Lift Your Head Up - Poems of Gaybriel Rockett

Lift Your Head Up

Lift your head up Queen

Lift your head up King

People gon’ be mean

So in between

Walk with your head held high

Make a connection with the sky

It’s alright to let out a deep sigh

‘Cuz things will be alright

If not now, very soon

It can just be a matter of the moon

It’s placement or displacement

Just keep your head lifted

Don’t settle for complacent

You suppose to grow

You are here to glow

If things haven’t changed

Keep your head lifted for the show

Not for anyone else

Only to become your best self

No matter the circumstance

Keep your head lifted

Give your Being a chance

With your head lifted

So will your spirit be

With these two lifted

You can get through anything 

Happily

Just Keep Going

There will come a time when u want to stop

When you want to hide

When you will break your stride

There will be times when no one is around

When all you feel is down

When all u wear is a frown 

In this moment

Take this moment

And tell yourself 

I must keep going

I must keep growing

I must keep glowing

These words alone

Will sit you back on your throne

You will find your way home

But you gotta make this known

Tell yourself “I got this”

“Yes, I am great”

This place you are at is not your fate

It’s just a state

Navigate through it

Tell yourself “I will do it”

It’s just a stop

Something like a hop

You are headed to your destiny

This I need you to believe

Just keep going

Please keep knowing

You are great!

It’s just now showing

You Are Not Alone

You are not alone

I am here with you

You don’t need many 

Maybe one or two

Keep your friends close

Sometimes they do the most

But when times get tough

You, your friends, and family 

Should take a toast

Cheer it on

Don’t be alone

When you feel blue

Have someone near you

Let’s take it higher

To a higher power

Sometimes you don’t need the physical

Cuz sometimes humans devour...

So call on a higher power

I’m talking ‘bout in your darkest hour

Quiet time

And grateful thoughts 

These are some things that brought me out

So from one star to the other

You are not alone

I am your sister, your mother, and brother

I am everything that you need

In your darkest hour

Call on me

The Light
