Sometimes I want to write 

Because that’s the only way 

I can express all that’s on my mind.

But then I don’t 

Because nothings feels right.


I see everybody around me 

I try to make them feel seen 

But for all my good deeds & intentions 

All I had to show for it 

Was fights & disappointments.


When I could, I’ll complain 

But that doesn’t change anything 

So I decided to learn to express myself 

As respectful as I was

It led me to two things 

Being ignored & more fights.


When I choose to take the blame,

See the lessons and correct my mistakes 

Everything still remained the same 

Is this what stupid feels like?

Or am I going insane?


It feels like I can’t get anything done right 

And I know not to do wrong.

But isn’t that what’s left of my options?

Or at least that’s what I thought.


What do you do when 

It seems the closest people to your heart  

Are hell bent on frustrating you?

And the ones you love, 

Actually choose to misunderstand you?


What do you do when 

The ones you’re called for 

Fail to see you?

When those you’ve helped 

Have ignored you?

When you need help 

And it’s nowhere to be found?


What do you do?

When you don’t feel seen ?

When your best efforts 

Are behind the scenes?

And your self belief 

Is wearing thin?


Praise God 

Thank the Lord, and at all times 

Let his praises continually be in your mouth.

Choose Love!

When the enemy comes for your heart 

When offense tries to rip it apart 

Love still.

Pray for them & Intercede

Talk to God about them 

Pray for their needs 

Pray that God will bless & help them.
