Rooms…

This room I must leave
so I pack my things
ready to vacate this place
to making in this big bad world.
In this room I have been trapped
red tapes crushed me
regret,
great expectations
false hope
tied me up to die
in this cold solitary room.
I left
hopped on a plane wing
ready to use my voice
explore
discover
over power
disillusion and bring back dreams
locked in that room.
So I made it
landed in cool conditions
I was so glad...
Now,
I sit in this room
and wander...

Chatty Chatty

Man!

But I mus' confess
mi wish
Yes mi wish

Man a would be rich

I wish I could stand up
and say:
'nuh fresh wid mi

I wish I could
tell you really
how I feel
tell you my dreams
reveal my misdeed
stand tall ten toes in
and speak
my truth
without a sense of defeat -
but man that gal
can chat -
How yuh mean!
Talk up the tings my girl!

With Your Whole Heart

With Your Whole Heart

With your whole heart
be yourself
see yourself as you truly are.

With your whole heart
speak your truth
tell your story even if no one follows you.

With your whole heart
give of yourself
love with a love that will never end.

With your whole heart
do not cower
but keep fighting with heart and courage.

With your whole heart
see the beauty
under the trembling rot of decay.

With your whole heart
know thyself
and wield your weapon based on your art.
