I have a dream that one day

I’m gonna say “enough is enough”

Why must he act like he’s so tough

I have a dream

I have a dream that one day

His apologies are gonna come to late

“Sorry tonight I have a date!”

I have a dream

I have a day that one day

I will be appreciated

My kindness taken as love

Instead of

For granted and for weakness

Today I had a dream

I woke up for this dream

Dreaming that one day he will change

Reality knocked at my door

“You know what I’m not settling for him no more!!!!!”

family I don’t need
Lies about blood is thicker than water
please he ain’t no dad and I’m not his daughter

I don’t need family
family I don’t need
My family I can’t count on
No one’s ever their for me
It took my boyfriend to show
That someone does love me

She gobbled ten pounds of ham
Looking in the mirror and noticed she was getting big
Moments went pass and she oink oink like a pig
Hoping she can cancel her date with Sam

Which drove me insane
Excited about giving birth
Yet each minute I’m screaming for the nurse
Finally Malachi’s here
His painful journey taught me to always be aware
Now the hard part is done
Next in line are years to come raising my son

Feet stomping on the pavement

Strong,out of the ordinary , tangy

The smell of old bananas

Showering, wind blowing, cold

A straw being poked in a slushy

smooth, lines different patterns

Gentle, soft  and coarse, strong, brittle

Terror, anxious, suspense

Windshield wipers

Crumbling rocks, pebbles, glass and dirt

Nature, Green vegetables

cold, shocking, slippery

A baby’s bottom, soft cheeks

Screams and a motorcycle rooming

One cup of confidence

Half of a Keyshia Cole album

A large glue stick to patch up that heart of yours…lol

Two shoulders to lean on

One true best friend to help you heal

A lifetime supply of learning from your mistakes

Just listen                                                                                                                         Why must you have so many definitions                                                                     Is it necessary to hurt so bad

Time and time again I’m happy then sad

Why doesn’t he love me back

Can you place yourself in his heart

I need you in my life

Almost anything I will sacrifice

Love, are you listening?

Please wipe your tears, Love has and will forever be here

No matter what ya’ll go through, You love him and he loves you

I’m aware that I am quite a package, Overwhelming you with his baggage

Understand that I’m not lust, recognizing our differences is a must

I am in his heart, when his eyes met yours I suffocated him from the start

Come on now, remember it happened so fast

You are his first and he is your last, Love has and will forever be here!!!!!

Sincerely,

Love

I wonder about my future

I hear my mother’s voice

I see my wedding ring

I want unconditional love

I am humble but hot-tempered

 

I pretend that nothing bother me

I feel heaven is the best place to be

I touch the clouds

I worry that my life can’t get any better

I cry when I think my son’s childhood will be like mine

I am humble but hot-tempered

 

I understand that life isn’t fair

 I  say love cures a shattered heart

 I dream that my child, his dad and I will become one

 I try to focus on me

 I hope someday I can

 release all sadness

I am humble but hot-tempered
