Mara Prose Poem
I see a man who is misunderstood
I see a man who is assumed to be up to no good
I see a man who has a good heart
I see a man whose heart is regularly ripped apart
I see a man that wants to be loved
I see a man that focuses on heaven above
I see a man whose skin color is assumed to be a threat
I see a man whose own family he may one day come to regret
I see a man who shines bright as a star
I see a man whose life will be way above par
I see a man whose mother is the love of his life
I see a man who one day will find someone like his mother in a wife
Who is this man I see?
It is my son, my life, an extraordinary part of me.
Dedicated with all my love to my son Xavier Floyd who will one day become the man of someone's dreams. Thank you for being your mother, Mara Prose's, biggest fan.

Mara Prose Poem
You could never understand me. That's why you could never have me. Your mind is on the superficial, my love's is on the official. Flattery only gets you so far but at the end of the day, I don't have to sit around wishing on stars. My life is like a fantasy, something you could never provide for me. I sent you on your way long ago but for some reason you held out hope. I'm here to tell you now that I plan to spend my life with the man that made me his wife. Ce la vie!

Mara Prose Poem
Trying to numb this pain to keep from going insane
Trying to rebuild my life without the strife
Trying to lose myself in a haze while praying for lesser long days
Want to feel like myself again and watch the stars roll by again
Want to feel peace deep within me, want the suffering to just let me be
Can't I feel the sun again, have fun again, be one again?
I need a break before I break because I've had about all I can take
Can't let you see the cracks since very few actually have my back
Can't let myself be torn down, can't let you see me frown, I'm not your clown
I'm working hard to elevate, not sedate and just relate
Trying my best to forget but not regret and remain set
Give me space, let me breathe please
Eventually you will be relieved for this too shall pass...

Mara Prose Poem
Daddy you are on my mind
Daddy you were one of a kind
You made me who I am today
You said for me to always pray
I miss your stories and our long chats
I miss the way you made me laugh
I feel like I am walking in a dream
But I know you wouldn't want me to be that extreme
Oh Daddy, I wish that you were still here
We had so many plans for next year
All I can do now is carry on your legacy
And rest in the knowledge that you are at peace
I am grateful I have another angel up there on my side
I know all this pain will eventually subside
And one day soon, I will be right next to you
Walking through paradise just like we always knew
I love you dear Daddy, may God rest your soul
I will see you in my dreams and until then I will uphold

Mara Prose Poem
You smile, you grin and no one sees your sins
You laugh, you play with no one there at the end of the day
The masks we wear are uniquely prepared
To keep the world guessing and hide our despair
Black, white and all alike experience life's crushing blows
Young and old, we are all the same because we all fear the untold
At the end of the day, no one can say that we are not all equally equipped to live bold

Mara Prose Poem
He tried to smother her spirit, because he was afraid her voice would carry
He wanted to own her, so he asked her to marry
He thought I'll manipulate her, convince her my way is the only way
And assert his mental control
And in her love, she followed, losing her mind and soul
His love was a projection, an expectation, that only went in one direction
She was rewarded if she complied but made to feel guilty if she denied
It wasn't all bitter, there were certainly plenty of happy times
But her voice longed to carry, leading to their demise
He set out to crush her ego, to leave her nowhere to go
For many years, she laid dormant, conforming to his dreams
And for many years, her spirit continually screamed
It wanted to be released, respected, and to see a renewal of self esteem
There were many a day that were draining, in training for his ideals
His life was her life, his wants her wants, his direction, her direction
But her voice wanted to carry, but it wanted to carry without correction
Yet this did not fit the mold
So she began to feel hollow, to wallow and eventually unfold
For the future, for the past, they tried to make it last
But alas,
His tunnel vision, lead to her decision, to open the door to freedom
The freedom to be whole, to bring back the freedom he stole
She was viewed as a destroyer; spoiled and ungrateful
He resented her resistance, he resented her voice and its reappearance
It was a threat and made him feel disdainful
Life with him was one big ultimatum, but she finally refused to take them
She began to make new demands, commands and walk across new lands
Insecurity became the measure that obliterated their treasure
She discovered the life he had planned, was of one from which she ran
Because as a young girl, her mother had made similar demands
If his love had been unconditional, then their love would have been positioned
For longevity, for perseverance, and would still be in existence
But her voice longed to carry

Mara Prose Poem
Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Can't take another step without trust
Won't accept sugar without substance
Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Guide the wind, smooth the storms
Make each day glorious
Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Promise to be there, stay true
Embrace me, keep the dust away
Catch me, mend me, break my fall
Make me yours
I don't want to be one of the fallen

Mara Prose Poem
I'm lost without an anchor
I'm alone in a deep blue sea
I'm surrounded by beauty
But I just cannot see
My world is very turbulent
Full of blessings, lessons and to be's
I strive for equilibrium
I strive to be free
There's a new me in the making
It's extraordinary to be taking
New journeys, new paths, new places far from my past
I'm excited, I'm afraid, I'm curious and I'm shaken
But I know what is promised
is just too good to let pass

Mara Prose Poem
Wanting something new but stuck with the old
Desiring that warm, fuzzy feeling but stuck in the cold
Do I stay or do I leave?
What about all the memories?
Wish I could go back to better times
When I was yours and you were mine
The emptiness is stifling, the entire situation has become trifling
I yearn for love's burn
I crave to be saved
I worry that I've stopped crying
I worry that I've stopped trying
My indifference is an interference
He's elusive while I'm awake
How much more can I take?
The look in my eyes says it all
I'll just let the pieces fall

Mara Prose Poem
You’ve peaked my interest, that is plain to see
At a time of independence, at a time for just me
I’m trying not to think about you but I simply
can’t resist it
Go away I say but no come back
Hmmm., do I see where it leads and cut you
some slack?
Can’t say I am ready for all that
There’s still too much to do
But you have caught my eye
But I can’t make you my boo
The timing is all wrong but you sing a pretty song
It’s tempting me to test those waters
It’s tempting me to take it farther
Go away I say but no come back
Can’t we just stay friends or will
we get off track?
So go away I say but no please come back
Don’t stray too far but don’t push too hard
For now, just be patient and let me just admire
from afar
