POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
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
Wander pt 2
My love is some crazy shit
But some real extraordinary shit
So I was thinking
I deserve some real shit myself
Some trust
A lot of truth
Not this romantic cliché bullshit
But some of your truth
Some of them thoughts
That you’ve but into action
Just make sure that it’s extraordinary and real
And there is some funny
But some real extraordinary shit
So I was thinking
I deserve some real shit myself
Some trust
A lot of truth
Not this romantic cliché bullshit
But some of your truth
Some of them thoughts
That you’ve but into action
Just make sure that it’s extraordinary and real
And there is some funny

Wander
I haven’t cried these tears in years
Haven’t thought these thoughts since a teen
Haven’t wanted nobody in years
Now that I feel it
All I can do is wander
Wipe my eye and notice that tear
Feel this hole
I wanna cry but I refuse it
Won’t let myself dream
So instead I just wander
Haven’t thought these thoughts since a teen
Haven’t wanted nobody in years
Now that I feel it
All I can do is wander
Wipe my eye and notice that tear
Feel this hole
I wanna cry but I refuse it
Won’t let myself dream
So instead I just wander

Hug
Just in my feelings
Feeling emotional but disappointment
Disappointed with myself
Disappointed with the way things turned out
I now I have no control but my input wasn’t good enough
I need to be hugged and not just hugged but really hugged
I mean to the point I stop crying then smile and cry again
I mean I’m tired of holding myself and hugging me tight
Tried of alone just plain ole tired of tired
Just wanna cry but afraid if I do I want stop
I need that hug and touch now
Feeling emotional but disappointment
Disappointed with myself
Disappointed with the way things turned out
I now I have no control but my input wasn’t good enough
I need to be hugged and not just hugged but really hugged
I mean to the point I stop crying then smile and cry again
I mean I’m tired of holding myself and hugging me tight
Tried of alone just plain ole tired of tired
Just wanna cry but afraid if I do I want stop
I need that hug and touch now

I already know
I don’t need to battle nobody else I battle myself enough
I don’t need to think if I’m manipulating cause I know
I don’t need to ask your opinion
Because I’m a woman who has thought
I know I use my pussy to get what I need
I know I’m mean
I know I’m strange
I know all this and more
I know I lose myself in men
So because of this I stay away and I know this don’t make sense but FUCK IT
I don’t need to think if I’m manipulating cause I know
I don’t need to ask your opinion
Because I’m a woman who has thought
I know I use my pussy to get what I need
I know I’m mean
I know I’m strange
I know all this and more
I know I lose myself in men
So because of this I stay away and I know this don’t make sense but FUCK IT

Dude
Some days I just sit up in my room and think about how I first met you. How I never thought you were going to do this, I thought like wine you would get better in time you would. Then I smile thinking how I lie to make myself get past the truth of loving you. How I make myself sick thinking how me and your daughter were never enough. If we were never enough, while why didn’t you just stay in Youngstown when I left. I promised never to take your kid from you but you never trusted me, only kept listening to motherfuckas who never knew me. Now look at you.
I think how stupid I was...
I think how stupid I was...

I’m lonely cause of you
I’m tired of being this nice chick, just to get someone else to like me when in reality I’m a walking earthquake ready to erupt but peaceful until disturbed
Tired of not letting the real me GO OFF out of being judged, misunderstood or alienated when in fact that is already a fact
And I got nobody to blame but YOU

Lights, camara...f**k this!
I hate this job
I’m grateful to pay bills but
I hate this job
Its like that job has sucked the spirit out of me and already dealing with life circumstances
I definitely don’t want or need another reminder, of my failure
So again I hate this job
It can keep its cameras, the wigs, the outfits and pervs
Cause I don’t want it
I don’t want it
I’m grateful to pay bills but
I hate this job
Its like that job has sucked the spirit out of me and already dealing with life circumstances
I definitely don’t want or need another reminder, of my failure
So again I hate this job
It can keep its cameras, the wigs, the outfits and pervs
Cause I don’t want it
I don’t want it

Just thinking
Its about that time I deal with my stress
To much of a diva to feel this low
Business is slow..
I appreciate my other gig but hate this camera and having to work on my hoe01..but
Can’t be like my Afro all pressed out, gotta remember to show gratitude..So it’s time to dance, blaze this L and shine bright..And hell nah idc if I’m off beat im still the shid..Time to shake this lil booty in private..Write a line and work this mess out..

A Moments Time
I had a dream last night about me and I was doing two things
“I haven’t done in awhile
Let alone been in awhile ,
I was running around the church house” than “woke up n cried
“Not that the dream made me sad but because for a moment I was happy”
