Dear Ma,

You never had enough,

And taught us that life is tough,

But always tried to give us as much as you could one way or the other.

Your struggle is something i will always remember

Now I am miles away,

Just calling to say hey

Dont worry bout me

You taught me everything that was needed to be

I once told someone,

That you live in shades of black and white,

So old you couldnt see at night

You live to make sure we are alright

Always kept me in your sight

And now you can sleep through the night

I swear I would do anything for you,

If you asked me to,

And although I come across as heartless and that I only care about myself,

I love you more than the rest because you're the best,

In this world full of lies your love is the only thing that's real

Sorry it took so long to realize

I promised her I will make it in life

Because its only right

When times are rough that i will fight

Anything else is failure

Words cannot describe everything I feel about you,

But my life is empty without someone like you

So caring yet so annoying,

And I guess this is true love,

Forever secretly emotional and unconditional,

Loving someone without expecting something in return.

Ma life lessons learned

I met this man who said

"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow a mystery,

But today is Gift. That's why we call it the present."

So are you ready for the world

Are you ready to chase your dream

That you had when you was a little boy or girl?

Are you ready for a world never before seen,

Are you ready to take the stage,

Are you ready to blow the audience a way?

Cause in this world you can go up or down

You can be the king or queen only if

You decide to wear the crown

We never will know what Tomorrow hold

But tomorrow is our goal and if you don't

Want to be left behind then

Get Ready, Get set ,and go

Cause the wind will never stop for it will always blow

We think...

Has anything's changed since the Civil Rights movement

Where niggers like me

Fought for equal rights

Struggled for independence

Its horrendous

The amount of hatred, racial comments , and stereotypes I receive

I just try to be the best person i can

Racism will never be dead

And I know its hard to believe

Because you're not me

You're probably someone better

Because if you're white your superior over me

Yall think...

That the history books and Declaration of Independence

Which I say everyday

The National Anthem

Were all just scribbled down lies

Written by the winners

Who don't care

For those who can relate

I don't mean to be so negative

I'm sorry

But I've reached the point where i cant stay quite

I took the time to look over my statistics

I just wish my friends wouldn't look at me like I'm some self righteous or know it all

I just wish that strangers I don't even know

Didn't treat me like I'm some gangster or trash

Like a typical black male or as a convict

I wish my teachers wouldn't look at me like I'm some lazy idiotic

Or a troubled kid

Thinking that my life is violent

Waiting to explode into a flurry if punches if someone offends me

I guess some things will never change

Im easy to describe

Yet so hard to define

Im easy to understand

But impossible to control

You even respect me when im weak

So many people are look for me

I have many enemies

Many people cant live without me

When am around people are happy

When my enemies are around your sad

The system wanna control me but they fail every time

Trynna blame me for a crime

I rule the world without saying a word

You know of me but you don't know me

Many respect me but never seen my face

Menace to society yet im born of royalty

Born sinner yet my God is my Savior

Smart kid yet i make sure its hid

Dear school,

I'm sorry I don't get my work done on time,

But I dont have the strength when the depression just pulls me back to my bed.

Dear parents,

I'm sorry I'm not a good role model for my siblings,

But life has been rough for a while now and being strong for them is hard.

Dear bae,

I'm sorry I can't keep you happy and myself happy,

But I'm trying love, despite the fact that I'm not happy with life anymore.

Dear siblings,

I'm sorry you have to hear me cry myself to sleep at night from down the hall,

But it's at night that the demons come to play with how I feel about myself and I just can't help but listen.

Dear friends,

I'm sorry I don't hang out anymore, or text you guys,

But I stay up late at night and I need to sleep to look like I'm not falling apart in front of you guys.

Dear society,

I'm sorry I'm not what you would consider normal,

But your idea of normal is everything I just can't be no matter how hard I try.

Dear self,

You hurt people and always come up with excuses as to why...

You are your depression

You are your anxiety

You are your scars

You are your fear

You are your insomnia and your sleepless nights.

You are... You

How sweet is your greed

Ignore the dripping arrogance

Ignorance is his sanctuary

As is for most

The great wall of Trump

A genius meant for great things

Who needs actual plans

Especially with a voice that loud

He is the image of "America"

Let him rule over all

He's the candidate for me

Dear President Trump

I'm moving out of this country

Societies definition of beauty

They defined beauty as being yellow

They defined beauty as being skinny /slim

They defined beauty as having a weave on

They defined beauty as wearing expensive clothes

What manner of society is this

Are they even sure that this is beauty

We have our soul sisters with black skins

Big boned sisters

Coarse hair sisters

Sisters wearing African clothes

Are they not beautiful?

But hold up let me tell you what beauty is

Beauty is an imperfect soul striving for perfection

Beauty is the love from within

Beauty is the one who carried extra weight in her stomach for nine months

Beauty is the one who wakes up every cold and hot morning goes to work just to feed her family

Beauty is always defined in beings but is truly not in beings only

But can also be found in beings doings

I saw beauty from her mothers hardships and her fathers sufferings

Striving for her education

Beauty is the brain that has knowledge so to make her beautiful they never bought her make up,weave nor expensive clothes

But they bought her books

Look, how do you not see it

Their pain and suffering while we're living like kings and queens

Their life is the opposite

They are miserable and unclean, while we complain yet we are clean

Im tired of sitting around, it time that we do something

It's time to stop thinking of ourselves

Wake up open your eyes and see their suffering

Can you care to help someone besides yourself

This is our calling

Open your eyes, look around, do you see it now

Get up, and go, help those who need it

I vow yo help those in need out

We're so caught up with ourselves to help others admit it

I'm done acting blind to my brothers it's time to take a stand

Are you with me,

We will deal with this together hand and hand

Lets end the need

It like final destination

With zero communication

We used to be so close

I remember when i almost overdose

With you peace is what i found

Now i lay here on the ground

Thinking about life

And had i almost took it with a knife

I tried to live obvious lies

But you seen right through my disguise

You chest where i used to lay my head

Soaking wet from the many tears I have shed

Now your gone

And i feel so alone

I pray to God everyday

That you will come home someday
