Typical

People seem to make uneducated assumptions upon first sight
They assume that you’re a carbon copy of what they've come across before nothing more;
They don't ask who you are and what you're about;
They've already judged you without a doubt.
It's hard to impress when you've already been labeled;
Put in the same category as that guy who fleeted, mistreated, and cheated on you.
So you call me typical;

Because in your eyes you've met me before
Because in your world you fear there's nothing more
Because in your heart the pain the guy before me left endures;
But in actuality I'm his total opposite;
You've been hurt so many times you can't see;
Can't see thru the tears and the lames;
No longer able to recognize what's real from what's game;
It’s a shame I’m left to deal with the misplaced blame,
Your anger is directed at me as if he and I shared the same name;
So you call me typical

Yet just like women I've come across in the past;
I try to comfort you, and hope that the negativity that incites your emotions will one day allow someone if not me to break the barrier;
Hoping that you will give yourself a true chance at happiness, at love;
Understanding that without struggle and heartbreak you cannot persevere; Babe I'm here!
This ain't no sprint it's a marathon
And I'll walk with you arm in arm, hand in hand.
Cowards are typical, I'm a man!

Abandoned in a Familiar City

 

 

Titles are given but are received by who wants them

 

I was introduced to many who did without their titles

 

Yes i felt confused ; Yes i felt abandoned ; I wanted to understand WHY?

 

Some titles come with so much work that people feel pressure and no enjoyment

 

Guess What?

 

I grew up and received my own titles

 

I embrace and enjoy my present titles

 

Titles are given and i learned a lot from those who did without theirs

Tomb Jesus

 

Enlightenment is not a group effort

Far too often we look for validation, comfort, and approval in others

We forget that even Jesus had to separate himself, be betrayed by his “friends”, only to be cruicified and put into the tomb alone

All of those things were necessary in order for him to ascend into Heaven

There’s a takeaway lesson in all of that

Being unattached isn’t always a bad thing

Sometimes it’s necessary in order to level up

And that is how I’m choosing to spend my first quarter

Leveling up

Being unapologetic in who I AM

Getting everything with my name on it

Walking in my purpose

And whatever else I choose to do

Live on your own terms, even if it means you being alone
