Poetry group 1 years, 1 months agoBlack and white
Shavonne HLeave everything at black and white
Don’t add any color to brighten up the scenery
Call it for how you see, never recreate
Leave everything at black and white
Read it for how it is
The image should be loud and clear
Never be afraid to cut off loose ends
Protect your peace and mind
Pure love will soon intertwine
We are often desperate to give out second chances
But when you leave everything at black and white
You will not be deceived
The colors a color blind man can still see
There is always beauty in art
When something turns dark be sure to turn it away
They say black and white goes with everything
Yet I disagree
The dark energy you bring doesn’t not mix with me
You try to confuse me with your little white lies
What’s black & white and read all over?
The answer should’ve been life
Once you endure the pain that this life may bring
You’ll leave everything as it seems
You won’t try to recreate, you’ll call it for what it is
You’ll let it be
I wish someone would’ve told this to the 9 year old me..

Shavonne HSitting here thinking about how far I have come
I would’ve never thought it would’ve been me
Just a year ago I was drowning in my depression
A pool full of tears
Im talking way past knee deep
I woke up everyday feeling like death was near
The grim reaper was the neighborhood watch that kept all trespassers away
It’s like I was living in a gated community that only housed me
Christ was right up the block
Less than a mile away
Life humbled me quick, it took my smile away
I was down bad everyday
I couldn’t even write a poem all I knew was to pray
Here I am a year later writing poems full of praise
Thanking God for a new life, Thanking God for his grace
Everything that was taken from me has been replaced
Reinstated, reimbursed
Karma had me feeling like my life was cursed
Obedient enough now to not make the same mistake again
I got my defense right
I’ll never give up even if I don’t win
Every L that I take is a life lesson
Change is necessary in order to keep progressing
Times may get tough just never give up
We don’t go through anything that we can’t manage
Trials and Tribulations make us who we are
We’re the ones to shine bright even in the darkVoting is closed
