POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poverty in America
If I give you a 50 will you remember me,
Or remember your pain from lack of sovereignty,
My dignity,
Can't help to see you struggle,
Feeling myself about to weep,
Because in my beautiful city,
People live below poverty,
Your sorrow,
I harbor with me,
Tell the truth,
I wish God would bless you monetarily,
America you telling me,
We can fund wars,
But can't find people,
Food to eat,
Black people are free,
But the homeless,
Will never be free indeed,
I wonder if everyone lend a dollar,
Will he or she have...

Prejudice in We
Experienced the most prejudice,
Between my own kind,
Experiencing this,
In these turbulent times,
Is it a crime to be different?
A crime to be ambitious?
A crime,
To want to accomplish things,
Before deadline submission?
Damn,
It's sad and frustrating,
Contemplating evil thoughts,
Against my own racial favorite,
Damn these select few,
Who don't know how to cooperate to,
Accomplish things,
We need to do,
So the higher ups, won't reprimand you,
Prejudice is sad,
Thankful for no discrimination,...

One Light Dark World
I can be with the crowd and not be apart of it,
But eyes get sure,
Regardless of it,
So I'm guilty while I'm innocent,
On-lookers who perceive themselves as innocent,
Look at me as evil, while adrenaline,
Pumps through their veins,
When I'm near them,
The world so foul and twisted,
Even reality is questionable,
It's starting to feel less credible,
But we can't deny the inevitable,
That if you strongly believe in a God,
The faith in that is inseparable,
Fully immeasurable,
But in some form,
You always sense his...

Negative Thoughts Diagnosed
They try to break my spirit,
But they know, they can't kill it,
I'm my own worst villain,
And I killed those voices a while ago,
Now I'm truly living,
The outside world doesn't affect me,
Because internally, I'm at peace,
I always cease to become disturbed by,
The external world trying to affect me,
When I was young,
My confidence neglects me,
I felt,
So incomplete,
Now you never catch me,
Walking down the street without confidence raging inside me,
Fought my mental battles, now I'm finally free,
Still evolving...

Could It Be
Psyche distorted,
Love her but I hope a baby is aborted,
Prayed to God before that,
Had instant calm,
Days later had instant calm,
Now I'm wondering,
If her time comes on,
Didn't question God prior,
But now I feel like,
The time is here,
God hasn't come,
With no answers, for this test of faith,
That I am on,
Troubling thing,
But like my parents tell me,
I am grown,
My choices are my own..

Obscured Eyes
Kissed the lips of temptation,
Personally met satan,
Internal complications,
Due to your mental arrangements,
But I'm free now,
Finally can see now,
That distorted presence,
Don't always feel pleasant,
Sometimes you have to ignore yourself,
And trust in the one who say it,
The voice of God,
Covers me when he replied,
Yet the devil trying to make me see life,
Through evil eyes,
Testing my psyche,
Like do you believe in God?
While fighting off worrying,
And feeling broken inside,
Trying to ignore my human...

Spiritual
Forgive me God,
Forgive me, forgive me,
I’m a,
Lost child, forgive me, forgive me,
For being lost,
Come heal me,
Come heal me,
I’m filthy, I’m guilty,
Of the things that eat at me,
Scriptures flee from me,
Look in the mirror,
I don’t see me,
Or who I want to be,
I don’t remember me,
It’s a distorted image I see,
I must discover me,
Because I lost me,
So I fall to my knees,
Praying hard,
………hoping God finds me,
Six months later,
I found me,
Questioned God,
And people around me,...

Allure
You not fully committed if you feeling imprison,
Lust for others’ bodies that you weren’t given,
Adopting sexual vibes,
When you’re nonexistence,
Missing myself,
Missing the ways it used to be,
Usually I don’t say much,
But can you handle this gee,
Tripping over the single life,
I’m not single right,
But my body trying to convince me,
Of an opposite life,
Free me,
Silent yells,
From my unidentifiable self,
Searching for a breath,
I need to breathe,
Free me from my past self and welcome a new seed,
...

Storyline # 1 (part 6)
Sad how it really ended,
Supposed to be the father of your child, but I felt I reneged it,
The person you could console in,
I should’ve been it,
Even if being committed, my heart wasn’t in it,
Resent the times, you couldn’t talk to me,
I was too busy at times,
Others,
I wasn’t acting like I supposed to be,
How so conceited of me,
I was supposed to be,
…………………..there,
Because the mother of my child needed me,
Repeatedly,
I replay these thoughts,
Constantly getting mad at my faults,
Wish I could repay the times my...

Storyline # 1 (part 5)
It's a new story that unfolds,
Thought she died another way,
That's what I was told,
I guess cars don't always wreck,
She was really driving fast, shot herself in the chest,
Then closed her eyes and took her last breath,
Sad that a bad experience caused death,
Suicide kills silently,
A side you seldom see, but mentally its violently,
You just witness the person laying motionlessly,
Hoping they don't see peace,
Before you reach the police..
-L.J.S.

10 years
You left me,
But you brought something back,
A kid with a pen,
Never knew I'll touch lives like that,
Though I still prefer your life right back,
Who ever knew 10 years ago, would lead to this though,
My poetry being read all across the globe,
Have a fan from overseas telling me to keep my feet on pedal and go,
Others reciting their favorite quotes,
I guess your death spark a voice in me that if you haven't left,
I'll never know,
I know you're resting beautifully and I can still see your smile,
What a glow..
