i grieve
because
You wouldn't
Want me
to blame
myself
for
mistakes
I've tried
so hard
and faith
isn't about
trying
it's about believing
Thank you
for a day
you have made
my heart broken
my soul restless
but i retain hope
for if that goes
its all over
Fight
for it
Child
it's renewable
every day
Two days
Without hope
is like
Two days
without water
Grateful
for the
ability
to read
and not watch
To eat
plenty
and not
Want for anything
Privilege
Use it
For good
Don't abuse
What power
you have
In this day
of uncertainty
i hold out hope
in gratitude
That as much
As i doubt
You continually
Exceed expectations
Every obstacle
man lays
at my feet
You are there
to see me through
What you see
in me
i will never understand
I'm glad you do
Friends
i don't know
your struggle
Here's
to the knowledge
In faith
He will meet you
Vote
Pray
Release
Every
Fear
God
Is
Good
You
Hold
My
Hope
My
Dreams
Everything
Is
The
Hand
Of
The
Father
Pray
That
I
Be
Led
Instead
Of
Bearing
Something
Not
For
Me
Where you sit determines
What you see
What you see
Determines what you do
Dr. Dharius Daniels
I heard him preach yesterday
and it changed my perspective
I'm following my own advice
The best lessons I've received
Have come from those
I didn't like at first
I would be ashamed
To admit this
But it's the truth
If I truly want change
I'm going to have
To sit and be
Uncomfortable
With my thoughts
i didn't want to write
This post
God is having
His say
So today
i want to try
and understand
What I'm not seeing
Help me
Thank you
for your love
and dedication
to uplift
my spirits
and teach me
kindness
for seven years
you humble me
when i come here
i see the good
in the world
Thank you
you do more
for my health
than i could ever
express
Thank you
for loving
someone
Who didn't feel
they had much
to offer the world
This is not political
When did we lose
Our humanity
the capacity
to empathize
the will
to meet
each other
Where they are
not where
you think
they should be
I'm anxious
about the election
I may not watch
because my
mental health
can't take it
And that's privilege
Right there
Will America
Survive the strife
No matter who wins
Bigger question
Can we make our
Own conclusions
By reading
We lost our way
When we weaponized faith
Stopped caring
and looked
to talking heads
to do our homework
For us
I was advised
to say
The Serenity Prayer
everyday
because my
joy depends
on it
Thank you
for seven years
Here's to another
Seven
