Love Lockdown
One thing that really bugs me is to see a beautiful woman down
Lost all her trust and faith in man because of one ungrateful clown
Always talking about relations instead strengthening the relationship
The only thing he cared about was for what was between her hips
She grew tired of the lies, deceit, and mistrust from the past
It seemed that dudes only wanted her for the ass
So she built a wall of security and placed around her heart
Not allowing any guy come through to have a chance of ripping it apart
All those who tried ended with the same fate
Their...

Roses
You can be happy that thorns have roses
Or you can be bitter that roses have thorns
But a rose without thorns is like love without heartbreak……
It just doesn’t make sense
Everyone knows the rose as a flower of beauty and love
But it also serves as the perfect signal that love hurts a times
Sometimes the harder you hold on the more it hurts
Scratches = emotional scars
Bleeding = the depth of your love
Is love that hurts so much really worth holding on to??
Is the pain that it give something you can undo??
They say no pain no gain
And...

Fly Away
Just to escape the troubles that I face today
I often wish that I can fly away
Away to a place made just for me
A place without the drama or misery
Somewhere where I can just be myself
Away from the judgment of everyone else
Im tired of the fairy tales, the the broken promises, the lies
And the fake people trying to be a friend in disguise
I know that there has to be a place that is better
Somewhere where they're people who can work together
A place where trust and honesty exist
Where you don't have to solve your problems with fist
The safe...

R.I.P.....
You never know what you have until it’s gone
When that person’s heartbeat plays their final song
From their heart to yours
A feeling
A feeling of something missing
A feeling that you no longer care
Because a loved one is no longer there
Your eyes shed tears of disbelief
Your body stricken with unending grief
Your mind filled with things that were
And visions of things that didn’t occur
Questions you’re asking
Answers are unseen
A world of confusion surrounds your soul
Trying not to let emotions take control
We laugh
We Cry...

True Beauty
You.............
Your smile
Your eyes
Your face
None of these compare to the beauty I see when I stare in your eyes, the perfect reflection of your soul....
The envy of others
Your bright smile is my sun bringing light to my cloudy days.
Your warm personality is my blanket on a harsh winter's night
You are an example of true beauty
You show it inside and out
The way you carry yourself I cant help but respect
No need for the likes of such beauty to hide behind make-up and the judgement of others
That pretty face gives me the image of what I want...

Direct Message
Im sending you a message from my heart to yours.
I hope it makes it through your hearts closed doors.
Can things get back to the way they used to be.
When everything was crystal clear between you and me.
A time when my life was at total peace.
But now im feeling like a puzzle and youre my missing piece.
I made mistakes and I can admit to that.
But I also admit that I want you back.
Without you by my side I feel so a lone and curious.
And when I see you with another I feel hurt and sometimes furious.
But I cant blame you.
After all we been through....

Innocence is BlisS
A local club shuts down and the lights go a dim
Little Mona was there, hanging with her friends
Now she was just 14, but had a lot of development
So with a fake I.D. she was allowed to come on in
Wilding out dancing, drinking, and having fun
And she met Jacob who had to be atleast 21
He asked if she wanted to roll home with him
That was the start of the situation getting grim
Cause Jacob thought she was 20, and he wanted to hit
She knew her own age but she didnt mention it
So jumped right into this strangers car
Got on the highway and made it to a...

A Look in the Mirror
I look in the mirror to attempt to see
What the hell other people really see in me
Must be some kind of weird connection
Because the mirror's image wasn't a clear reflection
Maybe its my fault that I forgot who i am
I would try to explain it but no one really gives a damn
Lost in my mind, trapped in the mirror
Thoughts come close but emotions come nearer
All I see is a young black man
Who always tries to do what he can
To show peace and love to everyone around
And help lift sad faces up off the ground
Now I don't mean to sound...

Short Story Poem: "Love You"
Not a true story, but based on a true story
I never thought of myself as the type to get emotionally involved
But I guess through the course of time my heart must’ve evolved
As a youth, I was taught to keep my feelings inside
And to keep it that way until the day that I died
So that's the way that I chose to live my life
Might make a baby mama but never make a wife
Never thought I'd find a girl
Who could change my view of the world
But one day I happened to meet Aria
Sexy brown skin with a quiet demeanor
We started talking and doing things...

Guilty
Woke up one morning on a beautiful day
Seems all of my troubles were out of the way
The sun in the sky and no clouds in sight
And at that point a felt my spirit take flight
Got out of the bed and walked to the den
But at that moment my day took a spin
All of a sudden i could hear sirens sounding
And someone was knocking on my door pounding
The police rushed in the house after kicking down my door
They wrestled me to the ground, what was all this for?
I asked the officer what did i do?
But he just told me that i already knew
They...

Wild Flower
They say a rose by any other name is just as sweet, but the flower in my vision makes others obsolete.
The beauty of this plant is a gift from God, whose divine ways makes others feel odd.
A gentle flower without a thorn, that’s stems and petals or never torn.
The looks of it so slim and fine, I wish to hold it in my hands as mine.
I value its presence because its type is rare, and show to it undying care.
I’ll take it and plant it in the garden of my life, in hope that it will keep me out of strife.
Through the storm, sleet, rain, and snow. I’ll stand by it to watch...

Don't Pretend
i]Now I know everything that happens, has to happen for a reason
But it’s hard to understand why I’m sitting here crying and wheezing? (Sniff sniff)
For the longest time I thought you was my girl
Treated you as a queen and held up above the world
You know what forget because you know what I might be trippin’
But only because I hear the sounds of the bed sheets we be rippin’
But let me calm down and get back to the subject
Naw forget all that because fuck it, I love it
Now you’re acting strange because your old man is back in town
Why does that matter...
