I met you the day I fell into a pool of rejection I was 9 years old and surrounded by intimidation I forgot everything I knew about language I became an unplugged music player I lived on that one street where Tragedy and Silence had the same exact address I lived in fear Fear of taking my chance to exploit my ideas My mouth would open but before saying anything Hesitation would climb up my spine And panic would find it's way to my chest My self confidence was really good at playing hide and seek You could never find it Thomas Edison said, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just on more time." See I've spent my lifetime stuck in silence and afraid that I'll say something catastrophic Someone once told me that I had the words to change a nation That I didn't have to bite my tongue anymore That I had a heart as loud as lions So, why let your voice be tamed? Let your voice be heard I learned that day, being different isn't something I should be ashamed of Were all wonderful people Everyone is unique And when my friends ask me who game me guidance I tell them I was my self confidence

Haven't been on here in a while. I honestly miss posting poems and motivation on here. I also miss editing this website and creating all these pages for people to enjoy and read. At school right now and this is actually my last week of the semester. Since it's going to be summer I might work on the website more who knows? and I know people don't really even go on here much but oh well. I'll make another post soon about all the things I've accomplished for the past few months. If anyone has anything to share with how they've been doing feel free to comment below or go to my contact info page and hmu another way! Deuces for now.
How am I feeling? My alarm rang at 3:15 this morning. It was really cold. And just like the #1 excuse. My bed was really comfortable, I probably pressed the snooze button like 11 times.
You ask how I'm feeling? Truth is it wasn't just my bed that was comfortable. It is laying by your side and trying to separate me from you is like trying to separate oceans. Yo I swear you don't snore but if you were sleeping in a room full the people that slept just like you they would be angels. Let me tell you how I feel. I'm feelin' like spring in past tense. Kissing you on the fore head sounds like music to my ears, tastes like happiness, and feels like a massage after a long day of work. Sometimes you wake up so sweet that you attract bee's. It's probably the drool on your face. Good morning. I woke up early. There's breakfast downstairs. I poured your favorite drink. Did all the dishes from last nights dinner and cleaned the whole kitchen...... Now that is something I wish I said. BUT! I have to admit I spent the past four hours hoping you have sweet dreams and telling myself... I'm the luckiest man in the world. You just said good morning. I feel born again and your voice is my first memory. My second memory of you is the first time we met. Yo the first time you spoke my name, the ground felt like a language I haven't spoken in years. My 3rd memory is kissing you for the first time. I lost all my weight and I was being lifted from the ground. I swear I forgot everything I knew about gravity. Let me tell you something. I love you like I love dance. If I were to describe your beauty, I'd start by obliterating my flaws. I would then dip my fear in a river of confidence and tell you, that's how you make me feel. You make me feel beautiful. I'm feelin' like spring in past tense. Sprung. I work for a Youth Empowerment and Performing Arts company called, JUST BLING. Bling stands for Bringing Light Into Natural Greatness. This company is non profit and offers many classes. I work in the performing arts department as one of the Hip Hop Directors. What I do. I teach all ages. as young as 4 and as old as old. I teach all types of Hip Hop and in all types of levels; Beginner, Intermediate, And Advanced. My job not only consists of teaching my passion but to help the youth shine in their talent. As a company we motivate, inspire, and provide help for anyone, whether you're taking classes or are part of the Just Bling Team. Our classes consists of.. Youth Empowerment, Theater, Dance, Arts and Crafts, Singing, Poetry/Spoken Word, Tutoring, and more! I'm a motivational speaker and I love sharing words of wisdom whenever I want to inspire and inspire others. I've been with this company for more than a year now and I think it's really beautiful to be doing something you love while offering yourself as a beacon of hope for the community. I can't wait for what's in store and the many more great blessings that are to come. For more information about JUST BLING visit, ijustbling.com
I'm actually quite a busy person. I go to school during the weekdays and I teach dance on the weekends. I also try to balance this all with family, my relationship, and time for myself. I'll have separate updates about family, love life, and myself in another post. I'm lowkey excited for these next few months because I'm going to be doing so much travelling, planning, dancing, art exhibitions, and more! So stay tuned~
I was born June 13th
That makes me a Gemini I don't really know what that means I'm 5 foot 10, I weigh 175 pounds I don't know how to swim And I'm a sucker for a girl with a nice smile, and a pair of beautiful eyes I'm learning how to not over talk I think it's because as a kid I never really had the courage to speak my mind I now love vegetables I appreciate naps And I've learned to love unconditionally I guess you can say I'm growing up backwards I like strawberry lemonade. A lot. I've been told that I give really good hugs People say it feels like I'm trying not to let them escape Sometimes It's because I am Secretly I get really nervous every time someone gets close enough to hear me breathe I have this odd fascination with things like Flowers and Roller Coaster rides I assume It's because I usually find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments That's why I tend to fall in love with women who will never love me back I know it sounds crazy but It's actually much easier than it seems And to be honest, I think it's much safer thatway See relationships they often remind me that I'm not afraid of heights or falling But I'm scared of what's gonna happen the moment that my body hits the ground I'm clumsy Yesterday I tripped over my self esteem I landed on my pride And it shattered like an iPhone with a broken face Now I can't even tell who's trying to give me a compliment I've never been in the military But I have this purple heart I got it from beating myself up over things I can't fix I know this sounds weird but sometimes I wonder what my bed sheets say about me when I'm not around I wonder what my curtains would do if they found out about all the things I've done behind their backs I've got a hamper that's overflowing with really really loud mistakes And a graveyard in my closet I'm afraid that you'll grind my bones into powder and get high on my fault lines Hi My name is Chad I enjoy dancing Going on adventures Eating And laughing for absolutely no reason at all But I don't allow myself to cry as often as I need to I have a solar powered confidence I have a battery operated smile My hobbies include editing music hiding behind my talents and trying to convince my shadow I'm someone worth following This is my honest poem and to be honest I could never be more thankful to be where I'm at in life One. Take your shot
How will you know the outcome if you don't? Two. Try again Three. Keep trying, you can do it Four. It's ok. I know it's difficult, but do not let that weaken you Your mistakes do not define who you are Five. I've fallen for girls so many times, I'm tired of cupid using me for target practice Six. Fat Albert said, "Hey hey hey... Falling is easy, but getting up is the hard part." Seven. I'm here to remind you that the problems we face are like washing machines They twist, they spin and knock us around. But in the end we come out cleaner, brighter, and better than before Eight. I know it seems like the easiest thing to do But don't give up, you've come all this way Nine, Close your eyes. Wash your thoughts in a river of confidence to cleanse every doubt you've ever heard. Open your eyes. Keep your chin up. You have nothing to lose. No matter what I won't give up on you, I'm here for you. Ten. You did it. I'm proud of you.
