L.O.V.E. Notes: Intenciones

Haz lo oído todo

el amor

la admiración

y también la crítica

todos tienen una opinión 

de qué es lo mejor para ti

tantas opiniones 

pero la verdad es 

que nadie sabe

y muy poca gente

toma el tiempo 

para entender

tus luchas 

por esa razón

es difícil confiar en alguien

cuando las intenciones

no están claras

pero si te preocupas por

las intenciones de los demás

perderás el enfoque

hay unos que te apoyan

y otros que te ven 

como una amenaza

eso es la realidad

sin embargo

no te importa 

porque vives tu vida

con la intención 

ser feliz    

exitosa    

y sin disculpas 

así es mejor

The Sun Speaks

There you are

I know it's not always 

easy to see me

but every morning

I do my very best

to find you 

wherever you may be

because I need you 

more than you need me

I've been inspired

by your light 

since you were born 

even at my brightest 

my light has never been 

as bright as yours

clouds get in my way

more often than not

but no matter the obstacle

you find a way for overcome

and shine all on your own

it's been an honor

watching you shine

there's nothing like it

I help create Life

but you are Life

your light helps others

that makes you

a lightworker

I can only do so much

sharing time with the moon

the universe needs you

Love needs you

This Too

It's not easy

not even for me

knowing that

the world needs healing

and I'm a healer

sure I help others

get in shape 

but sometimes

even I struggle 

finding the motivation

when I need it most

that's why discipline 

is so important 

positive energy

having the right mindset

these things matter

more than ever

especially right now

and so I sit here

frustrated 

somewhat unsure

but also confident

that things will get better

I'll continue to do my part

knowing that 

the world needs healing

and I'm a healer

it's not easy

not even for me

but this too shall pass

just breathe

this too shall pass

Fiery

At first glance

she appears calm 

but don't be fooled

there's more

look deeper 

it's in her eyes

confidence

self-awareness

fearlessness 

all the ingredients

to live her life

on her own terms

in her rawest form

she said it herself

but don't be fooled

there's more

can you feel it

her energy

mindset

fighting spirit 

she's everything

you've wanted to see

in yourself

for a long time 

because like her

it's always been there

that spark

only you can ignite

she found a way

but don't be fooled

there's more

so much more

Straight Ahead

She remembers

of course she does

the scars made sure of that

but her focus is elsewhere

she's spent enough time

looking to her left

and looking to her right

for support from people

who were never there 

like that said they would be

and it blurred her vision a bit

so now she looks straight ahead

there's too much on the line

no time to waste

on those who waste time

she has two pairs of eyes 

watching her every move

they depend on her

more than anything in the world

as she does the best she can

to learn from past mistakes

her scars are still healing

but she's stronger than before

she cannot be finessed 

and she will not be denied 

because she remembers

that feeling of hopelessness 

never again though

she's been through too much 

to let anyone keep her

from seeing things clearly

that includes you

For Granted

Time

we think we 

have enough

but we don't 

not even close

so what do we do

we take it for granted 

that's what I did

now I'm alone

watching the parade

pass by 

crying

praying it isn't real

but knowing it is

opportunities

happiness

gone 

remembering

those three words

I just can't 

hurts

but I did that

taking for granted

what mattered most

and who mattered most

so what's next

anything

is there anything left

of me

to figure that out

I need more time

time

we think we

have enough 

but we don't

not even close

Him

He wanted to get rid of me

but his mother didn't like that

my second grandmother 

what a woman she was

she knew I would be different

than what became of him

watching his own father cheat on her

and being the head of a church 

didn't help matters any I'm sure

but he still could've been better

than what he was

I just wish I never met him

for the days I cried waiting for him

maybe that was foolish of me

not only did I learn how bad

of a father he truly was 

but also how he treated the

women in his life physically 

as well as mentally 

the life of a narcissist 

seeing that was enough to know 

I didn't want to be like him

his absence did leave a void 

but the women who raised me 

filled that void by teaching me 

how to treat others

I've done everything I can

to not be like him

we share more than a name

but we're built differently

the kid in me still cries at times

he just doesn't cry for him
