Black is not evil, It's a Style so grand
A beauty that's been hidden from our sight
No longer to hid our precious hand
and question Who we are in day And night
For black is not a curse
Nor source of shame
It's a color that should be worn with pride
Identity once captive
Now breaks free
A powerful voice for justice, unity
Not just for black history month limited decree
But For all humanity eternally
Together, let our voices fiercly ring,
With unyielding strength
Let our Athem sing
For black Is beautiful A Force So Strong
In unity we rise to right the wrong

your life wasn't easy
I was nine that morning
your battered face
you said you ran into
a clothesline pole
but it was a tank
the same one I ran into
when you took us away
I should have been
angry at him, not you
you gave your children a life
sacrificed everything
yet I never
not even now
fully realized
what a strong, courageous
and loving woman
my mom....
I'm trying
I hold onto the memory
of that time a bad call
at the very last second
cost me
a fiercly contested
wrestling match
you knew
it was more
than that disappointment
grinding me down
sitting there on my bed
despondent
on the cliff's edge
staring down into a sea of
disillusionment
you came
sat beside me
and told me you understood
how discouraged I was
but that when you watched me
you saw a man fighting a battle
and it made you proud
and it made me cry
god it made me cry

turkeys thoughts about the 25th leary
hurry to the corner
huddle close togther
with minds togther
jerking their brains fiercly
thinking about the fruit and berries
pupils thats already seen the axe
bloodshead
from their closest turkey relitives
and again with brains jerked around to the max
you can hear the cry's of clucking
I think I hear
faint
next year or somthing

She is a beauty,
She is a dream,
All who know her are privileged to rub shoulders with her,
Some are flooded with dreams of spending just a fraction of a second with her,
Basking under the ambiance of her presence.
She is a force to be reckoned with
A bag of the rarest dynamite.
From the curves and corners of her body
To the lusciousness of her features
She is captivating
A creature created like no other.
Those that try to understand her
Are driven to a further state of confusion,
Her beauty screams out loud,
But yet again it is subtle.
She oozes flamboyance
Every detail meticulously placed;
She is imperfect in the most perfect way,
Fiercely sexy, and incredibly cute at the same time..
SHE IS...

Your feet and hands are bound
Your mouth is gagged with tape
Your body is tied to a tree with rope
It is the dark of night where evil people stand
The fire burns fiercly in front of you
Your voice is stolen by death threats
Your mind gives up hope when rescue doesn’t arrive
Then, you survive childhood with a promise and poetry
A belief that when you are older, something will be done
Then, it comes that time and the same people are furious
Treacherous memories are relived in the daylight
While nightmares haunt you during sleep
Crippled with emotional pain, barely able to stand
But, your voice is back, your mind starts healing
Your writing continues and you are blessed with strength
The world is ready to know

Along the path I walk,
With a mighty iron will,
Hoping amongst all hope,
To find a golden daffodil.
Although it may be early,
I fiercly hope and pray,
That little flower I love so much,
Will appear today!

Forgotten thoughts resurface like the dim light of the stars
seeping from the wounds that sit on shelves in broken jars
never to be mended in the tattered threads I've weaved
knotted in the fabric of the falsehoods I believed
to bind me in the cobalt tide that no one vessel keeps
what seems are dreams for some of you are nightmares while I sleep.
Proudly they parade in gaudy colors crimson laced
radiating fiercly from the fears I haven't faced
crashing as the seas of sorrow wash the taste of pain
out of my mouth as I turn south where nothing left remains
but scattered, dusty memories and used up yesterdays
and scars that last from days gone past in hues of blacks and greys.

I go my path wondering where are you your not one that came and flew but the one who does stick things through, What I need is for you to follow the three C's it's the way for our love to never freeze Communication, Commitment and Compromise are the ultimate keys, Of these things you need not be told you will be the one to have to hold for me to warm in the coldest of cold, Passion and Affection these things a must as being one who's fair far from unjust for you will be one who has my fullest trust, What I offer in return is something which will never be a concern an everlasting love that will so fiercly burn, I am one that lives by honor and smiles been going forth with this for many miles being one of such unique styles, I live a life that is so real the love I offer such a deal for it's free you need not steal, I go forth doing what is so right every single day and night for I follow a path that shines so bright, This is me on steady not a phase I care not for such materialistic ways will you be the one who's with me all these wonderful days

Watch as your wishing star flys through the sky,
The way that your faith has been burned up so dry.
Watch as this barbed wire coils your soul,
The way that we love until we're burned in coals.
Watch as the dragon so fiercly stands tall,
The way that you know your opinions wont fall.
Watch as our beautiful family is built,
The way that we know that our roses won't wilt.
Watch as the wings mounted upon your back,
The way that a brilliance you never will lack.

As I fly away through broken dreams
The reins pull fiercly at my grip
For everything is not what it seems
As these words pass by mothers lip
She gives me all her words of wise
promises me them I must use
As my journey takes me to the skies
All I have learnt I must now disuse
For all those broken dreams
Were only waiting to be chased
I open my mind to my supreme
Life must not be lived in haste

Tornado alley is a place to visit if you must
go there with conscious caution
look out for nails of rust
The alley's fraught with winds that fiercly circle with no warning
Look left and right. Look out, that's right!
Who know's what'll be left in the morning
This place is quite forboding
Mother nature does her scorning
It's quite clear to me; staying clear is the key to surviving when it is pouring!

The rain falls fiercly,
As I look up into the skies,
Only to see the sun,
And white clouds floating by.
I walk into the woods,
Feeling sharp thorns beneath my feet,
I stare down to the earth,
To see grasses, soft and sweet.
At last I see a rose,
Lying dried up on the ground,
I gently touch it's petals,
And my life is newly found.
All along ive been yelling,
At the wind for being cold,
And shouting at the rain,
When life's story has been told.
I ignored the graceful beauty,
As i blocked out meaningful sights,
For when it's gone I will regreat,
Shunning the flawless story of life.

today is the day
valentines day
that day
where you are supposed
to express your love for that special person
as if you need this day as a reason
to show the world the love you share
to tell him how much he means to you
isnt that person the reason?
isnt he enough reason?
he is my reason
he is the reason for so much
hes the reason i wake up in the morning
the reason i go to school
the reason why i dont fall asleep fourth period
the reason for the doodles on my notes
the reason i cleared a space in my heart
the reason my sun shines
and my smileing is constant
the reason my heart skips beats
and my lips desire his
he is my reason
the reason for this crazy
unbelieveably strong
uncontrolable, lawless, unrestrained
abiding, changeless, imperishable
love
boiling madly, pasionatly, fiercly, rapidly and forever
in my chest
makeing every other mandatory action of life
astonishly harder to focus on but beyond belief easier to execute
and before i know it
this astounding paralyzing amazing love
is every reason i have
or need

Brave,
Cowardly,
Strong,
Weak,
Battleing within,
A touturous feat.
Intuition working fiercly,
Don't try and coerce me!
Questioning, wondering, double checking.
Pushing, wanting, struggling.
Who knew what monsters lay within.
Daytime fighting,
Nightime pondering.
Overanxious feelings?
Obnoxious dealings!
Little men atop each shoulder.
Arguing,
Pursuing.
Good: Evil.
Hero: Villian.
Day: Night.
White: Black.
Day: Night.
Dark fight;
Brigth light.
A beakon of hope coming nearer
Falling, falling, screaming, yelling.
Scared of never knowing,
Frienship still growing.
Promises broken,
To a heart left open.

I feel him now,he's so close to me...
The pressures building,My bloods rising,
boiling through my body.
He's right outside,his need is burning me...
The heat floods me,Flowing through my every part,
Preparing me for his touch.
His hand strokes my hair,my body becomes alive...
I want this connection,This passionate yearning,
The pleasure pain of our joining.
He slides his teeth over my skin,searching for the spot...
Fiercly biting into my thigh,I begin to float away,
sinking in a sea of pain that my body always craves.
