Wisdom


Its not that I'm afraid of death

I'm afraid of not seeing what happenes next.

cause after death there may be an afterlife,

where after thoughts rest with the aftershock of old love bites.

they say virginity is a childhood sickness.....

and that the cure lies not with chastity but with wisdom

Am I wise enough to say I have had a good audition for the role of...

me?

 I am not afraid to meet my playwrite, I actually have a few notes of my own I'd like to give him

When I'm dressed for my final scene, I won't hear the crowd cheer my performance

in a coffen. I can't take a bow when I'm fighting my way out of the oak

and ten tons of dirt, and the martini's that taste too much like tears.

Will I have the wisdom to write down my thoughts and hide it away 

for some sick child to find

and read my words, as I cure a once virgin mind?

darkness of the valley

I'm a dreamer, a student, a teacher, a friend, an enemy, anything you make me to be :) it's either adore me or don't. I questions everything and use sarcasm freely. I know kind words but am harsh when I need to be... I have ADHD, so my ideas bounce from place to place I love stars so I love space. my skin is coffee with a lot of cream and a dash of cinnamon I'm a lot of things, race wise. I aspire to go to college preferably NYU!! When I grow up I want to be poet laureate of America one day and by then I want to have a book or two... or 7 (one can dream) I love words like fish love water like Mickey loves Minnie. I can speak English, a little Spanish, and a bit more French than Spanish, I can say Bananna in German.... so does that mean I can speak it? My top 3 comic book characters are Deadpool, Wolverine, and Robin Although I'm a huge fan of the Batman series, I personally feel that Robin carries the whole series. (and he's super cute!) I have a boyfriend, and We're complete opposites. But I love him anyways. I also have a little sister... I was born in Harlem, raised on an Island and this is my bio.
