Poet Introduction
I've got a lot to learn
Positive - For All Those Suffering With Bad Stories
I haven’t written in so long, but, it’s 2016 and I’ll be 15 in a couple of weeks. There’s a lot going on but I’m glad that I wrote after all this time, especially on one of my worst days. Take care of yourselves out there.
I thought I washed you off my body,
but I guess dollar store soap isn't too strong.
I threw out the red bra too,
It was the only one that fit but,
I don’t like red anymore.
There was a boy I was talking to,
I thought you left me alone
But, every time he touched me
I didn't see his hands
I saw yours
I can’t hear...

Women Who Live
Momma, can I be a woman? I want bouncy, juicy looking breast, hips I could easily balance babies on, thighs that move like jelly and a bum covered in stripes of dark chocolate & caramel. I don't think many people really understand the soul of a woman, it's really a universe. Did you see her eyes? I know you taught me not to stare but I saw all these lives in it. I don't think she knows it and I really wish I knew the words to give justice to her eyes. The pregnant lady at the bookstore had me paying more attention to her than my christmas shopping. A deep brown life parted her down the...

If found guilty.
You were mine
Now
You belong to the system
Nobody believed when I said
I was going to have your babies
Because
Sweet and Sour
Doesn’t make nice
Darkskin and big hair
We were a bodmon couple
Who’s going to hire us now?
We’ll be stuck in Finch
For life

Have you seen her?
I knew this girl who was evil. Satan really won, she’s the final prize for the fair games you never win. I really do love the evil people, they make your nipples hard, you feel your neck all vulnerable and cold and they push you away but you pull their arms closer. The soothing part about evil people is, they don’t hide the truth. They got a motive, a plan, and know how to execute it. It’s always going to be your fault, you can stay and play or run and hide.
This girl was a background prop. See, all I do is observe, I do not speak, because honestly, I couldn't care less about what...

Glo Up Process
You say I'm grown,
gramma wise,
titties still growing,
cant fit fingers in,
thick thighs &
small bawty shake
you call me “your order”
ID says early January

I lived thru the 90s

you expect me to know love
but i say it too soon
i came out the womb
and loved my mama too soon
but i cant say it to you?
im waitin on braces
rockin that natural face
missed those myspace ages

Fireworks on a Tuesday
11pm walks
Ear drums blasting
Over trap music
Metal on metal
You tell me
You love me
Covering heads
Gripping bodies
All I love
Killas
Gunnas
Drug dealers
And Liars

anya anastasia
do you remember?
mamas smokin and sippin
chicken, rice and cutlets
shorteats for the shorties
that game your daddy lets us play
smashing the screen of the desktop
Lara, agressive three year old
baby bottle was deadly
we treasured that pink monopoly
i always wanted your nintendo
before it got dark
we walked in the back
broken swimming pool
we collected the baby blue tiles
you could find anything there
you could be taken away
any time
that artsy arab lady
she said we were like her girls
showed us art...

Immigrant Girls
this is just another war zone.
you weren’t the first to take my “virginity”
the flights make me too exhausted to run.
you hustle, i hustle.
i was naive but mostly hungry.
don’t think you scarred me,
you’re just another stab.
i laughed each time he flashed the pistol,
baby, don’t you know that’s my childhood?
tear gas is what puts me to sleep.
bombs wilder than Lush.
choppas cloud the skies we fly in.
only thing i have from my countries,
are the drugs you want me to sell.
at least i have something.
he told me they...

Quickie (Actually Want Answers)
Why do they care
If i fuck without feelings?
If i’m outta my mind while i ride it?
That i only go over on Thursday nights?
Sex is on my mind 24/7
Freak is the word for me
He says he likes how loud I can be
When I pull his curls and tighten my grip
Who the fuck said you have to love
Just to fuck?
Answer Me.

Hit It & Quit It, Birth It & Forget It
Everyone hates absent fathers
And commitment.
God bless my father’s sperm
And my mother’s ovaries.
Living out in islands.
Drinking coronas.
Eating street food.
Getting money.
And STD checkups.
Then I was born,
I got 2 years,
Learn all about my parents.
That’s all.
Now I’m almost grown,
I found ways to pay.
Out of every parent teacher meeting.
Faked your signature.
Stayed with everyone everywhere.
Escaped every arrest.
Filled out my HPV shots.
Getting my high school diploma.
And you're...
