She is not that same girl you once knew 
Who only thought 
About 
Her own self 
Who didn't know how to love 
Or how 
to be LOVED 
 
She is no longer 
That hurt little girl 
Who couldn't let go of all the pains 
That caused her to 
Plays games with men's hearts to get ahead 
Only ever considering her own self 
Because it felt better that way 
 
She who fell into the abyss 
Of 
Heartbreaks 
Mistakes 
Casual Sex 
And Loneliness 
That caused her heart to grow cold 
 
She has move past her 
She no longer exists 
 
Life has changed her 
In ways only God knows 
She has emerged this 
Beautiful soul

      Freedom       Freedom 
Is when you final realize your worth 
When you finally stop allowing people to treat you any type of way. 
When you stop them from coming and going and going and coming in your life 
It is when you break the binds the bind you to someone toxic 
Someone who drains the life out of you 
Who suffocates you with their presence 
Who restricts you with their emotions 
Who holds you captive in the past with their baggage 
 
When you finally get the courage 
To say I have had enough 
You no longer allow them 
To rent space in your brain and in your life for free 
You start charging them for every second, every minute and every hour 
That they attempt to steal from your life 
Freedom is being free from anything or anyone that 
That tries to hold you down, that constrains your life or imprisons you in the past. 
 
Freedom is finally being able 
To truly let go of ...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Love to My Black Brothas       Black Brotha, Strong Brotha, there is no - one above ya! I want ya, to know that, I'm here for you - that's forever true (In my Angie Stone sangin voice) 
 
Love to our . . . . Black Brothas 
Just want to take the time to lift you up to let you know that you are LOVED  
 
To let you know that you are valued and you are significant, no matter how much Society may try to devalue and emasculate you. 
I see the very things that holds you together. 
I see you struggle through the stormy weather. 
I know it ain't always been easy. 
Though I don't know what it is to be a Black Man. 
I want you to know that I do try hard to understand. 
 
I see all the small things that you do. . . . 
Picking the kids up, cooking late night meals, paying the bills, working two jobs so we can have, things we as women take for granted. 
For all those small unnoticed things you do.

      Just a F@ck       Let's just keep this as a *** 
Don't want to get my emotions involved 
I just want some  when I want it 
So let me slide this wet  down on it 
So answer when I call 
I promise it won't take long 
Not trying to take all your time 
Just want a little bump and grind 
 
No need in catchin feelings 
I'm leaving them under lock and key 
No I don't want to cuddle afterwards 
Just wash up, get dressed and walk yoout the door 
See the world has made me like this 
Makes it easy for me to be 
Coldhearted and emotionless 
Not wanting to give my love anymore 
Got my middle finger up screamin "*** LOVE" 
 
So let's just keep this as a *** 
No need for deep conversations 
No back rubs 
No lingering stares 
Can you just pass me my panties 
So I can just get the *** out of here 
And no I don't want no hug

      Bull       I am not open to anymore bull and lies that only leave me teary eyed. That only leave me left picking up pieces that I didn't even break. That only leave heartbreak and distrust at my door step and you had the audacity to not even wipe your feet. My soul needs to be nourished, I will not sit down at the table with you any longer without something to eat, eat with, eat on and a glass to drink, so that I may refresh my soul. I am worth more than your occasional text, late night booty calls or no text or calls at all. Yet you seem muddled at my unwillingness to rush to be in your grace. I will not undress my body nor my soul for half ass-NESS, that are apart of your elaborate excuses, only meant to cause delusions in my mind. I am not open anymore to the pollution you spew that sound like a dream, but not one word do you mean and it leaves me hollow inside. I can not stand by while you womanize before my eyes, while telling me you love me. I am not open to allowing my self to gi...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Open My Soul       If I open my soul 
And poured it all out 
Laid it on a platter for all to see 
Would anyone understand the depths of me 
If peeled back the layers 
Exposed my Truths 
Would anyone know what to do 
If I unveiled my heart 
Displayed all the pieces 
That have been torn apart 
Would anyone care 
To help me mend it back together 
If from the start 
I showed you all my broken parts 
Would anyone take the time to help 
Reconstruct 
What once was 
Our would they look at all the pieces 
Scattered about 
And only see the pieces of me they want to see.

      Untitled       The awkwardness about you 
Is what drew me to you 
Your boyish smile 
Your knowledge of the world 
Your openness to my love 
The way you accept me for who I am 
How I am 
Imperfect 
How I can be naked in-front of you 
With no fear of judgement 
 
It's unexplainable how we connect 
How we fit just right, like puzzled pieces that don't really connect 
Your friendship is refreshing 
Your blunt honesty much needed 
Your zest for life is energizing 
The innocence of you 
Keeps me grounded 
Opposite in more ways than one 
Your different than most 
I have encountered in my lifetime 
 
Keeping me on my toes 
Uplifting my spirit with your random quotes and silly jokes 
Always 
Such a sight for sore eyes 
Loving you is easy because you're Awkwardly Beautiful 
You have made my life Beauteous as you would say 
I fa...  | 
  
  
  
       
      My Words        If I wrote everything thing I thought down 
Social Media would be covered in words of 
Pain and Pleasure 
Love and Hate 
Distrust and Loyalty 
Relationships and Situationships 
Faith and Unbelieving 
Laughter and Tears 
Family and Fami-emies 
Friends and Frien-emies 
Justice and Injustice 
Marriage and Divorce 
Lies and Honesty 
Selfishness and Selflessness 
Blackism and Racism 
Peace and Conflict 
Life and Death 
Words filled with Emotions 
From all the Bull and Joys of what we encounter along our Journey called LIFE. . . 
It would be covered in a canvas of words touching every emotion you have ever felt and maybe some you have yet to experience. Words that may touch some (which I pray do), Words that may offend others (don't give 2 ***s if they do), maybe helpful to some and hurtful to others. 
At the end the day though 
They would be my words, expre...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Acting Like You       The minute I start acting like you 
There seems to be a problem 
You stay with an attitude 
 
When I don't answer your calls 
Ignore your text 
You always accusing me 
Of being with my ex 
 
When were together and my mind 
Isn't all there 
You always accusing me that I don't care 
 
When I'm rarely available to spend time with you 
And do the things you want to do 
You always accusing me of being untrue 
 
When I get dressed up in my ***'em dress 
Step out at night to release some stress 
You always accusing me of being a hoe 
Talkin about I'm giving your goodies away 
 
But little do you know 
What you can't even see 
Take a good look in the mirror 
Is everything you accusing me of 
Are all the things you do to me

      When They See Us       When you see us 
Why do you cross the street 
Why do you clutch your purse to your side 
Why does your heart skip a beat 
When you see us 
Tell me what do you see 
What is it about us the causes you to be so mean 
What make you beat, murder and emasculate our KINGS 
When you see us 
Why does fear take control 
Why is your only solution..... to try and take our souls 
When you see us 
Why is it your quick to dial 911 
Why is it your quick to shoot with your guns 
Why is it you only see a thug 
Why are you constantly killing and imprisoning our sons 
When you see us 
What do you see 
Why do you see danger 
Simply in the color of our skin 
Are you an extension of your ancestors 
Only in a different form 
Are you the new KKK 
In present Amerika 
Boldly you try to destory us
