Freestyle Friday, pt.1

Freestyle Friday, pt.1


Hmm.

I been there, I done that , I looked it in the eyes.
You might be overwhelmed and I might not be surprised.
You might be excited, but I’ve already been.
You might be a nice chick, but I can be a better friend.
You might make quite scene, but I make quite a queen
and I would stay by his side – pockets fat, pockets lean.
See I can take it at face value, for what it is today
And not a long time ago and a far, far away
What it is right now is, what it always would’ve been
Spiritual enlightenment, not a fad, a game, a trend
Not a surface scratching pastime
A mental manifest, so sublime
It’s deeper than you realize
and difficult to internalize.

Enough of that.

So who am I?

I’m neither foe nor friend
Enemy nor comrade
neutral…
This isn’t really a battle anyway, silly.
If we create our own destiny,
I came, I saw, I assessed.
And one day,
if the cosmic timing is right,
I just might
be back.
Keep the candle in the window.

The Lesson

The Lesson

Everything, everything is a lesson. You have to live the best life you can. Today. Tonight. Right now. You have to help people however you can. You have to be a light wherever you can. This is all you have. Right now is all you have.

A troubled life is only part of your story. Ultimately, what peole think about you doesn’t matter when you’re here or when you’re gone. What’s true does. So you have to make sure your truth is the best you have to offer. Our truth is relative to ourselves. You can’t live anyone else’s truth. It’s your own. Whatever that means to you, that’s how it is. We can’t spend our lives waiting to do better tomorrow. We can’t spend our lives wishing we did something or said something. We can’t spend our lives agonizing about what we did or said in the past. The present moment is what we have and that’s what we have to deal with.

Rest in Power, Michael Jackson. May the next realm offer you the salām that this world never could.
