Who said it would be easy?

​who said it would be easy?
Nothing worth fighting for will be give to you, 
Yes it’s your journey after all
Stay here and read this message, and start again to stand tall. 

None of us are designed to give up,
And I say this to myself too, 
I’ll practice what I pray,
Thank you God I am here for just today. 

So as I stand here 
At this unearthly hour at the gym when I could have stayed an extra hour in bed, 
I start my day with prayers and then practice what I’ve preached instead.

The walk which you don’t know where it leads.

​Some people call ‘life’ 
You grow and don’t look back, 
There are times you take risks and wondered if you slacked. 

You thought you sussed it out, but the fact this is a journey,
Ultimately you are a child of hope and graciously worthy.

People call it life, 
People call it love,
People call it being considerate when treated with kindness
If you say ‘goodbye’ to someone you love, then that is ultimate blindness.

You see, it’s about protection 
Keeping away from people who cause you harm, 
They may not think they are doing anything wrong,
But honestly, with them… you do not belong. 

I loved, 
Lost
Lived and survived
I am here for today only, do I need anymore to surmise.

You can question ‘perhaps’ and ‘why’
I don’t entertain those conversations, as before I go to bed I won’t answer that question.. and say ‘goodbye’.

Life’s problems solved with a …… hug

​Good morning or good afternoon
How are you today?
Need for a hug, or should I stay away?

Perhaps a hug will help
Perhaps it won’t, 
The clinging of a difficult situation needs something in place in order to solve 
Then again, we are here only temporarily, so in reality there isn’t much to hold. 

A hug is a temporary solution 
It’s better than an argument, which is much better than retribution. 
So here I am today thanking for this life
I want to hold onto good people who I love and know are much more wise.

So here I stay hopeful
So here I stay strong,
Here I give you a hug when the world is crashing down,
I too have tried to take my life and wanted to drown.

I wasn’t suppose to go
That’s God’s calling for everyday,
He will decide when I ascend to my new home where I shall obey.

I love a hug
I remember I hugged my Dad, caused from an altercation caused by a pr..ck,
I am rather embrace with tears flowing down my cheek
I know there are good people out there.. for whom God chooses you when you are struggling and not at your peak.

That moment (The time Dad passed away)

​It was my turn to sleepover at the hospital that night,
We knew we were going to lose a great man, 
I laid next to him on his bed and played old 50s, 60s crooners songs
I felt unhappy but wanted the omnipresent Father to remove this pain from my Dad,
Unfortunately we all knew he weren’t going to make it…as we were inevitably feeling sad.

It was roughly 10pm, I kissed my Dad’s head and said ‘goodnight you git’,
I made sure the bed sheets were put over him, before I went to sleep on the bed next to him
We were all feeling a great loss awaiting to happen, 
We have all been there, facing a struggle you wished never took place
But I wanted God to take him because of the pain he endure.. and I don’t say those sort of words in haste.

I went to sleep 
And then at 00:03 hours I heard my name called,
“Jason”, I looked at the nurse… and knew he has passed,
I didn’t panic, I looked at my Dad and put my hand over his mouth, from there I felt his last breath
I contained my emotions and knew God took him away,
I was selfish… as dearly wanted him on this earth to stay. 

You see, my Dad was my protector from foes who didn’t have my back,
He didn’t take my shit too, and his determination never slacked. 

I called Mum and my 2 brothers to give the news, 
I was stunned as my Dad was a fighter, as I was deluded and even felt this fight he wasn’t able to lose.

I didn’t get on with Family members 
So I left the family home, 
We did our best to be a unit of support, but in truth I wanted to be alone.

I am entitled to my rights 
As I know people aren’t entirely bad, 
But connection is important for me.. and honoured to have him as my Dad.

I speak to him every day, my rock, my protector and the one who use to say “shut… your effing mouth, that’s nothing to do with you”
Boy, don’t I miss him now… as I felt my heart ripped out in episode that I inevitably lose.

The funeral took place on the 8th June 2023
My brother and I shared our thoughts about this great man who we gravely missed,
Dad, if you can hear me right now… remember my last act towards when I looked at your forehead and planted that good night kiss.

“I speak to those I want to speak to.. but this man.. I would miss until I’ll meet him one day in heaven. Love you Dad x 🙏🏽❤️”

I say my affirmations each day

​I say my affirmations each and every day
It takes a moment of clarity from your higher power to keep the devil away.

You may hear words of wisdom 
And sometimes you won’t, 
You run away from a situation which is too much to bear,
Remember a prayer is not far away to openingly share. 

We all face trauma in our lives,
We are all on different walks which don’t align,
As long you say your basic affirmations.. you will be fine.

Start with prayer or medication 
Look to the people whom you can align to at that moment,
And lift yourself by looking positive words rise the soul
God gave you this life, and sometimes you have nowhere to go.

Those who DON’T walk in your shoes.

​Some people try to make fun out of the situation 
Some people look to rile for their gain, 
Turn the other cheek, as this discussion doesn’t belong to you to maintain. 

People are there to rile, 
Some are funny, and you reverse it by laughing at their jest
Knowing you have a higher power that enables to you bring out your best. 

There are good people in this world we need to be around
They will pray for you, lift your soul,
And there are others, who dispute and simply need to go.

It’s about protecting your heart
You are not compelled to be around people you choose not to be with each day,
Remember, mediate, prayer to your higher power.. these’s are feelings which ought to stay.

Tomorrow is not promised 
But love will live forevermore, 
Do not compare yourself to others, that has no worth… actually shall make you sore.

The weeks fly by..

​Where does the time go?
It doesn’t stay for long, 
Surround yourself with positive thinking and a great talk,
Along with that pray..and head off for a walk. 

Somethings aren’t for you
And some are when they do arrive,
You are only in this earth temporary, aren’t you glad to be alive? 

Where does the time go? 
I know it’s wasted half the time with negative chat, 
I am focusing on a prayer always, that’s where the flow should arrive at!

Walk away from a negative situations,
A place which leads to a ill fated debate, 
Just pray for the time to work for that moment, as your mental fortitude is always worth keeping in a humble state.
