This too shall pass

Please don't make me take out the Vaseline

I've given you pass after pass with yo dense passive aggressive ass!!!

I ain't sick of you... you ain't worth it, but I am about to put yo  rabbit ass on blast!

So my presence bothers you? Makes you bring out your Monday's stress?

You got one mo time to do me and we gone break out in our Sunday's best!

I don't wake up in the morning with you on my mind  you crazy short heffa!

You betta take them "shoat" legs of yours and let the Lord "directa" yo "stepa"

It's only so much silent abuse the CinnaminQueen can take!

If I apply the Vaseline, my dear, the next exit you better break!

I'm tired of ya games, of your silly simple minded chest moves!

Tricks are for kids you silly rabbit, I have nothing to prove!

So take this warning as another aggravating pass!

I'd like to thank your annoying tail in advance!

I'm trying not to be so abrupt!

I need the lord to fill my cup!

I don't mind sweeping the knees

So stay the HELL outta my way please!!!!

Love and Sincerely the Queen of Cinnamon skin

The next time it will be you and me, my friend....

I AM ME

I am me from my kinky hair strands to my painted toes nails.

I AM ME

From the thick scars that stretch across my belly

To the two pack that extends it and I appreciate it daily

I AM ME

From the obvious power that lies in my back

To the weakness in my knees that comes from years of track

I AM ME

From the shyness in my walk

That is hidden by the confidence in my talk

I AM ME

From the wittiness in my personality

To the moodiness that can bring the HELL outta me

I AM ME

I am me because I am a unique flower with an ever changing bloom, praised by April and May showers

A heart beat whose rhythm isn't always perfect cause sometimes my flow gets caught in an offbeat current

I can be mean,selfish, and unapologetic

But loving,polite, and very sympathetic

Cause that's just me

I've never had the greatest confidence nor the highest intelligence

But I would never trade me for you

This body, mind, and soul I will always be true to...

Yassss I'm doing that!

Yes, I'm currently in college working towards a degree in Communication's Media with a focus in English. If I find a weak spot in my life, I challenge it to do better, to understand, to focus on learning something new. When I first took the ASVAB to cook in the Coast Guard, I struggled to pass the math portion. For some reason my ability to put a puzzle together was off the charts. The recruiter asked me did I sit and put puzzles together all day. No...I hate puzzles but I analyze EVERYTHING. I'm a problem solver. I took that test 4 times and passed on the 4th. I went to the library and  check out books from 1st grade to 12th. YES I DID. When the recruiter called me he said, "Welcome to the Coast Guard. You have MORE than enough to be a cook." I fell on my knees and thanked God! Then, I needed a waiver for my age. I was 37. The Officer who wrote my waiver said,"it's not about age with this candidate. I see spirit and drive that is needed in my Coast Guard. I recommend a waiver. We need more people like her." This was a turning point in my life. I never gave up and I never gave in to the doubt that I felt everyday. Well this is my new battle. This is what I live for and one day I will reach down and help another. That's what life is truly about! Find the most basic path when the obstacles become difficult! If you can't climb over that bitch, walk around it!!!

Hey little girl

Dear Valorie, 

I challenge you to take the innocence that you have about life to trust yourself. The way that you believe in yourself now, bring it to your future. Don't be afraid to tap into that well of strength that ignites even more your creativity. Don't doubt that you are actually smart. Did you know that you can draw like hell? You have the same gift that your dad had. Let go that he never complimented your successful drawing competitions. Let go that they never complimented your athleticism and how talented you were. You should have kept competing. And one day, in 1990, you will invent a special functioning watch and give it away stupidly.  Just remember, the reason you went through this was because #1 you ARE stubborn and never listen to your husband and #2 it proves how brilliant you are. Let it go and don't continue to beat yourself up about losing it. Seeing it on television should drive you to create more. Master perfect writing; you have never given up on anything so you got this! Your imagination is there but tap into that power of YOURS and learn to fix your errors. Don't doubt your gift, just fix the weakest link and make that chain strong. You are brilliant!

Love always, your older self!

My cracks are filled

When I hear you speak, I can hear no one else...just you

The sound of your voice lifts me, takes me, draws me into you

You are my eradicator, my peace maker, my rejuvenator

You are my Joy

I am removed from this barren place to that place...with you

And in that place... is where you make pure love to my soul

You strengthen my movement of life and faithfulness

You are my Substance

When you enter my presence...I am united in Matrimony

I say...I do...to you... because you connect me, fit me

You are my Partner

Do you know how powerful you are when I hear you?

Do you feel me become enlightened when you speak to me?

Do you hear my soul weep with Joy because you healed me?

I love you...My dear Violin...You are my savior.

My cracks are filled....
