Rah Times

I knew you as a kind woman. And I saw that you were hurting There wasn't much I could do? I was a broken human like you. I wish to make life right again. I'll fix all that's crumbling. I won't make any excuses. Nor will I simply shift the blame. I'll take you by the hand. I'll love and support all that you do. Though I didn't always understand. I don't want you to shed a tear again. There's nothing that I wouldn't do. I regret all you've been though. I'd make rocky paths smooth. I'd quiet any storms for you. In our moment, I'll do. That's my promise to you.

I belong to no one. I’ve been burnt by everyone. I walked alone. And I was not afraid. So, please don’t judge me. We all got our stories. I grew up battling worries. At times my hopes got blurry. I waited on Jesus. But got betrayed by Judas. He’s not fictitious. He has many names. But thanks to that bastard. I’ve got higher standard. I'm letting bygones be gone. I won't be conned. I’m a new woman. with each passing day I became strong.   Buy my poems and lyrics here  

Was a slave allowed to nurse her child? Was her child taught or seen as every young boy? Was he secure, nurtured, allowed child- mother moments? Wasn't he simply ridiculed, branded, seen as property, not as a member of a human family. Wasn't he shackled, judged, mistreated by those who named him? That period has ended, the trickle down effects, The master's mind set remains, the slaves descendants are still misjudged. Their cries ignored, lives still abruptly ends. Some for her children lives in mayhem, the cycle continues. I wonder how she felt then? If she would see our time as different? Buy a copy of the cry of our children here

I hardly ever see you. And you scarcely ever call I listened the few times when you did. Then I believed you as if I were a kid. You said I was the wheel that makes your motor turn. You'd always show me love and concern. You placed me in the shadows to learn. But I've decided it's my turn. I'll turn the wheel for myself. I was hurt, when you weren't there for me. Believe you'd be here if I needed help. So now your promises seem untrue. I had to handle whatever life threw. I decided that we're done. Love was not our foundation I got used to being on my own. I've been fighting all my battles alone.

I may not know you as you are. My impression of you are of fleeting moments. I may be disappointed if we met again, but for now I have these memories. I recall your charm. I reflect on your smile. How secure you made me feel. If life battered you And left you scared. Stay sweet and polite. I chose to post my thoughts Because I hope one day You will discover them. 'till we meet again, Thanks my friend. My first impression of you got me through rough times. Stay pleasant, kindness is important. My Sound Cloud Link

When boys are seven they pinch and punch women. When they are grown, they hugs them. No one wants to be in love with a razor. All wants a man with controlled behavior. If we expect bad behavior from men. That's what they'll give in return. If we hold them to higher standards. They'll act accordingly. My sound cloud link Buy my book of poems here

How would you know to miss me? You acted as if you never knew me. Loving you was my greatest regret; I don’t know how I got caught in your net.   I’ve asked myself a million times, And every time the answer was the same; You would never be my refuge, Relying on you was like depending on Ebenezer Scrooge. My heart was enslaved by your words. But sweet words were all you ever gave. I won’t bother repeating them, Their value is not like that of a gem. My hurt and my pains are now gone, And I can now walk away and move on. That’s why I’m no longer complaining; Each day, my thoughts of you are waning.     buy my ebook of poems and lyrics here
