Friends Dont Let Friends Drunk Dial!

Friends don't let friends drunk dial
or drunk text
for some reason when alcohol mixes into the bloodstream
it is like a "hit or miss"
some people get drunk or tipsy and want to fight and talk s%*#!
others have a sip of liquor or beer and everybody they encounter is their best friend
I drink to have fun and KNOW my limits
I can drink grown men under the table, and still maintain common sense
I drink and have fun become the life of the party even!
My only downfall is when i drink i have diarrhea of the mouth!
I will tell u my whole life story and more u cannot get me to shut up
Then i grab my phone and call or text the only person i swore i wouldn't
and in the morning i look at my phone and see that i left a long text that can pass for a
short story
and I hold my head down. reluctantly read what i wrote the night before and then ask my girls
"WHY DID U LET ME DO THIS"
lol! My GUILTY PLEASURE...
I LOVE TO WRITE, SO WHEN I GET A BIT TWISTED I EXPRESS MY FEELINGS WITH SO MUCH DETAILS
HELD , CORRECTLY SPELLED AND NO WORRIES HELD
BUT I EXPOSE MYSELF TO THOSE UNWORTHY AND UNDESERVING
IGNORANT OR OBLIVIOUS TO THE OBVIOUS,
AYUDAME! FOR I NEED HELP
DO NOT LET ME TEXT OR CALL ANYONE WHEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE

Penny For Your Thoughts

A penny for your thoughts
now think before you talk
then tell me how you feel, so true and so real
as emotions continue to build
no longer hiding behind a wall or shield
no reason to oppress or repress
if you'd only let go and express
you'd feel so much more than refreshed
be freed from reality that bleeds and leads to insanity
so candidly let me be there to rid you of all your fears,worries and doubts
for letting go you cannot go without
so let the words run freely from your mouth
for you I will be there,unconditionally
glistening with a sparkle in my eye 
listening with undivided attention
with no tensions mentioned
and when all you have to say is said and done
and your complete trust I have won
My only require is for you to inquire me of all my thoughts
after all a penny's all it'll cost

Catching Feelings

More open than a book My whole wide world has been 
shaken,rolled,flipped and shooked When Why or How 
this happened is beyond my comprehension Im 
discombobulated congested with all types of 
emotions and feelings So soon Too fast we clicked like 
puzzle pieces we fit Chemistry crazy in all ways He 
amazes me Its so sweet but too scary is this too good 
to be true or is it that Im meant to be with you Either 
way Im ready

Cocaine Dreams

gimmie 
a
line
or a bump
that rush
that drip
the feeling you get
when it hits
what an experience

the headache
the next day
once your eyes open and you awake
after a night trying fight
the adrenaline and weep for sleep
it keeps ya up
you become a creature of the night
i get a creative buzz
and begin to write
party animal that cannot be tamed
i feel like a butterfly that just transformed from a caterpillar
and just realized what the - just happen to her
and like the energizer bunny i keep goin and goin
i get diarrhea of the mouth and nothing can stop me from talking
so lovely on this cloud, refusing to come down
newport in my mouth
vodka shot in my hand
nose candy in my front pocket
never wanting the party to end

The Many Shades and Layers of Me

yeiyah

shes the wild child carefree
inhibited, unpredictable
invincible rebel in me
free as a summers breeze
liberated and quick to pop bottles
throw back shots like everyday is a celebration
quick to pop off n throw hands when violated
go hard or go home
ride or die chick
pop off on some "bonnie n clyde", "mickey n mallory" natural born killer ish
cute n small sexy petite mami n all
ready to take on the world and more
heart scorn, vulnerabilities gone and hard core
results of life unforgiving wars
mentality strong
shes unable to be controlled of destroyed
wreck less on the edge of earths surface

yaya

shes fun,cracks jokes, she is the life of the party
she embodies life and cares for those she holds close to her heart
down to ride and fight for anything worth it
gives good advice to others but fails to follow her own guidelines
feisty and sarcastic
more than a friend and puts her own needs and wants aside for those deserving
love her or hate her
guys wanna beat it and girls wanna be her

yessenia

shes the dancer
shes the chick that once her stiletto touches the stage
you cant take ya eyes away
you become hypnotize by the way she moves
shes smooth n sexy effortlessly
gorgeous, shes a the baddest chick in the place
you know that she knows this
just by being in her presence
but shes not conceited
shes different and so unique and articulate
unlike the average chick 

alisha

shes quiet at times and social at other times
multi-talented wise beyond her age
always over analyzing and too giving
wearing her heart on her sleeve she tends to conceal emotions and deep feelings
behind her smile her heart screams

Chaotic Emotions Floatin

Strong vibes and Genuine connection Everything I 
want and more Never thought Id ever again fall but Im 
trippin and stumblin cant control my feet and cant 
control my breathing My racin Butterflies swarming 
in my belly I feel myself melting and the wall 
protecting my heart breaking....What is this and Why 
is this happening ....I wanna go with the flow and let 
things take its course naturally....and just ride with 
the wind caustiously leaving everything to fate and 
destiny Im strong durable and can handle what life 
spins me through but to open my heart in the 
condition that its in with all the scars and withering I 
ask myself if its the thing to do...but Im a rebel 
without cause but within reason and dwells on the 
edge pushing it pass the limit sayin f%$k it throwing 
all caution to the wind....on my mallory knox s$%t 
ridin from beginning to end not giving a f%$k or 
indifferent to negative consequences...Method to my 
madness you might not understand but then again 
you are only on the outside peeking in

Desired By Many

stop traffic and cause accidents
dudes try to holla whether I'm in stilettos or chancletas (flip flops)
fresh to def or on some "sweatpants, du- rag" bumish
I still get the attention
looks,stares and grins
on the bus or subway
even just going to do "compra" (grocery shopping) at the bodega
I get double takes
though I try to avoid the attention
I still get double takes from both men and women

Frienemies

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE
WHO NEEDS ENEMIES
WHEN YOU LET YA GUARDS DOWN
OPEN YA HEART
YOU TAKE THAT RISK OF HAVING IT TORN APART
SHREDDED AND ANNIHILATED
FEELING EXPOSED AND VIOLATED 
BETRAYED
VULNERABLE AND PISSED AT YASELF
FOR ALLOWING A PERSON TO TWIST YOU UP LIKE THIS
YOU LIFT YA HEAD HIGH
CHARGE IT TO THE GAME AND MAKE A SWORN PROMISE
THAT YOU WONT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU AGAIN
BUT IT DOES BECAUSE THATS LIFE
ITS SUCH A DIRTY UNFORGIVING GAME
ITS A JIGSAW PUZZLE WITH A THOUSAND ITTY BITTY PIECES
A RUBICS CUBE OR RIDDLE YOU DONT KNOW THE ANSWER TO
YOU GOTTA GO THROUGH IT AND LOSE A FEW TIMES
BEFORE YOU REALIZE HOW TO WIN AND FUNCTION WITHIN IT

Discombobulated

indecisive 
over analyzing every possible outcome
how come it gets more difficult and complex with every passing minute?
just when I think I’ve figured it out
it gets more twisted and intricate
either way I gotta do what’s best for me
as simple as it may sound
it is far beyond easy
breezy and lifted so wavey
with ideas and plans
when it all boils down to it 
my life is only in my hands….
to be continued (this is not the end, for it is merely the beginning)

Real Talk

what can i possibly say
that hasn't been said before
how many mistakes does it take to open the right door
ask no questions if you're not prepared to hear the answers
people will do what you allow them to
why stress an issue not worth your time
why play games instead of meaning what you say
