FINDING ME... MORE is Women of Destiny's Youth/Young Adult OUTREACH and soon to be our newly formed Non-profit Organization. It always does my heart good to see positive YOUNG ADULTS doing positive things. Well, today I get the unique pleasure of introducing a "spoken word" (rap/poetry) work from KYE POOLE, my nephew.
Kye is a High School Senior and a celebrated football player (in the line of many great football players in his family). I say this only because of the intimate TRUTH that he shares here. At "Finding ME... More", we teach about: self-esteem, self-acceptance, self-awareness, peer-pressure, bullying, etc.; but, more often than not we don't view the "popular crowd" as those who have issues. Now I know that thiS is far from truth. Thank you, Kye... for enlightening me and for choosing to bless me and others by courageously sharing your heart.
*As for those of you reading this who knows him personally, make sure you have him spit this rhyme for you... HE IS AWESOME AND IT IS POWERFUL!!!

Tell me where we at in this world
Everybody hollering 'bout they blessed like there ain't a curse in the world
But I'm callin out all the bluffs
You say you blessed but did you pray today ?
The truth is you only say you blessed when things are going your way
I'm blessed on my worst day
Cause I'm still here living
Wanted to kill myself a while back,
Honestly,
But The Lord wouldn't let me make the killing
He rearranged how I was living
Preached the benefits of life
Brought me to my Knees
I swear I can't thank him enough at night
So when I wake,
I thank him again for the opportunity
Because instead of following the crowds
I only let him influence me
It's you and me
Whoever's receiving this message
I'm reaching out to you my friend
I hope you catch at least one lesson
That before you go out and you dressing
You thank the lord for the clothes on your back
You putting a hat on your dome
I'm tryna make your mind snap back
Cause brothers out here killing and stealing and living a life full of sins.
Girls walking 'round with barely any clothes on their skin
And everybody pretends
The wrong's instilled so we say nothing
I pray to God I opened up your mind to what the worlds becoming.
