Woman Thou Art Loosed

Chains broken........
Bonds released.......
You are loosed
and finally set free
At a point of desperation to no longer be in captivity
With an outrageous temper, deep consideration, and a unique prospective of life
Divided between the life before and the life soon to come
Woman you are released……
Like birds out of the snare of the fowlers
Like race cars at a derby,
And as wasp on a hot summer day
Torn from the inside out
In a world of despair
You are no longer bonded
Broken down by the thought of your past
You might think that others never understand
But I know the rain won’t always last
The sun will come out tomorrow and you can bet your bottoms it’ll be sunny
The rain will wash away and you will stand again soon someday..

A Mad Black Woman

Torn down by abuse and a broken heart
Never even mended, not one little part
I’m a mad black woman
Bitter to the bone
Cut down by lies from my head to my toes
I was always taught to look up and to live by faith
But this world has done so much to me
No man ever filled that space
I’m a mad black woman
Because that’s just me
You see me and you see pain
When you see me I look so strange
Why?
I’m a mad black woman
Because I want to be
I’m a mad black woman though in my heart the men can’t see
You think you can tear me down by the words you always say?
By the way you enter my life and leave but never want to stay?
You think I am moved by the material things,
The things that never last
I want to forget about everything and move on through to the future, not stay in the past
This mad black woman within me is outspoken, real, and straight to the point
This mad black woman within me is not hard to sort
I’m a mad black woman because I want to be
I’m a mad black woman simply because that’s me!

Wonder

I wonder how many times I pray to God to keep him safe 
I wonder how many times I think of him and wish he could’ve stayed
I wonder if he understands that my love won’t ever fade 
I wonder if he knows that I feel this way
Sitting here worried if when he sleeps he will wake up safely 
And when he wakes he walks with patience
I wonder if he loves me the amount that I love him
I wonder how much the world thinks of him
When I look deep into his eyes I think he knows of his short comings
I think he understands the hurt that we have to go through and the pain that 
keeps us 
torn apart.
I have sympathy for him at times when I don’t know how he is on the inside
And I think of him as the best when I don’t understand how others see him 
behind what I 
see
Everyday I wonder how my life could be if he was still here 
If he was here to wipe the tears away and to let me know that I can make it 
Wondering how I can show him that no matter what he does he will always be 
accepted for 
who he is.
I wonder if he knows…….

Why?

So many times I would think of your feelings without my feelings coming before hand
I would think of the hurt you go through before I think I the feelings that I have to 
undergo at your expense
When I think of things like this I try so hard to hold back the tears 
And I try with intensity to think of a way to get past what I feel inside that I can’t 
come out and say in the open
Despite the many times I was just fed up with it, I never said what I felt
I never said a word about it and the secret is what in my mind I kept
Why is it that my feelings have to change b/c of you? 
Why is it that I have to be silent when I know that I can’t hide my feelings?
I understand that you will never change and I’ve come to accept the simple facts as well
Things seem so mixed up and there are things I do regret
I regret that I let myself fall in love and you did also 
I regret having the feelings
And thinking that your feelings will change 
I regret and I’m sad to say that I still feel the same.
These are the questions I have to say,
Why do you do this to me?
And why does it hurt so badly?

Reflections

Reflecting back on the experiences that life has taken me through makes me wonder how 
many times I could have just gave up and left without the hope of ever regaining the 
power to bounce back up.
Ever regaining the strength to press on through life and still continue to fall and 
stand 
once again.
Life is not the best at times but there has always been something in me to continue to 
think of   the grass being greener on the other side.
The rainbow being brighter when you look deeper into the sky and the flowers smelling 
better the second time around
It is a mystery that while others don’t know, there is pain behind your everyday 
lifestyle,
Hurt behind your smile and wonder behind all the trails and tribulations you go through.
Reflections not only makes you gain gratitude but it brings consideration to everything 
you do and a thankful heart as you move on through life.
Things will always seem as if you have nothing else to live for and the thought always 
happens to cross your mind but there is always time 
Time to think, time to wait and time to get back up again

I'M Moving On

A tear not seen
A heart not touched
A kiss to remember
A search for lust
A desire for love not wanting to hate
A passion for security
Where one has no escape
I thought of this when I looked into your eyes
When I saw the real you and not the mask inside
Looking out my window
Dreaming to be up above
Forget about the world
I want to finally be loved
I guess something dramatic had to happen for you to come running to my rescue
My life almost taken for you to finally come through
The hurt, the pain
Is what you took me through
Sleepless nights as if you said in your mind “forget you”!
The lies
Are only heard in my life
You hold my hand and look dead in my face and lie as if it's okay
We'll it's not okay, I wish I was gone!
A life clueless about the truth
A life never dreamed of
Never even imagined
Seeking for the right person
A true good daddy
Now it's all over
The struggle, the tear
I'm moving on without the fear

Lost Love

I’ve seem to have lost you in the mix of all my struggles
In the mix of all the fellas that wanted me and in between my fears and tears
You are my lost love.....
The one that I wish I could find
The one that in my heart would take up all my free time
Take up the time to think only of you and always think of how you would always be there 
to come through
Now that you have happen to escape my every move,
The love is lost leaving me in a world where I am misunderstood
You, my lost love have taken a while to regain the special location just next to the 
middle of my heart,
Right next to the spot you were from the start
If I could find you trust me I would, to be next you like I should,
For you to hold me and never again leave my side
My lost love

True Friends

Distinguishing between your friends is a hard journey to embark upon
Learning that they are sometimes untrue
Talking to people you once thought you knew
Turning their backs right in your face when you need them the most
Not considering your feelings as if you were a ghost
True friends aren’t what their name really describes
True is not fake, sincere, and straight from the heart
I have yet to find the true find in my life
From what I can see, the endeavor is rather hard because of my past experiences
Thinking that in my own mind every thing was okay
Not wanting to listen to what my mother tried to say
When she told me to hang up the phone and go my own way
I guess I had to experience it hands on to show me to leave them alone
I guess this will show me who my true friends are and understand that I have NO true 
friends!

Teens Only

The shattering windows of childhood
The torment of being a teen
The lonely neighborhood teens live in
Through the eyes of an adult it's unseen
Boys and girls in love
Some say that it's puppy love,
In our eyes we think it's something big,
We think it's from up above
Going to the movies and being with our dream soul mate
The one that in our eyes would take us to a world of no escape
Through the eyes of a teen,
We think it's the best life to have.
Through the eyes of a teen,
We make our own plans
We put our school work on hold, and expect the people who made us to cover all our 
demands
Teens only know just a sample, just a touch of the world to come
We do some things we think are smart when looking at the big picture, it's really dumb
We think our friends are true,
They really don't have a clue
Fighting with each other, go run tell that, he say, she say in a world not politically 
correct
In a world of having too many regrets
Not just, going ahead and moving on
Moving on to bigger and better things
If this is the way teens think
Why can't we change our prospective of life?
Eliminate what happens and before thinking first, think twice.

I Saw You Happy

I observed you in an awkward moment of silence
I saw something different in your eyes
Maybe a twinkle
I saw a smile
A smile from within
A saw you laugh,
A laugh unheard for a long time
This time, I saw you happy
Not frustrated by the world
I saw you happy, not wondering about the kids saying “Where in the World”
This moment is one that will cherish
This moment is one that I’ll never forget
For this moment, I finally saw you happy.
