I've been beaten down, back stabbed and drug through the mud
But yet all I search for is my true love
I've been thrown down stairs and spit in my face
I've never really found my own happy...

We’re shape-shifting, my roommates and I. Transitioning mentally from freshmen and sophomores (nobodies) into juniors (somebodies). We’ve been around, we’re not the new kids anymore. We’re being seen and appreciated. It’s a mindbang.

There was a...

Why did the Native Tribal man decide to build the tee-pee for shelter?
Why did the origin of Africa build dirt houses?
     The Caucasians and Australians architectural designs formed.
Does anyone know why people of color...

That love she thought had vanished I can reexpose 
Heart frozen like a mannequin but I can change her pose 
Rebuilding her foundation using words for tools 
Rewriting her souls brochure and changing all the...

I don’t want to be the other half of 
something someone lost a long time ago.  
I’m not interested in being 
the better part of valour.  
Everybody learns the hard way,

Or wrap a belt around it until they f*****g choke,
Maybe, tie them up somewhere,

Hanging the mtha fcker from a tree,
using rusted barbed wire,

So many people I can barely feel myself breathe
There is an anxiety, but also a joyful anticipation
What is happening? Who knows? Who can see?
I try to push my way to the front. It is great...

I don't know a Better Name,
But ,"You're Somebody's Hero."
It's not just a game,
And it's always fair.
What are we made of?
Pearl and polished stone?
Or tar and rot?
We  are what we have yearned for.
Have we spent...

Who Is Your Neighbour?

When I was young and lonely,
Sometimes it was me.

But as I got older and became more conversational,
It was whoever I stopped to talk to on my weekly constitutional. 

And at college it...

What if all that there is,
and all there has been,
and all that we know,
is just somebodies dream.
If we’re all just creations,
in a fictional land,
where each move we make,
has been carefully planned.
Where the lives that we...

She says she doesn’t
Doesn’t believe it
Love is impossible

Everyman she’s dated
All minds were deflated
All they want to do is bump and grind
You can read between the lines 
You really know what I mean

Sexual gratifications
Never a vacation
All...

The Person On The Corner
 Author Dana Redricks

They look as if she wasn’t there
 She’s somebodies mother, she’s 
 Somebodies child; she was laid off
 She may have made some wrong choices

to have some one to talk too.

Years of heartache 
Living a soul-destroying life,
While being a child and
Somebodies wife.
Isolated from the world
Feeling trapped, but not kidnapped.

Found my way, I shall not sway
I know now, all will be okay.
Time to heal
Time to repair
Focused...

 Clueless 
Its they're typical life, 
Judging a child's side,
Corrupting our minds,
Without knowing our real lives.

They keep you an eye,
Watching like you're a fly,
As you fake your smile,
Just to qualify. 

They will act like,...

Born in the broken hut of an old story
he persists as a writing,
as words hammered from his own breath.

There is not enough
of the right kind of madness in the world,
too much reasonableness has led to

Outside a door
I stand.
Above my head
on a second
story landing
lives my soul-mate.
Plain, normal,
not of royalty.
One of sincerity,
creativity,
above all else,
loyalty.

Outside I wait
with mere fascination,
a strong attraction.
I only know her name,
bits and pieces of her life.
I know that...

There is nothing in my eyes as dear as your form
You are the rhythm of life every moment
I know you are beyond my limits
But I can not forget you
The mind says it will see someday
