Bound with gold,
wine – flush cries,
running here on your prayer. By now
If you trust and obey my words:
the evil will be gone by mine own words,
At a time of indecisiveness, I was lost and unsure.
It was a year when I felt the pressure and anxiety
Of not knowing what I wanted.
tran is cool
he is huggable
he is inspirational
he made me who i am
he talked to me first
he had great thirst for volunteering
he kept me running
Captain, surely they cannot expect me to lead.
Surely there will be instructions left for me.
This ocean is vast and will swallow you whole
surely a child isn’t meant to battle it alone.
I was told being an extrovert was better.
But what they didn't know,
Was that the words were a heavy blow.
I didn't want to be "better"
Wayward students bobbing aimlessly
Wanderers, idle, unfocused, undisciplined
“heads up keels down; keep your bearing”
Vigilant and watchful - ever watchful
You are blind.
Do you realize our shape?
You are misfitted, who are you, one of a kind?
No, I think not.
You do not come together.
Instead, we're all the same but yet we are separated;
As leader you have to protect,not to neglect for everything that comes your way.
As a leader you have to listen to the information.
For your nation.
As leader you should express yourself
His smile is so enticing.
It yanks them out of an abyss,
His promises,
Are the music that wake them up in the morning.
MURDERED FEW
Through these eyes I done seen it all and balled with the best of them
The rest of them......
Seen them all fall, 'they spoke death to them"
(respect for him)
Who am I?
Am I another cover of a magazine?
Am I an enlarged and edited pristine figurine
Waiting to be picked up off a shelf?
Will I reduce myself to being fueled by the greedy views of bigtime CEOs
Who am i?
who do i look like?
i look like a boy
with a distinctive face
i look like a girl
when i choose to.
I am a leader
i lead the flutes
i watch my "children" grow
So much has happened during these last few months
Friendships have broken, Enemies have formed
Even my sexuality roamed.
I don't know what to say, really
Haters exist
Deserving my fist
I just want to be an inspration
To those with a dedication
To become better then what they were yesterday
only to realize that your most important days are the day you are born
and the day you find out why
Some people are born leaders.
Other people are born followers.
Leaders can be followers,
but followers can't be leaders.
Her roar
Erupts the peace
The plains grow quieter
She cries for her kingdom and they
Echo
I go through struggles everyday, yet I still stand
Here now and moving forward always ready
Green eyews follow where ever I am
My cunning is often deadly
This is something I ask myself every now and then!
They told my parents “She has ADHD”.
In private school there is no help for this.
A Women of All Odds
Please pay no attention to the women behind those books
Intelligence is over-rated; twerking is all the new rage
See,
I'm seeing
I'm dreaming,
I've been achieving,
Overcoming and healing
from a life of grieving
embarking on a mission to freedom
there is no concealing me
its been my destiny
The truth of the matter:
I'm a pretty little white girl.
I have problems, but so do you.
By looking at the divisions
We isolate and impede the vision
Of a better home, a better heart
"OMG you too Ms. Imani?You see I... I thought I was the only"Thats what this young girl said to meas she glared at meno longer feeling lonely.
There once was a world that was darkBut in one girl there was a small light.This girl was able to leave a mark
As i stood in front of my team with pride ,i thought to myself this is the start of a new begininng.Tiny little faces starred at me ,with glory and pride.I knew that from here on it wasnt only about me but the team as a whole.
Riding for miles, Your perfect smiles,
Silent conversations, Innocent flirtations,
The hot, sunny days, They passed me in a daze,
Mindless texts, Not knowing what comes next,
Sometimes we disagree,
But that’s okay.
To be perfectly honest,
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
You’re always there,
You’ve helped me grow,
And you always know what to say,
My friends call me mom.
Jokingly, not in bad content.
I keep my friends out of trouble:
"go to work instead of going to that party",
"Have you done your homework yet?"
My heart has become concave
do you not see the mess youve made?
by telling children how to behave
by telling children they arent great
be it by default or by defame
you supress us
you are the bullies
December ashes cold and gasping lay,
upon the earth- the Millions gray.
Amidst the frozen earth of Ash, the torches flame--
the Light holding back these Bleak days.
they burn-
Love
Pave the way
Crave to say
When push comes to shove
Float up above
Sin
Beauty is within thy name
Cover up with shame
If you want to win
You must sin
A tangled, blue wisp of air
Struggled to become violet.
Others swam past
Becoming her to follow
She faded...
Turned plum, turned fire
Only to return blue.
She called on them to follow,
Above the raindrops of the shower head
my thought scream loudly
and my heart wails in silence.
Shock and sadness hit me
stronger than a title wave
with the awareness: I have always felt alone.
Suffocating in darkness
As a diseased light paved my way
I attempted to scale the barriers
That separated me from the outside where life thrived
Who am I to deny who I am?
It may not be right
It isn’t desirable
But I’m not going to pretend
You must be cool and composed
You must- even when all are opposed
You must deny your morals and speak tact
You must unite your comrades, you have a pact
