This is for the haters

Who claim to be supporters

Cheering for you

While harshly judging you

They claim to be critics

As they break your spirit

Not realizing the damage

Their words have managed

Rattling your insecurity

Increasing your anxiety

Setting you on edge

As you wonder, Am I worthy of the stage

Now you have a creative block

Some sort of Mental block

You’ve Lost the creativity

Now you are Doubting your ability

All you want to do is express yourself

Work on your art and improve yourself

You may not be as good as one of the greats

But one day you might be great

You are hearing voices

Hey you wannabe

You ain’t got what it takes to be

The next Jay Z

Stage 2 setting in

As you close yourself in

Trying to isolate

Before it’s to late

Are youLosing your mind

Is this what happens to your kind

It’s a slippery slope

You ain’t got a rope

Which will pull you up

To help you stand up

To boost your self esteem

So you can get that personal win

Looking for inspiration

some sort of motivation

To help this blow to your emotion

To remind you, that you are worthy for all your dedication

You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself

You don’t need validation

To keep doing your creation

To please anyone

Cause you got close friends and family to look up to

Your biggest supporters

When your fail

Your biggest supporters

When you rise

Cause they don’t laugh or put you down

When you try

Maybe it’s to much to ask

For them to believe in you

Take away from their precious time

To support you

Or are they waiting

For you to blow up

So they can show up

With a sign, your number one fan

Since day one!

Your not angry just frustrated

That hard work is not appreciated

To show some decency

Towards a man trying to live up to his ability

All yo want to do is make them proud

For they have always been around

All you want is them to applaud

For all your efforts out loud.

Black Lives Matter

Music by: AShamaluevMusic Music found on Soundcloud: Inspirational Ambient - Uplifting Background Music Instrumental (FREE DOWNLOAD) Black lives matter Is a serious matter It’s not just a phrase But a strong case Against brutality Caused by white supremacy By those who promised to serve and protect Upholding the law Not realizing the devastating effect I have a dream So many people scream Famously uttered by Martin Luther King Fighting for this very reason To stand up against discrimination To end bigotry and segregation To be part of a civilized nation Where your not judged by the color of your skin Where you’re no longer a minority And there is equality Unfortunately it’s still a dream Cause we are living a nightmare of a reality You ask what’s the matter Black lives matter It’s not a fancy hash tag To put on a T-shirt Like some graphite art It is a strong message Representing the many affected, different ages Living in fear Wondering is this the year I get shot or beaten For asking a simple question Or crossing an intersection You’re filled with rage Cause one man took the stage To address this hate Kneeling to the anthem To shed light on this matter, Black lives matter Like Malcolm Now he is axed Cast away and isolated Cause he used his voice and presence To speak up against your ignorance To shatter your privileged arrogance On the subject matter, black lives matter How many deaths will it take To see a mothers heart break, ache See her child on the news Become a headline, breaking news Not for prizes or accolades But a photo, deceased due to hate Are you so blinded by the system That you don’t realize we live in a broken system Where whites can carry guns and protest But blacks can’t even go to the grocery store without a consent Are we really in a first world country Where politicians pretend to try To understand this grave matter Blacks lives matter Where they only care about their congressional seats Making fake promises of reform Making glorified speeches, we understand But when the time comes, they refuse to stand For the one matter, Black lives matter So have we really progressed as a nation What is the measure of our progression The technological advancements of our generation Are we that naive that we can’t comprehend The simple human interactions Are broken and divided Because one race is considered superior And another inferior That is not progression That is a nation in regression Cause we can’t address what matters Black lives matters!

A Reflective Period

Music by: AShamaluevMusic

It’s a reflective period

During this quarantine period

Regarding my character and behavior

On topics of sensitivity and candor

Not taken seriously

Is the image currently

Fueled by actions and moments

Of complete embarrassments.

Firstly I must apologize

As I do realize

I play a part, small or big

When being an absolute prick

I’m partly to blame

Assuming it’s fun and games

Using words not thinking

Whose hurting

Words are dangerous

They cut deeper

Then a knife through butter

Not realizing the person in front will suffer

Due to lack of common sense and character

We forget to be mindful for the simple things

Humility, generosity, kindness among other things

Quick to judge a book by its cover

Not take the time to read the first page

Cause the first impression is what matters

Maybe it’s the kid in me

Or the lack of maturity

Tarnishi  ng my personality

Trying to be goofy

We are all guilty of this

Not realizing that actions have consequences

Inflicting stress on mans mental state

Setting him up for depression

A life time state

Bullying is a real thing

Social media ain’t playing

It’s a fun way to connect

But socially there is a disconnect

People ganging up on an individuals

Not realizing they are being cynical

Are We trying to climb a social chain

While acting like a complete pain

Towards those who love us

But respect us to much to tell us

Time to step back and reevaluate

Before it’s to late

reflect and be straight

Before people start to hate

The attitude

And tell us, stay away Dude.

We live in a world full of sensitivity

As education and technology

Advance beyond our capability

We must think before we speak

Even though the first amendment states freedom of speech

But there should be a disclaimer

Read the room and social cues

Before you speak

It’s not too late to act your age

Apply knowledge

And move past days of college

Use your maturity and sensibility

Because we are part of a community

Our Deepest Fear

Inspired by a Poem: Our Deepest Fear Poem: Marianne Williamson

Music by: AShamaluevMusic

Music found on Soundcloud: Uplifting Piano - Beautiful and Inspirational Background Music (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Beautiful, strong and pure

Don’t let the world bring you down based on

Your gender, race, faith, sexual orientation

Or your political affiliation

You’re unique one of kind

With a strong conscious mind

It is our light, not our darkness

That most frightens us

Your kindness brings people together

When things don’t seem to be clear

Because it’s in your nature

To love, an emotion

That feels the heart with joy

But also great sorrow

When you lose someone dear making you hollow

We ask ourselves

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Stand in front of the mirror

See the reflection of a conqueror

One who has won battles of discrimination

Stood up to oppression

Sided truth during adversity

With every fiber of your ability

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God

You playing small

Does not serve the world

It only makes the hateful stronger

Because they have the power

To inflict pain

Cause you took the back seat again

Which is a shame

There is no one to blame

But you, for not standing up when we counted on you

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking

So that other people won’t feel insecure around you

Your vulnerability is the essence of your humanity

Having the fear of failure

Makes you rise higher

Speak up for those that matter

That is the strength of your vulnerability

A strong asset of your personality

We were all meant to shine as children do

Full of life and happiness

Filled with curiosity and bravery

As well as innocence and creativity

Being an inspiration to a nation

Following our emotions

Cause we were born to make manifest

The glory of God that is within us

It’s not just in some of us

It’s in everyone

And as we let our own light shine

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same

Because at the end of the day we may be different but we are still the same

Burning inside with a flame

To make the world a better place

At a continued pace

Together, as we are liberated from our own fear

Our presences automatically liberates others.
