Momma said
Go ahead
Be misled
By jughead
That egghead.
So I did
Keeping Kidd,
Getting rid
Of bad id
Was redid.

“THE BOX”
By:KIDD
(For all the men who’s too scared to tell)
The lies i say
I put it all on a box
Wherever i stay
They won’t act like i lack
I am not me outside
But feel free when alone
It shows up what i hide
When i take off a mask that is on
I wish i could tell
And still be the same
My life’s like a carousel
Nothing more but a game
They won’t know that I’m gay
Cos they will leave me i swear
That’s why the lies that i say
Is the mask that i wear
It’s much safer this way
For no one will get hurt
God must’ve built me on a clay
With a special kind of dirt
Still i see myself unique
In my very own special way
I’ll be kind, warm and sweet
Won’t be wrong that I’m gay
still I’m careful for what i say
Cos i still hide like a fox
I could just lie to them everyday
And just put it all in a box

A frightened boy, I felt an ache inside
for not liking girls as other boys did.
And I still remember the nights I cried;
for feeling feelings, that the Lord forbid.
Consumed by a relentless ache, I hid
my feelings, for they left me petrified.
And I wasn't brave like a normal kid;
a frightened boy, I felt an ache inside.
Fate had stripped my fragile ego of pride:
my inner self was kept under a lid.
And I felt ostracized and pushed aside,
for not liking girls as other boys did.
I gravely feared disobeying God's bid
and often ran into the woods to hide.
But facing a slippery slope, I slid,
and I still remember the nights I cried.
I'd contemplate committing suicide
when I was alone, somewhere off the grid.
And within my soul, this ache amplified;
feeling the feelings, that the Lord forbid.
I dreamt of privateers like Captain Kidd:
yet, in sports, no team picked me for their side;
I felt the world hated me as a kid.
And when no one cared if I lived or died,
I felt an ache inside.
Let's play leapfrog with the unicorn
Careful children watch out for the horn
Let's tippy toe in the meadow with an elephant
Could a happier afternoon ever be spent
Let's swim with the goldfish in her bowl
Hunting for the treasure chest Captain Kidd stole
Let's fly with the robbins the first of spring
We can learn to chirp and flap our wings
Let's glow with the glow worms at night
Laughing and chasing whoever lights
Let's play as children silly and fun
Using our imaginations as bright as the sun
Let's stand on rainbows and wave as bluebirds fly
Where wishes and dreams are woven into a lullaby
Let's dream with a sprinkle of Sandman's dust
Where home is being with those who love us
tell me tell me how am i to be something more; tell me?!
let me not just have pain and no gratitude; let me be something he'd want to see please?!
how can i be something that i hardly know, and then only allowed to be half of it how please?!
i hope he'll understand that he is my flesh that's why chose this path.
how will i be able to show compassion without bleed tears.
tell me will he know it's name will he see it's dark face; how i wish he won't.
can he keep his light and always smile please?!
how i hope that he can out live his flaws that he may have.
how i plea that he know he is not a kidd or a bray and not hate his blood.
let him grow to be better than
all of us
please?!

I’ve dreamt of a time,
When I could drink clean water,
I’ve dreamt of a time,
When I could eat clean food,
I’ve dreamt of a time,
When people would be able to see,
That all should be treated equally,
I’ve dreamt of a time,
Without sorrow,
Always telling myself “It will come tomorrow.”
I’ve dreamt of a time,
Without war,
For it fills the shore with bodies of those I adore,
I’ve dreamt of a time,
When I wasn’t looked at,
As just being some black,
I’ve dreamt of a time,
When I wasn’t looked upon by the ignorant,
As being some illegal immigrant,
I've Dreamt
-Jerome L. Kidd Jr.
Wallpaper Vapors?
I wanted to repaper my room
But mom and dad said it’s too soon
You just did it yesterday, you crazy kook
But THAT paper had kayaks and today I want nuns
My parents just looked at me, clearly stunned
Had I gone religious all of a sudden?
Ignoring them I tore down the paper with glee
It wasn’t level, anyone could see
And put up my nuns in revelry
But the nuns didn’t pop
So I decided to stop
And hang up my posters of musician Kidd Rock
But that looked too teenish to me
So I threw them away and grabbed a painting
Van Gogh’s “Starry night” looked like a dream
The perfect wall covering, at least while I sleep...
Palindromes used: repaper, mom, dad, kook, level

Black Eyed Susan
Secret Recipe in Japanese
Sushi and Saki
melody in Japanese
Almost like we speak it
I haven’t felt like this since 2003
A good weekend
So lets let it sink in…
Like Boston and Dallas…
You took over the game Kidd
Then I’m drakin’ while we’re chasin’…
Welcome to your final destination
Uniquely intertwined
As your eyes meet mine
Almost like I read your lips…
Taste like sweet wine
And I’m back on cloud nine
What a bliss…so intense
Strange that we never knew
Wish I could tell the world
They couldn’t handle the truth
So I’ll hold on to the secret recipe in Japanese
Cause with time things taste better
And the sushi and saki
go hand and hand
Even in the snowy weather.

You can’t wow me like they do
By
Latoya Kidd
I am so bored with you
You take me out to the boring restaurant where all they do is slow dance
The other guys buy me expensive clothes
They wine and dine at expensive restaurants, and not fast food like you do.
They let me do what ever I want.
They don’t mind if I dress sexy.
They know about the other men that I date.
They don’t say anything.
They drive the spots cars and they live in the Hamptons.
Each night the come one by one to take me to the club and they let my wild sexy
Dance comes out.
You just want to slow dance
I love to get wild and let my hot dances come out
Your to boring and you like this

The Whiskey made the Kidd fighting mad and he swore he would gun the Sherriff
down
And then a funny thing began to happen to the Kidd he frowned for at that
moment when the Sheriff neared to him the wind began to howl and all along the
watchtower for a mile or more the people howled like Indians always do. Then
the lightening came out of a clear blue sky and split the tree in two making the
Sheriff cry and holler and dance on one foot like fat people always do. The Kidd
tossed both his guns into the dust at the Sherriff's feet. Eye am threw he said
with yew. The whiskey may have addled him is what the Sherriff always thought
but the Kidd knew that it was a sign from his Lord the GOD the JESUS up above.
