Poet Introduction
I’m different and a little strange, definitely don’t care if you know. Sometimes my writing seems dark, depressing or that I’m unsure of myself but that’s DEFINITELY not the cases

Rain
all this rain has got me thinking about all the things I’ve seen
the good things with us
the horrible shid you put me thur
the shid I allowed
even the shid we destroyed
remembering the tyme I loved a boy
mascara-ding around as a Man
but it’s a new day
but I do gotta thank you
for you showing me that I was doing to much and finally allowing me to see my mistakes
the good things with us
the horrible shid you put me thur
the shid I allowed
even the shid we destroyed
remembering the tyme I loved a boy
mascara-ding around as a Man
but it’s a new day
but I do gotta thank you
for you showing me that I was doing to much and finally allowing me to see my mistakes

3:38 in the morning
I think I’m way past admitting that you’re NO friend of mine
Way past a crystal clear view
Think, nah knew that you were just playing on the fact I was vulnerable
after my divorce
But the things I’m feeling at 3:38 am
ain’t NEW but in fact been playing on my mind for quite some time
Quite sometime
Only difference between then and now is, I just allowed myself
to say that it’s time you stay AWAY
not because I’m mad at you
but because you’re not RIGHT
well at least not for me
guess it’s not good to fix what’s not Broke when...

Choices
You ever think about
the things
you allow
when your lonely
and what you’ve
been wanting
and
if the things
you were hoping for
was nothing more than an illusion in your mind of what had already been happening
that those same choices that you’re afraid of
had already played out
Now you’ve just made yourself fit in this silly ass SPECTRUM
of NORMAL
and what if just maybe
what you
now allow
was the choice you were always
supposed to be choosing
but you just weren’t ready for
Do...

Just thinking
Bet you never would’ve guessed that I had a nervous breakdown
Or dispute everything I have told you
I really really loved being a mom that I really loved my husband but I hated being a wife but that shit is over
But is it
I keep telling myself it doesn’t matter but this shit
Keeps playing
Stuck on repeat
Now I’m forced to think about it and I come up with this
that this shit is why I can’t keep a job because I don’t have nobody to provide for I mean
I still do it for T even though I’m not appreciated or respected as...

Invisible
Haven’t been smoking or screwing cause I’m mad
Just been dealing with Invisible
I’ve always been invisible
But I’m not sure why it is mattering now
Maybe it’s because I have no one to take care of, or maybe this feeling is something more
Or could it be, now that I’ve accepted the anger
of other’s not seeing me
or because I’m not seeing myself as invisible anymore?

I know!
I know I deserve a lot more than just being a one nighter
and I know I need to stop hitting them
then making those dudes think im going to call back
I’m tired of only being enough for myself
so I’m being alone
no one sees me but this camera
The way I been acting has got me ashamed
N, I don’t know why I won’t let anybody know me,
not the cold hearted woman but the sensitive and caring lady
I guess I just don’t want “Her”
hurt no more
but now I’m being a coward
N that ain’t me
I don’t know what I’m to do or what to think ...

Other days
Some days I regret what I did but then there’s other days.
Well there’s other days! I remember the day you asked me
how, did this all come about.
but instead I just refused to tell you the why! Not to say that I’m not appreciative but I hate the WHY and HOW and I definitely don’t want you knowing a HATE this deep.I know that sounds like some crazy shit, but once you lived half my life then maybe you can halfway understand my story.
