 The Risk of Living

by, Frederica Coleman

The risk of living is not death at all.No thrills in jumping with no chance to fall...Life without death is not life at all.

 "By faith"

by, Trevor Biggers

Faith in hard times we all need faith, we should all walk and live by faith and not by sight because our sight constantly fails us. I'm living proof that having strong faith and good religion your faith will never fail you, when you prove your self worth not only to God but also to yourself you can make a difference not only in your life  but also in the people's who lives you come in contact with.

 "Selfish Anger"

by, Shana Glover

As pain rolls down my cheek i listen for u
To hear ur voice like im out on a mission for u
But the silence brings me back to reality
That ur gone n im alone n dats how it be
Without u in my life things are challenging
Ive grown up but Ma, would u be proud of me???
I kno i was ur lil angel who never failed to please u
But how u grow up wit no mom, ma i felt i need u
People quick to judge but never understand me
U treated me so sweetly its like ur love was candy.
N now i got 2 daughters u should see em theyre precious
The thought of them never seein their grandma got me so vicious
No one could ever replace u. how can u love a stranger? But ur in a better place now im done with selfish anger.

 Hidden

By, Frederica Coleman 

Beneath the me that you get is the me of my dreams, the me only God sees. It's not my intentions to lock you out, but I don't know how to let you in to an entrance that has never been entered. Dying to show what's been dwelling inside the secret...secrets that I hide. I am my worst enemy..I stunt my growth..I put limitations on my myself,and I shut down when I'm hurt... It's my defense mechanism... I am who I am but I'm not complacent I know I'm not perfect, but I am focusing all my energies on the betterment of this being... I am only human

Whith everything I feel, I wonder how I'm still here.
I'll write these words with my hand so I can try to make you understand how I slowly turn into a mad man.
Have you ever been in love? When you're certain they're the one, but it turns out you were way of?
It's hard dealing with a shattered heart.
You get so lost, wondering how they could do what they've done.
We are far from the ending, this is where the story barely starts.
9 months and for what? I actually thought that there would always be an us.
Guess not... So I turn to drugs for the pain to numb.
Made new friends that I will call my homies till the end.
Loved the feeling he gets when he takes that deep breath.
It actually took her out of my head and made me forget, even if it was for just a sec.
That was just weed, let me just tell you what's next.
On July 17, 2011 I took my first hit of crystal meth.
I was just having fun and chilling with all the friends that I loved.
If you ask them they'll even tell you I fucked up.
In a few months and after so many drugs, something started happening with my thoughts.
Los my friends one by one. They either moved or got locked up.
That's when she started to come back.
Tried to make contact only to come and find out I was long left in the past.
That really hurt. Turned my life from bad to worse.
Hate how much to me she is worth.
The smile on my face started to turn fake.
Felt nothing but hate, confused from the pain.
New friends had to be made.
Just because my old homies went away, doesn't mean my drug addictions did the same.
Now here I am today, trying to get my life straight thinking there's just no way.
The only time I'm calm is when I'm staring up at the stars.
Sometimes It's me on my own facing the world.
Not really knowing where to go. Looking for a place I can call home.
Wish you were here to hold, I know you'de be able to keep me warm and get the emptiness to leave me alone.
So many goodbyes that kill me inside.
But when you left my story was put to an end.
Still wish you the best, I'll just lay on this bed wondering how many times you were playing pretend.
Since all you do is mess with my head.

Q-tip

by, Ralph C. Brabham II

I was chatting with my brother earlier today and he tossed me some wisdom that I've been pondering for most of the day.

He gave me a reason to think about life and my social interactions.  A life lesson which could also improve customer satisfaction.  My mom always used to say...."If you don't have anything nice to say.....don't say nothing at all.". Although....I tend to think before I speak.....others say whatever they desire......even if tears are running down my cheeks.

My sister said I could never play poker because I have tells.  I'm not like a turtle who retreats into his shell.  I believe I'm cool and don't know what to say....until my button is pushed......and i lose track of the month, year, and day.

Mr. Zero to sixty....fast and furious......don't call me George....just because you are becoming curious about q-tip and i haven't mentioned an ear.  As, I come to the conclusion things will become clear.

We have become super sensative about what people say and do.  Today I made a vow to do something new.

I'm going to q-tip .......and continue to smile.  I'm now looking at life with the mindset of a innocent child.  Remember....when someone hurts your feelings with rants and raves.....I need you to grab a q-tip and take deep breath......remember what it symbolizes.....take time to reflect, but don't get emotional......when you're dealing with people

QUIT-TAKING IT PERSONAL..........
