Whit in the World

MAYA ANGELOU'S" BEST POEM EVER A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... a youth she's content to leave behind.... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..... a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.... one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE.... a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family.. A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored... A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... a feeling of control ove...

I know I shouldn't write this note but for those of you who really want to share it with the rest of the world then cut and paste it but make sure you let everyone know that Whitney L Johnson wrote this moment of truth. As I walked through the hall anger washed over me. Actually from the moment I entered the party that I had attended earlier tonight at someone's house is when my fire was started. Now my fire is ablaze and if someone looked into my eyes they would be amazed because the cool hatred that was there would kill with just one glance if directed at the right person and given the chance. I am beginning to realize that there are three things in life that I hate but the one thing that I hate most especially in relation to my friends is seeing them cry. I've written poems that have been related to my friends emotions on more than one occasion but this time I'm too angry to even muster the sanity and creativity to just write a poem, I'll save that for later o...

I'm the girl your mother told you about and the female that your boys warn you about. I'm the girl that scares you and makes you play games. I'm the girl that will make everyone other girl just seem lame. I'm the girl in your dreams. I'm the girl that will be there to the end because I'm more than just a lover and a friend. I'm the girl that makes you put away your cane, put an end to your player game and make you say the "c" word over and over again. I'm past the status of the "main", I'm better than "wifey" or the "old lady" and I can do more than rock your world. I'll make you see heaven when you make love to me. I'm better than the girl in your fantasy....Who am I you ask? I'm the girl who will make you forget your past, savor the present and look forward to the future. I'm the girl that you will get on one knee in the rain just to claim that I will forever be your everything....That's m...

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They b...

The other day I was sitting down and decided to count my blessings. My blessings at time seems short and few, but for those of you who don't know me you won't think its true. I feel that people see what they want when they are ready and due to that fact I am ready to see all my blessings. One of my blessings is my family. They have put up with a lot for a long time and no matter what have loved me the whole way through. I mean I was not the easy little kid to raise either. I had an attitude and temper problems. I was mean and spiteful when I was ready. And those are just the things I can vouch for from memory. But anyways my family has been there when I feel like I have no one else, I can't make it to the next level and I am worth nothing at all because I did not succeed at my first attempt. They push me to be more than I have ever seen myself even if at times that mean suggesting I be an FBI Agent instead of teaching high school math. =) Either way they only want the be...

There are various aspects of my life at the moment that are unclear to me and I would like to have perfect. But there is this little thing called "reality" that ruined that whole idea =) There is the fact that people may perceive me in away that is not accurate. For one I am actually smarter than I care to show and at times I am shy or soft spoken. I don't like crowds and big scenes but I make the best of most situations because that is where I am. I have to be able to work with the world around me because I am apart of it and it does not revolve around me. I know that I am not the center of the universe, despite what some people may believe I think and as a side not, neither is anyone in the world the center of it, not one person or group of people so stop acting like you deserve the most respect when you barely show any that is truly sincere enough to be deemed respect. And that's another problem I have, all the people who put themselves on pedestals for reason t...
