POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write what comes to my mind.
To My Little Girl
To my daughter
Who will always be my little girl
From the time you was born
To the time you was grown
You always had a father
That you could call your own
To prepare you for a world
That can be so cold
Watch your step
And slow down your pace
Cause society will overlook
How smart that you are
Because you are a woman
Born black and beautiful
Some men will like your bodily assets
Before they love who you are
Beware of a charming smile
Or a muscular build
Judge your men wisely
Cause a...

Deprivation of Benevolence
For every minute my heart becomes hardened
Surrounded by conniving and disloyal maggots
Who considered themselves humans
Always begging and seeking for handouts
Never wanting to give what they had
But take from the generous
For the reasons why my heart is harder
Evicting the soft spots my heart once had
For people I thought I could trust
Just to turnaround and stab me with my own words
That once was generous
But now as cold as the Arctic air
Paralyzing my strength to move
Seizing the emotions I once shown ...

Paralyzing my strength to move

Boundaries I'm Confined Within
It doesn't pay to watch
People eating food
While I fight these sorrowful urges
Just the smell makes me weak
Hunger
I deeply feel
Thinking
An apple
Miracle Whip on a slice of bread
Cups of water
Still won't take this pain away
I'm hungry
Silently pleading, begging
For a bite to eat
But my pride, character
Won't let me abide
To seep low
Becoming ridicule for public view
So I sit and wonder and wait
When will I consume
A decent amount of food to eat
People eating food
While I fight these sorrowful urges
Just the smell makes me weak
Hunger
I deeply feel
Thinking
An apple
Miracle Whip on a slice of bread
Cups of water
Still won't take this pain away
I'm hungry
Silently pleading, begging
For a bite to eat
But my pride, character
Won't let me abide
To seep low
Becoming ridicule for public view
So I sit and wonder and wait
When will I consume
A decent amount of food to eat

Irreplaceable Parts of My Life
I'm paralyzed
But yet I can move
These years I been fighting
I struggled through
I've lost an arm and a leg
But whoever said
I would get my cake
And eat my ice cream too
I had to endure hardships
To penetrate this hard head
My momma always said I had
But to be able to see, breathe
And speak when spoken
At least there's one thing
She can be happy for
But yet
I have lost teeth
The very thing
Coroners identify bodies with no names
A part of my soul taken
When pain
And...

Is It Worth
Addiction....
It holds you
When you're alone
In your home
A love that is so deep
That can take
That home, assets
And even the food
Out of your hungry mouth
Just for a
Temporary relief
But a marriage
That can carry on
Even when
You know it's wrong
Family and friends
Will eventually
Let you know
You on your own
Living with a mate
A fatal attraction
On the first date
Killing brain cells and internal organs
Deducting your self worth
For something ...

Life Can Be....
Through the eyes of an unknown
Life is so cold
Step out with no coat
Cold chills felt to the bone
Small steps one must take
Through a blizzard of snowflakes
Weak and in a destituted state
Frostbite will overtake
Strong willed and determination
Mind full of preparation
Hardships is no exaggeration
To those open to realization
Life is so cold
Step out with no coat
Cold chills felt to the bone
Small steps one must take
Through a blizzard of snowflakes
Weak and in a destituted state
Frostbite will overtake
Strong willed and determination
Mind full of preparation
Hardships is no exaggeration

The Struggle Goes On
I humbled myself
To the surrounding sorrows
That intercepts into mine
Positive vibes
Everyday for me
It's a struggle to survive
Closing my ears
To outside distractions
But when death
Creeps into my home
Accepting a family member
Younger than myself
It taps into my pride
Adding resistance to my stride
For I
Become a supporting cast
The family looks up to
But within my soul
Even they don't know
My tolerances has grown thin
Because death
Seems to sprinkle my path ...

Stay Strong
It hurts when you're young
When kids laugh
And call you names
And parents say
Words don't hurt
But they do
A long lasting pain
That follows
Through your teen years
Because you don't fit in
What they call...the elite class
Your sexual preference, physical appearance
Your level of intelligence
Anything for people to scrutinize
It all burns a hole in your soul
But don't get discouraged
Stay strong
You're a person of a different class
A trendsetter for those whom
Haven't found the...

Too Late to Speculate
A desirable drive
To reach out to a woman
I haven't spoken to in over eight years
Hoping
To hear a sign of forgiveness
For leaving her behind
But not wanting
To refill the place
The abandonment of the relationship
I'm responsible of
Knowing in my mind
It would never be the same
Because I was the first to deceit
I captured her
From the past men in her life
Who only wanted to cheat
But I turned out no different
Once holding her heart
I dropped it into a million pieces
Stealing any...
