Hello friends, I will be leaving for work shortly, but have scheduled several posts of my books for your enjoyment. Please comment to win because I love giving away free books. Thank you and I will return later to post further. I will be here until 9 or 10 pm. Here are a few of my canvas paintings. Not all of the canvas art came through on the uploader, but perhaps this will give you an idea of what I paint. Here is the link to check out all my canvas art. http://www.tiptopwebsite.com/members/index.php
I WAS
I was afraid to grow up.
Afraid of life.
I worried myself to death.
It was hard to breathe.
Like a fish out of water.
Like having asthma.
High school was hell-crazy wild.
My only plan.
Just get up and go.
Cant be like mom.
She always had a plan.
Living her life without any man.
Cant think that far.
Felt out of place.
Like dust floating in space.
Scared out of my mind.
Of what I might or might not find.
Cant hack relationships.
More drama.
Why waste the time.
Still confused, but still craving knowledge.
I need to do what I want-for myself.
Even if its just me who cares.
Even if no ones there.
It was a long hard road.
To get my act together.
All bad choices, solely I sowed.
Working for nickels and dimes.
Like a newborn.
Taking one step at a time.
                                               
                       SCARED
                                   A new wife and mother.
                                   Scared of life.
                                   Scared to grow up.
                                   Worry myself sick.
                                   Never thought of a plan.
                                   Didn’t want to be like the others.
                                   Living my life according to my mother.
                                   My life seemed over, before it began.
                                   Cant think or feel.
                                   Cant plan ahead.
                                   Like a foolish child wanting to be a woman.
                                   Some days to hard, just cant deal.
                                   To confused to understand.
                                   That growing up comes with demands.
                                   Married badly, blamed myself.
                                   Got out fast, and never looked back.
                                    I covered myself in chaos.
                                   All out of faith, money, and time.
                                   Need to step back and take deep breaths,
                                  and take one step at a time.
                                   I cornered myself in chaos,
                                   in false love, self loathing and lies.
                                   Writing my future off as a loss.
                                   Nothing left but sorrow, despair and good-byes.
                                    Feeling helpless, lost and alone,
                                   I felt I could accomplish nothing on my own.
                                   I retreated to a place called the dark.
                                   To contemplate my choices,
                                   before my life’s journey embarked.
                                   My only failures were the ones I created.
                                    My bad choices were thorns all around.
                                   It took years to find happiness and evolve.
                                     My will to succeed is my solid ground.
