Price of Fame



Get out your feelings,
Words I say to myself,
While laying motionlessly,
In desperate need of help,
My mental has left,

My spiritual is broken,
Leaving me choking on this world,
Like drowning in a frozen ocean,
My decisions must be potent,
To free me from this open,

Wound that I have, created by neglect I’ve chosen,
Abandoned myself,
Consumed in the world,
Losing myself,
Searching if I ever cared for myself,

Put the world,
Ahead of me,
Like if I succeed,
My health will proceed,

Success doesn’t determine,
Status of health,
Is getting ahead,
More important than your health?

At what point,
Do you put yourself first?
And if high success comes,
It isn’t detrimental to health,

Choose your path,
Or self-destruct,
Some people put success,
Over their health,
Yes work hard,
But pace yourself,
Some of the greats,
Fail to pace themselves,
They live in heaven now,
You still have time left

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...
