Piss Poor Contentment

 

Tears cry,

a smile

smiles.

Hurt

hurts,

a laugh

laughs out loud,

and frustration turns to anger.

With that being said,

our we controlling our walk

or being misled?

We dread,

over jobs and bills,

and hurt from the past

that we keep concealed.

At times we want to smile

but we hold back,

as though someone might steal.

Did we let our past

outlast our dash?

Why are we so scared to face

our hurt, failures, and disgrace?

Why do we have so much pride?

No one wants to be wrong,

but we cannot all be right.

No one wants to say

“I’m sorry or, I fucked up.”

The part that bothers me

is Our Souls are begging

to BE FREE.

WE HAVE TO FREE OUR SOULS,

and the hurt…

Look beyond it,

release everything

so we can liberate ourselves from bondage.

When we look in the mirror

we’re mostly caught up

in the latest pimple,

gray hair, wrinkle,

and or blemish.

How we forget that

that reflection

reflects the perfection

of God’s image!

There is a warrior,

a gentle heart, a boldness,

and a compassion

beyond all fashion.

There’s a peace, a dream,

there’s anointing, and power

imprisoned within Us.

It’s like…

we’re selfishly holding these things hostage,

when they were meant

with the sole intent

to change the environment.

But we are too scared

to be hurt… Again.

What I’ve come to realize is…

If you don’t want to be hurt,

hop your a*s on another planet!!!

It is inevitable!

You cannot control another’s actions,

but we choose are reaction.

So the questions for us are:

When will we be strong enough

to look beyond the bullshit?

When will we regain

who we are?

When will we stop letting the world,

or our past, others, or hurt dictate

who we are?

First,

we have to fall in love

with the qualities that make us who we are,

and we are beautiful by far.

Then we have to be truthful

even sometimes brutal,

with the baggage

that we tend to carry…

As if it’s a marriage.

Question…

How many of us would walk around

with bags of garbage for two weeks?

No one in their right mind!

So why do we carry this savage

baggage,

in our life and our relationships

in a cycle of madness?

When our arm are tired

and our spirit is inspired,

but the fear within

causes us to hold back

and hide it.

YOU HAVE TO RELEASE

 to enter the realms of peace.

Cause Joy is obese

when the stress is deceased.

Surrender…

Cause imprisonment of the Soul,

is a cellmate’s contender.
