Activities

Events that occur on a daily basis. Interactions that would be considered the norm and how they are able to shape our perception of the world and people. People come not only in all shapes and sizes but they are all unique in their own way. The impression we may have of a person also may determines how we may view race, religion and even ourselves. I will talk about something that has effected me and that has left a lasting effect on me.

Embers

The glow from the fire has dwindled to this little ember
that I am staring at today.

I had fought for my passions and right to dream.......................
No encouragement until the end ...............
I defied all the haters and stood strong..........
My inner fire ..........

My choices, a risk I knew I had to take to become myself,
to initiate the beauty inside of me ...............
Wonder what happened inside my heart when I met you that day........
You distracted me like a firefly and made me hope .............
the longing that I never dared to dwell on.....
LOVE.........

Yet you rejected me ......
Despite the 100 percent that I have given and
never obtained.

All of a sudden I stumble .......
walking up the stairs to my success.....
and come across obstacles that were never there before.

Trusted my heart that day when I let you have the power
to control my success...........
All the abuse you heaped on me .....
You never considered the hurt you would inflict on me......
Or the pedestal that you were placed on......
Why do you patronize?????? Blow on my FIRE!!!!!

No right to make the embers .......
of my dreams.........
My TRUE DESTINY!

Remorse and deep shame has filled me........
Doubting my heart .......
the one thing that I relied on .......
and failed me.............

Am I to be held in contempt for following my inner voice?????
My hearts' little whisper ?
For daring to dream, of a place on this planet?

You forget that you are a mere mortal.......
and like myself will one day be part of this very planet.......
ceasing to exist except in writings of history.........

We are equals you and I ........
The only loftiness was provided by myself.......
by my gracious respect of the place you held in my heart.......

that you will not hold forevermore
