POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I’ve been writing since I was 8. I was in my 30’s before I read my writing out loud or anyone read it. My pieces are a mash of my experiences and views my undeniable overactive, some dark imagination. & stories that have been told to me All opini
You Don’t Know Me
Who do you think you are playing with me
Threatening a woman makes you feel strong, because you know you’re weak
Niggas like you only see one side of me
I told you, you don’t want me, you don’t know me..
Because Niggas like you are too dumb to see past this sweet Kentucky girl swag
You don’t the beast in me
The beast I was raised to be
My father, uncles, brothers and cousins didn’t just rough me up, they fucked me up
They taught me never get caught in a mans grasp
They said no matter what a man has more strength
My...

Remember
He said I was
fat, sloppy, ugly, nappy, and nowhere near sexy
No matter how Much I say I don’t care,
Those words hurt, made me lower my head
I lost some of that sass in my walk
I went home alone
Striped down
looked in the mirror naked and looked at it all
Wondering if how I seen myself was wrong
I taught myself to see the beauty in my flaws, my scars
Now I was seeing the flaws, and scars, the stretch marks and curves the way that man saw me a man that meant nothing to me
I was ready to cover instead of accentuate

My Body
This is my Body
My beauty lies within my curves & each of my flaws.
So when you skinny girls see me, you may laugh and throw shade,
but your man is giving me nothing but praise.
wondering why you spent so much money making that body “the perfect shape “
And I’m so comfortable in my beautiful natural shape.

Us
Life taken for granted
Gone unexpected
Loved ones left behind
Not understanding
“Pray for us!”
We say
But it’s us that’s killing us, or them controlling us
Or the mother’s and fathers that didn’t know how to raise us
Or our neighborhoods, school, friends, and environment
I don’t know where the blame lies, I know I don’t want any more of us to die
Who saves us
Who changes us
The answer is simple
We are the people the strong and proud
We don’t need saving by the government or anyone
We as a people united...

Big Brother
Big brother are you resting in peace?
I hate when someone says your death was meant to be.
Fuck peace I want you here with me.
Fuck the mourners that cried , posted and moved on.
No relief for me, I see no peace....I need my big brother here with me.
Fuck y’all telling me to let the tears go, I still don’t understand how y’all can let my brothers suspicious death go.
Leave me alone and let me be.
Please understand I’m not mourning I’m empty without my brother beside me.
No speech no eulogy nothing will ever comfort me.
Not until I’m next to my...

The devil had his way
He walked in a daze most of his life
Drugging up
Partying
He believed he was living the life
Growing older
The streets beat him down
No one sees him as the good time player
Just a drugged out clown
His life is no longer his own
It belongs to the drug dealer he owes
The man lets him know he can clear his tab and get a bag of snow
Just give him one the thing
The last thing he has to sale
He looks at the dealer with crazy wild eyes
But he drops his head
Knowing him saying he won’t do it is a lie
He will sale his...

Tease
I see the looks the stares
Your hands almost shake with the desire to touch me
I love the game
The chance to tease
The feeling I get knowing how much you hate that I tease and the harder you get thinking of me pleasing
I oil my body wet and shiny
I wet my lips waiting for you to enter it
I call your name
spread open
You call my name leaning closer to touch me
I inch a little closer
You stick that tongue out
I move away
You hate me now
I love to tease
I know you are waiting for me to please...

Her Life
This girl was born in small rural town
Her life was hard before her feet first touched solid ground
Druggies for parents no one there to protect
She grew up lonely
She grew up not knowing
She never knew trust
She never knew love
She only knew lies
She only knew judgment and drugs and hard life
She hated her life she hated herself
She became a teen and only knew how to give one part of herself
She gave her body to anyone who asked
She let lust fill her needs never giving a damn
She thought sex would ease the pain
She thought...

If
If I say I hate you
You say you want to be my friend
What If I do hate you?
What if I even hate your smile, your style just the fact you walked in?
You say because I don’t like you
I am disrespectful & mean
It’s disrespectful for your face and voice to invade my mental
If it wasn’t for prison I would most likely cut you
Get away from me and find your own way
Family or friend
Does not matter to me
I just might hate your face
I might hate when you’re smiling
When you feel joy
I want to spit...

Stalker
Move me
Move me through the streets
Let me see
I want to watch the people as they come and leave
I want to block the chaos and enjoy this
Being blown through the crowd
Invisible
The feeling is wonderful
Watching from afar
Seeing a woman a man a child
Even animals roam around
I am being moved through this life in a cloud of darkness
I move through needing to feel the spark
The spark from people living lives I cannot
I am in a corner watching
Watching from afar ...

Leave Me Be
If I scream
Will anyone hear?
Will any one care?
I am losing it
I can’t handle it all
God sometimes I just want to fall
Lay still
Don’t move
Leave me here
I am so tired
My bones ache
I am so tired
How much am I required to take?
True, some troubles I brought on myself
I still need a break
Everyone’s down my throat
Telling me what they thought
I do not care
All of ya’ll in my business
Worrying me
On my back
Questioning me

What We See
We look at women daily
Crossing the street
A passing wave
A nod hello
What do we see?
A pretty beauty
A plain Jane
A sad girl
A lonely girl
A snob
A good mother
A working woman
A bitch
We never know the pain held inside
Deeds done when alone
A child left alone and cold
She was given to the streets
The system she was thrown in
Men as she grew took the place of a parents love
Love she thought she found was not within these men
Beautiful came from these men
Left alone ...
