In Time...(you'll see)

Im not afraid of you
I don’t even see you
How dare you...?
Are you aware how you...?
Do you even know who you are?
Cause I do
Im not afraid of you
Been running from demons
Long before you came on the scene
The devil has spoken with me
And every time he tried
He still ain’t got with me
I use to run from him
But now I just sit and stare
Running wastes time and energy
I know who he is
we’ve danced this 4/4 waltz before
Before I knew who I was
Before I realized why he was
Always chasing me
So I stopped running
In Time,
I gained and learned and stored
my defense leans in knowing
and identifing who he is--- in
Facing fear has empowered me
I don’t see him but me
And all the things that would slay me
If they could get inside me
So I’m not afraid of--- you
How dare you.....
Assume that your mortal presence
Would send me hurling?
I’ve seen spirits and ghosts and demons
And angels with these large brown eyes
And even my third eye aint blind
Its just that my mouth aint always kind
And I try to speak life not death to those
Who ain’t ready for the Divine
Power that I emit with my mind
Like a muscle I exercise it with
discipline

Focusing on the GoOD Godly things
That keep me way above this B.S. you deal with
So hard to stay the course
So hard to be soft and feminine
So hard to stay in this role that GOD has chosen for me
When I just want to show you
I aint scared of you
But what would that prove
While walking away seems more to suit
Your meaningless regurgitations of things you
Know nothing about
Using words not knowing their true origin
To confuse people in believing you know a thing or two
When I’ll tell you I don’t know sh*t
About that bullsh*t
But I do know,
I aint afraid of you
I’ve been dying for you to step to me
But I know a fair fight could never begin
So I wait
I wait
My scorpion tendencies want to kill
But my higher self sees that
It would only lend you fame
Cause you made me kill
Am I that ill?
My emotions I can distill
Until the time comes
Where I won’t be still
I feel the future
And your energy aint there
So I don’t care what you do now
Cause I am not afraid of you
I know you
Seen your moves in slow motion
Towards your final destination
The evil one told me your secrets
Your fears
Cause he knows that i could
Deal fatal blows
With hate
But I love
Love kept me here
Love conquers fear
It’s the sacrifice
Many of us fear
So I carry Love with me
Inside of me
Like a child, she’s evolving with me
About 8 or 9
She ready for perfection
Age 10= 1
Cause it all starts with me
So do you really want to
Verbally spar with me?
A master of words only
Because I know there are no rules
With this language
I go back to latin
If it, non sequiter
then, mea culpa
My French will ferme la bouche
Until your Spanish asks que pasa?
I speak shalom to my Hebrew friends...

Now I lend my ear to
Hear you
Preach and mumble
Bout what you know
But you don’t feel it
the person who desires it the most
gets it
Why won't you forget it?
your lack of passion
has already forfeited this mission
So what you gone do?
Now that we’ve cleared the air
You still aint crossed this line
You drew in the sand
I don’t desire to fight you
But I aint afraid to cross it
For my loss
It would be worth the cost
to bear the cross
And wear the marks of a woman scorned
But not beaten or battered
nor will I be bitter

See, I’ve done that before;
So my soul chooses to sleep like bears
While I hibernate through another cold winter...

Many people keep asking what this poem is about...its about fear...that fear can arrive in the form of a family member, friend, lover, spouse, coworker, etc. Identifying fear in people helps you know how to deal with them. Fear is the antithesis of Love. Love=GOD, how many times in the bible does it state to "not fear"? sometimes repetition is how we remember and learn
