Poem Title:
Poem
I guess she wanted to fight, The first encounter started off with a "Hi"My name is Revue, born and raised in the Lou What's your name?And from whereabouts in the US are you? She stared me up and down before she said, :I'm Jade from Phoenix I rep the land of the Grand Canyon and where the "Air is on ya, I mean it" Alright, pleased to meet you. (I'm being cordial) By the way, I like your shoes. She said you can't afford them (Um Okay?) I left confused. See you later, I'm sensing trouble abrew. By then I was cluelessSomething pissed her off, there was no way I knew this She was something of a Bigger Thomas, Honest. She tried to go there so she made a bigger fuss, and she pulled back her hair when confronted, she start to cuss, plus. I dropped the logic on ol' girl Ten dollar convo turned to a hundred destroyed her world. She got buck wild and fronted on me I called her bluff and asked her What was her problem with me. Conveniently no other words to be said I never did anything to her She decided I was competition intended to outdo her. My badI was just doing me again. As odd as it seemed, my worries weren't of her, nor have they ever been. Every time I saw her, she was sour I'm smiling, minding my own Enjoying my life by the hour. And that's when it got hot. Every time I saw her, insults at me she shot. By then I stayed quick witted She couldn't hold her own so her friends got all up in it I started to have fun with them all Tying them up in knots Getting high off their mental downfall Now, I'm not trying to be self righteous In spots like this some people have no idea how to handle politeness I feel they lacking basic social skills In situations like this they get nervous so they fall back on "keeping it real" But in the end some end up feeling silly I'm just saying hi, ain't no need to be acting chilly Do I classify myself as hard? not hardly I'm a combo between Nina Simone and Rita Marley I'm saying Just put the guard down for a minute Stop mean muggin' and smile stay for a while, just for a brief visit We might learn from each other, I understand I don't know you, nor am I looking for a sister or brother And I don't expect to find one in you I've made folks drop the front, extinguished hate up in the venue. And that's the main issue I feel we struggle with using passive aggressive,hate followed by no debate to successfully solve a problem is a myth. And yet some of us are more direct with it I prefer the latter, I rather have someone tell me why they were livid. So how you livin?
