This is for the haters

Who claim to be supporters

Cheering for you

While harshly judging you

They claim to be critics

As they break your spirit

Not realizing the damage

Their words have managed

Rattling your insecurity

Increasing your anxiety

Setting you on edge

As you wonder, Am I worthy of the stage

Now you have a creative block

Some sort of Mental block

You’ve Lost the creativity

Now you are Doubting your ability

All you want to do is express yourself

Work on your art and improve yourself

You may not be as good as one of the greats

But one day you might be great

You are hearing voices

Hey you wannabe

You ain’t got what it takes to be

The next Jay Z

Stage 2 setting in

As you close yourself in

Trying to isolate

Before it’s to late

Are youLosing your mind

Is this what happens to your kind

It’s a slippery slope

You ain’t got a rope

Which will pull you up

To help you stand up

To boost your self esteem

So you can get that personal win

Looking for inspiration

some sort of motivation

To help this blow to your emotion

To remind you, that you are worthy for all your dedication

You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself

You don’t need validation

To keep doing your creation

To please anyone

Cause you got close friends and family to look up to

Your biggest supporters

When your fail

Your biggest supporters

When you rise

Cause they don’t laugh or put you down

When you try

Maybe it’s to much to ask

For them to believe in you

Take away from their precious time

To support you

Or are they waiting

For you to blow up

So they can show up

With a sign, your number one fan

Since day one!

Your not angry just frustrated

That hard work is not appreciated

To show some decency

Towards a man trying to live up to his ability

All yo want to do is make them proud

For they have always been around

All you want is them to applaud

For all your efforts out loud.

Black lives matter
Is a serious matter
It’s not just a phrase
But a strong case
Against brutality
Caused by white supremacy
By those who promised to serve and protect
Upholding the law
Not realizing the devastating effect
I have a dream
So many people scream
Famously uttered by Martin Luther King
Fighting for this very reason
To stand up against discrimination
To end bigotry and segregation
To be part of a civilized nation
Where your not judged by the color of your skin
Where you’re no longer a minority
And there is equality
Unfortunately it’s still a dream
Cause we are living a nightmare of a reality
You ask what’s the matter
Black lives matter
It’s not a fancy hash tag
To put on a T-shirt
Like some graphite art
It is a strong message
Representing the many affected, different ages
Living in fear
Wondering is this the year
I get shot or beaten
For asking a simple question
Or crossing an intersection
You’re filled with rage
Cause one man took the stage
To address this hate
Kneeling to the anthem
To shed light on this matter, Black lives matter
Like Malcolm
Now he is axed
Cast away and isolated
Cause he used his voice and presence
To speak up against your ignorance
To shatter your privileged arrogance
On the subject matter, black lives matter
How many deaths will it take
To see a mothers heart break, ache
See her child on the news
Become a headline, breaking news
Not for prizes or accolades
But a photo, deceased due to hate
Are you so blinded by the system
That you don’t realize we live in a broken system
Where whites can carry guns and protest
But blacks can’t even go to the grocery store without a consent
Are we really in a first world country
Where politicians pretend to try
To understand this grave matter
Blacks lives matter
Where they only care about their congressional seats
Making fake promises of reform
Making glorified speeches, we understand
But when the time comes, they refuse to stand
For the one matter, Black lives matter
So have we really progressed as a nation
What is the measure of our progression
The technological advancements of our generation
Are we that naive that we can’t comprehend
The simple human interactions
Are broken and divided
Because one race is considered superior
And another inferior
That is not progression
That is a nation in regression
Cause we can’t address what matters
Black lives matters!

It’s a reflective period

During this quarantine period

Regarding my character and behavior

On topics of sensitivity and candor

Not taken seriously

Is the image currently

Fueled by actions and moments

Of complete embarrassments.

Firstly I must apologize

As I do realize

I play a part, small or big

When being an absolute prick

I’m partly to blame

Assuming it’s fun and games

Using words not thinking

Whose hurting

Words are dangerous

They cut deeper

Then a knife through butter

Not realizing the person in front will suffer

Due to lack of common sense and character

We forget to be mindful for the simple things

Humility, generosity, kindness among other things

Quick to judge a book by its cover

Not take the time to read the first page

Cause the first impression is what matters

Maybe it’s the kid in me

Or the lack of maturity

Tarnishi  ng my personality

Trying to be goofy

We are all guilty of this

Not realizing that actions have consequences

Inflicting stress on mans mental state

Setting him up for depression

A life time state

Bullying is a real thing

Social media ain’t playing

It’s a fun way to connect

But socially there is a disconnect

People ganging up on an individuals

Not realizing they are being cynical

Are We trying to climb a social chain

While acting like a complete pain

Towards those who love us

But respect us to much to tell us

Time to step back and reevaluate

Before it’s to late

reflect and be straight

Before people start to hate

The attitude

And tell us, stay away Dude.

We live in a world full of sensitivity

As education and technology

Advance beyond our capability

We must think before we speak

Even though the first amendment states freedom of speech

But there should be a disclaimer

Read the room and social cues

Before you speak

It’s not too late to act your age

Apply knowledge

And move past days of college

Use your maturity and sensibility

Because we are part of a community

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Beautiful, strong and pure

Don’t let the world bring you down based on

Your gender, race, faith, sexual orientation

Or your political affiliation

You’re unique one of kind

With a strong conscious mind

It is our light, not our darkness

That most frightens us

Your kindness brings people together

When things don’t seem to be clear

Because it’s in your nature

To love, an emotion

That feels the heart with joy

But also great sorrow

When you lose someone dear making you hollow

We ask ourselves

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Stand in front of the mirror

See the reflection of a conqueror

One who has won battles of discrimination

Stood up to oppression

Sided truth during adversity

With every fiber of your ability

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God

You playing small

Does not serve the world

It only makes the hateful stronger

Because they have the power

To inflict pain

Cause you took the back seat again

Which is a shame

There is no one to blame

But you, for not standing up when we counted on you

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking

So that other people won’t feel insecure around you

Your vulnerability is the essence of your humanity

Having the fear of failure

Makes you rise higher

Speak up for those that matter

That is the strength of your vulnerability

A strong asset of your personality

We were all meant to shine as children do

Full of life and happiness

Filled with curiosity and bravery

As well as innocence and creativity

Being an inspiration to a nation

Following our emotions

Cause we were born to make manifest

The glory of God that is within us

It’s not just in some of us

It’s in everyone

And as we let our own light shine

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same

Because at the end of the day we may be different but we are still the same

Burning inside with a flame

To make the world a better place

At a continued pace

Together, as we are liberated from our own fear

Our presences automatically liberates others.

The simple philosophies

Make the mind question our realities

Affecting our ideology

Disrupting a well crafted human methodology

Questions upon questions

About the simple things like happiness

Until a scholar decides to add some flair to his craziness

And ask you about meaningfulness

He goes, son are you happy

If so, why do need to indulge in materialistic things to make you happy

Does it give you satisfaction

A rare moment of jubilation

A smile to last you a few seconds

Until you’re of to something new within seconds

Does it give meaning to your life

This new found happiness

As you share on Facebook to show the world

Your trending awesomeness

Is it the likes, the retweets or mentions

That lift you on a pedestal

To elevate your emotion

That’s make you happy

But really you’re just empty

Is being happy searching for validation

In a new generation of interactions

Chatting, snap chatting

Gathering momentum virtually

But you struggling personally

Is that giving your life meaning

Or are you another mannequin in the making?

Putting on a smile, creating a facade

So ask yourself this question

Is happiness the same as meaningfulness

If you were to give up all things material

Would your life still have meaning

Standing under a clear sky

With a slight breeze

Feeling free no more compromise

Your counter argument

To this predicament

I have family and friends

To make me happy

To give me meaning

They are always there supporting

Lifting me up when I am drowning

My life line through thick and thin

My protective armor on my skin

There is no disputing

A life worth living

Happiness is not the same as a sense of meaning.

How do we go about finding a meaningful life, not just a happy one

Is it the warmth of the sun

Or having all your hearts desires

This is a cross road

Its very odd

In one hand you have everything

In another nothing

So what is the real meaning

Of being happy

A philosophers riddle

Which has left right you in the middle.

Ever sit and wonder

About life and ponder

What am doing here

Watching people do it big

While seated on the couch, Will I ever make it big

That’s the dilemma

Am I in the right career

1 to 2 shifts, 40 hour weeks

Sometimes overtime

All that hard work

So that we can enjoy societies few perks.

Growing up you were told

Go to school get an education

If you use the right determination

You will beat the competition

So you stayed up, studied hard

Cause that was your golden ticket

to go abroad

The best universities

One step closer to financial securities.

Has it been worth it

Let’s weigh the pros and cons of it

A nice house, a nice car

Social gatherings and vacations

deserved for your relentless ambition

What more can you ask for?

Let’s see, bills and debt

For your luxury corvette

To impress a Brunette

Maintaining an expensive lifestyle

Now your a modern day slave not to a human

But to power, money and the corporate lifestyle

Now you start to think

Is this how I want my life to be

Will I ever be free of this corporate greed

Or will I have to wait till retirement

To enjoy my desires and

Be left with a bit of regret

I did not take that risk, the chance

I wish I had a second chance

That’s not the case, your still on your couch

Day dreaming of a future with so many

Unanswered questions

The truth is, you know the answers to those questions

But your scared to let go, cause failure is not an option at this stage

Of your age

Your happy with what you’ve accomplished

It’s comfortable and it’s your normal

Why would you stop now to try something different

You know it’s difficult

To start again from scratch

Invest your cash

Because you pondered

And wondered

Will I ever make it big
