Fatherless Son

There are times I have felt so alone in this world.
A feeling that's been embedded in me since I was a young, young girl.
Now I gravitate to the brightness in every situation. 
Even now as I have a fatherless newborn son.
I look into his eyes and never want to feel like I failed him. 
Although a relationship with his father is probably very grim.
I will do my best to fill every void in my sons precious childhood. 
do all the things a father should. 
From how to be a gentleman, 
To which sports teams he should be a loyal fan.
Especially how to be a man of his word. 
To draw lines in his life and not allow the lines to get blurred. 
Being accountable for his actions in all that he does. 
Because as a man you'll only be know for what your legacy once was. 
So do right by people and set a high standard for you to live by. 
So one day everyone can say that was one hell of a guy.

Violating Submission

:Listened to your kind words when you called me sweetie and baby,
I thought just for a second that maybe.
You were someone I could respect and trust.
Embrace our feelings and give into this powerful lust.
Only to have you get rough with me.
I had no idea this is how things would turn out to be.
Whats sad is that I was willing there to be with you.
I didn't even have a clue.
How you like to treat respectable ladies,
without any consideration defiantly not with a gentle ease.
smacking me, holding me down, and pulling my hair.
your hand around my throat I anxiously thought about each breath of air.
I remember telling you I was a good girl.
But your actions showed my body you can easily hurl.
Your sexual interest were more than submission and domination.
lack of respect and care for my comfort was the only disturbing translation.
I didn't understand your need for the physical roughness.
Maybe it was your way of proving your masculine toughness.
I don't want to be controlled or thrown around.
Most certainly didn't want to be held down.
You may not understand what you can take away from a woman,
when you conduct yourself as such a thoughtless man.
You rob them from more than their inner security.
taking away some of the innocence and purity.
All because your needs were selfish and destructive.
I understand that's how you choose to live.
But what you need to understand is not everyone gets down like you.
Almost no-one wants a rough violating screw.:

My Childhood You Stole

Seeing you turns me into that helpless child again. 
I truly become certifiably insane.
Unable to even cope,
because I didn't mean as much to you as your dope.
I was an addicted to your drugs before my birth,
From a very young age you taught me my value and worth. 
My childhood you robbed and stole.
trying to release myself from all these demons you inserted into my soul
you programed me to do unthinkable acts.
Im unable to to accept these disgusting facts.
Visions that I carry deep inside my head,
overwhelming thoughts of tremendous up and coming dread.
Constantly doubting my abilities to be maternal.
how dare your ways be pushed on me as I try to deny that this is internal.
I'm still learning how to be a survivor,
from you being my personal sexual slave driver.
I'm not going allow you to mute my voice.
I have god at my side and will praise him and rejoice.
The fact that I am a survivor of the worst kinds of crime.
I realize how high my mountain is that I must climb.
My true inspiration is my innocent children.
Your lack of protection of my innocence will not bring me to sin.
Some days all I can thing of is the horrible abuse,
Not realizing Ive already paid my dues.
Its time to release this unspeakable pain.
Peace love and serenity I will attain.
So don't look at me with pity or sorrow,
God will lift me up and his strength I will continue to borrow.
Until I can tell my story without any shame.
When I can realize I was a child and cannot accept any of this blame.

Men Will Be Men

When your hand reached out for mine I believed in the possibility,
That more could develop into a beautiful compatibility.
Your attentive nature I had missed having that so much it swept me off my feet.
Trying to not allow myself to get swept away ended in blissful defeat.
I willingly allowed myself to care for you.
Push everyone away and to you my only interest was to be true. 
But I need to understand men say things in the heat of the moment.
Grasp the reality of how things really went.
His actions mean more than his word is worth.
So please bring my feet back down to earth.
I dont live in a fairy tale.
My heart is way to frail. 
To attempt this thing called love.
You see I put my love on a pedestal way way above.
My heart loves so deep.
I dont want something fake or cheep.
But Im afraid what I want isnt something that can be obtained.
Most men cant be restrained.
No matter the love and loyalty standing before them.
At the end of the day I have to be reminded men will be men

Grandma

I remember there was no one that could make wrong things right like she could.
It was as if everything that was bad became good.
Just by my grandmothers presence and the solid energy that she possessed. 
With my her at my side I knew I was eternally blessed.
She created such checks and balances in my life.
Shielded me from unneeded judgement and strife.
I always knew I had this extra sense of protection.
No other relationship had an even similar connection.
And then she became very ill.
Everything seemed to quickly go downhill.
I didn't realize what her death would bring.
How deeply my heart and soul would sting.
Never had that same confidence after she was  gone.
I felt like this clueless, hopeless, childlike pawn.
No longer had my strong bullet proof protection.
Always tried to be a reminisce of her reflection.
Now I am a mother like no other.
I protect and guide my children, sometimes even smother.
Only because she showed me the unconditional love as I grew.
Grandma, I knew no matter what I did no matter what I went through.
I always had you.
Now my children know this same unconditional love too.

Myself

The more time I spend alone with myself.
I realize so very much about my identity.
I don't need or want a man to make me feel better about myself.
Being alone isn't as scary as I thought, It actually has delivered serenity.
Ive been so insecure and unable to relate with myself.
Finding this new confidence has shown up in every aspect of my being.
Loving me more than I love anyone else, really loving myself...
Its allowing me to really understand and has me truly seeing.
That I used to put men before myself.
now I'm not allowing anyone to take advantage of me.
This is my new vision for myself.
This new way of living is the only way it can be.
I'm me and finally able to free myself.
From all judgement and self doubt.
I respect love and admire myself.
I really figured me out and what life is all about...

Ignorant Slurs

All of the sudden this lump in my throat begins to swell,
I want to scream cry and yell.
As I hear your ignorant slurs toward people of color.
What makes you so perfect to speak down on an entire race?
Why does it matter the color of skin on my ancestors face?
So many people have fought for equality,
To rid the minds that one specific nationality has more purity.
We are one big melting pot.
Purity in the heart is the only thing that should be sought.
It saddens me to feel the prejudice in your heart.
I wish I could have seen your hatred from the start.

Substance

:A woman that wants substance and trust,
not interested in giving into meaningless lust.
A refreshing twist of fate.
I'm truly interested in getting things straight.
Not wanting a meaningless lay.
Our options and choices we must to chose to weigh.
I say I want substance from the man that I'm dating.
So paying attention to the substance I'm offering and the words that I am saying.
Allowing myself to be vulnerable and let you see my true identity.
That my spirit is filled with a love that surpasses most entities.
I'm absolutely positive that you will see,
My value, my worth, and my endless possibilities.
There is so much more to me than passion and sexuality.
Creating love that I want is my choice for my personal reality.
Sharing what has made us into the people we are today.
Will only ensure to bring us closer in the deepest possible way.
I look forward to allowing you into my heart.
I know this is just the beginning and a beautiful start.:

Why Do You No Longer Believe

Did you just tell me you don't believe in god?
do you really believe church is a facade?
How is it you came to this conclusion?
Is this what you came up with during your sexual confusion?
Help me understand and see!
how this came to be?
How do you no longer believe?
Who will you pray to when you need to grieve?
I'm confused by your new opinions?
Since when do you fall in line with Satan's minions
I'm at a loss for words to add to this page.
How will you judge your actions and to what will you engage?
If you don't believe in god or a higher power,
I pity you now and during your final hour.
For you will not have faith and serenity,
To lead you to his kingdom with god protection for eternity.

Dark Lonely Eyes

I see these dark lonely eyes.
I know everything isn't OK no matter how convincing the lies.
I remember the same empty feeling when I was growing up as a kid.
Trying to express myself or explain how I was really feeling was absolutely forbid.
You see I realize some of our youth have no voice.
No one to hold them accountable or guide them to make the right choice.
So now when I look into a child's eyes and I see the pain,
I cant help myself from reaching out I can barely refrain,
Doing everything in my power to break down that barrier.
Show them happiness is possible and life can be merrier.
parenting and inspiring these children not by obligation,
but by divine intervention.
God knows all I have overcome.
I know exactly where these kids are coming from.
I am the perfect person to reach out to them,
No interest in passing judgment or to condemn.
Praying they can see that life will soon improve,
That no matter how big the obstacle god will move. 
Keep the faith and continue to pray for better days.
I promise your current struggle years from now will seem like it was just a faze.
You may not see it now but I promise you will be amazed.
