A hoe?
If a hoe is what you call me
what garden tool are you?
Because you shovel shit on me,
when I'm only trying to weed through you.
All the damage you cause
is ok for you, because come next season
you think the dirt will be brand new.
Same shit different garden a
friendship does not make.
how can you pretend they're cupcakes
when the cake is'nt even baked?
are you going to frost over
your mistakes, and hope nobody notices,
or take the professional route
and make new one, not let
the bad flavor be what...

Versus
You try and try to justify what is right vs. what I write…
Now I’m left here confused in a time that I needed you the most… frozen in steel tears from the previous mentioned… "evil bitch" smh
I run and run away but land right back in reality… at this point it’s you vs. us don’t fight it … Wiping the tears onto the pillow of falling hearts… mine non existent to my future which is not with you… vs. what was us….
You running from us and to them what about me… fighting the ongoing questions what would happen if I ever lost you?…would my world stop turning?...

The Mechanic
You returned because your oil change is due and you wanna feel brand new so today I’ll be the best mechanic and crawl under you.
Your body needs a tune-up and I’m able to do just that and more, I’ll only need to give full assessment to know what to fine tune for sure.
Every model is different and yours is my favorite, from the oil type to the quality and blend.
Your manufacturers were kind to you so I’ll do the same first hand, to be sure I’ll check the guidelines because I wouldn’t want to pour the wrong oil and reduce the lubrication and overall shorten...

Let’s talk about Love
I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners“ this line you would find in Matthew 9:13.
My understanding of this verse is that Jesus, the son of God was speaking to the Pharisees explaining to them why he choose sinners and wrongdoers to dine with.
J3ws believe that they are godlike, and being godlike, requires you to have a son or a messenger in his name. Being godlike means you create a powerful majestic being or things that are fueled by wrongs of sinners. In my opinion, Jesus represents Christianity. Christianity is the hub for attracting sinners and...

Why are traumas so hard to expel?
Its very easy to be consumed with an unforgiving energy, it is like a rare fruit, one that you know you're allergic to but instead you keep thinking how sweet it is going down into your stomach. But, whenever it's there it stays there, you start gaining weight that won't move until it's all cried out. Fighting hurt with hurt never amounts to anything substantial because 50% of nothing is still nothing.
I've been carrying around this hurt from the first year of this marriage and I keep searching for a reason to believe or trust his “I love you”. 2019 was the worst year in all my 31...

Child Sexual Exploitation and Violence
Our patriarchal culture normalizes significant damage to young girls who are still growing into themselves and learning what life is about. It's seen as a "normal" thing for big men to be with school girls. Young girls (particularly Black girls) are often labelled as "fast" and "grown." The blame is always heaped at their feet and this ensures that big men can continue to prey on them without ever receiving any criticism/repercussion for their predatory actions. Victim blaming is dangerous and results in many silently accepting abuse because they know majority of society will have no real...

My lunarian
Quit pumping placebo fears inside your little brain.
Sometimes I feel as if you are out of this world, yo know maybe lost in this race
with you i truly feel special my sweet lunarian
ready to give my soul and heart to you so you’d love me like the greatest man.
I am living in my moments, my heart is frivolous (giddy) and capricious (Bi-polar).
Your strong attachment to me is somewhat mysterious
Might even threaten my freedom, tedious bi curious
If we should be in a relationship someone heart might be broken ...

My mind
My mind is an erogenous zone for most. I find incredible pleasure in flirting and sexting. However, in most cases intellectual debates, witticism can be more fascinating. I’ll understand your needs and if we both consent we’ll have the heat between the sheets.
