30 poems. 30 days: Day 30- Haiku #4

Those who know me know that I love Jill. I could tell she was a poet from her very first song so when she released her book I was over the clouds excited. There are so many pieces that I just absolutely ADORE but this piece is one that motivates me to #PressOn. I learned very young that everyone is not going to celebrate with you, they aren’t going to love things the way that you love them, they aren’t going to pray for you to succeed, and more importantly they aren’t going where you’re going. People will lie about you, talk about you, make plots to see you fail, attempt to speak negativity into your life; and some of these people are the ones you hang with all the time. But instead of hating them for falling into the trap that the enemy set before them to work against you causing you to be weighed down, you must be able to love them beyond the circumstance. That doesn’t mean keep them around that means not feeding into their madness.

For your growth, for your healing, for your next season; #noweight.

Haiku #4

Jill Scott

I hear you Thinking
Thinking things to pull me down
I love anyway
