A flower can bloom just like your life
You just open up and make the sacrifice
Don't ever feel like you want to quit
Because in life you will start to reminisce
Always be patience let your life start to revolve
Never settle for the unknown alway stay involved
Be quick to listen, not quit to anger
Don't go down that road if you sense the danger
Let your life hover and let it gravitate
Take a step to the ground and start to meditate
Get familiar with yourself and love who you are
Because that blooming flower in your life will take you so far
Be proud of yourself and let your light shine
Remember, the world is yours, but it's only a matter of time
I don’t want to go down that road again
Remembering the whos hows what why and when
Each time it is the same
To go over it is such a drain
Will there ever again be a time
Just to sit and the rest be mine
And what will be the final word
A memory that demands to be heard.

Assassination is not a word.
I will speak out laud or glorify,
but there is the moment the word enters my mind
but I refuse to go down that road,
and in the instance I think of will make matters
worse and we might risk a military uprising.
Should we go to this forbidden place
we too become murderers even if we didn´t pull
the trigger.
This mighty man has done much harm I shudder
to think if he will grace the stage of life,
the implication should a bullet find its goal
and have happy people in the street celebrate
his demise by robbing jewelry shops.

Man, Man, Man,
I want to purr every night,
hum like a bird.
Feel his warm commitment,
a man that loves,
he is not faint hearted.
A man that is brave,
sure of what he started.
Not scared of the future,
committed to stay,
sure of his desire,
unable to sway.
I want him here with me,
I want him today.
I'm in want of a lot now,
easy to disappoint.
I don't really care,
disappointments a good one,
it remembers to say,
"Don't go down that road - it's not the way!"
Disappointment can lead you the best way to go,
get it right next time,
you just never know!
It wasn't till I learned to drive
That I could look forward to going on a family trip in the car.
With the spectre of car sickness always dogging me along the way
Waiting to appear at the most inopportune moments.
I remember once being sick over my brothers new suit before
We were even out the gate.
But as soon as I started driving my stomach underwent
A miraculous transformation.
And is now quite definitely cast in iron.
Even when I clean up other people's sick.
There is one trip I still dread
That no amount of driving will keep me from feeling
Sick in stomach and in mind.
It is a trip I never plan on taking
But somehow find myself on even when I know I will find no pleasure there.
Thankfully I now don't very often go down that road
And now when I do common sense prevails
Leading me back home quick smart.
As going on a guilt trip is just plain selfish,
With an accident waiting around every bend.
And no happy ending in sight.
You were here for me, but then you left.
Took my heart and it was theft.
You promised me that you would love me forever.
I wish I was clever enough to not go down that road, ever.
You were the only one I trusted.
But now I am disgusted.You were my best friend; my only friend.
Pretending like nothing happened. Pretend.
All I need is someone to love me.
Now you are free.
I hope you're loving to your full potential.
Being happy is all that's essential.
I am heartbroken.
Your words will never be outspoken.
I will have to live with the pain.
Then I won't have anyone to blame.
Thank you for teaching me a lesson, I will never forget.
Now I have a better mindset.
One savior down.
A king to end all kings.
He's a healer but he can't fix us all.
So invent a disease.
This king brought to his knees.
He's our savior but he can't save us all.
We're all inherently sick.
We're made to feel worthless.
There's only one neat little trick.
We must open wide and worship.
I won't go down that road.
We're all superior.
Sometimes we get complacent.
Sometimes we feel inferior.
The first born king.
His throne is vacant.
The bells all ring.
We're not going to take it.
He'll step down and come back three days later.
That's what we call a miracle.
It's too bad none of it really happened.
You bet we can make it spherical.
It's true because our book says it's true. It's true because our book says it's true.
It's true because our book says it's true....
Freedom light
Now and Then I wonder about life, and about death.
And then I start to ponder, and then take a deep breath.
I wrap my arms around myself, my head falls to my chest.
I give myself a warm embrace and wish all of us the best.
For life is now, and only now, which is the only way to live.
The sun will shine on you somehow, if you take and if you give.
And when it does you'll know it, the person you become.
And when you do you'll love it, and now it's just begun.
So take it all and use it up, do what you want to do.
Go down that road to fill your cup and you'll discover, too,
that life is free, alive with light, calling out for you.
Your sun and sky, your land and sea, are only for you to move.
Im sitting on my bed
Thinking in my head
That what we had was all A lie
thinking about I gave my all to a player
thinking bout why I didnt see the sign before
You know how bad I want you to hurt like you hurt me
but I will never wish this hurt on noone
because it dont feel good
I guess this is a good bye
and no more coming back
because you'll never change
and it will be no point
because you took my breath away
you took my soul away
you took the little love I had in my heart away
so now Im just a lost soul
looking for a new home
but Im not going to go down that road again
so thanks to you
Im lost and Im not coming back
I flinch on the very
Idea to move
Beyond where you let
Me see through.
I blame being ajar,
A bit stifled too
I take it all out,
Vainly on you.
Truth be told,
I wudnt dare,
Go down that road
The dreaded nightmare.
Anticipation works,
Hope has it's charm.
Held by a strand,
Held, Holding on.
I raise my sword to those who challenge me,
Preparing to defend my moral code
Against anyone who insults my ode,
Indifferent as to who it might be.
I will fight anyone that I can see;
Anyone who wants to go down that road.
I will go from peaceful to fighting mode,
And will willingly bring them to their knees.
I am the Afro Samurai of slam!
Soon, you will understand why I am great.
I am able to slice you like a ham,
Serving you up with your head on a plate.
Even in death, you will know who I am,
Since I was destined to decide your fate.
They say if you post poems,
to put your name below 'em,
for praise or for blame
or just to show 'em...
that you had time to waste
on something so sans taste.
Not all of them are that way,
just this one here, for today.
This is not an Ode,
I didn't go down that road.
I have no story to tell,
I'm just ringing my bell.
But you know, I still had fun,
my thanks to all of you,
keep writing ... gotta run.
I just got out a relationship
I thought was long and everlasting.
I need some time,
can you give it to me?
You say you like me
gon' buy me stuff
and Im claimed by you and can claim you
when Im ready.
Im not ready
Im not ready for anything
love
relationships
anything.
You're sweet, cute, caring
charming and relaxing
but emotional.
I like you
but not enough
to start a new relationship.
Dont get me wrong, you're a good man
but Im just not ready.
give it some time
give me some time, to think things through and over.
I've been hurt
and dont wish to go down that road again.
I thought that last time
and a long relationship
hurt me, crashed me.....badly.
It'll take a while
to get over
So please.....lets be friends...right now
Im not ready...
A voice inside is telling me that i'm ready. Yet a voice inside is telling me that I should wait. It's
getting harder and harder to ignore. Everytime I get close to leaping through that door it shuts.
He's all I want. I want to feel his touch. My body and heart crave him as one. I think i'm love. But
let's not get too carried away here. Lust can be misleading sometimes. So sex will just have to
wait. I need to get my priorities straight first before I even go down that road. Every other girl I
know has done it already or is planning too. There is only a select few that choose to wait and
i'm one of them. That im proud to say. I'm not waiting until marraige but i'm not giving it up fast
either. I have to make sure he's the one before I do something I won't be able to take back and
that's for real.
