Big bright star
Our precious baby
you`re not so far.
When I`m sad
and feeling alone,
I close my eyes and know
you`re in heavens home.
Every day my heart aches,

"I've never done this before can we just take it slow?"
"Yeah don't worry girl i'll be gentle."
"Wait.. you have a condom right?"
"Nah but it's ok I'll be sure to pull out...."
Confusion on a silver platter served up quite nicely for all to enjoy.
Or rather to think of in a derogatory way within themselves.
The case may vary, as many grow weary.
When I look out the window and see the leaves blowing, I wish I could float away from all the mess I've created. All the pain I have caused, all the stress I need to escape from. My breath is shallow, my heart is aching I cant hold back from the
She was
bullied.
She was teased.
Ugly, slut, whore
They said.
She
was suicidal.
She was extremely unhappy
and wanted to give up on life.
Then.
She found happiness.
People saying that it will get betterWhenWhen will it get better?Living through hell each dayThey don’t know what they are doingAnd it gets better?
Pay attention, you need to know this.
Sit up, It's disrespectful to have your head down when I'm talking
Why isn't your work done?
Long days,
Even longer nights.
Momma workin' overtime just to keep the lights.
Dads gone,
Don't give a damn really.
It's survival of the fittest in this big city.
You see me walking in the halls,
I dont know why you make me fall.
On the inside and out you break me down,
But they still treat you like the class clown.
Its not funny the way you make us feel,
Today was the day,
Where you decide you didn't want to stay,
you have fought so hard,
Today you finallyput down your guard.
Too bad it was too late,
Way, way too late,
They tell you that they got you,They tell you that they're there.You smile with ease,lie to yourself,"Man i dont gotta be scared."
I walk around school
Constantly scared, confused, and needing.
I need the help of my friends.
My friends that left me,
My friends that said they'd always be there for me.
They all left,
That old book, in the corner, dusty and left behind. That is God to me. That book will always be there for me and anyone who needs him.
A room full of students
different and unique as can be. Laughter can be heard from all directions,
like thunder rumbling in the distance. As you move closer, laughter turns artifical.
I Am Art.
And Art Is Me. We are one.
We both share the same peculiar personalities.
When a room is dim, we illuminate the ambience.
Our bond is inflexible; the vibrant light blinding our audience.
If I tell you how I feel,
You'll laugh at my joke.
You'd tell me that I'm stupid,
and leave me here alone.
Deserted in the desert,
Crowded in the streets.
I've fallen into your eyes, lies, & shame.
There is a reflection of pain in her eyes, as she fights back tears.Trying to figure out why she has put up with it all of these years.Innocence gone.Just taken away.Struggling to deal with it & be free someday.
She is mysterious
Yet comes in many ways
She works for an eternity
Works with no mercy
She's an awesome multitasker
She never rest
She causes broken families
Shes heartless, and ruthless
Eyes Like Diamonds
Perfect Black Silky Hair
Long Legs
Awkward Attractive Smile
Curvy Body
Flawless Smooth White Skin
Blessed With A Heartwarming Spirit
Exotic Personality
I sit and watch. Watch you talk. Watch you teach. Talk, talk, talk. Trying to stay awake. Taping, Drawing, Texting. Not interested. In what you are talking about. In what you are explaining. Why. Why can I not move? Why can I not talk?
Company,
Mindless thoughts to tell them,
Saying what you think.
Bright one early Sunday,
He took my hand in his claiming it.
Choppy words and sounds,
Playing through the day,
Emotions are whirling
Stress finds me everywhere
Sometimes I just want to be alone
I don't know how much of this I can bear
Emotions are whirling
Stress finds me everywhere
Sometimes I just want to be alone
I don't know how much of this I can bear
Gentle rain pattering outside,streaks of water tricklingdown the pane of glass.Listen.The shrill squeakas her hand slowly sliddown the window.Wishingshe could just claw her way
Its crazy to go from a gangster to a christian
A loud mouth to a listener
A gun toter to a bible holder
A brother fighter to a man molder
To go from ripping and running the streets
To hymnals moving my feet
I know all you have is me
And that I will never be enough
But I will bind our love together
With such a force
I will shoot fireworks from the tip of my tongue every time I speak of you
So long for now,
till we meet again.
together forever,
you are my bestfriend.
my heart is breaking,
tears are now falling.
You had to leave,
because heavan was calling.
shut them out, as I suffer to breathe
Where are the words?
Can we talk instead of scream?
My opinion remains unheard
The violent escapade
on the frigid ground, I laid
he charged at me,
I am just ordinary, she
is so extraordinary
more than she can ever,
ever imagine.
When we met, we were lost
like bees trying to find its honey
we were lost.
Flows from my mental coming straight outta my dental
On to a page from the pen or a pencil
As I sit here staring at that picture so soft in my hands
I can’t help but think when it will end
The memories all rush back into me like smoke clouding my lungs
If I die today
would you remember me tomorrow?
If I dropped dead
would you give a damn?
If I stopped breathing
Strong enough to stand alone in a blitz
Bombarded...
Deception after deception after deception
It will never stop
It will never seize
It's life's cold hearted tactic made to rid of the weak.
Where I Am From
I am from the unknown in what’s known.
Roots for many simply ignored.
Sky blue and white,
Momma use to cook for me before i went school
She use have to wake me twice before I finally woke
She use to say no grumpy morning was her only rule
She use to make me laugh with her old Knock knock jokes
As I lay there thinking, it all turns black
I think to myself there's no turning back
I scream and I cry and I try to move
But what was I thinking, there is nothing to prove
I cannot help but to criticize
Reminiscing is a word of a thousand blows
A picture that pierces my soul for many pros’
The struggles that made me enlightened like a turtle in their slows
The years have flown by like birds fleeing in throes
Hiding in the closet while teardrops are flowing
Wondering when is this feeling of despair going to end
But wait!! I see a light peaking through these hidden doors
Or is it my future looking bright as the blazing sun
I'm just walking, trying to get by.
Irritated by the fact, I don't even try.
Excuses after excuses, what is there left to say.
I'm in the fetal position, and all I can do is pray.
Take a deep breath and brace yourself. Take your steps 'til accomplishment is felt. Move ahead three steps at a time or what works best for you. Don't ever stop or miss your cue, because success doesn't move without you.
Here's to the ones that allow negativity to swell their minds
To only see the falsehoods implemented by their brain
Who don't see what is in front of them, but has believed to see within each and every positive action
The strength of a woman is her kindhearted ways
that she forever displays.
It’s her loving confident smile that takes you to the
highest place with the glimpse of determination
shone upon her face.
The strength of a man is his arms
that protect you and keep you warm.
It is his caring ways
of the affection that he displays.
Yes, tis you that have cut me,
my body, the wound, not yours.
It is not my blood that I’m bleeding,
but you. Every sharp inch, each
dull thud of a heartbeat, footsteps
on my threshold. Hold me again,
