Broken Mirror - The other side

 Broken Mirror - THE OTHER SIDE

In my previous post, I wrote about Keisha's Broken Mirror song. Today, I was going to write about another Song of Hers, when I realized something. You see, as a Born Again Christian and Artist, working with many different arts, I always feel compelled to help others elevate to my position. This in no way Means that I am completely righteous or that my battles and struggles are done for and I always have sunny days. it merely means I now have a duty to call others to Christ. Keisha wrote once, and I've heard many people say it as well, " It's not about the fame or Money or what ever else comes along with these gifts we have. It's about winning souls for Jesus, our Lord and Savoir. She has a string of videos that at first glance, strike you as some real talkative girl with a lot of free time and access to technology. but after watching a good number of them, I realized that sometimes, she spoke to the very hearts of even those who call themselves Christians. I know she's said enough to me (Thanks a lot) that has made me rethink certain decisions and choices. It's always about winning souls. Even if it's just one in a million, it's still reason to celebrate, and we will.

today however, I want to share a song I did some time last year. It's called I See You. in this song, I wanted to encourage people to never give up. I started with telling a story about me and my grandma. She used to tell me, "one day, I'd change" and I'd see life very different from how I saw it then. I never believed her. In fact, actually despised such talk with her because I felt she was telling me that I was going to be ruined and frankly, very useless. I thought she just loved to talk. (for some reason, Grandmas always know what buttons to push. they can get you into any mood they want.) when I got born again, however, i started to understand what she had been saying. She was only telling me that one day, I'd have duties to many people. all she was telling me is that one day, I'd be in a position of influence and people would listen to me so i needed to be ready for it. (Yes, you can say it with me. If I knew then, what I know now). My grandma had taken the time and the responsibility of raising me and others in the right way, giving guidance and advice where possible. I felt it was my turn to take the reigns and help others get to that place as well.

So I picked on two people I see everyday and spoke to them.

The first Person was PLANE JANE. This person, a very scared person. tries to do a lot of things and use their talents, but always get's crushed by those around them. she practices hard in training, she is never late and KNOWS she can overcome. But the minute someone speaks otherwise, she is shoved back into her hole, full of Darkness.

The Second Person owns Keisha's BROKEN MIRROR. This person is never willing to do even what they can. there is no fire in their hearts to DARE. She has all the Pains in the world, complaining about how everyone's life is better than hers. She has tucked away her curiosity and doesn't even want to ask questions in case it leads to a mocking or a scolding. this person thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but won't walk through the OPEN GATE that leads to the Meadow, She won't even enter her own Garden and stays clear of any lawn. She always sits on the beach, and as the sand grows hot beneath feet, she still waits for God's wind to blow the water waves over her so she can cool down, even when she stands two feet from the Ocean.

If you are any of these people that I and Keisha wrote about, know this,

I See you, and not the image you want the world to see, but the real you. i've seen how you always want to cover yourself and turn your talents invisible so the BROKEN MIRROR won't have anything to reflect. But you see, everything you do in that vain is only make belief. You are a BRIGHT FLAME and it's Time to BURN!! So stop being cool about it. I see you.

StrypZ of Tha Black Rose

So here Starts the #blackRossessions. I listen to her Music and make out what I felt the song was talking about. Now here is a disclaimer. What I write here is not always accurate with the song in question. It's merely Me just sharing what I got from the song.
 Here goes.


Recently, Keisha Tha Black Rose Dropped a single called Broken Mirror. This song talks about the struggle that a lot of us go through. Several Times, we find ourselves in situations that make us think less of ourselves. It talks about the false and broken image that several of us have become comfortable with because it seems easier to deal with. My favourite line from the song is the line where she sings
"Hey there Pain addiction, do you love the Monster that's deep within?"...
In this line, I felt she was talking about the anger that drives one to hurt themselves in so many ways. Because you have become comfortable with the situation, you end up causing yourself to hurt, yet from the same hurt comes hate for ones' self because clearly, no one likes anyone who hurts them.
as the song draws to a close, she the breaks into a poem which is just amazing. The way she is able to bring out the fairytale characters and twist their stories, showing to us that not all that glitters is gold. To me, she just told me that you never know what struggles others are going through. so before you wish for another person's situation, carefully understand it.

Keisha Tha BlackRose - Broken Mirror

In the Light of this. I wrote my own poem using the same title.

BROKEN MIRROR

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Build me up and watch me fall
Spend me, draw from the wells of my soul
There is nothing there, but it's your cal
lDrain me, bleed me dry
I've already started with this blade
My oh my, now there's blood on the floor
The darkness has engulfed me
Watch me set fire to my empty heart
I'll burn brighter than the flames of hell
Mirror, mirror made of glass
Your broken shards in my hands
Are covered, stained bright red
What they did is caliginous
I'm choking on blood, down on my knees
I'm nothing but broken bones and cut-up skin so
Mirror, mirror, how long until I finally fall?
"Not long my dear, so give it your all"
My reflection stares back from the broken mirror
Distorted pieces staring from shards of broken mirror
Wondering where these false images come from
I’ve lost myself deeply inside this broken mirror
Disillusioned with myself, finally seeing the truth
That hides within shattered images of broken mirror
One thousand eyes blink, with lies behind each one
Cast at me from the remnants of the broken mirror
Crooked smiles endlessly reflecting back in sadness
Captured is the deep despair by this broken mirror
Scattered about the floor inside each silver shard
My self has been captured into this broken mirror
