“Now, now how come your talk turn cold
Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryin’ to grab hold of what you can’t control
Now you’re all floss, what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now I’m all hopeful
Every man want to act like he’s exempt
When him need to get down on his knees and repent
Can’t slick talk on the day of judgment
Your movement’s similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how your whole style bent?
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play innocent
Always want to take it to the full out extent
Always want to make it seem like good intent
Never want to face it when it’s time for punishment
I know that you don’t wanna hear my opinion
But there come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don’t change then the rain soon come
See you might win some but you just lost one.”

you saved me and showed me that life
was much more than being some foolish man’s wife
showed me that love was respect and devotion
greater than planets deeper than any oceans
my soul was weary but now it’s replenished
content because that part of my life is finished
i see him sometimes and the…
not finish yet.another wip. i get so lazy toward the end of paintings. gah
I consider myself a crayon…I might not be your favorite color, but one day you’re going to need me to complete your picture
OMG I CAN’T. LMFAO
I hate it when celebrities get on TV and tell us to donate to some fund…
Bitch, you make 12 million a movie and I make $12/hr. You send money.

“REALIZE THE REAL LIES”
Too many of us fall in love with lies that people personify not realizing the signs that they only mean us harm
You know that lie of “I Love you” after he blackens your eye and finds pleasure in your cry
Or the kick he gets out of breaking you down piece by piece only to make you feel as if you’ve lost it
The lie of just take one sip “sweetie you won’t get addicted” that very night stumbling your way to the toilet throwing up your emotions
The lie that witch craft and voodoo can get you anything knowing that only God has a power that surpasses all
Those whispers in your ear telling you you’ll never break the cycle, “Counseling and rehab won’t help”
The friends who laugh and murmur behind your back as they watch you struggle to live right
Daily pep talks you give yourself, saying it’s okay to live in your sin for now because your parents are saved
The infamous line “I’m grown” since you’ve turned 21 but your still in momma’s house not paying a single bill
It’s okay to live in my lust because I was once a victim of molestation and abuse
Harassing pedestrians for money to get my next fix because God can’t satisfy this void I feel inside
