When I ponder about life's existence,
I have patience rather than vanity
In the American experience-
USA, with gloat, loses sanity;
Grasping this entire world of disorder,
When looking for the best reflective surface,
One needs to be careful.
You have to be very particular,
Hush my dear
Shed no tear
Keep it all inside
Turn your head
As I go to bed
And utter not a sound
Love has no respect for me
Waste not your devout sympathy
Ain't given a chance
For romance
With education
Ain't worth living
Without giving
To this nation
That doesn't want
No talk
About immigration
Especially those without legality
You drown my thoughts
Make it impossible for me to do everyday tasks
I can't go to the store and buy a single thing
The feeling of your weight on my shoulders stops me
You follow me wherever i go
The voices, they whisper drink drink drink
The addiction irresistible and you are unable to think
You feel the guilt and shame
You start playing the blame game
Threw it all when You lost it all
Threw the cause you find a way
Just to let us know and say
I'm with you today
And when you are beaten down
You get right back up
When you try
You never give up
The word Taken can mean a lot of things.
I knock on the door of taken but it tells me there is no one home
Sometimes it is hard to express my thoughts
but, he understands my silence
Sometimes it is hard to express my sorrow
but, he understands my tears
Sometimes it is hard to express my happiness
There is nothing I hate more
than to watch people suffer
with problems they could easily solve,
all because they're too afraid to say something.
Everyone has that thing they can't say
to anyone else
I sit
In my stuffy bedroom,
Ceiling fan buzzing,
Doing little to fan the flames in my head.
You struck a match in my brain
That has been contained over time,
But to this day,
I’m always talking about talking.
Almost every poem I write stresses the importance of using your words,
or the joys of finding your voice,
or the pain that comes with being speechless,
Love sucks
in a lot of ways.
Not to get too teenagery on you,
But isn’t it kind of stupid
How you can bare your soul to someone
And then be worn to shreds by that exact same someone later
-What is true?
-you?
-me?
-us?
-Yes!!!
-This isn't perplex!
-you......
-me.......
-we.......
-It looks like we were meant to be!
-and what is true about you?
Shattered beer bottles are what's left of our fight
Since the bumps and bruises rarely last long
I can always feel the tempest coming
But I always forget that you are stong
We are at each other's throats constantly
we've all loved
We've all lost
But all can be found
We'll all live
We'll all die
We'll always strive
For better or worse
To love and be loved
We'll find whT was once lost is now found
The life that we praise,
what we call a perfect one,
is not within reach,
but the life we call our own
is just as desirable.
to be Heard
rip opEn the chest
And feel the emotions
Ripped from your lips
hear Me, oh future, oh past
hEar me, oh children born, old men dead
Now is the time to act
My words are written
in the book of life.
Whether it be that they
contain joy or strife.
I am what i proclaim
all myself to be.
For the only one to stare back through the mirror
Lonely girl is so far up above the world. She orbits around, without an anchor to ground her.
I am in a constant state of unhappiness.
In my unhappiness, the happiness is blotted out
By a blank state of staring at something that should, but almost isn’t there
You make me feel so real
I lay awake at note thinking of you
I close my eyes and see only you
Do you realize what you do to me?
Why can you not understand me?
I know you like me,but why baby why
Man,seems like this generation is changing
kids killing parents well this generation is amazing
racism still racing, families break up and now daddy is on vacation
The sharp and the stabbingLike the shards of a broken bottleAnd its gleaming smoothnessLike the beads of a necklaceThey cut my stomach liningLuminescent- like stolen stars
Those were “my girls”, Those were “my niggas”.
I didn’t care about what no one said about me,
Stream of consciousness.
A fill of void and mess.
Generalizing my distress
in a field in which I won't digress.
Yes,
we are all in this world together.
She's got rock star style with that beauty queen flare.
She has my full attention with just the flip of her hair.
She's got a lot of class, I can't even deny.
It is my serenity
My escape when reality is too much to bare.
Freedom among that unexplainable
And you are the guide.
You guided me here,
To this vast wonderland of beauty.
At the time when I was youngI saw life and thought it beautiful.Never once thinking of it in depth,Never once asking it of anything.As life grew around me, so did I
The soft touch. the sweet gaze . What makes me fall and be so enganged ? Every kiss every touch makes my heart beat ever so much ...
The lone days of summer that alters your attention to yourselfSummerThe days that will last for hours and create new memoriesSummerThe season on which you will learn how to say goodbye Summer
I waited for you ever since you set a smile on my face.
I will wait for you as my heart races.
I want to say "I Love You", but I am scared.
Maybe that is why I think the world is unfair.
I’m afraid of myself
I’m afraid that I will never succeed
I’m afraid that my parents will be disappointed in my decisions
I’m afraid that the world will not accept me for who I am
Sitting at the house of light in the dark
Looking on the ocean
Finding a bottle of dreams being lost at sea
Look above me and you will find
An unfinished song forgotten over time
The notes are perfect in my heart they will collide
Some sounds are echoes
Some are whispers
Some demand to be heard and possess your mind
Some just flow past you like a chill
Some sounds hurt you from the inside out and make you want to crawl out of your skin
When words fail; When time runs out; When all is said and done; Though the mode of expression has run thin, I still love you.
Love of those around you goes deeper than one may know
Love is seeded in the heart and stronger than anything
One love stronger than any you may find is the love of a grandmother
She wipes your tears
You and I,
we are like the tides,
you and I.
Yet,
ups and downs,
we carry on.
Sadly but true,
this love is felt by few.
Sadly,
but true.
Yet,
You’re so mesmerizing; you’re the definition of desire.
My heart throbs at the sight of you.
You’re layered with sensitivity and covered in morality, which defines you.
You were the one who was gonna save my heart
Instead you broke it into a thousand parts
Every time exactly the same
But I thought you were different the first time you said my name
I fell but you didn’t catch me
A huge deception
Held out too far to reach, right in front of us
Even by those we trust
It’s behind all the tears that leak out of our eyes
Our sighs, our cries of desperation
And frustration
A Treasure.
So beautiful. Desired at first site.
Corruptive to the soul.
Corruption of the marvelous.
Or the zealous.
You had my heart and you took it,
My soul, my energy, my love
How could you ?
You tried to take my life,
And flip it,
Who I was,
A foul for you,
Who I am,
Standing here, afraid.Afraid of my own heart,Afraid of my own mind.Do I tell you how I really feel?Do I take the risk?
Some of them melt your heart or leave you sour Make you dream for hours but most will give you the illusion of love Isn’t funny, how senseless someone can be Wasted emotions, that end up crawling back only to have a bite How can someone be all yo
What an ugly thing
fueled in fate
covered in scars
coated in blackness
dripping in blood
and tears.
To be afraid
is the feel pain.
You can't be you.
Sometimes we grow up in a world of sadness
being abandoned, forgotten and lost
we never forget, all the badness
I wonder if this was all a lost cause
Never being told you could do it
I am Africa
not because of my skin
I am Africa
it is who I am
I will go
if you dare not go
I will save my people
while you watch silently
but WE ask "help. please."
They can take away your guns, your money, and your rights, They can put down your revolts, Put an end to your fight, But they can't take away your words, And that's why I write. We're at war, But what for?
