A New Root Book

I thought about rewriting this book, but it wouldn't be called A New Root if I did, so I wont. I decided to learn from it.

I no longer write expecting people to understand me. I edited, revised, and changed a lot of poems in this book. I shouldn't have. One thing for sure is I learned from it. Once I begin to pour, I pour out what's in me in the moment.

To go back and edit it, almost comes off as if it never happened or I was wrong for feeling that way. It's like telling someone, "you cried the wrong way". How can you cry the wrong way? You can't, you just respond.

Not saying I was crying, and not saying I wasn't.

I reflected and poured.

I encouraged myself in the Lord.

I also encouraged others as requested in some of these poems.

In the end,

1. I'M FOR JESUS

2. NOT EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND ME

3. I'M NOT FOR EVERYBODY

This book is still amazing.

For me, reading this book is like watching myself unravel, I gave whatever fell out in the unraveling. To be honest, i'm still unraveling.

Here’s a quick poem out of the book. I hope it blesses you.

Peace on Earth

Here I am now

Laid back with pretzel legs

Ears being soaked by the stream

Coming from my face.

I’m in love with you;

That is why I feel this way.

They witness my shimmer,

Even I can see the gleam.

I’m in a daze.

I never thought I’d see the days on earth

When peace proposed to me.
