Tonya Helms Poems

There is still inequality in this world of many different faces
Racism and prejudices are found in many of its races
In the African American culture
It’s between the dark and light skin
...

There are storms raging all around.
In our own lives and it’s sometimes.
Hard to stand
When you’re at your lowest
...

I’m really not liking this thing we’re going through
Makes me feel like I could be a fool
Oh yeah I know our souls are locked
But somehow I feel like you, your feelings you block
...

Today I sit here and ponder the trials and struggles that have been won
Remembering the marches and the words of faith,
“We shall overcome” were the words sung.
The verse in Hebrews, “Now faith is the substance,
...

I’m falling in deep with my sins left to reap
Because of your actions, my promise I did not keep
Ghosts of my past stare in my face
Living in lust and out of your grace
...

You see I’ve changed
No longer am I a bird in cage
My wings have spread and I’m ready to fly
No more long goodbyes
...
