Whisper
Died when I was fifteen,
Shot at eight,
At eight this little boy, questioned if he could be great,
Someone told him he wasn't nothing,
The first shot he would take,
And multiple shots later,
As his age begins to get wise,
He becomes traumatized and no longer tries,
He's only fifteen,
And this young boy, already died inside,
The truth,
Remain concealed behind his eyes,
He smiles in public,
Yet feels no happiness inside,
He thinks,
Too many times I tried,
Too many times I failed,
I no longer believe,
I can...

Focused
Feel like I'm flapping my wings,
And still haven't flew yet,
Guess I wasn't meant to fly...yet,
Working hard, dripping sweat,
Until that day I finally,
Get out of this mess,
I'm a diamond buried,
Amongst all the dirt,
People over look me,
Until I emerge,
For now I remain submerged,
Into my books so I won't get took,
By these crooks,
Mental pictures keep the pictures,
So my memory never fade,
When its time to rely,
On the knowledge I've gained,
Watch out for me, I'm coming,
Running and running,
Never...

In the Wake of a New Life
Side note: My poetry is a journey of my life. I'm unselfish so I share some of it.…to show I'm human and to hopefully help someone else.
Sitting here scared to death,
Paranoid about what will happen next,
Similar place but new ventures,
Rattles my mind and I'm scared by my potential,
Emotionally shooked,
Rising up, I see when I look,
Ahead of myself yet I'm still afraid myself,
My life serves more of a purpose,
And I'm aware of it,
Sometimes motivates me to fail less,
Because I inspire people,
And if I fail,
Their hope for...

Untitled
I've always been a loner,
And questioned the ways,
Of a typical living, I was born to be different,
And I'm starting to snip away,
At the false realities of the world,
And paint my own way,
Suddenly the picture clearer,
And actually reaching my dreams, got less defensive,
I'm getting even more inventive,
Seeing reality as reality, yet it never hinders,
The flame that simmers,
Inside of me when the obstacles stacking and doubt is living,
Living more vividly than before,
Growing even more,
Expanding my reach,...

Reliving
Still turned on by my past,
Wondering how long does it last,
Yet still relevant is my present,
Though certain times,
My past gets the best,
Of me while I have time to breath,
Guess I’m a slave to it,
Chained,
And shackles on me, fitting tighter than anklets,
Dying to run from the past,
But I can’t escape it,
Every time I run away, my mind chase it,
Guess it was meant for me to embrace it,
Realizing some pleasures feel good but it’s a bitter fruit,
Slowly poisoning me, I die slowly,
Never knowing this,
Because the...

Predestined Words
Always told,
I wasn’t good enough,
Accepted the truth,
And the confidence I had left,
I threw it up,
There goes my gut,
Instinctively inclined to fail,
Never think try,
Because I’m born to fail,
Words stamped on me since my youth,
I ate those words up,
And started to live that truth,
Failure after failure,
Confirmed the peanut gallery words,
To be true,
Have you once tried to fly?
Then life smacks you down like,
I TOLD YOU,
Starting to believe,
Life hates me from the moment,
I opened my eyes,...

The Past Birthed
I was sixteen when my mother left,
the worst feeling....I ever felt,
the one who birthed me,
spit me out,
tossed me out the house,
from that day on,
its only been me in my life,
what a long run,
a long journey,
one child left to fight,
without his mommy,
tummy hungry,
it sounds like a honey,
bee, buzzing in the grass,
my mother cut the umbilical cord,
she cut my dreams too,
off with head went that, with my exit too,
two years of street smarts keep my blood warm,
as I wondered through the streets sneaking...

I (love myself)
message: love yourself always....first...and life will be beautiful regardless
inspiration: poem inspired by Kendrick Lamar new single "i"
Success is crippling,
Eyes no longer look to me to be,
The brightest star they ever see,
They’re no longer amazed,
so they no longer applaud me,
But I don’t care,
I love myself,
Even when she said I wasn’t good enough,
painted a picture of a man, but it wasn’t me,
inside my heart cracked and started to bleed,
she don’t believe, there’s a man that she sees,

Change
We started off as kids,
Then birthed into adolescence,
You went one way, I went another direction,
Since then, it haven't been the same, since,
I'm writing sentences, and you're getting
sentenced,
Reality struck by life, I'm dying to be replenished,
So many I once knew from young,
Now getting educated,
Or being decapitated by life,
Others struggle to pay bills, a young mother or wife,
Honestly, my heart's hurting,
Because my eyes still view us as about six,
Busy bodies in the world, innocent to it,
Yet can walk in decisions,...

Misconstrued
Apart of the "Dying Generation,"
Death tolls higher than rates of graduation,
In nation not third world,
But the crimes are elevating,
So many innocent victims killed,
Our hearts can't take it,
How many broken hearts,
Do families have to embrace?
Lifestyles they had to change,
Just to transition through life,
Living life, without one less name,
Are we living in a nation deranged or untamed?
Laws supposed to restrict,
But induce more pain,
"Stand your Ground,"
Is that another way of telling us to fight...

See YOU
Taking instagram pics,
In search for like for your body,
Depression is close,
If likes don't blow,
I wonder if curious eyes ever knew,
The power they give the deflating you,
That never know,
Even with clothes on,
You still....glow.
You're God's creation,
That was meant to blossom,
Whether some plants seeds inside you or not,
You were given breath,
By the creator of life,
So your creation alone is magnificent.
I hope you get this message,
Before you miss your essence,
And constantly chase after,
Someone else...
