POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been inconsistently writing for a few years. I often write about my personal experiences, mental health, love, growth, and societal issues.

Everyone Wants to Be Heard
Listen to the sound of water
Listen to the sound of the wave
Listen to the rate of your heart beat
Listen to the everything they are saying
Just listen
If you actively listen
You will soon feel the change
Feel the impact that you made
Whether it affects others or yourself
Listening means being patient
Calm and collected
So people don't feel neglected
That's a thing people tend to do
Have others listen to our problems
Putting the focus on ourselves
Instead those who feel left alone
Form...

A Change is to Come
The Sad Thing Is
People Don't Support Success
Or Other Blessings
We Always Want to Degrade or Take Away
Someone's Pride and Dignity
Its So Much Happiness and Success
Instead We Criticize, Fight, and Kill Each Other
Steal From Each Other
Drown Each Other until We're Unable to Rise up
Without Any Hope
Or Motivation
How Do We Stand Up?
How Do We Breathe?
How Do We Live Happily?
How Do We Make A Change?
Where Do I Begin?
Enough is Enough . .

The Greatest Takeaway
Allow yourself to grow
But never let tough situations take control
You are so bright
So wise
And so kind
Don't ever leave that behind
You are beautiful and confident
Make sure you make that evident
Never doubt yourself or have any regrets
Because God has only just begun
Your journey of self
And yet to become
Be honest and truthful
Make life memorable
Smile, laugh
Cherish those moments
But never forget
To always be yourself
Give up being your old self
And become who God created you to be
But never let tough situations take control
You are so bright
So wise
And so kind
Don't ever leave that behind
You are beautiful and confident
Make sure you make that evident
Never doubt yourself or have any regrets
Because God has only just begun
Your journey of self
And yet to become
Be honest and truthful
Make life memorable
Smile, laugh
Cherish those moments
But never forget
To always be yourself
Give up being your old self
And become who God created you to be

Be Aware
I experience so many feelings
So many thoughts, so much negativity
We hurt each other
We hurt ourselves
Mentally and physically
Do you know how much power we have seriously?
Every one of us can bring something differently
Regardless of who you are,
Always remember, you make a difference
In our society
So many thoughts, so much negativity
We hurt each other
We hurt ourselves
Mentally and physically
Do you know how much power we have seriously?
Every one of us can bring something differently
Regardless of who you are,
Always remember, you make a difference
In our society

Self Love is the Best Love
Never Lower Your Standards,
Always Know Your Worth,
And Somebody will Appreciate That,
But You Have to Accept Yourself,
Before Accepting Someone Else,
You Know Yourself More Than Anyone Else,
Don't Ever Doubt That
Your Value has Much Value
Be Confident and Proud
Always Be True to Yourself
Self Love is the Best Love
Remember That . . .
Nobody Can Take That Away from You
❤

Self-Doubt
Mind is racing
Heart is pacing
At a faster speed
Others may disagree
When we say we're nervous
But it's because they cannot see
The low confidence we tend to bring
Self doubt is common
When others doubt you
You begin to doubt yourself
Thinking maybe they were right
But in spite of the negativity
God has gifted you
Gifted you with a life
A life that is so precious
It's so much to cherish
Sometimes we let it affect us
You'll make mistakes
Maybe even regret it
But take every opportunity you can ...

Disappointed
You know
One day you will realize
You're taking 5 steps back
Instead of 5 steps forward
You're losing yourself
Brainwashed by our society
Blaming others for your behavior constantly
I don't want to watch you make bad decisions
I want to watch you grow
Succeed
I honestly want you happy
I'm not sure if this is a phase
But you're slowly losing your confidence each day
I'm willing to help you in every way
And direct you to a happier place
But I definitely don't...

My Inspiration
I just want everyone to succeed
Be the greatest they can be
I'm willing to support you, indeed
As long as you have hope in me
I know our battles aren't the greatest
But look how far you made it
The fight and stride in you
Always kept you focused and I'm so proud of you
Some days I get tired of you
Fussing and cussing about nothing
Yet, you taught me to never give up on something
You taught me to believe
Have faith in me and learn how to live
Each day, I thank God for creating you
You have no...

Let Go
I Know I Couldn't Be Her
But Yet, What Is It About Her
Is It Her Looks?
Her Personality?
See I Really Don't Want To Compare Myself to Her
But What Is It That I Don't Deserve?
I Deserve Respect
And Happiness
My Friends Say Move On
But I Don't Have A Clue
Why I Can't
Why I Can't Get You Off My Mind
And I'm Willing to Do Anything to Have You
To The Point I Began Losing Myself, Losing You
You're So Focused On Her and I'm So Focused On You
This Triangle Will Never Form
All It's Done Created Was A Terrible Storm
Maybe It's...
But Yet, What Is It About Her

I Must Admit
It took many days
Many months to admit it
To actually admit how I felt about you
You seemed confused
Like you had no clue
No idea that I liked you
I was actually beginning to love you
I loved you as a whole
You have such a beautiful soul
A soul that connects to mines
Beautiful inside and out
No doubt
I had no clue
Although you never mentioned it
I thought you liked me too
But when you said it
I knew we were just best friends
Right now, My head is spinning
I don't know what I'm thinking
Everything is racing...

Self Esteem
Ever wonder what others think of you?
Like a glass mirror reflection of yourself
Asking is this Me?
Is this who I really want to be?
Many say they're fine
But our thoughts and feelings are in denial
Denied by our society who strives to be a trend
Following someone they aren't
Instead of following their heart
And that is what tears us apart
Our self esteem
Determines the amount of acceptance
From friends, family, even our ex's
Which doesn't direct us
But reflects us
Wondering if I had enough strength and confidence
To actually...

Focus on Self
It'll Be 2017
A New Year
A New Me
I'll Probably Make A Mistake
God Please Forgive Me
May Act A Little Boujee
Don't We All See
This Annual Pattern
Just To Please
Our Inner Self
We Cut Off Friends
End Poor Eating Habits
To Create A New One
Then, Back at Square One
Looking For Another Goal or Resolution
The Problem Is We Tend to Focus On What Others Think
Instead Of Ourselves
Searching for What is Beneficial for Someone Else
And Our Inner Feelings Begin to Dwell
Because We Gave Away Our Love
