The Race
I keep waking up to this cane
I sit on the edge of the bed and peel these scabs off these wounds
And I start to cry, cause I know age is pushing in fast and I'm becoming so slow
But I Pray
I pray before I leave because ppl will stare and I'm the only one out here.
The train is coming
I see them watching me
I'm vulnerable and there Goal is to take advantage of it.
The train is coming
I can't run
but in my head
I'm running and I start to laugh
Because I'm as fast as a horse
And those two men can't catch me, because I'm...

I Died
On Oct 18 a surgery was set
All hell went wrong and my grave was met
Oct 25 another go round
As the doctor with a God like complex put me down. No blood! What! we can't honor that!
Your going to died that's a fact!
The doctor said it's a two hour surgery that's all it will be
3 months in the hospital and 1month rehab for me Never been so lonely not even a call.
"The Bible says the dead are conscious of nothing at All!"
Doc said "you coded, you refused blood!"
I said your unprofessionalism ran...

Rivers of Rain
A smile once lived here
Now rivers of rain
Once a happy women now sadly insane
Blood shot eyes that are weary and cold
Sit, please listen while my story is told
Pleasure took me but lust over came
A deeper obsession than love or pain
The weakest part of my soul was burned
Two steps backwards and one wrong turn
Rivers of rain that became oceans of sand
Gave up my life for the lust of a man
Now three seeds i boarder
and one soul to protect
And still she runs to her lord
But not yet to repent
Rivers, oh...
Now rivers of rain
Once a happy women now sadly insane
Blood shot eyes that are weary and cold
Sit, please listen while my story is told
Pleasure took me but lust over came
A deeper obsession than love or pain
The weakest part of my soul was burned
Two steps backwards and one wrong turn
Rivers of rain that became oceans of sand
Gave up my life for the lust of a man
Now three seeds i boarder
and one soul to protect
And still she runs to her lord
But not yet to repent
Rivers, oh...

Breaking the cycle
They are generations of alcoholics
Addicts and abuse
racism, hatred and Envy
with every excuse
THERES mental illnesses
that will never be addressed
And family members dress it up
with their very best
THERE ARE SINS THAT THEY HOLD
AND SECRETS NEVER TOLD
AND THEY LAY TO REST
BUT WE ARE THE GENERATION OF SCHOLARS AND QUEENS
LAWYERS AND DOCTORS
AND MANY KINGS
OUR CHILDREN ARE
THE COLLEGE GRADS
YES WE HAVE
REAL CHEFS
AND DON’T BE MAD
THE FIRE FIGHTERS
THE TEACHERS
AND...

Carmel Bar, black Licorice eyes,
uhm I love those two together
Having you in person
would be so much better
Lying next to you
Listening to your heart beat
I’m not defeated,
It’s biblical,
if you gave thought to it
then you cheated .
I don’t need fairy tales
or make believe dreams
I live in reality so it’s always what it seems
Breathing deep,
I won’t cheat
I always lock every door
Your giving enough
I don’t need no more
I’m Not Materialistic,
All tho Gold adores me ...

Just A Friend, He Saids
For years we Pen played
and expressed our likes and dislikes
We argued, love, yelled and fight
Toxic beyond what’s normal it said
“Y’all lost every reasoning in y’all head”
No cheating involved,
JUST one sided assumed along with substances quickly consumed
Programs and doctors Sikes and ALL
PLEADS OF I LOVE YOU
ON BOTH SIDES WE CALL
THINGS SEEMED GOOD
WE WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE IN THE HOOD
“I TOLD HER WE WAS JUST FRIENDS”
BUT I sleep with you in your head
The thoughts of me is what is Fed
Wait, Maybe It’s...

Representative
Why Was I appointed to do things
I think I’m incapable of
You place a great deal of
responsibility on Me
I fight for it, two sides of life
Everything that’s wrong
and very little thats right
You alreally know
that I’m capable
Of doing your will
You choose a broken
person, That’s Very ill
I can’t get right,
I want a normal life
I wanna knock at doors and scream
That I know who you are
But I want things
that I can see
Without the like of bars ...

Yes I love you
Letter in the wind?
I live in reality and there is so much to fear
I don’t know this person your introducing
But I still want him here
Can he leave his insecurities
And start a new life
Can he swallow the concept of loving
Another’s mans wife
Yes I love you
I love God too
Only this time more then you
My heart craves your touch
Cause I don’t know your heart
Only when your in me
I feel like no one can tear us apart
Every touch is your words
and everything You can’t say
when your mouth is ...

Check mate
4E
3F
The effort some put into a relationship
Or
4E
3F
When someone wants something bad enough
How they come for it
4E
3F
Depending how you look at it
Church and state or check mate.

No Part Of This World
I saw rain fall this morning
And I was grateful
I walked to the bathroom and turned on the water and I was grateful
I heard a scream. ran to the window a bullet laid in a women’s body
She was still alive
I was grateful
I saw a homeless man eating
I was grateful
I saw a women holding her child in the rain the baby was well covered
I was grateful
I was able to leave and not see those things anymore
I was grateful
I woke up this morning and
all I see is cornfields now
Some rabbits and maybe a few bugs
and I’m...

I can’t breath
I’m laughing and running I can’t breath
I’m in conversation I can’t breath
Your making love to me I can’t breath
I’m on the bus I can’t breath
A tiny ball rolls down my air way
Then stops on purpose
I can’t swallow
I need help but I can’t holla
Then a little bit air comes in
I want to swallow it all but
Im gasping too fast,
how long oh God will it last
Help me I can’t breath (tears)
Don’t want no one to see me
spit up or choking
I rather stay alone I’m so broken (tears) ...
