What Kind of Man R U?

Monday, September 27, 2010

Believe me when I say this
Real men don't have to fake it, they are
Uncompromisingly
Noble, full of humility and strength beyond their
Obvious good looks
Bold
Rich with wisdom and embraces
Unity
Nothing is imspossible for this man because he relies on the One who is
Omniscient.

I was sitting at a cafe today and saw a young man with the most mesmorizing hazelish/blue/grey eyes. I complimented him on it and he unbashfully said thank you. This made me wonder, is this the first thing people notice about him? If it is, that's sad to me, because I believe there is more to a man then his physique, there's more to a man than what's in his pockets or bank account, I believe that there is something behind those eyes; those eyes that scream "SEE ME FOR WHO I AM NOT WHAT I LOOK LIKE" Anyway, so this young lad inspired this poem out of me today

Living the life of a revolutionary.

If you have a passion don’t stop until it’s fulfilled

Overcoming life’s tragedies, working through hardships

And out of it all comes betrayal and sacrifice

Passion comes from within, it could be a beautiful thing

Passion is the joy of life,

passion for sports helps us get better physically and through sacrifice we develop strength

Passion is the fire in the soul that burns within,

passion is something you never let go and it’s something that you’re good at

Living life within our passion is our revolution!

Sometimes

Sunday, September 20, 2009

Sometimes
I feel like I'm looking for something that no one could give me
and it hurts like hell

I accept that she's gone
I just have to live with it for the rest of my life

Sometimes
I feel like there's no healing in death
Death is what it is, and I accept it

I have to move forward now
But that's what I'm having difficulties with

I appreciate the tough love
but all I want right now is a hug
and to hear "baby you'll be alright"

Sometimes
I feel like I want to scream
but there's no air inside
I must face the fact that I'll always be a motherless child

I don't want you to pity me
I just want you to listen

Listen to the words never spoken
the tears never shed
the hugs never felt
the letters never read

Moments I've never had
Moments that pass me by

Sometimes
I feel like I've been secretly mourning all my life
but thank God feelings come and go
some bring joy some bring sorrow
temporarily my thoughts cast off
like a vapor in the wind

I'm back to reality
My mother's gone
but I know that I'm never alone
there's a greater Love that keeps me grounded
A greater Love
and I'm glad I found it
I'm glad I found It.
