Melanated Power

By C.K. McGhee

Sometimes you have to step away from yourself and step into your purpose. Because the bitterness of life and of people can feel like a circus. Quiet the noise, be steadfast and poised because at this very hour, you need to recognize your melanated power.

The only thing that separates you from me is the recognition that I have of my destiny. Purposely driven, yes…that’s  how I’m living, I’m turning pain into purpose and I’m shedding the old skin…old things become new and I’m feeling like me again.

Trials and tribulations they lead to elevations…immersed in life affirming thoughts mixed into…revelations. Stronger each day as God has his way…moves throughout my life, erasing stress and all strife. Wiping me clean of all darkness within, For he’s preparing me…for all light to come in.

Sometimes we may not be aware of the damage within, until the waters of healing start to rush in, bringing life and hydration to all those dry places, witnessing looks of joy on black and brown faces.

Seeing and tasting the salvation of life, was going left for so long, it feels good to go right. People, places and things draining all of my energy but like Lennon said, its time to just let it be. 

Tomorrow’s not promised and we know not the hour, so tired of attitudes that have grown sour, so stop wasting your time, seeking whom to devour, I’m walking in faith and my melanated power.
