I’ve realized something about myself, I’ve realized fear…… I swim because I’m afraid to drown, Climb the tallest mountains because I’m afraid of the height, Skydive because I’m afraid of the fall,
The horses run free and the chaotic winds twirl  As the pyramids collapse and crumble Beneath our very hands

My insomnia colors flowing through my veins I must release it
If I could change the world,I'd make creativity powerful.I'd make it so I would look outside with a smile,Not an unwillingness to face the coming day.
Cars, and toys, and rug burns I am a boy. I am a boy. Basketball, hip-hop, down the block. I am black. I am black.

I have two hands and a brush And a silver palette filled With many colors lush That I swirl and I swill.   My brush I drag across and down. Black drips into white
I’m so tired 
Creativity Can’t Stop   When’s the last time you created something? Anything—a drawing, song, recipe, story?
Words march across the page                         endlessendlessendlessstream of circular creativity             madness?         or art? the wind that sweeps             I will it to sweep me away

Individuality has become a competition Behavior is tailored to receive recognition If everybody’s eyes were closed How different would you be clothed? If your classmates didn’t surround your seat
I breathe, inhaling and exhaling Listening to the kids at the end of the block play One was wearing red One was wearing white And one in black standing in the corner   I breathe, observing and watching
Remember when we ruled the world and our world was all we knew. I ruled over Imagination You ruled over creativity and together we created the universe.
Where is the help? Money is the focus, The goverment may cause money to disappear like hocus pocus While the  children are left helpless, hopeless No arm, leg nor brain to grow,
Living in a world with unopen secrets. Walking around with boxed up feelings. There is no where to escape in the open foreseen world.  To let the unopened box free.
The Nigerian Hierarchy   If I drove a Lexus instead of a Honda Would you agree? Would it be vice versa if my skirt landed above the knee...
My Catharsis   I write, To release my pain.   My catharsis, Carries secrets: Loves lost. Loves gained.   Strained by defeat, My soul softens.  
They say birds of a feather flock together.     But maybe that’s why I feel under the weather. With my body tethered to this world I sought a way to be liberated.
A creative child Driven wild By one’s own imagination   Thoughts abound Running around Dreaming of creation   No one knows A story untold Of one’s pent up emotions  
I dream of aspiring into a successful person, I dream of helping many people with the talent I hold within, I yearn to prove to my fellow companions that change is possible, that we shouldn't be tied down to the same traditional ways, we have the
my mind—                   is as  b     l     a     n     k   as this page—i am                   unmotivated, talking to the wallsuninspired—                        because the walls never talk back to me
I fear that as I grow older,I am not so much getting wiser,But rather, imaginativeIn hiding my lack of knowledge.
I have so much to say, but I cannot find the words.  Give me a topic; I can spit out heart-wrenching stanzas about love, loss, desperation.
Who are you? A lover? A fighter?  Or the common individual aiming to succeed? Whoever you are, you have a set of skills Skills that allow you to take you anywhere in life
Poetry is a form of expression. Creativity using only words.   Poetry is the way words are arranged, And the passion behind those words.   Poetry is art.
These are nights with weary eyes. Nights that allow my brain to construct more elaborate lies to feed myself. But these are nights that mix colors with my hands instead of behind my eyelids.
(poems go here) Life’s bumpy roads and harsh realities Are what brought me to the refuge of poetry. A world where you have little money, Where the lady on the news talks about a new murder every night
Where do my words begin? My world lives in a pen And when I write, it all comes out And on the paper, my world is sent But what is my writing all about? About my life, my love, my friends
My mind is spontaneous; at times I want to scream. But that is too extreme. Sometimes, I can't say what I mean to say. Oral words are sculpted for the outside's way.
When I was young words would jump at me, and land on the pages I turned. With each "swish" of the page new words gave birth on the thin white sheets. Spectators marveled at my unraveled gift.
I wrote a letter of uncertainty I scribed in sweet remembrance I scripted dialogue to make me laugh, when I hurt myself My words are drenched, in sorrows that I wrote about
As a young girl I had always felt That something was seriously missing From this place I lived called "The Bible Belt." The people spoke, hissing; And some insult was always dealt
I love writing poems it allows me to express myself, i can write about foam and make it symbolic for something else Theres much you can do when you have imagination, you can write one too
Creation is unstable, a question in the dark What am I supposed to say? With hands that lack talent With a mind with too many possibilities;
All surrounds the topic The topic we see in few Nothing can fell the rush of the experience The imagery, symbolism, description Feeling the mind at a staggering embrace With word nor picture able to describe
In random thought I sit and dream To the grass, How does a worm seem? I wonder "how"s I wonder "why"s How does the rain feel When it falls from the sky? Does the wind feel fear?
Imagine, Feel, Create Saturn sets on the horizon a View, such a view Does it exist?
Your people claim their free, but is empty of leaders with faith. None can draw a single sword from their diminutive pocket.
Have you ever been what I been through? Lied to by your loved one, Stabbed your chest, And people fear for your life soon, You say what's the pressure in being me?
Many have failed her love, The love that I pursue, Chance she given, Now chances no more, Her love that was played, Her love that was fooled, Her love that was lost, Deep beneath her heart,
Blue as the sky, my heart pumps anxious beats of alkaline. Furrowed brow, hardened eyes, tapping of the fingers. I stand adjacent to the wealth of the future. Right hand out, reaching, grasping at the sunlight.
There is a river running through your soul, and it’s just begging you to drown. Not die. Just abandon yourself to its ebbs and flows, crest waves of the non-lingual, plumb depths you never knew you never knew.
We each have a well inside of us, filled with exhilaration and craze. It is our driving force. It is the host of every moral and desire we once entertained. It is the common truth that connects us all,
Thoughts roll Seasons change Sun rays blind eyes Hearts beat Minds wonder Gone is yesterday
Pen to paper, head in clouds just put your mind to work spread all of your wildest dreams across the cluttered desk the desk full of things which keep you alive
Passions
Beware of Artists for they mix with all classes of society and are therefore the most dangerous. They study and socialize with any and all people. They are unafraid of what is different, strange, or new.
Paint falls to canvas carrying with it the imagination of time. Landscapes, made of strokes miniscule and bold. Buildings, made of the sun’s shades, struggle not to melt in darkness.
Children raised to rape and plunder Fallen from grace, and it's no wonder We've brought about a mighty thunder Created a beast to take us under
I like to listen to music. The kind that blares and shakes the lights while you reach for the ceiling like it's the stars.
You seduced me. Drew me in played me for the fool and I bit took the bait tried to dart away only driving the hook in deeper
In my lifetime, I was born to a virgin mother an angel told her I’ll be like no other man on earth on land which is cursed born free of sin, now you see what I’m worth. I’m the son of GOD, haven’t you heard?
Art is a dream that I cannot escape, It’s more than just colors and paper and shapes, Appearing in sights I see every day, I get lost in the beauty that’s on display, The gears in my mind spin with furious haste,
Fortune tellers have never appealed to me Last resort to find your bicycle It's more that materialistic drama I can not seem to find a piece (peace)
