Let Me Deserve It
You say that everything somehow come down to me,
that I’m reason for you wrongs, whatever they might be.
If, somehow, I disappeared then things would be all right,
I’ve been here from the start, won’t leave without a fight.
You’re speaking, and freaking,
a tantrum, so damn glum,
you think you’re explaining,
instead it’s just blaming.
Tell me how did we get

never lose your pride
everyone sometime in their life
may need a helping hand
if you fall from carrying a load
someone to help them stand
no matter if your a boy or a girl
or if your big or small,
never be too big then you are
to ask for help at all,
if you feel down and feel real sad
no matter what it

O deserve thy desires first
Pining for long, O longing heart,
If smacked art thou by a beauty,
If rocked by her assets thou art,
Should any charming face sway thee,
Earn first good deeds her to deserve,
Desires on their own seldom serve.

What I deserve
I think it’s best that you just go away
I’ll take peace over you on any day
I am growing in ways I never thought I’d see
Being away from you is helping me grow into the woman I want to be
I am loving the freedom and peace I have in my life
Everything just feels so right
I’m

Does he like black girls?
Does he like black girls
Or does he like the idea of the swirl
Does he like black girls
Or does he only like type two and three curls
Does he like black girls
Or does he want bragging rights
Does he like black girls
Or does he just want a turn
Does he like black girls
Or does he want

The relationships I deserve
Inspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home.
The relationships I

We Dont Deserve
We Don’t Deserve
I read the stories
see blood in the margins,
names etched in shame.
Man’s hand, steady with the knife,
shaking only when called to kindness.
History isn't history.
It's breath on the mirror.
It fogs up, then clears,
only to show us
the same haunted face.
We burn what we didn’t build.
Crush lives under flags
we barely understand.
Skin becomes a reason.
Love becomes a crime.
And

You Deserve Better
You Deserve Better
You deserve a better man.
Leave soon as you can.
Leave it all behind.
A newlife when you can shine.
You went down a dark road.
You don’t owe him anything any more.
You have been used long enough.
Move on and be tough.
Your body doesn’t belong to him.
Stand above

The many suicides of black men
The many suicides of black men
Black men deserve love too
Even if its just a simple 'I love you'
The world tells them they have to be tough
But enough is enough
If you're complicit
In being a witness
Of their mental health issues
Don't be confused
If they choose suicide
Don't be surprised
I mean you didn't care when they were

Black boys deserve flowers too
Black boys deserve flowers too
Black boys deserve flowers too
Not just at their funerals
Not when they're already gone
Not when we are just mourning them
Black boys deserve flowers too
Not just laid at their tombstone
Not just because you feel guilty
Not just because you couldn't love them fully
Black boys deserve flowers too
This is long overdue
They deserve

You deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart
You deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart,
where words flow freely like a mountain river, carrying truth and simplicity within them,
without needing to bend your soul into unfamiliar shapes just to protect egos,
and your inner peace to be an inviolable sanctuary, a place where your true self

My love, whom I do not deserve, how dare you steal my heart and call it yours
My love, whom I do not deserve, how dare you steal my heart and call it yours?
We are two solitary travelers, yet you have turned my soul into a warm and welcoming home.
I cherished my regrets, but you replaced them with memories that light the path to dreams.
I told you not to bring happiness into

I Don't Deserve You
you're so majestic, i don't deserve you
you're so grand, i don't deserve you
your heart is nothing but pure
and i fear my gray one will infect yours too
my love can cross borders but yours can cross universes
i hope the sun smiles at the brightest for you
you're kind, i don't deserve you
you're the muse i don't want

I Don’t Deserve You, and You Don’t Deserve Me
{"To the ones who want to love me first, I don’t deserve you, and you don’t deserve me. It is vivid, enduring to every human, alluring at any foul play you want to scream what is right and wrong, indicators stretch high that soar up to the sky you relinquish your despondency of rambling obscenities
