POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am inexperienced at best. Honestly, I started writing poems in jail. I was released in July. I am really enjoying writing. It helps me in a lot of ways. I laugh at them most the time. I ask myself , why the f#+@ would I think of that?, or who would? Lol

Wars Battled for Peace and Quiet
Pushed and pushed
Feeling the walls closing in
My time and energy, total
life ambushed
Life now is like toast with not one
drop of margarine
I refuse to be cornered
You will learn your place
No worries, soon it will be discovered
Smile is missing,seems to be
misplaced
In mirror I don't like myself, always
angry and irritated
Any reasons are mine to know, no
need debated
I say I don't like...you put squared in
my focus
I say I love or a...

Quick Question...
Why all the hate?
It was "I think he's cute", now "What's in it for me? " when going on a date
People are too busy to say three little words, but they have plenty of time when someone lays on cold slate
No more welcome mat at front door, now at end of driveway big iron gate
Why so much hate?
Husbands missing dinners every night, wives told their paranoid, they had to work late
Grown men preying on small children, using cute puppies as bait
People asking for help, people helping others, all their motives are fake
...

Bestest Friend
My best friend ever
No more an unknown stranger
Making epic memories together
Being upright citizens, never
We are proud scorpions
Making everyone our minions
Thieves, hoes, and snitches will feel our iron brand
Rules of brotherhood they refused to understand
You always make me smile,even when I'm mad
I got your shoulder,if ever I'm sad
You own the gift of perception
Faking a emotion is not an exception
I want to say thank-you
I got my smile back
Happy moments were just a few

Head vs. THE Words
This is for the believers in GOD
These words I shared with my pastor, my mouth remains unfiltered
At the end your feelings may be butt hurt
My mom stated again, number 1 sin is GOD'S name slandered
She even moved aside for lighting bolts and his wrath to be raptured
These are only perspectives, I will not martyred
This is not for GOD'S weak sheep
Why do you blindly love?
I have so many questions, about the heavens above
How do you have so much faith and devotion as the white dove?
You never have doubts, it could be a fraud

I have no name
I can hear my mom's heart, it beats as one with mine
I have things I want to do, dreams to come true
In cold bowl,I'm tossed away, future is dead
I have things I want to do, dreams to come true
In cold bowl,I'm tossed away, future is dead

Treasured Eggshells
All I want is you
Just us to equal two
We sit around and smoke the dope
And when you're gone, I just wanna
mope
My heart will die
If I try to live a lie
I think you're really cute
My heart refuses to be mute
You always have a drink
And dissecting, breaking down what I think
You study every movement that I
make
Judging each motion if real or fake
I know you mean each word you
allow to be said
Keeping your strong walls safe,

Murphy
You never judge me,and you always care
Whenever I'm lonely,you're always there
When I come home, you're there waiting for me
Like I'm the only person in the world,that you want to see
You'll follow me, wherever I go
And you never complain, when I tell you no
When life gets tough, and seems totally unfair
I can always count on you, to show me you care
Your friendship comes free, nothing given or said
All you want in return, is a pat on your head
If someone tries to enter, my person space
You'll do anything in your power, to keep me safe ...

Can You Toe to Toe ?
You should know me by now
No matter where, I stay true
My head I will not bow
Survived storms, I barely lived through
I will love and fight for my truths passionately
If you boldly disrespect me, I will abolish all liability
I am not a convenient toy
Not meant to get played for your joy
Any hopes you have for control, I will quickly destroy
My feelings is not your amusement park
My likes and dislikes are not followed by a question mark
Any prizes are earned, never complimentary
You'll never gain access to my psyche
...

Jagged,Rare, Flaws, Yep That's Me !
This is about lil' ol' me
No.I am Just_Me, no superstar
I can't dance or play the guitar
Never had a cigarette or a cigar
Definitely unique, some may say sweet, but I totally disagree
I am a mother
Oldest child, one sister, one brother
One living grandparent ,she has an honest mouth, it can cut like no other
My step dad has dementia, a ruthless disease
Unable to say what's on his mind, I wonder what memories he can see
In California, came to help my mother, thought I knew her, so much I've discovered
Met new friends, all of...

My Fearsome Damsel
She's a sexy dream, my 69 Nova SS with a 427
Gassing up at every Chevron
She'll have a Muncie 4 speed with a Hurst shifter
Eliminator suspension and Mickey 50's on rear will please her
Edelbrock carb, definitely Posi rear Axel
Painted black with polished chrome, a stunning damsel
Harmon Kardon system all 18 , bass beating good vibes
Can't wait to feel her power
Drivers defeated before the start, her very existence is fearsome
My dream will happen and I'll own her
Not a single doubt in my wishful thoughts, I know that day will come
Gassing up at every Chevron
She'll have a Muncie 4 speed with a Hurst shifter
Eliminator suspension and Mickey 50's on rear will please her
Edelbrock carb, definitely Posi rear Axel
Painted black with polished chrome, a stunning damsel
Harmon Kardon system all 18 , bass beating good vibes
Can't wait to feel her power
Drivers defeated before the start, her very existence is fearsome
My dream will happen and I'll own her
Not a single doubt in my wishful thoughts, I know that day will come
