Got to keep the Faith

Got to keep the faith is what has been instilled in me
I know that he got me and he won't ever leave
He's done so much in my life already
I continues to ease my pain when my heart feels heavy
Faith yes best believe I have
Cause when my grandmother got diagnosed with cancer, and we thought we lost my little cousin
He brought us two miracles and from then on we never left out of their sight without hugging
He knows what he's doing and all he wants for us is to know that he is worhty to be praised
And I don't just mean only on rainy days
He does what he has set on his mind and he also comes on time
Callem when you need him
I promise he is going to come running
He answers you right then but the blessing sometimes is slow coming
Reason as to why is cause he is trying to prepare you for it
so if there ened up being pain he knows you won't run from it
He has to be sure that he can trust you with that gift
He has to know that you won't give the devil a lift
We fall short everyday that we are here
But forgives us even before we committ a sin and he wipes every tear
I LOVE this gift he gave me the TALENT of WRITING
cause without it I don't know what I would do
how I wouold release pain and let people know about the things I've been through

I'm lost

I'm lost and at the same time irritated
I know that we can't predict what is going to happen minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years from now
But I think I should've we should've been informed about something, my concentration has been throwed off
I need to find a way to gain it back
GOD knows the frustration and I'm hoping he eases my mind
I'm trying to continue to go with the flow of things praying that this devil doesn't shatter my dreams

I think I'm going to

I think I'm going to find the courage to do this
to make you notice me but how it's going to be done I'm clueless
I hope I find it because it's a chance that I want to take
to get to know you better up close in person instead of trying to read you from far away
Or should I say from across the room or better yet as you wait in the hallway to enter class
Ur smile is what caught my eye and made me think the question "Why not?"
go for it now maybe I will but until then I guess I'm at a standstill
I tried this once before and it didn't turn out the way I'd hoped
Maybe this time will be different and we are able to hangout and joke around
I hope I gain the courage to do this because if I don't then I might not ever get another chance
And if this chance is given up I'm going to be stuck seeing you at a glance

I use to always hear the saying "Watch how you treat people" and that it will always come back on you regardless if you treated them right or wrong....I watch the world and the people in it...and see that we treat people as if they don't deserve respect...we go on  hurting one another as if it doesn't have an effect on us...from the friends to family...and on to the people we don't even know....Sometimes I think parents wonder as we leave home how we treat people when we are away from them...I think they wonder if they have done enough and raised us right to become the good citizens of this world we live in today.....when I leave the house I wonder the same thing..When I see someone needs help with something and I can lend a hand as I'm doing so I think about my mom and I say to myself that I wonder if she knows that she has raised a respectful young woman and when my deed is done I walk away knowing that my mother has done her job and I have done mine because I'm always going back to the talks that we have and I use those everyday that I'm away from her even if it isn't nothing but a few hours

Freestyle

I use to write raps just to past the time but now I do them whenever one comes to mind
just so I can keep skills tight fresh to def like a pair of new shoes or money tied up in a rubberband just so nothing won't get loose feel like I'm in a booth I hear this beat in my head and the words coming out but instead of me speaking them I'm typing instead see I tried to let them know something new about me I'm not just the quiet student that stays glued to her seat and her eyes on the teach nawl I write rhymes when I don't have the permission to speak just so my thoughts won't get cluttered I gotta keep them smooth like butter cause when its time  to present I won't have the audacity to utter or stutter better yet slip up and say the wrong thing

Take that chance

Take that chance don't give it up
to somebody that's not going to handle it with care like us
That chance is only going to come once in a lifetime
and you only have one life to live so with this chance you better shine
bright like the lights beaming down a run way you know how we do
Shine until they tell us we too young to play in this game
A chance is given to everyone and it may not be the same
But as long as you take that chance you will live this life knowing
you just didn't leave it to someone that wouldn't have handled it the same

Look in my eyes

Look in my eyes tell me what do you see
Can you see the pain I feel or do you just see me
Sometimes I wonder when people look at me and into my eyes do they see what I see
I always tell them to take a look at me when I know I'm feeling low
Just to see if they can tell that I'm going through a dark tunnel
Look into my eyes cause I'm trying to tell you something
My words can't express it cause I'm furious
When I tell them to look into my eyes and tell my what do they see I'm just curious

Mind drew a blank

My mind drew a blank when I was trying to write my first paper
heart was beating fast because I felt that I wouldn't have anything to turn in
Went to the library the day before it was due
stared at a blank screen until thoughts from my mind were drew
I finally came up with something and was done around 7:30
I wonder what the outcome will be and will the criticism hurt me
I hope whoever reads it at the end the would want to read more
because when I get those type of readers writing for me is never a bore
