Do it with LOVE

Everything you do, do it with love. There is no reason to do something with a half effort. If you're gonna do it with an half effort why do it at all? Weather it's learning something, school, relationships, work, etc. don't waste anyone else's time and most defiantly don't waste your time. A wasted opportunity is one of the worst things you could waste. 

Who we are...

We are what place in front of us. What we watch, listen to, and allow to consume us for we consume it. Be alert!

A Dreamers Dream

What's your dreams?

Just falling in love with cities you've seen in tv screens?

Why not make it a real thing?

Go ahead dance in the middle of time square.

Let the winds of the coast blow against your hair?

Just kick your feet up on a cruise in the middle of no where.

Be adventurous; climb the rocks, get sand in between your toes.

Live free with no worries or woes

In the end it's gonna be the life you chose.

You get one life to live, why not give it all that you can give?

Equality for me?

You're standing there..

What's your deal?

Why do you look at me like that?

Is the color of my skin fearful to you?

The style of my hair not suitable to you?

You give me a vibe that doesn't feel pleasing..

You think this life I live is easy?

It's people like you who don't know but rather assume...

You don't know a thing about me or what I've been through.

Why don't you ask? Or Say hello.

Or are you that afraid?

At least have something nice to say. 

Better yet; just don't judge me..Don't judge me at all. 

I'm a human being treat me equally

Unnecessary noise

Let people talk. People are going to talk weather you're doing good or bad. People will be people. How you react to those people is soley up to you. You can find your supporters and have them help elevate your game/ life or let the haters and naysayers get the best or you. Again that choice is yours. 

Trust your journey

Trust in your journey even though you got a way to go

I know sometimes all the hard work doesn't show 

Truth is it really does show

You might not see it now; But like all things that blossom it takes time to grow

The finish line is closer than you know

But how would you find out if you never take a step and go

Looking Back

I just take a step  back and I have some views on some things

It's crazy how much a year can do when it comes to change

Nothing to own no dollars to my name

But I'm grateful for the struggle and how far I've came

Had choice to grow or stay the same

It was ultimately up to me to pave my own lane

Stuck to the grind, made it up out the dirt

Even with some pain and hurt I appreciate what it's worth

It wasn't easy

Working hard sometimes thinking I got nothing to show

But you gotta work hard that's just how it goes

responsibilities are worth more than you know

When you have right everything will fall into place

Again as I look back I'm in a way better place
