No Matter The Weather (A Poem)

Ok, so saturday afternoon Im chillen. Just here. Thinking about a whole bunch of deep shit with my favorite song in the whole world blaring through my headphones. And being that Im a writer who has completely fallin off course and dogged the fusion of the only mental escape Ive ever known, I felt more than persuaded to say something. But what would I say? And to whom? Im sitting here all alone with a feeling to express...to share. Im thinking. Im listening. And I know that I cant be the only muthaf*!$ goin through the motions, right now. Trying to smile in all this adversity and make it look easy. But we all know there"s so much in this world trying damn hard to keep us from purpose. Our destiny. And although I'm not too fluent in the Bible, I know it speaks of Jesus telling His followers to remember that when the world hates us, never forget that it hated Him first. Bingo! And so that's what I want to talk about. But Im still here alone. So I guess then, Im back on course....

No Matter The Weather




There couldn’t be a better time for rain
Because I know a cloud
Can’t last one whole day, gray.

Let it fall
I have tears of my own
And thunderstorms make aching hearts
Sound like nothing’s wrong.

No fear, not me
No death if I achieve
Hey hurricane I’m glad you came
But wind cannot break me.

It’s true I’ll fall
May scrape my knee
I’ve done from time to time.
May lose my way
When tornadoes change my path
But I’ll be fine.

Flood my home and blind my sight
Freeze my steps
But never my might.

YOU are earth 
And that’s your job
But I am he 
Who walks with God.

And He can walk on land and sea
So why would I
Be scared of things
Designed to make me strong?

Please do your worst
I will do mine
You’ll still be air
That gives me time.

And I will breathe
While you subside because...

No storm can last forever.
