Wanderer

Sleepless Nights

Awake is my Mind 

While everyone else slumbers

Im going under

While this world keeps revolving 

My feet are stalling 

Im constantly wandering 

the hours squandering away 

before I know it, its the next day

and the chance at getting a handle on this life 

has gone away 

Gone are the days of routine 

A lot of life seems mundane 

even trivial

All I'm trying to do is maintain 

a bit of sanity in this living hell

Trying to find an out 

to this timeless prison 

This whirlwind I've been spinning in 

and Living in for months 

Im tired of waking up 

only to feel Im not awake 

And that I haven't really slept a day 

since you left. 

Its like my breath 

went with you when you took your last 

And I cant seem to get it back 

I lost track of my plan 

Not quite sure how to land

When I didn't even know I was falling 

Praying I'll hear my calling 

but not a sound yet 

I fear Your voice has left me

Lord, Don't forget me

Thats all I ask 

Please Forgive my lapse 

in judgement 

Keep me in your covenant 

and don't  let me wander forever 

I may be doing alright 

but I know I could be doing much better. 

Floetry for the Youth

Sometimes
I look around and I find
this world is shameless
You people do a lot of talking but it's aimless
Y'all talking just to be famous
But me. I'd rather remain nameless
To be Honest
As long as you're willing to hear me
I don't need you to see me
I want you to feel me
I'm speaking clearly
and from the heart right now
People are getting weary
and it's kinda dark right now
The world is living in a cloud
of misconception
in the very midst of deception
without a clue
I speak the truth
and yet these dudes are mad at me
Well go head and be mad then
A has been
that ain't what I'm looking for
so go on and dive in
to that crowd that you've grown so accustomed to
I'ma stand out and spit something that'll really reach this youth
I'ma use these tools I've been given to be diverse
Write to inspire future leaders of this earth
Not more Lil Wayne's and Gucci mane's
who's only intentions are to make it rain
We need great minds who use their brains
and not the coke game to get ahead
You ain't gotta slang yay to get ya kids fed
That's just the excuse that you're using 
Yeah I'm sure them brand new shoes that
you just bought yourself
and that platinum Rolex sitting on ya shelf
are feeding your kids well
Whatever you tell yourself
to sleep at night
But when it comes to my life....
I choose to live it right
so this is goodnight
to all you players of the game
Y'all go head and maintain
that image of money and fame that you've projected
I'ma sow my wealth into something worth the investment
Sit back and watch what I been blessed with
as it multiplies
My love for this spoken word
Unlike Romeo, it never dies.

Just my thoughts

"We all have these desires in our hearts. Dreams that we strive for. Just be careful bcuz God isnt the only one who can place desires in our hearts. The devil can too. It takes wisdom to know the difference. And the only way to obtain that wisdom is through a deeper spiritual connection with God. Seek Him."

A quote about positivity and negativity

"Living a life filled with negativity is like a pond, stagnant, not going anywhere. Always stuck in the same spot. No one really wants to be around you.

A life lived in Positivity is like an ocean, ever flowing, and going anywhere and everywhere the current may take you. 

And you soak up all the beauty that is within you. Others come to you to feel good. Sit by you. And are happy to be around you. 

Which would you rather be?"

Graced by Peace

I will never forget the day when
this beautiful butterfly with the broken wing
alighted upon my hand and then
for a moment remained there
like an angel as she stared into my eyes

I her. Her me.
A unity. A brief moment of clarity
Such a rare thing to see
Blessed to have had the opportunity
to be graced by her presence
the essence of peace

Prayer

Dear God,
I know it's been a minute since we've spoken
but if you'll hear me out for a moment
I'm broken and I need you
I'm hoping you'll come to my rescue
Just one more time
I'm on my knees and I'm crying
I'm praying you'll find it
in your heart to forgive me
I haven't been me
for so long
I don't know exactly at what point it all went wrong
But I need it to be right
Somewhere along the way I lost sight
of what I needed to do
I lost sight of You
The pull of this quick sand
that is the world drew me in
Now I feel I'm drowning
and I need You to save me yet again....

Rhyme or Reason

My first thought of the day turned into a poem as usual. :)) 

So I thought Id share it. 

It Must be the Poet in me. 

Everything must flow off the tongue easily and ryhme

otherwise whats the point in speaking....

If nothing I say or has any rhyme or reason?

Impact

What can I do to make an impact? 

First Thought of the day.....

I wanna touch the world 

I wanna move the Earth 

with these hands

I got a plan

But I gotta put it into action 

I cant make a difference 

If all I'm doing is acting like I care 

I gotta get out there 

and share the Love 

But will Love be enough 

to make a change? 

Lets hope so.... 

Quote about Inspiration

"YOU INSPIRE ME. I INSPIRE YOU. WE INSPIRE THE WORLD." ~Brianna C Carey

Words of a hopeless romantic

I don't care if you got enough money to make it rain....
I prefer the sunshine
and this smile you keep on my face.
I wouldn't mind if you were mine
I mean.... Im Just sayin

THANK YOU....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE INSPIRE ME
AND IGNITE A SPARK IN ME THAT LEADS
TO A BLAZE OF CREATIVITY
A FIRE THAT WONT CEASE
I MEAN....
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
I AINT GOTTA SAY NO NAMES
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Baby You Got It (That Type)

You got the type of kiss
that's like instant bliss
A feeling that lifts me to a place of no gravity
You got that type of grip on me
Tight. Like I cant break free
no matter how hard I try
I mean...why on earth would I
You got that type of voice
that has me feeling like SWV
Weak
Knees shaking, I cant speak
Speechless.
That's how your loving leaves me
Ceaseless.
The things you do to please me
It completely blows my mind
before I even know it I'm
watching the fireworks
Immersed in you and I
Transfixed on your every word
Captivated I cant deny
You got the type of eyes
that just pierce right through me
deep down in my soul you move me
Our chemistry is that of a dream
I never thought I'd awake from
to see it with my own eyes I'm overcome
overwhelmed with emotions
and I'm hoping you feel the same.

Singing Sweet Songs

Woke up this morning feeling free

Singing sweet songs 

Through another day I made it 

My heart beats on 

My soul rejuvenated 

I could have given in 

at anytime to bitterness 

and negativity 

But I chose to rise above and just 

fuel this Positivity 

For those who wanna sing with me 

Sing sweet and never sour 

'swing low sweet chariot' 

Coming on the fifth of every hour 

to carry this 

Heart of mine home 

My happiness is my very own 

Though my soul is prone to sadness 

I've been known to fill these lungs with gladness 

and breathe Peace 

May this Light of mine

never cease to shine 

and inspire kindness 

I find that 

the more I give 

and the less I take  

Love begins to shape my world 

into something beautiful 

Don't let greed make a fool of you 

Don't let the minuscule things in life 

lead you to compromise 

Your integrity  

for what may only be immediate gratification 

Me, Id rather be patient 

and await the much greater blessing 

that God will place in 

these hands of mine

Until then I sing this rhyme to thee 

A melody of thanks 

for what I've been given 

As I continue livin with a smile 

Grateful all the while.... :) 

Words of encouragement

If you had a hard day today
I just wanna say.....
It will get better.
Hang in there.
Keep ya head up
That rain will let up eventually
But for now....
I'm out.....Peace.

Beautiful Morning

I wanna go for a walk and breathe in the fresh air. 

Run my fingers across the morning dew 

on the leaves of the trees I walk through. 

Smell a flower or two. 

Smiling as I think of you. 

You are a part of all of this beauty that I see now. 

Blessed am I to witness how 

the sunrise seems to shine even brighter. 

The sky a lighter shade of blue. 

Only you could do that Mommio, 

take something that already shimmered and turn it to Gold. 

I miss you 

but as I walk through these flowers and trees 

watching the birds and the bees 

who stoop happily upon the plants 

I cant help but feel you the most there 

And that makes life a little easier. 

I'll never stop needing you here. 

But its becoming clear as I lay here in this grass 

looking up at the sky thinking of my past, my future, 

and hoping for the best 

I realize that you never really left 

At least not in spirit. 

When I close my eyes I can feel it. 

If I listen close as the wind blows in my ears I can hear it....

the sound of your voice and it calms me. 

I love you Mommy. 

Until we meet again 

I'll be the woman you raised me to be. 

Do my best to stay happy. 

Breathe life in and exhale the bad. 

I am blessed to have had 

A Mother like you for the time that I did. 

And I am thankful for this. 

I still miss you deeply 

but as long as this heart of mine keeps beating. 

I will walk. 

I will push on. 

Hold my head up and be strong 

like you taught me. 

That is my promise to you. 

No matter what I go through. 

I Love you Mommy. 

FIRST THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

A STILL VEHICLE WONT TAKE YOU PLACES! 

If I want to be successful I cant do that without actually putting forth an effort and trying with all I have. Actions are required to obtain my dream. I cant go anywhere if I don't move!

Quote about Impossibility

"When people tell me something is Impossible, I respond by saying....

IMPROBABLE BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE." 

~Brianna C Carey

Quote about View

"My Outlook on life determines my Outcome in life."

Quote about Positivity

"Where your thoughts are, your mind, heart and soul will be too.
Turn your thoughts to the positive to make yourself a better you."

Quote about Character

"The true testament to someones character is what they choose to do when no one is looking. It's when you do something for someone that will have no benefit to you what so ever. That is when you know someone is a truly Good person."

Can You See What I See?

I wonder....

through these turbulent seas 

The Wild ocean breeze 

Are you able to see me? 

And if, through these currents that face thee 

You were somehow able to swim; would you save me? 

Or would you leave me stranded? 

Love isn't always the way we plan it 

But I need to know you'll be there 

When I'm gasping for air

I need you to breathe 

Life into me again

Love me the way I've never been

As I look into your eyes 

And you gaze into mine 

I see a time where the winds have silenced 

The turbulent seas that once enveloped my soul have come to a calm 

As you hold me in your arms 

I know harm has no place where we are

I am safe where I lay 

and the scars that once burdened my heart 

have gone away 

I wonder as you look into my eyes 

Can you see the same?

Feel the Boom

As I sit here in the dark 

The sound of my heart 

resounds through the room 

Like speakers 

But can hear the boom?

Quote about the Little Things

"The things that people think are meaningless 

Are actually the things that mean the most!"

Poetry....

My poetry 

is a brief glimpse into the depths of me 

That I've allowed no man to see 

For me to open up is a rarity

So if you really want to know me 

Just open your eyes and read....

The Earth Speaks

As I look around
at the Earth around me
The ground beneath my feet
It speaks
The birds surround me
and carefully I listen
So sweet is their song
Yet it longs for the Love that's gone missing
The Peace that use to exist
The Respect for Mother Nature and her Children
I feel the wind softly kiss my cheek
a tear falls
I fall to my knees
And I call "when did it come to this?"
My heart hurts, my soul bleeds
for those neglected
Empathy for those who are rejected
for their beliefs
When did we become so disconnected?
There's such a lack of compassion
A lack of action when it comes to Kindness
Only concerned with self and not others
That's blindness
Such disrespect without regret
There's been a disconnect
How soon we forget whats important
Though the Vision is blurred
and the dream a bit distorted
I can still see it there
I gotta believe we still care
I know it cant be just me
out there praying for world peace
In a time of such hatred
Might sound crazy to some
but to me its second nature
"You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one..."
So as I sit here in aspiration
Head adjacent to the Sun
in all its Glory
Humbled by the beauty and Pain
that is the Earth's story
The Sunlight hits my face
and I am reminded of the time that
I have left to make a change
And I Will....

Seeking my Dream

I look to the night sky 
Through these eyes of mine 
I see a dream 

yet I cant grab a hold 

Its just within my reach 

But the vision is so bold 

So I seek clarity 

A moment of peace 

Lord show me what it is that you see

So that I may succeed 

Not only fulfill the desires of me 

but be who you want me to be as well 

Take me out of this hell 

If only for a minute 

And let me spend it

With you

Quote about relationships

"You cant blame the new guy for what the old guy did years ago...
but on the same hand...
You cant expect a new love to fix what an old love has broken."

~Brianna C Carey

Side Effects

This heart of mine
can be a tad naive at times
They say Love is blind
But I say Love is kind
when you find the right one
But the wrong choice can be like a gun
aimed in your direction
You try and guard your heart for protection
but it fails
Your heart shatters
Like the sound of nails hitting the floor
As you try and gather the pieces
Your hands to your face as the tears pour
You're speechless
It's like the air has left your lungs
In an instant all you worked for is done
The fat lady has sung
Your Love has run its course
but of course you refuse to accept it
after all that you have investested
Even though you know it's reckless to stay
You cant bring yourself to walk away....
Because you believe somehow someway
that it will all work out
But the longer you hang around
the harder it gets
The more you forget your worth
The more you begin to accept the hurt,
the abuse, and the harsh words as Love
You pull the wool over your eyes
to disguize what you know to be true
because it's easier for you to lie
to yourself than to admit the truth
So you continue to be used
Until a part of you you never knew existed
Gives you the strength you needed to listen
to that voice thats been whispering for years "go"
All of a sudden you know
This so called Love is not what you were meant for
All of a sudden you realize you deserve much more
then you head toward that door
and never look back
but the fact remains
the pain you endured still exists
The side effects of what was once bliss linger
and forever hinder the way you Love
the way you open up to another one who wants your trust
Its hard to do
Even when every part of you is begging you to
just give it a chance
Experience true romance
get a glance at what Real Love is
Let him embrace you in his arms
Envelop you in his kiss
if only for a moment
so you can know that
what you believed to be impossible
Really does exist....

MR AND MRS JUDGEMENTAL

DON'T JUDGE ME 

WE ARE ALL WALKING THIS PATH IN LIFE AT A DIFFERENT PACE! 

BATTLING DIFFERENT DEMONS 

FIGHTING TO KEEP THE FAITH 

GET YOUR OWN LIFE STRAIGHT

BEFORE YOU GET ALL IN MINE 

REMEMBER YOU WERE A SINNER TOO 

ONCE UPON A TIME....

Sun Prayer

As the sun rises

I look to the light it emanates  

and I smile as it touches my face 

Its warm rays 

kiss my cheek 

and I pray....

Overwhelm me with peace 

and prosperity 

Feed me with your Goodness 

Lord take care of me 

Shelter me from harm 

Keep my enemies beneath my feet 

As I retreat into your arms 

where I know I am safe 

Hold my hand as I walk this place 

called Earth 

Make known to me my worth again

Take these broken wings and mend 

I open my eyes to the Life that is Him

Breathe in my Wisdom 

and Exhale my sin 

I accept my imperfections 

Learn my lessons 

and continue this fight 

For weeping may endure through the night 

But Joy....

Joy cometh in the morning.  

Heart of an Ox Soul of an Eagle

Another day 

Another moment in time 

Rise and shine 

Your mind awaits you 

Cease this opportunity to embrace you 

In all your excellence 

Make the best of this Life we Live  

Always remember to Give 

much more, and Take Less 

For you are blessed 

I know this test that we take 

its never easy 

I know you're about to break 

but you have to believe me 

It gets easier to go through 

God has not forsaken you 

So keep your head up 

Don't ever let up 

on the fools 

Keep making moves 

Doing what you do 

It'll all come together in the end 

When you're about to give up 

and throw that towel in 

I urge you to reconsider 

You weren't designed to be a quitter 

You're a fighter, 

You'll Never stop 

You've got the heart of an Ox 

The Soul of an Eagle 

Breakthrough all of the people 

who say "you cant do it" 

Whatever your dream is....pursue it 

Keep the faith, and maintain 

Always stay one step ahead of the game 

And Know that where hope lacks 

Your Will in fact remains

Quote about Judgement

"Each Journey is foretold, every mistake written, every moment of prosperity planned. Nothing is by accident, nor does any of it catch God by surprise. So before you are quick to judge someone, consider you do not know the path that one is on, nor do you know at what point in the Journey they have come to. Always choose Empathy, and Understanding over Critic and Condemnation." ~Brianna C Carey 

Judgement

You over there

With the hard stare 

in my direction 

Focus those judging eyes to your own reflection 

And tell me you are unashamed 

That you've made no mistakes 

Then  we can talk deception 

At least I admit my flaws 

And I pause to ask for forgiveness 

I'm unabashed enough to admit that

I don't have it all figured out 

I know learning is what this life is about 

So I walk with my head held high 

Passing by all the eyes that condemn    

I walk by with my smile and my sin 

Wearing these mistakes like they're the latest trend 

Representing these battle scars 

upon my heart without regard 

to your opinion 

Because you are in no position to judge my friend

It would serve you much better to Love in the end.
