yes, i'm at peace .
sometimes we forget that this world is ours & we too often forget that . we stupidly lend ourselves to society and what it pushes on us . we have a choice, we have a say-so ...in so many ways .
i am four days facebook free . i am so tired of being "connected" all of the time. i am so tired of being addicted to a place that is so self-centered & nosey . people can see what i'm doing without even speaking a word to me . people can make judgements and assumptions about my personality based on a few "clicks" of a mouse . based on my status ? based on my "info"? it seems like people can only communicate through these networking devices , but who can blame us ? Ever since I entered high school, my generation has only known black planet, myspace, facebook, aim, twitter, formspring and BBM . We dont know any other ways to get to know one another . Well, i challenge you to communicate in more "personal" ways . when you see someone, speak in person . call someone ...hear their voice, duh . why Internet ? WE ARE NOT ROBOTS . you have a choice .
we are free to love . that is one of the most courageous things to me because you put your heart on the front line of battle for someone . i am free to love who i please with open arms and dust myself off when or if things fall apart . i mean honestly, isn't that what it's all about ? breathing in someone else's suffering ... trying to relieve them from pain because you care ? giving someone joy and a sense of security ? blessing someone with a taste of what God has for us ? society breeds cowards . small people, who dress their hearts in cheap armor and bubble wrap . a strong heart is only such after a testing & tedious work-out . i licked and swallowed any animosity i had towards people a while ago ... it had a faint taste of molded bread lol . now is the time for unwavering, brave, passionate love . society generally has no authority in this matter . for'real .
sometimes, life can get HARD . i mean, HARD . i always feel bad for atheist because they have nothing to believe in other than this world . they hold on to society . let me tell you, that's how your hands get frostbite . without faith in God, life loses it's purpose and emptiness consumes the spirit . Really, with a companion in Jesus, things don't seem as bad . We are often times scared when things change because we do not know what's next . I have recently started to embrace the concept of "possibility" ...instead of running from it like a coward, we need to be excited & waiting to see what happens next . emotions happens. tragedy happens. hurt happens. you cant get rid of it ...but you can definitely upgrade your outlook on things :]
mirror, mirror on the wall ... screw you .your glass that slices the soul like ice cold box-cutters . girls sheild their face from you to hide from the pain, the hurt, the disgust that looks back at them . girls shield their mind from the torment that is ... mirrors .mirrors , mirrors ...where for art thou compassion ?your levi's and fitted caps .you crotch-holdin, fresh line-up havin' soul sucker .your lies . your manipulation . your cheating . your ruthlessness ;you make a girl look at you and see dehumanization . you make a girl cringe at her reflection .mirror mirror , what i wouldnt do to destroy you ?billboards promoting perfect , cutting the confidence of millions of girls .music media murdering all of the effort that mom put in saying, "youre beautiful" .reflecting inperfection with logos and love .hoodrat glass, scraping against confidence until it bleeds .God,please remove the mirrors from my sisters .cast all mirrors on me ! i'll take all the lashes and beating for them .i love them with all of me and i can take whatever those mirrors dish out .servings of discontentment, worthlessness, & deteriating heart ... ill consume it .God,please remove the mirrors from my sisters .cast all mirrors on me !let them see how beautiful they are .let them see how brilliant they are and their self-worth .give them peace of spirit .turn all mirrors in my direction .you have made me in your image and ill take the spear in my side for my sisters .arms outstreched and head held high for my sisters .please Lord, can we melt the mirrors ? dedicated to everygirl who has ever felt unworthy of love .
