Shoes
Oct 6, 2008
2 years i fell for the lies
his version of the truth
i deteriorated
going from young woman to youth
believing every single word
because a girl with no father
has faith in wuts heard
working her way backwards
she has faith that that man will not abuse
has faith in her man
even wen that faith is misused.
because a girl with no father
needs someone to fill the empty shoes.
so she gives the boy power
and a little ego boost
gives him all smiles...
since he's filling the shoes.
he thinks he's a man
n bites off more than he can chew
she gave him her heart
but he resents the responsibility
cause wen it was flirting and fuckin
he was all wit it,
but now that its patience and effort
he aint trying to commit
so she gives him an inch
but he always seems to take a mile
because he knows that those shoes aint going nowhere for a while
he knows shes attached and has given him her soul
so he thinks he can play games...puts her on hold
until one day the girl decides she is strong enough to go it alone
puts her big girl panties on
slowly says goodbye on the inside
then oneday tells him she's gone.
she takes time to herself
and regains her soul
realizes that if she just loves herself
as much as she loved him
it wont hurt no more
and when he sees her shine...
for the very first time...
he wants to posses that star
he says all the things she was dying to hear from the start
but they're all just a little to late
she's come too far
because this woman lost the naiive ideas
but has now turned to mistrust of the human race.
she tries to fit back in
but its no longer her place.
so instead of it being a relationship
its all a lie...but it gleams
i mean it shines
on the outside...
until the lies
are uncovered
u see he wants me as much as i used to want him
and my heart bleeds for him
cause i know the pain he is in...
but it could never be the same again.
confusion
submerged in wisdom
brings truth to the surface
and a whole lot of pain...
i tried to love u again in vein
and ive decided its not worth it
i know this is a hand full...
but wen u hurt, remember this
i didnt know how to break a heart
until u lead by example
now reminisce.

i wanna paint your body
all over mine
drink u down
like a tall glass of wine
lettin u run all thru my senses
every part of yo body that was once tense is
now relieved
listnin to your heartbeat
cant fall asleep
cause i cant miss a second
of a moment so deep.
can i please creep
into your heart and soul
plant seeds of love
and watch them grow
ILL be your warmth in the cold
if u promise to never let go

random scraps of future poems i have laying around
__________________________________________
cuz at the end of the day
i wanna kik back wit u..
bump talib kweli and roll up some trees
_________________________________________
shit just aint wut it used to be
see i may look young, but beyond my yeRS
I have widom
where my emotions should b.
music has turned into the highschool hoochie
gettin around, letting everyone have a piece of the pie
wondering why
its infected and diseased.
and these yung bucks have no idea
they cant see it
so wut they hear from the rap niggas
they aspire to be it
drugs, money, hoes
runnin from the police...
painting pictures with music videos
makin it seem like thats the place 2 b
and my only prolem wif this is...
i gotta baby brother
no older than 6 years
and im coutin
on him...
2 be the future
so all yall niggas glorifying drugs and streets
while im trying to teach him to stand on his own 2 feet
legally
u may be my nigga and all
but u not playin me
and in 14 more years lil bro will be
a young man with capabilities.
because he wasnt lead to apire to be
like erry utha nigga on BET.
____________________________________________
i dont even know if u remember wut u said last time we talked
see u was drunk n high
but wut we sed ment a lot
but in case u forgot...
we was politicing n vibin
reminising of times
before we even used to want to get high
because life was so beautiful sober
no artificaial ingredients need be added
wut eva wun of us needed, the other one had it
but we still both know its over...
and even tho u say
u'll be back to claim ur heart some day
I retain pain
in my soul
Ill never be able to love again that way.
______________________________________________
provides the strive
n drive to make u want to do more
than just survive.
be more than just alive
I want to do more than just get by
_____________________________________________
HOW CAN U
kiss me and curse me wit the same mouth?
love me and hurt me with the same heart?

High THought
Oct 6, 2008
its beautiful when 2 people can chief together
cause not only does that mean they can lean 2gether
but they can scheme 2gether
and more importantly
they can dream together
8/9/07
and then u died and left me here
u must have told me your first lie
cause u told me things would be clear
when your gone
but you were wrong.
i sing our same old songs...
and there stil "aint no sunshine when she's gone"
i'd like to fly like u...
an angle in heaven
but i cant
so i do wuts closest to it
i get high...
but i still cant reach you.
only reason im still going is because i kno
i live beneath you.

in one aspect u are who people say you are because even if u arent who they say u are its who u aspire to be.because its where u fit into the world comfortably. this is dangerous because for example if a nigga gets praised by friends and fam more for coming home from jail than coming home from college, he is naturally going to do what is expected of him. glass ceiling? or just weak characters?
