Magical, Insane
I've never been one to believe in Magic, Voodoo, Hocus Pocus, Apothecary potions...
But Lord, I think he put a spell on me.
We went a weeks without each other and I just couldn't seem to break free.
Probably cause I prayed to God to show me what was best,
So I guess he said "Chels, stay...don't leave."
I tried to break off, remove myself emotionally,
but nothing seemed to be as satisfactory.
I was without your touch, so anyone's touch seemed to do,
but no ones was as satisfying as that from you.
I was without your kiss, so anyone's kiss seemed to...

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Black Hoods
War in the streets,
Pavement, paved with black blood,
Black hood, black hoodies, black streets.
Sirens, silenced, modern civil war, no law, introduction of black balance.
Eight, eighteen
Makes no difference with a 18.
40 oz. 48 hours, 24 might be the last seen, walking down the black streets.
Black faces, hidden behind black masks.
Die or die. Predestined failure.
Generational failure.
Cyclic shame, recycled,
shots taken in vain.
Gun powder, hideout, shooting up,
powder in veins.
Nothing like the black hood
Pavements, paved...

Black hood, black hoodies, black streets.

If I die
If I die, before I wake,
Let there be redemption in my dreams.
If in my sleep, i take my last breath,
Let the lords mercy, shower me.
Let there be redemption in my dreams.
If in my sleep, i take my last breath,
Let the lords mercy, shower me.

Keep Soaring.

All choked up
Help me,
Help me understand!
I need to understand.
What do you mean I don't get it?
Have you really tried to explain?!
So that's it, that's the best you can bring yourself to,
Well alright.
I guess, I'll just sit here and wait til you're ready to talk, just like I always do.
It's the abyss as the iris that he stares into as he continues to pull,
but manages to bring nothing out of me.
I can't possibly explain how I feel,
So instead we sit in silence, and he contemplates his disappointment, fuming with anger.
Heated to...

Something more
It is the world that pushes people to go insane,
If I had the guts, I'd probably too blow out my own brains.
We blame the suicidal ones for their lack of resilience.
I once had my sanity, but it's the fucked up shit that's stealing it.
Why work so hard, when they structure it so you fail?
For me, a black one, I got a few years left til Im on the streets.
If not there, in the hands of some government dependency
with a few kids, and a few fathers, all deadbeat.
A black woman,
I'm a statistic waiting to happen,
But that's nothing discreet.
the man...

The stranger in me
I closed my eyes, pursed my lips, eager to lift myself to heights that I had only knew from a distance.
It burned. My chest heaved. My mind began to curse. Discouraging me from a path I had begun to pace.
I waited.
Lost in thought I began forming feelings I had not yet felt. Imagining emotions I had never experienced. The trees were new to me. Shifted in shape, downsized. Roaming through my chest.
I continued pacing down that path.
I opened my eyes to a world unseen. My hands tingled. My chest danced. My mind jumped quickly, from the circles swirling before me, to...
