Dear Mama, Dear Papa

Dear Mama, I know now its a bit different Beautiful cards and serenades, for you it was sufficient

I loved seeing your contagious smile

Never imagined your presence was just for a while

Now you're resting and I'm thankful for the early lessons learned

You're my idol, my inspiration and was always my main concern

And your absence aches my chest like a cigarette burn

But you've left me in great hands in return
 

Dear Papa, thank you & I know you don't hear that often

You were given this rare role without caution

And everything you've taught me can never be forgotten

The person I am is because of you

And you hide what you secretly go through 

To give me and my little sister a better view

And that's something I've learned from both of you and look up to

Happy Mothers Day to my both parents 

One taking care of me from above

And another guiding me with love.

Rude Awakening

Its just so crazy how fast time seems to fly by more each day

Wasn't it just yesterday we were playing hopscotch, freezetag even in the pouring rain?

Waiting for the sun to set, our moms to yell out our names for us to come in

Still young enough for no room available to have happiness paused ln anyway

Times where fights were about claiming a crush & not about discovering infidelity & or betrayal

When there was no such thing as "goodbyes" but only "see you laters"

When moments were loved, felt & lived not captured, edited & posted

Came to discover that when people say "family comes first" its not always about blood related relatives

Because even those show you that they dont always love you but much rather hate you

And it stings so bad to find out cruel shit that was sugar coated making you give respect to those who didn't even deserve it

But time & wisdom do their magic dropping off masks on those who are the first ones to judge you

Within the years you start to feel deeper meanings in familiar feelings

You no longer want to just kiss someone but now be with someone

Or maybe no longer want to be with only someone but with everyone

Regardless, you'll do mistakes that will haunt you & test you, only it's up to you to choose to learn or to let it break you

They'll be times when you'll forget how to laugh & become an expert in shaping different identities

But you'll also discover different talents that you swore were not meant for you

Remember life always keeps going, never ending, never waiting for you

Love too much, laugh too much, cry too much, hurt too much & always, always live too much

How Dare I

How dare I caress your face that does not belong to me
How dare I kiss your lips like if they were made just for me 
How dare I hold your hand, the one that explores all of me 
How dare I hold your heart that doesn't belong to me 

I'm an intruder, the other one 
I'm not proud of it and I know I'm in control 
But I can't help knowing that I can still feel that little love that you give to her 
I've put my guard down, my self worth to the side 
Once again I gave you all of me knowing it's just for a while
You'll leave after, like you always do, as soon as your phone starts to ring and I know it's her

Innocently Selfish

My imperfect life is mine 

My purest love is mine 

My soulful touch is mine 

My honest smile is mine 

My deserved attention is mine 

My unwanted mistakes are mine 

My body of maze is mine 

My beating heart is mine 

Everything of me is completely mine 

It belongs to me, I can't share what I'm not done loving yet 

This women isn't afraid of the painful steps she will take, she always finds the way to where she needs to be 

This little girl was born to be undeniably somebody, for surviving the rainstorms that made her appreciate the sun that shines so bright 

She was afraid when She looked at herself in the mirror and saw all the missing love She wasn't giving herself  

She cried and knew how to fix it but always said I can't fix it

Lying to myself is easy, making excuses is even easier, saying I couldn't do it made me feel like I was stupid 

I'm not stupid  

It's amazing how you can make a choice everyday, a change

How beautiful it is to say I can do this and believe in yourself when you thought it was over 

To be persistent and faithful for what's to come your way 

It changes 

The bad times pass, then arrives the blessings 

You look back and say, damn I did this 

I take on every challenge like a hard pill to swallow 

I got you 

From women to women, believe in being innocently selfish 

You deserve it 

I'm excited for my life, it's been a lot of heartache 

I was allowing it to take me to my lowest, Dear me, I'm sorry, it's truly been a roller coaster 

I feel like the ocean now, my waves are getting stronger the more storms I live through, just wait on that tsunami 

It's coming 

Being a river was easier, following the flow was like already knowing the answers 

But I became too much of a women, so I became the ocean, not afraid of the damage 

Be the ocean 

Innocently selfish

He Always Has My Back, He's the Creator of My Life

I didn't know how to say sorry because I've had to always bite my tongue 

Keep my eyes wide open but it feels like I still can't see at all

Staying positive and hopeful is what keeps me going you know 

But then something small happens and it gets me questioning if I'm somehow cursed 

Because the shit I go through is too much to be true 
I do recognize my blessings but at times I question God

These roads get me lost and get a little to rough 

At the end of the day though, he always has my back 

He is after all, the creator of my life 
I use to always tell my friends how bad other people have it 

To wipe their tears away, count their blessings and keep on fighting 

I'm sorry, although that seems like the right thing to do 

You're still like a glass of water, at times you get filled up to the top and feel like you're drowning 

Allow yourself to feel the pain, you're human, it's making you 

Just know he's always at your side

17

I'm a 17 year old who's living with a 25 year old mindset
Thinking to herself, she's got it all figured out, I say my future is set
When in reality, I'm still daddy's girl
With big dreams, I just wanna show the world what my life means
I have more reasons to give up rather then to keep going
Oh no! That's my fear talking,
I need to ignore it
Because I got to show everyone, I'm going for it
So many right & wrongs ones counting on me
Waiting To see me shine or to see me fall
I have to take in mind the one's who've believed in me
I promise I'll never forget about it at all
I got a wake up call, I wish I didn't
Made me realize I'm getting older, no kidding
I have to admit I'm mainly terrified of growing up
Got my childhood yanked, that's why I wish to be forever young
Instead of choosing which outfit to wear
I made decisions on what dinner to cook next
Hey we should go on a date? You decide, we can go anywhere
My Reply? Nah I can't, there's dishes, laundry & family tears I need to wipe away
Lost the person that meant the world & universe to me way too soon
Didn't even bother asking if i was ready to let go of my childhood at 12 too
Went from being the second youngest to the unasked eldest
How much easier it would be to just slit my wrists & go back home
No more fighting, no more crying, no more having to live anymore
But that wasn't what my mom died for nor why my pop chose to work through cold rain storms
I'm a 17 year old who's living with a 25 year old mindset
Came to realizing, I don't got it all figured out & my future isn't set
Just reality, I am in fact still daddy's little girl no matter what age
I got bigger dreams now, I'm just going to show the world what living life really actually means

All Love

I'm laying in bed filled with so much love in my heart. 

No, it isn't a guy, a job, a car, it's simply living life the way I should've had since a long time 

I use to depend on others to show me and tell me how great I am. To define me 

Those people don't even care about me

I was slowly sinking in this negativity some people so easily spread around

The jealousy, the hating, with no objective at all just, wanting to cause harm 

Like why? 

We can swim the same oceans, they were made for us 

We can learn each other's different languages, we were born creators, let there be only love 

We were made to pick each other up, not end the word us, and fight for us

There's enough room for us 

It's very sad to go out and see many people looking at the ground, limiting our view 

While we have this huge sky that's hungry for admiration and...the stars 

Let's not forget the stars 

I'm a star, you're a star, together we make the world shine bright, we give it light when times get dark 

But

Only if all stand as one, us 

With nothing but love

Next time you go out and see someone looking at the ground 

Show them the sky and help them fall in love 

Give them love 

We all need love 

All love

No It Wasn'T

No it wasn't my son who was shot and killed 

No it wasn't my husband who was sent to jail 

No it wasn't my brother, brother from blood 

But that was somebody's world at some point. 
No it wasn't my wife who was murderd with lies

No it wasn't my daughter who's death was covered 

No it wasn't my sister, sister from blood 

But that could've been somebody's mom
I can't go on and pretend that there ain't war in the streets 

That there's something terribly wrong with the way some people think 

There's so many words unspoken 

So many lives just taken 

Still so much injustice 

And hearts still broken 
My mama used to tell me that life was too short 

That whenever something hurt me 

To move on and just let go 
But this time it isn't only about me 

My heart is not the only one that hurts 

People out there think they don't have a choice 

They forget they have a voice
Mothers are losing their daughters

Husbands are losing their wives 

Children are losing their parents 

We can't continue to go round acting like everything is just fine

I'M Sorry

I'm sorry for the times you were confused 

For not having a clue of how to treat this heart of gold 

The times you couldn't understand the language I spoke, its English but for you it was something unknown 

Something you had never heard before 

I'm sorry if you thought I only wanted your charm, your body, and your lips 

You see that's something you were very familiar in giving, you had done it before and even during...us 

You didn't have a clue I needed and wanted your thoughts, your soul, and your love 

I believe you didn't know how to do that, how to open up to another soul

You've been used to close minded women with other open options, easy targets

You didn't have to take your time into unraveling them, nourishing them, into seeing them 

I believe they didn't want to be seen

I loved you, I did. 

I was willing to open up my options and put my thoughts to the side for you 

Into closing my mind that was telling me don't, you're better than this, than him you don't need this 

I loved you. 

I didn't open up my options but I still did close my mind for you

I settled, for less, for whatever this was between me and you 

I love myself. I do 

Thank you

You helped me see myself, something you could've been able to but didn't want to

I'm sorry 

I no longer would say,

It's okay, this is how good it'll get, he'll learn to speak this language of yours 

He'll be able too see you more than you show

Realize he needed you

I'm sorry 

I don't need you 

Thank you

I Can Take One More

Please believe me when I say I still can take on this pain 

That's slowly eating me inside, killing me, making me numb 

I'm not ready to end this road of mine Lord I'm begging you I can't let go 

Please I know you can hear me don't take me away, it's too soon 

I still got children, their hearts will break They need their mother by their side they're too young to go through something like that 

I still have my husband, he doesn't know how to not depend on my love, he won't know how to not be alone 

Please Lord I know you can hear me, I can take one more 

I'm sitting here taking on this chemo

Taking in all these pills with hope that one day it'll end and I'll be cured 

Especially for my little girl, she's eight,  she won't remember me if I were to leave 

I've got seven children, we're very close they've seen me at my worst, they won't understand why it had to end like this 

The gaining and losing weight, how bad my self esteem got the best of me

When my hair was no longer long, my eyebrows no longer visible and getting sick all the time, they're so strong 

Please Lord I know you can hear me, I can take one more 

Can't you hear me? I still got my babies they won't remember me when I'm far gone 

They won't remember my hugs when I pull them close and hold them tight 

My kisses that showed all my love, to actually have someone to call mom

Give me a couple more years 

Let me see them grow old, I can't do this, my babies, they're my world 

Lord I know you can hear me, I can take one more 
As I'm laid to rest I think of my kids, my husband

How devastating this is for them, they prayed to not have to go through this 

To know I won't physically bet there through the good and the bad, it kills me 

But I promise to always guide you guys in your toughest times 

I'll be there when you need me the most even when you swear I'm not there 

Lord I know you did this mainly for them, thank you for ending my suffering and allowing me to protect them in many ways 

I know they feel like I'm not there

But I'll always be by their side until the day we'll reunite, I promise that 

-Mom
