Inner Me

Born in sin
Shaped in iniquity
A product of the environment
Of lies and injustice
Who can we run to?
Who can be trusted?
You, me, anyone at all?
To deny oneself happiness due to fear
Fear of the unknown
Even worse,
Fear of the known
Wanting to hope and believe
With nothing to hang onto
What to do is the question
Stay?
Run?
Tell?
Hide?
Uncertainty looms
Hope abounds

Come to mama, man!

It's Poetry

I was once asked, if it was poetry if you talked like this?
Is it poetry cuz you talk like that?
I replied no, fool
It's poetry if it comes from within
You
Its poetry if it can be felt beyond
You
It's poetry if YOU
Feel it
It's poetry if you speak from your heart
It's poetry if it stimulates your soul
Despite anyone else's
See, people get lost in what others do
The thing is to figure out what works for you.

Please Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood

You see
It's not that I don't care for you
It's not that I don't want you around
It's quite the contrary
You see
I have no problem expressing myself
Affectionately or verbally
I have no problem curling up in the crook of your shoulder where it meets your chest
I have no problem with you laying in my bed for days
You see
I love the safety and security of your embrace
I love the smile I bring to your face
You bring the very same broad, full smile to mine
You make my heart flutter
All of that makes my mind cluttered
You see
Based upon my past
I have some unfinished matters of the heart
The walls I have built up are blocking my blessings
I'm aware of the problem
The solution eludes me
You see
When I look at you I don't see them
I see the possibility of hurt
Again
So in my effort to avoid said hurt
I decline invitations of committment
For I believe I am capable but question you
You see
Under any other circumstances
I would leap tall buildings in a single bound
I would climb the highest mountain
To be your one and only
But
Please don't let me be misunderstood
It's definitely me
Not you.

Or So We Thought

I think of you often when you could care less to think of me.
I gave you my inner me yet it seemed high in inadequacies
Or so you thought
You didn't have to 'ax' for nuffin like R.Kelly
It was all handed to you
Better than silver, platinum platter status
I was the one who wanted no titles
And you were down
Or so I thought
But actually I knew
I saw the lifestyles when we used trojabs
I saw the feminine gear that didn't resemble anything I would wear
But I didn't trip
Slip
Flip
Or dip
I stayed aboard that ship that had me dickwhipped
Left in a daze by that bomb ass head you gave
Or so YOU thought
Don't forget who was callin whose name, boo
You know yo ass was pussywhipped too
Beggin for that tongue trick I like to do
Titillating your tip as you tantalized my tits
And without disappointment
Or so I thought
Something or someone took you away from me
Unexplainably
Or rather you just refused to explain it to me
Which left me no choice but to detach
Or so I thought
Cuz I still think of you often when you could care less to think of me.

Remembering (Haiku)

Special days and nights
Make my heart beat rapidly
Recalling true love
