Peace by Until...

I crave intimacy, I desire ecstasy

I need sensuality to help me breathe

To me live and feel free and flirt with mother nature

The way a real lady wants to be

The way a real lady should be

Play in a circle of birds

and dance with a string of butterflies

Wipe the tears of joy from my eyes

As I feed the fishes in the sea

It's important to be me and be allowed to be me

And people accept who they see, accept who I be

The laughable young lady

Well mannered, fun, vibrant and joyously happy with jolly

I indulge in life, embrace the good, as well as the bad

Endure the pain as If I never even once had

Felt pain, sorrow with rain

But I continue to live and keep the best of me

Not allow anyone to take my soul

Or mental happiness from me

I am now learning that it doesn't pay to be

upset or hold things within because sooner or later

it catches up with you and you leave this earth

thats how and why my brother left me

Whenever my problems occur I take a minute

to realize that they could cause me a slow death

So I look into the sky and asked to be once again blessed

with HIS concern to take care of this mess and I leave my burdens with HIM and I don't even second guess;

That the situation will not be taken care of

While I will continue to praise the LORD

Thank HIM with love

I'm all over the place with my thoughts like a curve

My life is a journey and my thoughts represent every word

I think about one thing until the next

What would life be like if language

couldn't be converted to text

But all of my thoughts seem to go right back to the first

My cravings, my desire, my need to be free

Play in a circle of birds, dance with a string of butterflies

Feed the fishes in the sea

This is all we should be worried about--instead of destruction

War along with death, mourning over the deceased

Life should be beautiful, immortalized and eternally free

Dreams of positivity, goals of productivity

A life that over all manifest peace.

Until...
