All my Haitianness
Love overflows, like the Caribbean' roll
Through tears and smiles, I hold you tight,
My heart beats for you, day and endless night.
Beyond the sky, where palm trees sway,
My love for you will find its way.
In the rhythm of Kompa and traditional drums,
Our love song echoes, forever to become.
Through struggles and triumphs, I ‘ll hold on,
To the hope that guides us strong and long.
My scared hope, a beacon in the night
Will rise, a phoenix, shining with delight.

The Original Man Is Us
The shapes of resilience, forever just begun
I am the echoes of ancestors, the voices of pride
A symphony of survival, where love abides
From the depths of struggle to the heights of triumph
I rise , a phoenix, where hope and joy entwine
My identity, a flame, that burns like a fire
Guiding generations, through the darkest of mires
I am the original, a work of art in progress
A masterpiece of humanity, forever in process
I am the beauty, the pain, the tears, and the strife
A statement to the strength , of the human life.

Let Me Rested
Six feet under, where weary souls can sleep
After the sweat and tears, the struggles and the pain
Let me find solace, in eternal rest, and love that remains
May my hearts be still, my minds at ease
As we surrender to the earths' gentle breeze
No more sorrow, no more strife
Just the quiet peace, of eternal life
Let me rest, and let my spirits soar
In the great beyond, where love awaits in store
No more fear, no more doubt
Just the eternal peace that i have sought
Let me rest in this silence place
And let my souls, find his eternal space.

On The Shoulders Of Ours Ancestors
We have survived the trials of time.
Through the fire of resilience
We still exist, our spirits aligned
In the face of adversity’s might,
We have found the strength to carry on.
Through the darkness and the light
Our humanity has been forged, like a beacon to dawn
With every step, with every fall,
We rise again, our hearts standing tall
For we are the master of our fate
And our resilience will forever create.
