Mature Poets Only. Please Tell Me Whats Confusing About This Poem That I Wrote.?
If I am tempted to die before I wake, I pray to my Lord that my soul won’t break./
Shaking the fear of snakes who decided to stay up late to, try my faith./
“Does he have what it takes?”/
Mediocre or great?/
And time won’t wait./
Besides my side isn’t on time and I know time isn’t on my side./
So when you stare in the eyes of I, you’ll find a driven king who refuse to die./
Should you ask why? Check out my past:/
I see past the false subliminal and advertisements./
A wise man told me to search for myself behind my eye lids./
Yet I started crying, but then I remember that my uncle told me that men don’t cry./
Subsequently my aunt told me that men do lie./
So I lied on my pillow with my eyes close.
Until the sun-light rose and shined on my face. And I saw me with my back against a willow tree./
I called my name but I started running from me./
I ran after until I found a imitation/
who discourage me from chasing but little did the counterfeit know that I’m motivated by the doubt of my critics./
So i ran further
until i hear the little boy who stuttered.
And his peers deserted him so he started searching for his mother./
But his mother was searching for a man to love her.
And that man was looking for a one night stand undercover./
So i ran more
until i found a door , room 13. I was about to intrude but I saw a teenager coming out the room./
Black eyed, bloody nose, jeans with grass stains, and you can see the white meat in his knuckles./
He said that he was a victim of gang violence but he just wanted to get food from the store so that him and his sister could eat./
He said “Three days a week i had to walk this street. It was like the gangsters heard my stomach growling so they served up beef.
and one dude had heat and he threaten to use it if I swing again.”/
I asked how old were these boys and he responded that they were grown men./
I wanted to hug this boy but he ran from me too./
So i stopped running because I was low on stamina./
Then I decided to write a letter to God but I was unable to./
And then all components that made up me came back./
And they said that they ran from me because I denied the fact:
-that I am unable to die and that nothing and no one defines my ability, but me./
Should you ask why? My answer is that on the other side of that willow tree was God./
And while that stuttering little boy was searching for his mom, there was God./
When the teenager came out the room bloody nose and black eyed/
that there was something much greater than his circumstances that was holding him together./
Motivated him to believe that if he go after his dreams that he can endure any weather./
So if I am tempted to die before I wake, I pray to my Lord that my soul won’t break./

Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles With Only 4 Grams Net Carbs Each!
A chocolate truffle starts with a simple blend of chocolate and cream called a ganache. If you’veevery savored a smooth, creamy chocolate truffle before you will appreciate how similar this sugar free version is. This recipe is not low in calories or low in fat. It is rich, decadent and luxurious. But, it is low in carbohydrates and has only 4.0 grams net carbs in each full sized dark chocolate-like truffle. This makes an excellent gift for your favorite diabetic chocoholic or a wonderful addition with the other goodies set out on your holiday table for your guests. If hazelnut is not your favorite you can roll the truffles in almond meal, your favorite ground nuts or even in unsweetened cocoa powder. The choice is yours. Simple to make and absolutely mouth watering delicious, everyone will think you slaved for hours and chances are no one will know they are sugar free unless you tell them. I hope you enjoy.
Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
Ingredients:
4 ounces unsweetened bakers chocolate (4 squares), chopped fine
1 cup Splenda
1 tsp. unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. hazelnut meal, or desired choice of coatings
Chop the chocolate fine and place in a medium sized bowl along with the Splenda. Heat the cream until it just begins to bubble. Pour over the chocolate and Splenda mixture and add the butter. Stir with a whisk. Add the vanilla extract and stir well until everything is melted and well blended. Transfer to a container, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until it hardens slightly.
To finish your truffles sprinkle the hazelnut meal on a small plate. Place about one tablespoonful of ganache in palm and roll around lightly to form a ball. True truffles are oddly shaped and not perfectly round so don’t worry too much. Also, the more you handle the ganache the more the warmth of your hands may begin to soften it. You may also consider wearing latex gloves for this part because it does get a bit messy. Drop each truffle into the hazelnut meal and roll around until it is completely covered. Repeat this process until all the ganache is used. Refrigerate again for about an hour so the truffles can set up.
