able to live now due to this new vent...
