A Prayer for my Soul can be Yours Too …

A prayer for my soul
Can be yours too …

How do you start to forgive
Those you’ve sharked you?

You got to have a talk …
With the Highest and Almighty

You can ask …
“Why were you knocked down so hard?”

Be patient with His response …
He is taking His time to clarify the unknowns

That only He knows …
Do not get mad or sad with Him

Do not crack your knuckles in desperation …
As you knocked at His door and got no answer

Do not get a bat to score the results
It is not your fault …

Now, you should be and do this instead
You should smile to the heavens …

Because your are climbing His stairs
Get an early start and get on that line

Be wise and nice with your journey
Be neat and stay conscious clean

When your door closes … When they spit and point their fingers at your face!

As they call you deaf, stupid, incompetent
Or say oh! Oh! It’s she insane with amnesia
… showing off

You violated HIPAA, your are a thief, a no good, A plagiarizer, a psychopath when in reality

You’re late, you’re a pain
Know, it is not you but them

You only got a good heart …!”
Making no sense because if you’ve a good heart

You can’t be any of those above. I had to pause
In the likes … You plagiarized my policy!”

You got to move on and let the evil go
You got to forgive and move on …
…. Yea, got to move on!

You go to realized they don’t know God
No matter how many ways they tried …

You must walk away from they
They all still dead inside …

I’ve realized if am dumb as they claim
That I can write … unlike them

Are they jealous?
Are they incompetent?

Why is it am a published scientist, Poet that Loves words … and a microbiologist that loves
… her microbes

I can write with my heart
I can use that ink of a squid

Instead of a pen …
I can use my brain cells as my dictionary

I can pray to God …
As He comes to me

He rewards me with gifts that few see
The most important being love …

He eases all the obstacles on my way …
He breaks peace and removed all the haters

He closes the doors to darkness …
He sends the light as my faith is restored

Amen to Him …
Amen to the heavens

Amen those erased pain …
Amen to my renew life and love that grows inside
