Shadow of Lies

So I'm walking down the street

and it's a slight breeze

so I look to the shadow on the side of me.

I check my hair and I'm good.

So I'm thinking my hair is ok and not messed up

but when my sister hands me the brush

I already know what's up!

And all this may seem irrelevant

but the truth is, people lie like shadows.

Or vice versa but so what

either way they both lie to us.

The thing that really gets to me is

when the liar is someone you're cool with.

I'm thinking everything all good with you

like you were telling the truth

but you lied to me like a shadow on the street would do!

My shadow showed me that my hair looks fine

and I'm alright but really it just lied.

But ya'll keep going with ya'll shadow of lies

I just know I won't lie to me

I'm 5'1 not 5'3

and I don't sing or rap I write poetry!

But that's just me

You're shadow of lies won't defeat me

I'll keep living with every bit of ease,

but lying is just so ugly!

I mean, you can put on an outfit and just be bad.

Still at the end of the day you gon be mad

cause lying ruined the outfit you had

I send a special thankyou to everyone who's lied to me

you protected me

and help me build my guard for the next liar I meet.

But karma..karma should be a liar's worst enemy

and you can take it from me

cause I've witnessed and experienced

so yeah I'm a little bit of a hypocrite

cause I tell white lies

but lets face it, the truth can be ugly too sometimes!

Karma goes around and comes around

and it hurts when it hits you

and at the end of the day you're going to wish you told the truth.

And I'm not specifically speaking to any of you

but here's what liars should do

step out the shadow of lies into the truth of light

and see where that takes you!

Forever and a day

Me and him were running errands one evening
and we stopped at a Walgreen's
cause nature was calling me.
When I was done, I came out and he smiled at me
and, I don't know, I guess that got to me.
He waited for me. Patiently, unselfishly
something that not everyone does
and because of that I know for a fact
that with him my heart will always stay intact.
It won't fall apart or break into pieces
and I know this cause he is here to stay
but not for long, just  forever and a day !

My Fishys ! :)

Whew ! It took me forever to put a frame around these 10 pics so I hope all of you enjoy them ! These fish were a gift from my dad to me and my brother . I was doing some major cleaning when he brought everything to the house so it was nice to stop for a minute and setup the fish tank with them ! :) It was the first time in a long time this house felt like a home to me so I'm really going to cherish these fish ! Enjoy the pictures !

Quote of the Day :)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson
