Long Awaited By:MiddleSoul

Nights waiting to finally be able to see your face every morning
Make ur lips dance with smiles
Kiss your forehead with joy
Take you away from your fears and unhappiness that which you were held captive with no way out
Relax ur mind on my chest
Tell me the stories of your heart
Let me help you through it all
One day at a time
Or by the minute if we have too
Or even the second
The hurt is buried in your eyes
I know the feeling because my pain lays there too
Beneath the experiences of yesterday
Hoping someone would take my hand into tomorrow
Showing me how to be happy again
And so you took my hand

26 years of Smiles,Cries,Victories and Lessons

Ive learned a lot over my 26 years of being on this earth. Ive learned lessons and some lessons Ive had to learn over and over again. Some Ive taught because Ive learned those lessons before. But in the end Im happy where Im at in my life and Im even more excited of where I am going in my life. Ive been at the bottom its easy to get comfortable down there but Im not one to sit still. God has ideas constantly going through my mind. I spoke with God a while back and the conversation went like this. I said,"God give me and opportunity and watch what I do with it." His answer He's been putting me to work ever since. He has openned doors before I even see the door. Some doors I  couldnt see the knob because the door was already open. -MiddleSoul Testimony

LOOKED AT AS BEING A LAME AND NOW PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MY NAME

I use to wonder what is it about me that makes people say the things that they do? Is it because I am poet? Is it because I don't respond back and entertain their words and respond by being hurt or discouraged. I remain me at all times and remain level headed. I've learned over the years that you have one life and to entertain them is really a waste of my time and energy. But I do give me a smile and know really that one time I was the one that was talked about and looked at as being " A LAME" and now people want to know "MY NAME". Now isn't that a big turn around in life and all I can do is laugh whether people talk to me or about me really doesn't matter to me. I will be Me (MiddleSoul) and there' s really nothing after that needs to be said. I am not going to dress,talk,walk like everyone else and if that's the case then why introduce myself??? I might as well give you the name of the person I'm trying to be like and not the name my parents gave me.

Now in present day still people have their words, but I kindly step over them. I am to busy in writing and making my dreams a reality. I have to many things that I want to accomplish in my life before I turn 50 and in my eyes as always the clock is against me. Since I feel this way I am going to moving very quickly to some and some may call it ambitious, but I call it me being me. If you have met me in person then you know that I'm not one to dream small or one of small change. I am one that wants to change the world,involve the world, and love the world. I believe that yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't promised so everything needs to get done today. At the end of the day I want you to be different and embrace it, because most likely it maybe something that your friends aren't doing. If your current friends aren't doing it that's okay get a new set of friends. IT'S THAT EASY!!! 
            

The Growth Process

I’ve had a wide range of experiences when it comes to relationships, and as we all know that you have to take the good with the bad. How can you live and learn if you don’t right? I’m currently moving forward after an event that was life changing, but I’m doing better as the days pass bye. I have fallen back into the foundation of where everything has started which is writing. They say, “if you ignore God He will put you where He needs you at that movement and time”. I guess He wanted me to slow down and get back to myself. Sometimes we get so wrapped into other things that we forget about taking care of us.

I have such a big habit of taking care of other people and I guess it’s the loving part of me. We normally associate love with a woman and it’s said that its her nature. But what about the loving nature that a man has toward people? I have always grown up around really loving people from different career backgrounds and I am associated with them through different organizations from church, school, off the poetry scene etc.

The best environment to be in is in one that is healthy for you both mentally, physically, and socially. If this isn’t the case than you need to remove yourself and place yourself in a place where you are at peace. You must surround yourself with individuals that have your best interest at heart and have the same goal and aspirations as you.

I am personally doing some major rebuilding of myself, but I’m just looking back on the things that I’ve made it through. I know that at the time I felt like I wasn’t going to make it, but I made it to today so why can’t I make it to tomorrow? I write you this straight from the heart and soul as it comes to me. I hope that as I examine myself you are able to grow with me as well and we can experience this growth process together.

My Procrastination Evolved Into Ambition

Have you ever wondered about why you acted the way you use too? Like for example like why you were in that relationship or had those friends that weren't for your best interest. I am really cleaning house when it comes to things in my life. I am really getting rid of negative thinking, excuses, lack of faith in self and procrastination.

When I was younger I use to procrastinate a lot, and I guess that came from my mind being filled with all these thoughts raining over my brain. I would think about the future wondering what God had planned for me. I would sit next the window ceil and ask “God, when will this pain go away”? I went through more heartbreaks than I care to share, and I don’t how my heart had the strength to keep stopping by these heartbreaks.

I would search and find knowing that I had a purpose in life, but not knowing the name of my gift. I felt like I wasn’t doing anything with my life, until I could really invest my time into something that made my heart kissed the lips of the world. One day I walked into the beautiful face of a woman named Poetry, and she has never left my side. I had found the answer to the question that I searched high and low for, and years later I found that it wasn’t just poetry that caught my heart but writing plays as well. I was allowed the opportunity to be one of the individuals that helped start an organization for young actors, playwrighters and directors. This organization is now rebuilding a lot of things within it but I think it will come out in a better light after the smoke clears.

Over time my procrastination has evolved into ambition, and at times I have my fall backs but I’m human. I believe at the end of one day and the beginning of another day I am still very much in love with the fact people are calling me saying that there’s D.J. Davis or “MiddleSoul” or Da Poet the published author. I have been dreaming about being a published author since 2001, and to finally say that I am a published author. It really reboots joy back into my heart, and start to remember all those long nights of writing on a computer while people were sleep. I had the RAW PASSION of my poetry and I believe it or not back in 2005 I posted every poem that was going in the book. I think that will become a part of my process when it comes writing my book. I like to marry what I’m about to put in the front of the world. I like to wake up next to my work and see it every day and see how it looks every day. I am rediscovering myself as an author and poet while I’m posting this blog entry. This is truly a new beginning and the next page in my book of life.
