I would like to thank a true Sista-gal pal Lisa B. for

encouraging me to share my poetry. Words of expression is one of the best forms of self therapy.  In releasing tension one tends to create room for peace, creation and self identity.  I encourage you all to write down your feelings and express yourself with courage and love.

“Me, I Choose”

by: Bev Knox

 3/00

I appreciate you, for being you

And  like you, for just being you

So appreciate me, for being me

And like me, for just being me

Stop trying to tell me how to live my life

Or what I should do to make it better

Better to suit you, you, and you…

I appreciate your need to feel like you are protecting me

Or even trying to guide me into your “perfect reality or perception”

I am ME! My own creation…

Untamable, uncontrollable, my spirit is free

The teachings of my elders, I take note… non forgotten…

I am me – I choose to be…

My own form of self identity will be shaped and formed by me

My loud and awkward laugh, its part of my craft

Just like the witches brew, unlike my mama’s stew

The waving of the hands, and my out spoken form of communication

My sensitive and caring nature, got much love for all creatures baby

 Even you, you and you…

My obsession with shoes and pocketbooks,

Donna Karen, Polo and Calvin Klein

Yow! it’s just part of my look….my make-up, my sense of style baby…

My emotional neediness to love and be loved…

Wanna be my man…just try and handle this, brother if you can

Yea that’s right!  scared of me… do I put fear in you heart baby…

do you wonder if at all you can handle a sista like me…

Beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, charming, headstrong

Spell it out baby… B I T C H

Yea, that’s right

I love being me

So, appreciate me, for just being me…

Or else get the @#!*% out of my life...

Rules for Being Human,   Author Unknown

     You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it. But it will be yours for your entire lifetime.  You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately succeeds.  
     A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. 
Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. 
     There is no better than here. When your there has become a here, you will simply obtain another there that will, again, look better than here. 
     Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects you, something you love or have about yourself.
     What you make of life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What to do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.  Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
