My Brain, My Mind…

 

My brain, My mind

This is the voice of my youth…                              

Listen to the struggle in my truth.

I start from the thoughts of my mind

I put the pain of this story behind …

So I stay focused on my vision and grind.

 

My brain my mind, my mind my brain…

I put the work in for a time ahead…

Back pains, I can feel my body ageing.

My future becomes my distraction, so the real pain is fading.

 

My brain my mind, my mind my brain.

The pain strain on my brain to succeed

I plant and invest in my future….

I still await the blossom of my successful sunflower seed…

To secure my future with the strongest stitches or suture

Remember, I have a family to feed.

 

Pressure, pressure for the things we treasure.

Social media,  understand I control what you see

But you do not see inside of me.

The constant battle of my brain my mind

&No daddy for hand outs so my own success I must find.

 

An independent woman before her time

In a city like London Dungeon invested & saturated with crime.

It is harder to see beyond the pain, the Losses, the violence and still shine.

When money is the issue here,

I mean “he/she still  has her father over there”

Growing up it just never seemed fair.

 

My meaning of happiness & love was oppressed,

My pain becomes my defence

“Continue the hard work” at a point it does not make sense.

But they say “sleep is for the rich” so when or how do I rest?

When I am not yet the best, have you ever felt that pain in your chest …

When there’s no money to feed or mummy’s working all night?

Just to keep the family alright.

 

But Joy comes in the morning, I mean eventually, you will see.

If you have faith that does not shake

I believe God will see you through… after all he is awake.

If you run a genuine race and aim to catch no case…

Slow and steady will always win this race.

 

…. For God is LOVE.

Isaiah 40 : 31  – But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. 

Psalm 125 : 1 – 2 – Those who TRUST  the Lord are like Mount Zion, which sit unmoved forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surround his people now  and forever.
