"Ocean poem" Follow the rivers, follow the streams. That leads to the ocean, And then… Let the ocean lead you to where you need to be. Have a dream, and strive for it. Let it die, or keep it alive, and work hard for it. Shall the neon lights that spell out "temptation”; tempt you? Then walk around, Because on the other side "success" is written; Your lamp is flickering, Choose to be happy doing what you love, Or choose to be depressed forever. Follow the ocean. Follow the weather. The storm; a quiet whisper, Each roll of thunder, each flash of lightening; And the breeze from the oceans' mist; May your dreams last Last as long as this. Follow your heartbeat. Count the blessings you've received. Follow your head. Find what your mind may conceive, And where that could lead; May the feelings you have, And the dreams you own, Last as long as this. #OceanPoem ...

  "Wish I Could..." LATELY IM SMOKING MORE             [Sorry mom, I, I had to do it.] LATELY IM SMOKING MORE BUT IM STILL FOCUSED MORE. I LIVE TODAY BECAUSE TOMORROW   I NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.

Tightrope I move through anxious crowds. Cameras flashing, everyone’s loud. On a tightrope, with every word written Because an old girl mentioned; could bring a new girl trippin' . Or a nigga caught slippin ' could bring a nigga gone missing. With every confession, I sit at this concession, Drinking I’m led deeper, Falling from the pedestal at which they currently hold me. Propelled by a force of strong feelings Compelled to make it so I won't have to resort to drug dealing And the momentum just builds. The rope on which I walk gets thinner each step. But I gotta move forward. Each word I carefully plot. And I make moves when the time is right. Because one misstep, like, a single shuffle of my feet. & ill plunge into the deep, abyss, called the streets. So what is it to be a poet?  To write poems What does it take? Heart, strength, dedication A dedicated strong heart that can’t break A face that is remarkably ...

 [no title. couldnt think of one. totally inspired by Ariana Grande. hope she sees it.] . DAMN! Ok girl I see you. With yo high heels, And ya black dress. What a lovely sight, You the model type You the lover not a fighter type Hope im right. Girl when's ya flight? Because I’ve been dying to meet ya Heard about that show you put on last night, And the outfits that were featured Raunchy, but Beautiful, so I respect it.            Every shot that was taken My memory cannot recollect. But the cameras were rolling, so bet, we'll never forget. Beyond compare I can never compare you to another, Look at you. Look at you in the mirror. So special Strutting, down the run way With your head high Confidence is a sexy sign. Wonder woman. Ooh girl I wonder woman; Will you be my wonder woman? For the night, or perhaps for our life? Its whatever I see that smile upon ...

  Bye summer, ya gone fast. But while you lasted, we had a blast. I know you gon miss me. For we go together like fresh waves & crisp tees. Empty the pool as it fills with sticks & leaves. I break it off with the chick I met down at the beach. Shit, Had to do it first; No time for a heart break; school, work, ball. Going hard in the winter time; Pack the camping gear away up in the attic. I’m focused on this music thing in the winter so that next summer ya’ll can have what you’re askin’. So bye party time, Bye badd women, Good bye barbecues, Good bye going swimming. Good bye summer, As i look up at November sky. I guess I lost another one to the winter time.

Dear Aria :  im not gonna take up your time. i understand you have things to do.   you’re beautiful . I wanna say your flawless but of course ; i don’t know you , i don’t know your weaknesses , i don’t know your strongest areas , i , don’t know YOU; Ariana the person . but from what i do see , what the television portrays ; you are a very significant girl , a very gorgeous , hot , cute , wonderful girl .  Now , i would love to get to know you but of course ; we both  know that’s probably NEVER going to happen . so here we stand , divided by this letter . i can only hope you read this , that would make me feel better . comment it , like it , print it out and take a picture of you scraping booking it , or just throwing it away . i just want you to know that i wrote this .

Cold hearted ; but you cant revive what refuses to break ! and your eyes pierce my soul tryna heat me up, girl remember we used to cut  to make up ? now we boutta break up . and its half your fault . ooh girl you made me this way, you assissted in this business . lies and all that . games a child would assist in . i realize you wasnt my girlfriend you was a childish assistant , *or something like that* just look at this monster you've created . my heart is never jaded , rather serrated , BLADED ! which is why lately i've been getting faded . you hear the sad tones in these poems , its all you . its all your creation . and i know you hate it . and yeah your heart still matters . to me . but to you mine is a , is a . well mine is shattered . and you tried to flatter , but not even your little empathy can plaster ; a heart froz...

Racist Remarks. Said in the dark. thought no one would hear. Now, we're screaming loud & clear! [[J-U-S-T-I-C-E!]]  we demand! on no ground you stand. because of a hoodie on his head, Arizona & some skittles n his hand! [ENOUGH!]  we say. zimmerman had no right. to take a life, because of black & white. leaving a mother and father to grieve. they're baby is gone! and where's the justice? its taking too long. City Police im ashamed. i thought it was your job. to serve and protect… but now its about to be ours. thats no THREAT, trust me thats a PROMISE. cause if George is seen in the street, he won't survive to see to see his trial. we just want justice. ....

 "September Love" . SUMMERS' ending. Our love is FALLING. Pick up your phone. Cause girl I'm calling. I'm calling for you. Where have  you been? Summer's closing. I thought we were: "more than friends." It isn't supposed to end like this. What we have. We should make it last. This 3 month relationship. Should go all year round. I'm tryna go into the ground; With you. ----------- Aging secrets. I'm tryna run the town with you. You have a past. As well as I. We're perfect for each other; Can't you see? When September ends; I need you here with me. #love  "Give Me"  Baby: Give me your fears! Give me your nights alone! Give me your pain! So I can write this poem. Give me your heart! Give me your anger! Give me your LOVE! Give me your HATE! Give me your danger! ...

"Complexity of my Mind [chopped] Late night, I feel fine. Just me & my content mind Light up. Pour out. Candles lit. Cup of wine Just sipping slow Wasting time In my phone; writing poems Dreaming about this girl I know. She turned in to the girl I've known. Crazy how; things change. Even crazier; how people do And it’s crazy what the world is like, Even crazier; what you thought you knew. So I'm in my room, just playing Drake. Take Care just to set the mood. Got bottles popped. Cause when I'm "ON" chances are my mind is OFF of you. The liquor was so strong. I thought I was over you. «But I was wrong. » Wishful thinking I guess. Got me into this mess I am so stressed. I could use an L. I get high to get by. Cause I be like; so low. And I be like; I don't need you, I’ll just ride; SOLO. Restless nights for me Results from deep thoughts Rolling in like storm clouds But we s...

"When we cuddle, and your head is on my chest. That's the feeling that I love, I swear that feeling is the best. We work against gravity & I feel as if I'm flying. Far above the drama, & higher than the sorrow. In this moment; my heart slows down, Blood goes cold. & I feel so special. This moment of serenity, Comes only when you're here with me. Only when I hear your heart beat, and your breathing next to me. You have the power to make me stronger. And you always hold me down. Your intelligence is so attractive. I wish to see you in white gown. All the words you speak, And the way you believe in me. Cures my mind from thoughts of quitting. And when you kiss me, honestly, in that moment, I lose the many other memories. As we look up at the clock, The time is running late. But we fall asleep again, In each others' arms is our fate. ...laying in this sleep state. stuck in this sleepy state, im r...

{whipser it when you read it. kendrick Lamar FLow. so you feel it. :) } Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence is the language of my seclusion. Silence is my shadow, it is not an illusion. The worlds silence is the reason I've enter seclusion. silences SILENCES their words that're so crude, & rude! Ahaa. Silence makes me a deep thinker. Silence! Maketh me a peace maker! Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence gives me wisdom. Silence gives me strength & peace. Silence wipes away lonely tears. Silence allows me to summarize & memorize lifes past year. Silence whispers to me in secret: "are you good with..." That's between me & my conscious. Silence. Silence. Silence. When I'm in silence, There's NO violence. and I LOVE IT.   

Broken promise.  So deceiving.  This is life?  It’s so misleading.  People love ya; and then they leaving.  Making promises. And can't keep it.  Wow!  This is crazy.  What a world?  What a life.  Fix that promise that you told that girl.  That you broke; is that right?  That doesn’t change juss overnight.  Gotta work. In order to make that right.  And it may take a couple years,  Or it may take your whole life.   Broken promise.  Like these broken mirrors.  They cut us deep.  Cuts that nonstop bleed.  Not even if you take the time to apologize.  And don't pay me off;  I aint concerned with your dollar size.  I'm more concerned with why you lie a lot.  Say you gon be here, I wait about 2 hours and that turns into two years; which turns into a few tears, and then into a few fears that you will never be here like y...

LACKING SUBSTANCE. Party Girl. Living in her own [party] world. Drugs in her body make her feel like she has it all. But her life is lacking substance, like these impure white lines. Heart struggles to be healed, from getting broken so many times. She lacks substance! So to fill it she does white, *Sniff, sniff.* She snorts away her whole life "Sorry for being real. Sorry for making promises. Sorry you can't heal. You're nobodys second option" She done heard so much of that, She rather just live her life. She makes plans for the day, That contrast the night. & She arrives, in a dress that contrast her heels. Club Night. She just tryna get healed. 8 glasses got her faded. 9 more and she's done. She on the dance floor naked. In her eyes is the sun. Like ice on a curvy road. Lacking substance, Tryna move. Like a rose in the sand, Roots do not last long. So what she's taught i...
