Today I am a sad poem
Not because of any man
Or any woman either
Not because there is nothing to be happy about
And I have much to be thankful for
I am a sad poem because I’m sad

Today I am so happy to be free
So happy I can follow my dreams
I see now what that meant by what I did yesterday would affect me today
I don’t want to die today
Not today
Today I woke up on time
to make it to class
Today I baked a cake
Licked the icing off my finger tips
i want to write so much about you Ma,i just don't know where to begini don't want to wait till it's mother's day or women's day or even your birthdayso that i a acknowledge how much you mean to me,
One thing that can never be disproven,
Is that time one way or another,
Will always keep moving,
The clock on the wall,
Will forever tik onward,
That is why my motto,
Is to always move forward,
Simple things have always been able to thrill me.An unexpected box of Thin Mints,the sun streaming through clouds on a wide open field,a garlic press from someone who just wants to make my life a bit easier,and especially the smile of a baby who
One last entry before the night comes to an end,
One more thought before the sheep comes-
Slowly one by one,
A puffy little cloud strutting aimlessly
Above an unsurfaced ground.
One last note to play-
eyes
eyes lie, that’s the one truth I say
they hide who a person truly is
their personality, the clear vision
of their humanity
humanity?
it needs a human for humanity
I thought about her today
I thought about her eyes
Her hair, her lips,
The way she lays
Down on a soft bed
I thought about her
And all of her magnificent beauty
I do that a lot
Right and wrong is no longer definedBy a divided line Morality no longer exists in the human mindTruth has been overcome by compromise and lies
They say to us,
"This generation knows nothing,
they're only children,
what do they know?"
But they don't know the battles we've fought,
the fear we faced,
the weights on our shoulders.
I always thought that when I grew up I would be free
No cares in the world with a little responsibility.
No one ever told me about loans, mortgages & debt,
Have you seen?
the mountains and the trees
have you seen?
the water in a stream
have you seen?
the endless crashing sea
have you seen?
the beautiful golden leaves
have you seen?
I get to decide my own destiny.And if I want to be a rebel without a cause then so be itbecause in the end I won't live my life with any regret.I don't want to live in fear. Fearing what life will bring for mebecause I didn't want learn how to fly
If you take a second and just look around..
left, right, up, and then down..
I want you to think to yourself what happens when your eyes close.
I am from seashells,
from sandcastles and saltine crackers.
I am from the many doors of the Windsor Heights apartment building
and you could hear the waves crashing on the beach of San Diego, California.
He asked me if I loved him.
I said I'm sorry no.
In a population so belittled.
Love meant so little.
While hatred,
Overpowered it.
The press somehow devoured it.
Social Media is a game controling our life.
Loging on to Facebook
Recieving "Likes"
Logging on to Twitter
Receiving "Favorites"
Logging on to Vine
Receiving "Revines"
Is today a good day?
Just because the sun doesn't shine today, doesn't mean it isn't.
The rain may bring a good day for someone who has a hard time finding fresh water.
another day I wait
For another fresh take on the fundamental question of 'What is Today?'
I don't mean the day of the week or a arbitrary holiday
I mean of life
Why do i feel like I'm suffocating?
We chatted all through the morningAnd shared stories over pastries and teaYour quiet company I'll dare to admitMade me quite happyWe traveled for a bit
Tomorrow, I want to cure cancer,But for today, I will just study hard in science.Tomorrow, I want to be a brain surgeon,
I let a boy dictate my happiness.
I let a boy wiggle his way into my heart.
I let him rest along the softest parts.
Let me tell you about as some girls
Crooked toes
Scarred knees
From my childhood memories
Fat thighs
Every girls dream
Kinda sorta not really
Trust me there not the best thing
Chubby stomach
Everyday is a living day
As i see people come and go by
For some people is tragedy
For some others is heaven
Twenty-two seven,
Wandering in the streets
Writing my life on these sheets
Wake up each and everyday as positive as u were asleep ooen the door to today yesturdays door is locked to history now everything negatuve is auto past and everything positive is advanced to u to keep and have go into today as if u hate no one an
How was I supposed to know it was so bad to be educated and black?
Do I really intimidate you to the point of you trying to hold me back?
All I've tried to do was make something out of $5 and a dream,
Don’t give up just yet,
We all go through hard times
I don’t want to say goodbye,
And I care so please don’t cry
But when I stand here with you,
I see what could be so true
It was once physical
Others were considered property
Now it is social
Others are considered inferior
So since we can't control what they think
We control what they do
at the end of every today that passes
i lay able to rest
because i know that it means
i am yet another day closer
another day closer to my tomorrow
The cold woman caught my eye
It is strange though
I never once saw her cry
Or even heard her bellow
The words to a tune of a lost soul
The homeless woman stole my attention
How could she live
How does her tongue glaze the pencil
Offering ideas in exchange for perversion
Under the chipped paint
Wood grows
Swells
Into blossoming cities with powerful citizens
Sketched quickly and violently
When I reach for the pen and paper, and begin to write/
Do I write about what’s right or mainstream it to tight/
One brings fame while the other brings respect/
I guess the only way to impress is to show intellect/
Today and Tomorrow Not the same now Its like two sides of a coin Heaven and Hell i supposeToday's ride homeTomorrow's pollution stormYet no one seems to botherunless its the order
what would i say could change? it would be me. My knowledge of how powerful education really is and how successes could better me. How education would have helped me become a better me.
Come with me, get lost in a place we've never known.Hide in the thick forest where only shadows are shown.Feel the gentle breeze go through everything around.Listen to the music, listen to the sound.Climb a tree that feels and looks like it will n
How deep can the depths of your heart go?How many things do you hide that you've wanted to show?You bottle it up and swallow your pride.You cover it up when it's clear that you've cried.Let your heart tell your mind what you've wanted to say.Let i
Everyone's looking for their someone,
The one to make them whole.
Everyone keeps wishing,
To be a less lonely soul.
You hope that person's out there,
With all the love you need.
Yesterday is gone my dear friend,
it has already come to an end.
With all its blunders and its tears,
follies,defeats and other fears.
The endless tears you may have wept,
Awake at early morning
Tiptoeing down the stairs
Past the pictures wrapped in frames
And gliding toward cold air
I'm surrounded by many.
I know people love me.
But why do I still feel lonely?
I smile, laugh, and have fun.
But why don't I feel happy?
What people see isn't always true.
I saw the best of their generation enveloped
In the blaze of their heat In the passion of their words, In the rhetoric of their demagogues
I chose to write today
Having been gifted with literacy
Gifted with the words I say
Have power, the authority
To bear truth, God-given knees
Bent in prayer, wholly broken
I intend to leave my footprints wherever I go Where I'm going only the heavens know I'm going to live my life,not fast, but slow Indulging in the hardships of becoming successful Walk in my shoes, my life is anything but a joke Travel from being h
Don’t hope for a tomorrow
Better than all the ‘todays’
You have gotten
Only when you realize that
Today
Is better than yesterday
And tomorrow
Is simply an echo of the future
Will you find
Ah, Life. The Great Uniter, The Great Divider. So many burdens to bear, so many battles to fight, so many ways to fall. Are you strong enough to walk, powerful enough to run this race?
Missing you is me
Loving you is free
being true is easy
but not completely
today is a given
and tomorrow is never known
so be happy
and let yourself be shown
