At the age of 6, I began writing. Needing an outlet to take my mind away from the abuse I was enduring writing became the most beautifulest thing I could ever do. And so with my little naive hands, I, my pencil and pad sat about writing any and everything I ever reflected on. Being 6 believe me there was alot my mind experienced.
The birth of Blueberry State of Mind came On March 1,2011. Yet another milestone in my healing process. This book has alot of what I wrote from the age of 6 to now. I am encouraging all to pick up their copy of Blueberry State of Mind, a collection of reflective truths by Missy Smith available @Amazon, Barnesandnoble, Xlibris, Booksamillion and your local bookstores. Do not forget to follow me on twitter @msprettyeyes33 and facebook Author Missy Smith
I wish to thank all who are constantly reading my reflections on my blog, facebook and following me on twitter. I wish to also thank all who believe in me enough to purchase my book journeying with me and seeing my transformation from "Victim to Victorious".
I am the epitome of SURVIVOR!

Blueberry State of Mind, a collection of reflective truths
Blueberry State of Mind, a collection of reflective truths by Missy Smith
Here are 3 sneak peak excerpts from my book Blueberry State of Mind, a collection of reflective truths.
Heh girl, you're feeling down girl
Know it's been rough
However, the hard part’s over girl
Only up is where you are now destined
So good you will be
So envious they will become
Beating rhythmless beats on their own drums
No more tears girl
No more pain girl
Only laughter
Only joys
They'll say something’s different girl
You'll say I know
Secret to them unknown
Smiling cuz only you'll know
Heh girl
Be patient girl
It’s coming
You'll love it
Your heart will sing
As your beauty reigns supreme
Be patient girl
It’s coming girl
You're coming girl
Listen...

Other
pg 51
My status is other
My race is other
My disposition is other
My skin color is brown
Application in hand asking what race am I
????
What difference does it make?
What does it matter the color I come in?
Various fusions of my DNA has no bearing on my ability I do say
I am human
I am caring
Hardworking
Dedicated
Not giving in to these stereotypical prejudices
Before we proceed you first must know my status i.e. color of my skin
You will see once we come face to face
However, I see you are trying to judge this book before actually reading it
Can't do that
My status depicts other
More complex
Full of intellect
Ready to discriminate soon as you see what is checked
Not enough descriptive spaces for me to tell my true race story
Naw, I am much more diverse
So instead of eliciting confusion
I simply choose to check other first!
Better days are coming
pg82Heh girl, you're feeling down girl
Know it's been rough
However, the hard part’s over girl
Only up is where you are now destined
So good you will be

Victim No More
pg 104
I’ve swam with sharks
Petted dolphins
Rode horses
Walked alongside lions
Gentle giants
Been defiant early on
Tell me no
I shall take it as a yes
Slam a door
I will simply open it back up
Walking through head high
Never been a rule follower
Though sometimes rule breaker
Team leader
Spirit lifter
Mountain climber
Obstacle over-comer
Do not tell me I am wrong
When I know I am right
See I have been through hell
Right here on earth
Tears falling as I have finally put me first
No more pain
Mind will not allow it
Drama free
Victim no more
Realizing then I was nothing with you
Knowing now, I am everything without you

Strength,
There comes a time when one must stand and be counted.
Never is there reason to allow yourself to become beaten to the pointof no return.
The road to "Strength" is paved with truth and wisdoms.
Yet many fail to see the value in this way of thinking.
So many times we settle for less than what we truly believe we are worth.
Many will keep you down in order for themselves to rise up.
Saying simply to self you are someone is not enough.
You must do more than say it, you must also prove it.
Not just to others, but to yourself that you are actually that
someone who not only matters, but who also counts.

Forgiv'n U
This is a reflection I wrote about an ex who truly showed me the meaning of having a broken heart. I never thought this would happen to me but it did and I have over and over again written about this and many other feelings he caused me to feel.
As you should be able to tell, I am an emotional writer.
Forgiv'n U
By Missy Smith
I was so angry with you
Feelings of betrayal you heaped upon me split my being in 2
I thought we were forever
At least that's what I believed since you told me this very thing
My trust, my soul, my heart was totally invested
Sharing my darkest secrets as you promised to keep me protected
How did we go from I love you to I hate you in the span of 7 years
Heh J, whatcha doing today
I remember it like yesterday
I'd call and say wanna come out and play
Smiling you'd say I'm on my way
Preparations for our nightly bliss begins
My body smelling of vanilla with a hint of cherries awaited her "King"
Our greetings of heh Mami, heh Papi followed by sweet kisses
Damn I do admit how sometimes I miss those cherry lips
Mmmmmmm just one of many things that had me whipped
The eye of the storm nearby
Remembering how you sensually made my body cry
Caressing gently my being as your fingers ran through my curly hair
Did you ever love me?
Forget I asked
Sometimes the truth is more than one can actually bear
So I’ll just pretend when u said it, u actually did mean it
Forget that you forgot my birthday, even though we share the same day
Forget that I waited even after you left
Forget that you broke my soul when you abandoned it
Forget that you promised to love me forever
See now, none of that even matter
For that was then and this is now
And I've released that pain of past from my heart of today
Yes I still smile when I remember the good times
And yes I occasionally cry asking myself why
But I have learned asking never brings the answer one truly seeks
Tragic was our break
No longer do I awake to feelings of heartache
Anger gone
Hate, a thing I couldn't convince myself to keep hanging onto
But through all our ups and downs, I hate you's, I love you's
Just wanted to say J, I truthfully forgive you
As you should be able to tell, I am an emotional writer.

Embracing gentle stirrings of my pens velvety ink
Brazenly etching permanently across the pages my creative offerings.

Truly Missy
So I have decided to do this blog on blogger. I have so many out there but felt this new one will best rep me. Well, I finally published my book Blueberry State of Mind, a collection of reflective truths by (yours truly) Missy Smith available @ Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Xlibris.com, Booksamillion.com, Borders and your local bookstores. I am amazed by the openness I allowed this book to take on. Sometimes going through pain you tend to keep things bottled up and I just no longer felf the need to do this. I am an emotional writer and in actuality it helps me with the releasing of what I have termed my "Emotional Truths". I began writing at the age of 6 as it was a way for my mind to escape the physical and mental abuse I unfortunately had to endure. It has taken a long time to come to grips with the road my life landed upon but I know now the beauty of SURVIVING and so I will shout it to the rooftops if need be that I am a SURVIVOR and nothing nor anyone can ever take that from me.
Blueberry State of Mind represents my healing. There are poems and reflections gracing these 130 pages. A lot of the poems in this book were written from the age of 6 to now. I am so proud that I allowed my vision to be seen by you all. Many more of my reflections can be found on my facebook page under Author Missy Smith, also you can read more about me on wix.com/authormissysmith/poet
as well as following me on twitter @msprettyeyes33
Again, I love writing as it is a permanent part of me and I will continue to share these writing with you, the world.
I am Missy Smith, Author of Blueberry State of Mind, a collection of reflective truths.
Writer of "Life" and everything in-between.

EFIL
By Missy Smith
Hell, right here on earth
But you won’t know it for I smile brighter than any rays the sun could ever produce
My gift and yet my curse
Never one to complain, that is to the world
But to me I do all too often
Just wish this sh#t inside my head quits buzzing
I know I am ok
Just have to start believing it
Here I am a Mother, Author, Poet, and Dreamer
And still I find fault in every one of those facets
I guess I am so use to things being far from perfect
Until when happiness occurs I look for excuses to down her
Complicated life of past
Equals me complicating my life of now
Damn it Missy Stoppppppppp
Stop self imploding
Stop self doubting
Stop entertaining negativity
Start remembering your speeches to others
Empowering not just them but you
Take them horrors of then
And kick their asses now
The voices, yes the voices tell them to take a freaking hike
Remember you are a Queen
A Survivor
Yes U are a motherf#cking factor
Your wounds of old are all healed now
Your past is past
Your future is blazing
For you are walking a path of amazing
Backwards thoughts are now forward thinking’s
EFIL=LIFE,
Mine!
