old school poetry

old school poetry

I don't need to get in to fit in
because its no purpose on trying to fit in.

I stand out like a sore thumb
just to make these doubters feel dumb

your swag is dead while my faith is alive
I may be quiet but I have an outspoken mind
its a new semester but I'm on the same old grind
with God on my side and this Degree on my mind
God's love is precious while your love is blind

who said Autistic people can't spit the truth
they never knew what I went through.
I ride solo for a reason so I don't need a crew
I only need God and my fam yea thats true

my generation needs to stay strong
and stop doing whats wrong
its bad enough some of them are gone
because of petty crimes and tryin to be stoned

to all the doubters who wish failure on me
I'm still standing firm as you can see
I have an old school mind inside this young body
thats why I have to give yall some of this old school poetry

my deepest thoughts(Mind of an Mild Autistic educated brotha)

Lord, I come to you as a young mild autistic young man in need of your guidance, I pray that you keep my younger brother Dallis in your hands and from trouble because I refuse to see him get into trouble like most young guys his age, guide and clean his heart so he can be the better man that You want him to be, I don't want him to lived the life I did and Lord clean my heart and keep me in Your hands, no weapon formed against me and my family shall prosper

To be real I don't need to explain myself about certain things, if people don't believe me and think I'm like most dudes then thats their lost because they are blinded by society's foolishness, I know who I am and I'm tryin to be the man that the Lord wants me to be.

This is how I've been feeling lately

people can talk about me all they want
people can try to expose and put dirt on my name
people can call me slow, ugly, or retarded
people can call me anti-social
but they NEVER can say that Jesus don't me
but when nobody cared He still loved me
*in the words of Smokie Norful broken but healed*

Kingdom Girl 2

I was born to make you smile

because I hate to see you down

the world wants to see you frown

but God blessed you with your style

baby I love the way you are

God created you like a star

as long we're with Him

we will go far

You beautiful virtuous queen

you're the woman of my dreams

so loving and so clean

so nice and never mean

like Christ your love is unconditional

you are amditionous and indescrible

you're God's diamond and my pearl

you beautiflul Kingdom Girl

Danger: A cool educated mild autistic poetic black man(non-rhyming)

I'm a real man who will admit that I have a lot of issues

who makes mistakes,

who is not perfect,

who knows how to respect a lady

but besides all that I know that despite what others think

Jesus still loves me

who despite having mild autism is still gettin my college degree

I refuse to put up with foolishness because I'm beyond that

thats why I go by these three F's : Faith, Foundation, and Family

Faith that I can do all things through Christ 

Be a Foundation for my struggling but strong generation

and Family because like God most of them love me unconditionally

Thank You Lord

when I'm down the Lord lifts me up

when no one cared He loved me

when my so called friends left me in the cold,He became my friend

when I cry, He wiped my tears away

when I feel alone,He walks with mewhen I make mistakes, He covers me

when I do wrong, He forgives me

Thank You Lord for loving and blessing me!!!
