Thoughts Through My Mind #1

At times I've felt lost & in need of some help, More times I've found myself falling farther from wealth, But I've always believed in my grind, I never doubted myself.

Things You've Done For Me (Part 1) by Jordan Akil Mitchell

You let me cry, reminding me I don't always have to be the shoulder. You saw my worth, at a point in life where I chose to ignore it. I was my own kryptonite, but you were the cure...

Just be writing how I feel 🙇🏾

Hope Anita Smith. One of my favorite poets, and she is from Ohio like myself. I remember reading her poem, "The Power of One," and loving the poem due to its accuracy of my grandmother despite the poem's simplicity. She is an amazing poet and writer, and I would definitely recommend reading her work including her books "The Way a Door Closes," and "Keeping The Night Watch."

I stay up all night, Writing poems and shit. They’re all about you, It’s you I can’t quit. I stay up all night, Thinking of you. I shouldn’t do that, Do you think of me too? I stay up all night, Telling myself to stop. But if I let you go, I let myself drop. I stay up all night, Repeating these words, They all leave my mouth, They fly like the birds. I stay up all night, Saying I’ll let you go. Over and over and over, But I can’t let you go. I stay up all night, You’re my life, You’re my breath. You’re also my strife. I stay up all night, I stay up all night. Good God, I can’t quit you, no matter how hard I try.

No need to fight because good things come naturally. I’m gonna get what I deserve in due season.🙏🏿✨

On lonely nights Through teary eyes, For when you feel Unsatisfied. A calm awaits, Between your hands. A God who hears And understands.

Rest (via thoughtsofit)
