POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a wonderer... I tell stories from both personal experiences as well as from those around me. Everyone has a story to tell...I just so happen to be the one to tell them at times.

The Only Thing I Need
If you discover that I am wrong
Educate me
Provide me with the tools that I may need to be a better man
Converse with me instead of talking at me
I have spent my entire life disagreeing, at this stage all I need is stimulation
Because in the end the only thing that I need is my wings
Without you I am far less of a being,
My exterior may seem tuff but in all honesty my heart still bleeds
These tears still flow, even though you may have never seen them
Thoughts still cross my mind and so I continue to pray that you will be on the other end...

There I Go
I know you will never love me
It is written all over your face, your eyes…even the words that resides between the lines that circulate within the inside of your jaws
Yet here you are, there you go
I write these letters as reminders to myself
Reminders of when I thought and knew something was there
That at some point a spark was there but was too premature to flare up
How stupid was I to believe that, that caged bird was really trapped
When in actuality it was too afraid to take flight
I wish that I could make this shit up
I wish that our paths...

Be That Stimulation
I thrive off of stimulation
It’s inside my veins
Resides within the words that I write
Dances around me, although not with me
I searched for love everywhere and still have yet to find that feeling that is supposed to be at the pit of my stomach
Hurt and hurter, yes I have played devil as well as devil advocate
So if you seek some form of perfection
Imperfection is what resides here
My mind wonders, rolls from one side of my head to the other like waves on a windy day
And although sometimes my days may seem to blend together my...

My Queen
I need to love you just as much as I love the skin that you are in
Kiss your skin as if I were the one who blessed you with the melanin that resides within it
Be purified by the words that escapes from your mouth whenever you say my name
Comfort the tears that are released from your heart and cater to the mind that is comfortably sitting behind your eyes
I guess what I am trying to say is that I need to love you from a molecular level
I want to embrace every part of you
Examine the woman that you are and excel in all of your teachings

Dangerous Streets
I woke up one day and realized that I had a lot of hate in my heart
It was within my blood, my thoughts weighed heavy on this
As my tears scorched my face, too hot to wipe away
Too angry to justify my reasons for this hate
So therefore I picked up this smile
And I placed it upon my face
Though my eyes spoke its truth my mouth refused to vocalize
Although my hands wanted to react my arms refused to initiate
Yet still I walked with hate, I wore it, like I wore my flesh
It was me and I was clearly it
I would say that I was taught this hate, or...

Humble Yourself
Don’t ever forget that you were there too
The world leaned its weight down on your back
Broke and struggling skipped hand and hand up and down your block on the regular
And how in the hell am I going to get through this was a song that your mind replayed over and over again
Regardless of how low your low was you were still at a place where you damn near lost your mind
You were no exception to the rules
That anxiety was locked and loaded and you had to figure out which step you would take that would not cause you to fall to your mental death
Don’t ever...

Unfazed
I can see the confusion forming across your face
These words that you have spoken so proudly, watch as they drift ever so swiftly down to the ground
And as every letter dissolve into the mouth of nonsexist
Allow me to explain to you why I say that I will be that
Although you think that you have interrupted my path you have only given me more momentum
You not wanting me to succeed is giving me all the more reason to do just that
I cannot help that you have woken up and choose toxic from your bag of options
I cannot help that today I had made the decision to...

I Learned
This year I learned to never fall in love with a stranger
I learned that they will steal your heart, and break it
That not everyone is going to be sensitive to your feelings and that what you have…is usually the only thing that they want
Because of course you have something that they want, and they will tell you any and everything that you want to hear to get it
This year I learned how to respect myself
I learned that in order to become what I need to become I will have to face my demons and beat my insecurities at their own game
Because of course it is...

Severing Ties
I thought about calling you
Thought about everything from what I would say if you were to answer the phone and if you didn’t
Hell I even thought about how long the text would be if I even decided to send it
This was until I though about what the outcome would be
To be in your presence although would be amazing
I am not sure if I would want to be lied too…again
How many times must a person say that they don’t want you before you actually believe them?
In reality I would say once but when in your feelings it is really multiple
And from there you have to...

I am not okay
Sometimes telling me that everything is going to be okay just does not sit well in my soul
You see its very easy to roll those words off your tongue with ease as I sit uneasy in this situation that I am currently in.
Recite the lords prayer over and over until my mind becomes numb to these issues that are flooding my mind
While cursing myself out for being or rather feeling too weak to endure a continuous cycle of disappointment.
Am I supposed to continue to weather this storm?
Reach out my hands to up high and beg for repentance for the sins that I knew I was going...
