I'M OVER NOW........The poem.

The piece that you are about to read is a continuation of the blog entry I'M OVER IT NOW.......the concept came from events in my life as well as stories I have heard from other women that I have encountered in my daily journey as a woman, as an advisor, and as a friend. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!


I’m over it now,
I refuse to be the collateral damage
The games you play with my emotions
Are over now…..I just wanted you to know that;


I’m over it now,
You may have fooled me once before
But eyes wide open
I’m ready to beat you at your game
It’s time for you to see that;


I’m over it now,
Time will show that
The woman I have become
Is the woman strong enough
To tell you that;


I’m over it now,
I have found an inner strength so true
Ready to see the things meant for me
I stand tall so
Take note of my words
And know that;


I’m over it now,
You chose to play with my heart
And now when it comes to you
It’s made of stone
So let me be
And try to understand that;


I’m over it now,
Your words without action
Had me under your spell
But that trance is broken now
Brother please believe that;


I’m over it now,
I had to step back
and take control
you can't break my spirit anymore
And now I have the courage to say that;


I'm over it now,
I've let go of the hurt
the pain is gone
but the memory stays
But have no fear
And know that;


I'm over it now,
I'm taken care of by the best
my heart is safe now
I've found true love now
rest assured and know now
that you almost severed my heart
But I 'm over it now......
And you lost.

I'M OVER IT NOW!

I’M OVER IT NOW!!! How many times have we said this time and time again only to realize that we are not as over it as we think we are? It’s hard sometimes to get over the hurt that others have caused you, the bad decisions that you made in the past, or even the nonsense that you are doing presently that cause the turmoil that you are experiencing.

Many times people complain about how friends take advantage of them, yet they continue to allow them to dump their troubles, and drama on them. People say they are tired of bad things happening to them all of the time, but refuse to change the things they are doing in order to get themselves out of the situations that they are in.

I think about this all of the time as I go through my daily routine…………how I used to be that person who needed a change, but continued to wallow in the same situations without attempting to modify my actions. I found out quickly that this doesn’t work. Though it is hard to make it through some of the storms that come with life, I had to understand that without a plan, and without putting that plan into action, I would never truly be able to say that I’M OVER IT NOW!!!!

I have found that through my struggles (some which were self inflicted) that I can make it, and that I am strong woman. My trials taught me that I can persevere and be a role model for so many who are going through the same thing that I have gone through. I know that my life speaks without me saying a word that: I’M OVER IT NOW!

Soooo, I have to say that looking within yourself, finding strength in God, and knowing that your steps are ordered will reveal the destiny that was created for you. I am a true believer that the things that are meant for your life are already known and your path has been created, you just have to make sure that you are ready to hear the directions that will lead you there. I believe that by doing those things will give you the strength to say: I’M OVER IT NOW, and give you the motivation to stay on the path meant for your life.

My Favorite Poem......written by ME!!!

Writing to me is so therapeutic. I know that if I have something to say, I can let it flow and will feel refreshed and relived afterward. The words that I are write are a window to my soul, and you are able to tell a lot of what I am feeling through my poetry and my journaling.

Sooo, because I have not written any new pieces that are ready for revealing, I thought I would post one of my favorite pieces. This is one I usually perform at local open mics, and I have to say that I have terrible stage fright, and I only do open mics from time to time so that I can begin to conquer my fear, and share my works with others in different mediums.

The follow piece is written about a Love so true, I struggled to put it down on paper. This piece is ever evolving....I am always editing it, always looking to have it reflect what else I have discovered about its true meaning.

I Feel Love

He suspends my mind

into a place and time

that I have never felt before.

 He makes love to my mind

and makes my body do things

that it has never experienced felt before.

Now I’m not talking about

the traditional feelings that one might think,

I’m talking about the way in which

he makes my knees weak.

He is so right for my spirit

my heart and my soul,

I know I am in love because

he touches me in so many

different places at the same time.

I ‘m not talking about physically,

I mean my heart

my soul and

my entire being.

He makes me feel so beautiful

and so needed that I am compelled

to make sure he has all he needs

even though he doesn’t need me to.

And because this man is so true,

he has many women checking for him

but none of them have what it takes

to capture his attention.

I have to admit

that he grounds my emotional flights,

and keeps me level,

he keeps me wanting more and more

even when we are not together.

I look at him and see a reflection of me,

I close my eyes and he is

the only one I see in my dreams.

And even though he is not yet mine,

I know that in time he will come

to see me as his queen.

I can feel the energy

that he sends my way when he looks at me

and I know that he will forever love me.

I can tell by his eyes

that that even though sometimes

he may get mad at me,

he is drawn to me,

and his heart will never leave me.

Other women try to

capture him physically,

but I have the best you see….

I have this man mentally.

I know you may ask

how can you wait patiently,

How can you see clearly 

the image of the man you want to see.

It’s because I’m waiting

for the one who is sent to me, 

the one meant for me and

the one who can satisfy my every dream.

It's Basketball Ya'll!

Well I had an eventful weekend....went to basketball games, took care of my youngest who was sick, and went to the laundromat which I have not done in YEARS ( my dryer died and I wanted kids to wear DRY clothing to school!!)

So what I want to talk about today is my kids basketball coach. I know that it is trying sometimes to deal with 5 through 7 year olds, and I know that you are volunteering your time, and you are not getting paid....... but my goodness do you have to text on your cell phone , talk to your wife who is watching the game, and yap it up with the "assistant coach"  ( during the game I might add) while these children are running up and down the court shooting at the wrong basket!! ( Okay only my 5 year old did that....but that's not the point!!!)

I mean the other team is executing plays and actually guarding the person they are assigned to guard. I mean these little kids are playing like the "Globetrotters" and our kids look like " The Generals"!! Sheesh! I want to get my money's worth too!!!! I want my son to learn to make the mean face while he guards his opponent, and not run around the court chasing the other team like they are playing tag.

I know this is for fun, and they are learning how to get along with the other kids....but can I get my $95 worth please? I'm just saying.

That's all for now.....
