No Motivation

by

I try to understand these scrambled words floating in my mind

No sentence can be formed feeling like I am running out of time

I feel like I have so much to give but do not have enough will

Laziness is what I am, where is the motivation I so yearning

Will it come again and light the fire

I need it to come fill my body and blow life into my veins

To inflate me and lift me up to get me moving again

Right now I feel like a rock unmoved from one spot

Everything else changes but I remain the same

But eventually a rock has to change

Dear motivation please come find me again.

In my skin

In my skin

I am in my skin
Proud to be
I know why my ancestors died for me
To live a life in my skin
All the sacrifices
And how the influences of God has been
You only know what I tell you
God knows everything I have been through
In my skin I know dark is beautiful
In my skin I have the privilege of being me no one else
In my skin I hope you can understand me
The heartache and pain runs through me but I don’t dare show you only see me in my skin
