Ain't Nothing Like It

5/13/2017

Ain't nothing like jumping into a sea of your wishes.
Ain't nothing like choosing to trust your feelings.
Ain't nothing like giving way to your ambitions.
Ain't nothing like listening to your intuition.

Ain't nothing like breaking free.
Ain't nothing like creating what you want to see.
Ain't nothing like it.
I tried to fight it.
But it just wasn't me.
Even when I tried.
I couldn't ignore all the voices inside.
Telling me to take the road way less traveled.
Telling me to ignore the outside voices...
That say it's way more hassle.
That say go and work for someone else.
The ones telling me not to believe in myself.
Telling me to go apply for that job.
Instead of telling me to go create one of my own.
I'm tired of singing that popular song, "I was laid off."

So I quit.

I won't lay me off.
But I will fire the old me.
That scary girl is history.
I asked her, "what you come for?
Cause if you don't want more...
Then you can't sit with me."

Honey you better be...
Ready.

To only live faithfully.
And I pray that anyone and anything that tries to block my faith be removed.

Ain't nothing like living the life that you choose. That you want. Not the one forced on you.

Ain't nothing like it.

Epilogue

Ode to Faith

Ain't nothing like it.
The feeling of Faith.
It's wrapped all around me.
It forever astounds me.
It continually crowns me.
When I forget that I'm a queen.

Faith, you are my everything.

Writer. Poet. Lover.

I'm sure that poetry was my first writing love.
It was already in me and then I ran into, Nikki.
Nikki Giovanni, and maybe a little Sister Soldier.
Such beautiful words. The flows, behold her.
My love for words and rhymes increased as I grew.
While listening to the realest Lauryn Hill,
And a whole bunch of Erykah Badu.
My writing hands were sprinkled with tunes of Aaliyah.
And Alicia. And Anita Baker.
Missy Elliot was the hottest on the block.
Singing is it the way to my words..
Like the songstress Jill Scott.
TLC bodied the sexy in me.

So I now bring my own words of inspiration. Words of meditation. Words to get you thinking bout that night. Words to help you feel alright. Words to... share parts of me. I pray that you receive them readily.

FAITH U.
