Nina Simone Feeling Good

Just wanted to share something that my 13 year old daughter Acacia wrote last night. I look at my kids and tears well up in my eyes, because they have been blessed with the gift of words as well. Children are a blessing, and mine teach me something new each day. Silent Cries Heart beating, racing, and screaming Holding back all the pain inside She’s hurting you see Hiding behind that beautiful smile, while showing pride They told her crying was weak So she stood up on her own two feet Look into her eyes and tell me what you see The eyes reveal all the pain and misery that hides They say dreams are like silent wishes So sweet like kisses Her dreams took her far away. To a place where only love resides. But when she heard that loud buzz She knew they were over Back to that familiar place of hurt Those rude, nasty, mean comments still lurk She tries to remain strong as she can be As she sit down her heart tries to speak And it cries out that she wish she could just let go Holding back all those tears since years ago Tears fall down her cheek Down her face so cold and sleek She goes to her locker Wipes the tears ARE YOU OKAY? Voices heard from near and afar She puts on that faint smile and say YES So they will believe that she is okay And they cannot see her pain that is nestled in her heart. Written By: Acacia D.

I Never Thought I Would Know Love Again

I never thought I would know love again.... Til my eyes met yours and you captivated me with your intellect. We bounced words back and forth as though they were pure forehead kisses. I never thought I would love again... Til my actions dictated my moves, and my thoughts were surrounded by you. Wishing I just could be your thoughts to see if the feelings are reciprocated. I never thought I would love again.... Til my nights became cold, but the warmth of your words and voice surrounded me, and left me protected from the harsh brisk cold of winter. You were my plush blanket. I never thought I would know love again.... Til I saw your smile, and it was bright as the morning sun. It completely engaged me, almost darn blinded me but it was worth the view. The view of love. I never thought I would love again..... Til I felt your arms around me, and they embraced me so strong. I felt so protected. So loved, and at that moment that was the only place I wanted to be. Shielded from the world's harshness and coldness. I felt unarmed and disengaged from my surroundings. I was basking in the goodness of love. I never thought I would love again.... Til our bodies intertwined and we made love passionately. How our bodies reacted and we were in perfect harmony. We made our own music as our moans danced back and forth off of each other in perfect rhythm, as I received that perfect climax. I never thought I would love again.... Til I met you, and you turned my world around by simply being you. It didn't take outlandish gifts or all the money in the world. To tell you the truth. You had me hello. I never thought I would love again... Then I met you! Written By: ThaLyricalDiva January 22, 2011 ©Copyright Rikethia Clyburn 2012, all rights reserved

Thinking Back

Random Thought.... As a child, we always wanted to grow up. But now we realize that broken toys and lost pencils were much better than broken hearts and lost friends.

Men Need Encouragement Too

Random Thought..... Ladies...... We are always asking our men to be supportive of us, whether its through our goals we are trying to reach or just doing other things in general. We have to remember that the same thing we ask for we have to be willing to give. There are so many who go out everyday working hard for their family, and come home to a place of no love or support. Just a home of nagging, brutal arguments, and constant let downs. All men are not dogs, just like all women are not garden tools. So let's not compare each other to the next female or male. There are still some GREAT MEN out there women, but you have to make sure you can recognize them when you see them, and not see them through those eyes of hurt and pain that you have been through. Every man definitely at the same, as well as say every woman is not the same. Maybe if we change our words to more positive we could attract like things. Start speaking positive about men....say there are some good men.....and keep saying it to you eventually see it. SPEAK IT TO YOU SEE IT!!! So Ladies.....Support your man through his up's and down's, because whether they every voice it or not they need the encouragement as well.

My December

My December reminds me of the smell of fresh Christmas Trees, and how the house smells of fresh pine. The Christmas lights dance out in a distance from the small view I can get, and nothing but smiles over powers my face. It makes me think back of when I was kid, and I was so ready for Santa Claus to come. Now I get to sit and watch my kids open their gifts and watch their faces light up with excitement and happiness. The moments I call PRICELESS. I am so much in love with December and it is in love with me.

Need not worry about your reputation, For your reputation is merely what people think of you, While your character is who you are. Your actions speak so loudly that I can't hear what you say. This is has been the actions of those who have said, I will be there for you. However, as I turn around. I notice only a few standing. A hard lesson to learn, but a much a much needed one in this case. I have watched so many things over this past year and a couple of months that it even seems to make me still say WOW!! Not one phone call, not are the kids okay, do you need anything, not nothing. If not for me....how about the kids, because they are the innocent ones here. However, I guess they were just like my sperm donor when he cut it off with my mom. He cut it off with me. I saw the same thing manifest over again but in a more hurtful way, because my kids were involved. I tell you some people change with the weather, and you will see that they were only fair weather friends, or those who only talked to you because of who you were with. Was I hurt, maybe in the beginning, but I tell you God brought me through that disappointment. I am by far more stronger then any of those NAYSAYERS think. Or those who looked on this past year and wanted to see me crumble, but oh my GOD said NOT!! HE kept me. The prayers of the Righteous....avails much!! I ask for those who walked past me. Those who haven't breathed one word to me. Those who see you, but you know don't see you. I ask you to please do me the same pleasure of still not seeing me. I will pray for you, and ask God to never let you need anyone or to ever have to go through what I have been through. Because, if you were your only friend you will be disappointing to yourself. Never think that my situation today, can't be yours tomorrow. You are not above any circumstance or situation. Sn: With that being said, I AM MOVING ON AND MOVING ON FREELY. If you have found something I said to be hurtful. It was not done with a cold hurt or with malice. It was spoken from the heart and with sincerity and truth. PEACE
