Ladies: Self Respect

A message to all my young ladies out there
Sometimes life can seem really unfair

That guy that proclaims he likes you
Could be there to make or break you

That guy that says you’re the one
Could make you feel pain, like being shot by a gun

That guy that says you’re his only pearl
Could be seeing another woman or girl

That guy that tells you the three words “I love you”
Could be living unfaithful and tell you things that are untrue

That guy that says he will always be there
Could cause you embarrassment, that make people stare

That guy that you feel you’re devoted to
Could increase that elongated queue

Self respect is the key
Because it brings out that inner beauty

That inner beauty that God truly sees
That should never be taken, mistreated or seized

Some men are only after one thing
I know you know, what I’m thinking

That one thing that interlinks to your body as a temple
Should be kept, and let no man tempt you

Build a strong relationship with The Lord
Failure to do so, a man can pierce the heart, like a sword

That same guy that was after one thing
In future, will realise your worth and see you shining

I repeat, Self respect is the key
It will keep you pure and free

Free from the hands of the wrong man
Be patient, don’t rush, there’s a greater plan

The plan that brings you to eternal life
And also blesses you with unlimited rife

Rife, meaning abundance with him
So your pure path doesn’t appear dim

Do not run after a man, even when you think he’s fine
He will be shown to you if you’re patient, in due time

Be proud to stand up and say “NO”
Don’t be tempted by that foolish man
Tell him you Trust no man but God
As he will bring you a wise man

My Hair Obsession

Before I beginning ranting on. I want to mention that this picture above is extreme but wonderfully beautiful. It's a work of art :D

I'm proud to say that my hair is 100% natural. I have decided that I will never perm it. The main reason is because I'm extremely frightened of my hair falling out :s. My hair is absolutely tough, my mum tells me this all the time and others do to. I guess I love my thick hair the way it is. I'm a bit of an old school person and my afro reminds me of old school hair when everyone was rocking and afro and it was the must have. Now everyone has ditched their afro and decided to drench it in chemicals (perm) and go for the straight look which I have to say is less hassle than afro hair. I may sound like a hypocrite but most of the time my hair is straight with the help of my good friend Miss Hair Straightener :). I think I've killed the life out of my good old friend. oops :S. Hehe. The reason why I've decided to straighten it is because I find my hair much more easier to maintain and I can experiment different hair styles. But an afro on the other hand lacks a number of hairstyles. It also hurts at times :((good sign of healthy hair i think).

I have been doing my own hair for the past 4 years now. I decided to start doing my own hair because I was tired of the hair styles my mum did. The huge plaits :s. I haven't been to the hairdressers in over 3 years which I think is quite impressive. Its not because I think I can do every style in the book, I just feel its unnecessary to waste money at the hairdressers when I can do my own hair. However I have to admit that I have had a few bad hair days...But who hasn't? :)

It takes me 1 hour every morning to straighten my hair. It takes me 2 hours if I have just washed it. Some people think I'm crazy because I spend so much time on my hair. Some also say that I could use that time to get an extra hour of sleep. I guess I do it because I love my hair and it slightly defines who I am. My hair is not too short and not too long. Its just right. My hair is like art to me. I love experimenting with it and trying new things. I Love My Hair.

Why Do I Write Poems?

When I created this blog page. My main aim was to talk about life in general. However I have slightly drifted from my initial idea and decided that my blog page should focus mainly on my poems. From time to time I will post up a few things about life in general as I promised. This also includes my psychotic obsession with chocolate and my relationship with Oreos ;)*Muahahaha*.I've been writing poems for a very long time but I didn't really take it seriously due to laziness and immaturity. However I decided to start writing again as my mind, opinions and beliefs have changed and I can proudly say that I am a sensible and mature young lady. I've also been thinking of writing a long/short story. Well when I am officially dedicated to writing :/(which shows that laziness is still present in my life....well 40%). *Cheeky Grin* :D. The fact that I miss my family sticks on my mind like a stain. Being surrounded by these 4 walls (my room) makes me think about everything and anything. I don't think I have mastered how not to think about anything and just make my mind blank but writing poems is as far as I get to making my mind blank. Writing poems allows me to express how I feel in an artistic way, it also allows me to reflect. Funny enough, writing poems makes me feel very relaxed even though words and ideas are constantly floating in my mind. I hope my poems send out a message to others who read them. There will be many poems/proses to come. Maybe a story when my laziness has reduced to 20% :p

Why Do Some People Fall In Faith?

It’s because some people are caught up
Caught up in this world where temptation lies

It’s because some people are full of deceit
Full of deceit that they dislike one another

It’s because some people are filled with rage
Filled with rage that it leads to hatred

It’s because some people are in love
In love with themselves, but don’t see the truth

It’s because some people are mislead
Mislead from that pure path above

It because some people don’t care
Don’t care about life they begin to lose hope

It’s because some people are influenced
Influenced by many, many who are wrong

It’s because some people don’t believe
Don’t believe in the future to be great

It’s because some people are not strong
Not strong to fight dirt off

It because some people listen
Listen to music, which brings in negativity

It’s because some people dress scandalously
Scandalously, that they become vulnerable

It’s because some people are so immature
Immature, that it leads to stabbings, shooting, then death

It because some people are greedy
Greedy that they commit crime

It’s because some people care
Care about what others think of them

It's because no one is perfect
Perfect that they can be error-less

Why do some people fall in faith?
It’s because some people don’t have him

Who is he?
God

This is not a poem. This is just a young singer I discovered while browsing on you tube. She is such an amazing singer. Just an example of amazing voices that are undiscovered. This young lady also contributed to writing 'Party In The USA' sang by Miley Cyrus.

Obstacles Of Christianity

Deciding to become a devoted Christian is hard at times
Its like throwing away something precious like a dime

That dime being the temptation of the world
This temptation holds us down just like a hurl

It strikes us vigorously, and blinds us from gold
That gold being God, our saviour our Lord

We make him unhappy, we disobey him
But in ultimate love he forgives the sin

The sin we commit that leads us astray
Leads us so far that our minds are away

Away from the truth that could lead us close
Close to our destiny that he has chose

This destiny before our birth, he has foreseen
Its like time that passes that we can’t redeem

Choosing to become a Christian, is your choice alone
But the truthfulness of God, you should not condone

This Christian walk needs determination, that’s the key
Holding your head up high, and walking very bravely

So you can walk to that eternal life, to his kingdom above
To be with alpha and omega, our Messiah, our God

Finding The Right Person

Being in a relationship can make you feel wanted
But sometimes the bad feelings can make it seem haunted

Some people may find it hard to realise, or even say
Some people prefer not to experience it, I must dismay

Don’t be fooled by the feeling of lust
Or else your heart can be crushed into dust

The person you say you love
Can be as pure as a dove

And the person you may hate
May be always in your face

Picking the right person can be an obstacle at times
But finding the right one, can make your heart shine

However, the meaning of love must always be there
So that God brings the right man/woman to instantly appear

Wait for Gods Time, His time is the best
And that person you find, you will never detest

Why Should I Try?

Why should I try if I don’t get anything back?
Why should I try if I get pushed off the tracks?

Why should I try if all they do is lie?
Why should I try if they make me want to cry?

Why should I try if they won’t wipe the slate clean?
Why should I try if they are intentionally mean?

Why should I try if they don’t understand me?
Why should I try if they don’t want to be free?

Why should I try if they don’t give me respect?
Why should I try if my path and theirs disconnect?

I will try because this walk is tough
I will try because I receive Gods love

I will try because God is my only hope
I will try because God can take me home
