Anywhere But Here
Forever 21
Life has taken me on some amazing journeys
Ran into some people who hurt me
Burned me
Will I forgive them at this moment?
Or push it to the side till I'm 30
Just got off the phone with my mother
She gets tired of me thanking her every day
When I was 2 she plucked me and my sister out gutter
We had our downfalls
Bad days and rough days
But I wouldn't dare
Throw that all away
For her cake day
Gave her some jewelry and TV
That was as almost tall as me
It made feel good doing something for someone else
Cause that's what my mother has pushed into me
Since I was 3
Thank you in every way Angela Renée
You weren't the softest of people
But you're intimidating nature
Help shade away the evil
Help me accept the fact
That forever I would be the size of a beagle
Lil dog with a big bark
I push the boundaries to the fullest they're allowed
Because that's the way I'll leave my mark
I have poems for days
So my words will never leave you
I have to get it right the 1st time
Because in life there are no re-dos
I've built myself up to be a mystery to some
Because it's no fun being see through
Everyone can have the same glasses you
But you still can't control how they see you
My head gets longer
And my vision gets worse
But does that mean I see you differently
As my vision evolves from 20/70
Get well soon Karmy
Get Well Soon Ms. Stephanie
I value my friendships as I get older
Cause my tears need tissues
Or a shoulder
To drip on
If I die tomorrow I have my 2 dogs to help me live on
All I have to do is cook em some bacon and eggs
They're too spoiled to eat bones
Bad to the bone
You know you have a problem
When there's no peace in your home
Free Rocky Please Free Rocky
Chunky and Skip are trapping out her house
And Skip’s grandkids are naughty
She may have given birth to me
But she never burped me
God bless her
I still consider her like a cousin
So I guess the details are whatever
If I'm supporting too many people
Will the stress put me on a stretcher?
Dr. Williams
Please save me from this deranged derogatory
I wouldn't have made it without Japera
She's an interesting piece to my story
I want the very best for her and my cast of my friends
They come before I or me
Thank God and my Granny Weezy
Those are my confidants and my hierarchy
My granny taught me
That grudges shouldn't be kept
But not everyone will lead you down the right path
So you have to be aware of surroundings and watch steps
Watch toes that you step on
Watch bridges that you burn
F your best friend and mine
Lil Johnny had to learn
I'll never have any respect for Erin
No matter how the pages turn
I'll swallow my pride
And she'll swallow sperm
I make sure I wash my hands around her
Cause genitalia is the main place where you pick up germs
Without any respect
There's no nothing
And I have a valid explanation
If my reasoning ever gets summoned
F her
Poor Whitney gets caught in the middle of all this
She gets me
But I can tell she doesn't like it
I rather not put her in a place to choose sides
So my attacks and facts are rare and quiet
How long can I fight
The feeling of wanting to fight Erin
3 years and she still hasn't given me my $1,400
That's the main reason she can't quit staring
She's wrong
But it's whatever
One day I'll just get fed up
And get her
Anyone but her
I talked about her enough the last time
Why talk about her when I got
Whitney, Japera, and Karmy that I call mine
Japera texted me yesterday and apologized
I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes
Why was she apologizing for being a good compadre?
In the 2 years, I've known her
She's done nothing but be down for D'Andre
21 last Saturday
But since I turned 20 I've been a savage
Poetry is my art form
IPhone notes is my palate
Every day is Valentine’s Day
Every day should be treated like a ballad
N'importe ou mais ici
There's more to me than you’ll ever see
Even if you have bifocals
Me being anti-social is hormonal
Grandma Johnny's surgery was a success
But she still needs to have her affairs together
But that's up to her
I'm not gonna stress
RIP Grandpa Jerry, Cousin T-Pickett, and Erik
RIP D Stokes
I'll be OK with dying tomorrow
Along I don't die alone or die broke
RIP Eric Tellis
RIP Dino, Detez, and Savannah
I drunk one Maui Margarita for my 21st birthday
The rest of the night for me was filled with Fanta
I have to stay aware and awake
Cause family is the 1st to join enemies
Thick'ems Bre
Had to lay hands on this one B
If the girl's friend wasn't in the way
She would have required surgery
Nice people can't remain nice
Cause a generous person can be filled with Derby Pie
And the ornery people will take advantage and take a slice
Jump On Happiness
Never Neglect Yourself
I rather you have in life
Then have wads and wealth
On the road to being old
Sometimes the car to Calvary gets hard to steer
I'm driving driving
Almost near
To my destination to Anywhere But Here
3 car wrecks in 9 months
Riding shotgun isn’t fun
Those dang Chinese people
Hit us on my side on Derby
Seeing my car like that in t\hat state hurt me
For the year and a half
Creamy the Car served her purpose
Gave her a new alternator, starter, tires, brake lines, door, and thermos
So young so bright
Why did she give up her life?
She thought of others before herself
She cried out for help
Pretty, intelligent, smart
The list goes on
Her soul will always live on
No one can understand
Why she disappeared from this land
We love her
She is still with us in our hearts
Our feelings are open and not in the dark
Devoted and committed all of the above
Filled with a big heart and lots of love
A sister and a friend
Her heart we can’t mend
We will see you soon
In another land above
Yes I’m still talking about Creamy the Car
She’s just more important than a lot of y'all are
One day you'll understand what I see
One day you'll go through what
I have gone through
I think you will love me then
I think then you will care for me
Tomorrow you will care for me
Next week I will love you
This month I will hate you
And next month you will hate me
But today I despise you
Because you hurt me
You lied
I found out and confronted you
Then you did
The unthinkable
One day you will understand
Why it is I cry
But today isn't the day you understand why it is I cry
When you yell and raise your hands
Does this make me less of a man?
But till then I will cry because of what you did
My tears are escaping from their prison bid
I almost cried when my daddy told me he loved me
It’s one thing to hear it from a friend or a buddy
This is my pops of all people
At a young age he was separated from me
I hate the Kentucky court systems
But I couldn’t miss him
Because you can’t miss what you never had
But this time around Dontay Dunaway isn’t getting away
I can’t remember a time where I had a mom and a dad
A Jessye and Chelsea
They’ve helped me
Reached this pinnacle
I’m all for giving credit where it’s due
So I have to at least distribute a little
Pray for Ms. Stephanie
Prayers also need to go to Cedric
I wasn’t always the smartest in the room
But I could be the most smart Elec
Aboulic agency
Pray for JadeB
That’s my peoples
And life is crazy
But Jade B is G
I’ll always have faith in you
Even if I don’t have faith in me
Who invented family trees?
Some days I feel like breaking a couple branches off mine
Are Aunties really aunties?
Are favorite cousins really mine
Cousin Karenton is divine
I remember we used to play with her Polly Pockets
And any other dolls we could find
Then me and my sister would take turns riding on Karenton's scooter
Cousin Courtney was like Angelica
So we always came out as losers
I like going over Karenton's house
Cause she had that good toilet paper Charmin
I would stay on the toilet for like an hour
Cause the soft cotton against my bottom was warming
But the soft and good times don’t last forever
Uncle Jerome's death was alarming
I didn’t go to his funeral
So of course I heard my family jarring
They pour out their anger
Pour my heart out to you in writing
I tell you my feelings from inside
I pray these words are to your liking
Because with them I threw out my pride
How can I tell you I love you?
When you seem to never hear me
How will you know my feelings are true?
If you'll not open your heart to see
But I'll continue on forever
Not only with words, but with my heart as well
I'm sure one day you'll understand
Because my love for you is so real
My love for you
Is the same of what husbands do?
I Love you being the words I'll forever say
I put up walls around me so that others couldn't see
Just how much I was hurting
And just how much I needed thee
Blamed the Lord for anything that had went wrong
I said He wrecked my family and took away my brother and sister
I said He knew I hated Rocky at the time
But why take away what’s mine
But then one day the hurt became so clear
He said, “John I must do this so you'll be strong without fear
I did not understand it then nor do I understand it now
I see little bits and pieces and wonder
God just how
How do you plan to make this shipwrecked life of mine complete
How do you plan to put this work together and to make it neat?
We are so small right now, but soon we'll understand
Maybe through Erik’s death and Briana’s hiatus
One soul had gotten saved
I’m 21 now
It’s time to be brave
It’s time to realize that Whitney and Kenneisha
Won’t be looked at as amazing in everyone eyes
F A Best-friend and F your eyesight
Jalyn is that cold bottle of Pepsi
And Jade and Karmy are cold Sprites
Alongs they have Johnny they’ll have light
They’ll have my passion
We don’t have to wearing the same clothes
But our love will be matching
They understand me
And the understanding is everlasting
Anywhere But Here
Everywhere in those who don’t like me thoughts and heart
On the road to understatement
I’ve warmed up the car so let’s start
