RIP to a poetic Angel Maya Angelou (I wrote this on the day she died but didn't post it)

I wrote this on the day she died but can't remember why I didn't post it...

Today we lost one of a kind, today we lost a pure and gentle soul
Today we lost a warm heart, a heart filled with love and care,
A teacher to many, A phenomenal woman and woman with sweet words of poetry, a legend in literary words, Today the world lost the legendary Maya Angelou.
A woman whose heart was drawn to God, A woman who loved and feared God, she was admired by many, her subtle smile and her big laughter would always be remembered, now we take a moment a moment to honor the legendary Maya Angelou for a successful journey on planet earth, for making it this far and for touching the lives of people while her body was still left in the world.
The impact she made, the lives she saved, the women she consoled and the legacy she created.

I would like to take a moment here to honor Maya Angelou may your beautiful soul rest in the sweet bossom of peace.

Single Failure, Multiple Treasures

she stumbled and fell, in the midst of her peers... They laughed and stared, as she struggled to raise her head ... They murmur and whisper Oh what a shameful picture She can’t rise up and face her fear Not even worthy enough to raise a cheer. She is a failure, can never be treasured She was as bright as gold, but never dared to be bold She is a hidden pearl, never broke out of her shell She is good for nothing... matter of fact she will never stand to be something. Tears rained down her eyes She hated these lies Single lies without a worthy price She stood up with FIRE and yelled... LIAR. I am something, the Lord created me to be something I am a shining star, the Lord has brought me this far I have risen up; the Lord has filled my cup I fear nothing; the Lord has showered me with his blessing I am not a hidden pearl; I am his chosen girl. Her confidence created desire, desire to be like her Who is your Lord? May we pl...

Introspection

"Honestly, I am not the Holiest; neither am I rebellious, I can say I'm in-between but is that really good enough? Sometimes I pray and sometimes I partay lol, I guess my prayers will compensate for my wasted Fridays… and later forgive me for the prospects of further days…... right? Well I'm guessing… Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person; I go to church on Sundays and try paying my tithes… Hum... It's 10% of your income right? Yea I think I only give like 5… Who cares! only I know what’s inside... but ay! I still gave something… That's sowing a seed… and don't think I'm smoking weed… C'mon that's too far I'm not into that stuff, It can really mess you up... (not that I know of.. I was actually told of...) Ok let’s get serious… I'm not being Hilarious... You see, God is the reason for these spoken words, my life hasn't been something to write about... Sometimes I feel as though God doesn’t hear my prayers up there, mayb...

The Beauty Of Life...

A tiny little seed I was Still full of life With so much to give Vibrant As ever Nature is what I am Replaceable? Never!! Nobody knew my worth Couldn’t see what I had inside My outlook, so ordinary Personality, not in the dictionary Dirt was dug in my eyes Water splashed in my face Mud I ate Dogs came and polluted my hidden place How much more can I take? I cry to God every night Begging for His Merciful Light And hoping for a change In my little hole I began to rise With watery eyes As the I see the Sun Shine Looking down, I saw my shadow Confused but not shallow Woke up one morning with huge foot steps I was afraid, my face turned yellow Who are these creatures? I wondered as they came closer Big giants speaking some form of gibberish I didn’t move an inch, only the wind made me blink Closer they came and grabbed me by the neck "What the heck! I am innocent" I screamed But they couldn’t understand me when I spoke BOOM!! Stuck in a dark room I couldn’t breath I bega...
