Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone
Posted By: stephanie brown on April 27, 2009






The old me is dead and gone
I said the old me is dead and gone
See the old me would have cussed you out for looking at me funny, talking at the side of your neck, or just out and out challenging me
The old me would have slapped the shiznick out of you for disrespecting me and mine
Essentially
The old me kicked ass and took names
But the old me is dead and gone
The new me stands in front of you transformed and on fire for the Lord
I have finally heeded the call to ministry
I ain't trying to be anybody's preacher
But I can be your right hand minister
I want to use my gift of song and my ability to spit poetry to bring the unsaved into the house of faith
You know the adulterers, lyers, cheaters, murderes, and whoremongers
You know the one that is trying to get with you right now knowing they have a wife at home
You knwo the one that is trying to kiss all on you knowing she has a dude at home
Ever since I have heeded the call to ministry all HELL has broken out
I have had frustration, disappointed, insomnia, and HATERATION
Here a hater. there a hater, everywhere a HATER HATER
I have haters in my family, I have haters amongst my so called friends, I have haters within my former poetry family, and I have even have haters amongst my sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
I even have a Haters Club
I have 11 members
By years end I plan to have a a total of 20
I bet you are wondering
How can you become a member of Stephanie's Haters club
Funny you should ask
Membership is free
All you got to do is hate on me
And you can become the newest member of Stephanie's Haters Club
I stand before you broken and a work in progress
Oh, I've been traveling down this road too long
Trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone
dead and gone

That is so beautiful and fits for all of us. I appreciate you posting this today. It has helpped me so much. Now I am going to take the top and the bottom and fill in my middle and do this for myself because all of us have something that needs to be dead and gone. Thank you so much
