"im Not"

People don't know who I really am
Im not about the fortune, the fame, or the glam.

I'm not about that he said she said drama
Im not on you or your baby's mama.

I'm not about playing games, I am for real
I'm not about telling lies on how I feel.

I'm not about stressing, I'm about living my life
I'm not about rushing, I'm about taking my time.

I'm not about smoking, I'm not about drinking
I'm about focusing, I'm about thinking.

I'm not about failing, I'm about believing
I'm not about following, I'm about leading.

I'm not about losing, I'm about winning
I'm not about the end, I'm about the BEGINNING!

Strong Black Woman

A Strong Black Woman
Is someone who can hold her own,
She's never weak
Always strong.

She's very independent
Don't need a man,
On her own two feet
She can stand.

She keeps her head up high
Never looking down,
She's very outspoken
Holds her ground.

She has a college education
Very smart,
She knew what she wanted
From the start.

Strong Black Woman
Don't need a man to have her back,
Always putting up with 
They bull crap slack.

Strong Black Woman
Yeah she may have an attitude,
She may come off cocky
Sometimes a little rude.

She may have high expectations
May be commanding,
She may be a little bossy
A little demanding.

Her words may be harsh
She may act like she don't care,
But when you need her
She'll always be there.

Strong Black Woman
Yeah you got to give her respect,
Don't disrespect
Or she'll put you in check.

Strong Black Woman
Takes care of her family,
Don't go clubbin
Home is where she wants to be.

She keeps a good job
She'll never be in the cold,
Strong Black Woman
A hell of a title to hold.

Gemini

Good in bed, talkative, very smart,
Energetic, two-sided, intriguing from the start.
Mesmerizing, keep you on your toes,
Imaginative, one side good, the other side who knows.
Never know what your going to get, can be sweet, sneaky, all at the same time,
I love being me, im truly one of a kind.

Brokenhearted

I wish this was a dream that never came true,
When they took your life they took apart of me too.
I think about you often, my heart aches everyday,
I miss you much, what more can I say.
I sit and wonder what you would be doing right now,
I know you'd be on your motorcycle riding around town.
I miss seeing your handsome face, and it hurts not to see your smile,
But when we meet again I know it'll be worth while.
So until that day comes you will always be in my heart ?,
Even though your far away, we will never be apart.
Love you brother!

Summer Breeze

Looking at how the leaves are changing colors
Green, orange, brown, and red,
Getting ready for the fall
I'm watching as they start to shed.

Daydreaming about how beautiful life is
While listening to the birds chirp and play,
Enjoying the warm summer breeze
Makes everything bad go away.

Soon it will be winter
And it won't be any more fun,
No more summer breeze
No more late nights under the sun.

It will cold outside, and a lot of snow
Little kids will be playing together,
Making snowmen, and snow angels
They will surely enjoy the weather.

Red

RED is steamy, sexy
Filled with love, warmed hearts
Tied together, never apart.

Sweet RED lipstick, kissing
RED hearts floating in the air
Showing each other how much you care.

RED is mad, upset
Full of hurt and pain
Angry, with tears falling like the rain.

Hot, RED in the face
Full of hate,
Crushed, betrayed, very irate.

RED is hot, spicy
It can be sour, or sweet
It can be juicy, or very petite.

RED is tasty
It can be fed
Its warm, beautiful
Thats why I love RED!

My Life

Take a look at my life
Do you see what I see?
Take a look at my life
Before you decide to judge me.

Judge me for who I am
Not what Im suppose to be
Judge me for what's inside
Not just what you see.

My life hasn't been perfect
Yes I must admit
Not receiving what I want
But getting what I get.

My dad was never around
Even though I didn't care
My mom gave us what she could
Even though he wasn't there.

I made some mistakes in my life
That I'll give anything to change
But I can't keep thinking about the past
'Cause what will I gain.

I have to focus on my future
And stop reliving the past
Why I keep dwelling on what I can't change
I always seem to ask?

I need to think about what lies ahead
And think about my life
Cause when it comes down to it
It's no one else but mine.

You Think You Know?

You think you know me
                                                      But you don't
                                                   You think you can
                                                       But you wont
                                                You think you know me
                                                        Deep inside
                                                You think there are things
                                                     I'm trying to hide
                                                   You think I'm selfish
                                                       I think I'm not
                                                  The things I did for you
                                                      I think you forgot
                                                    You think I'm mean 
                                                       That may be so
                                                         And if I am
                                                      I think you know
                                                       I think the past
                                                       You can't let go
                                                  Now our future is so, so
                                                You think you can judge me
                                                      I think you can't
                                                     You think I'm this
                                                         I know I Ain't!

Mother

To let you know how much we love you
And how much we really care,
That you were around
And that you were always there.

Even though we had very little
You would make it seem like so much,
You would make the bad things go away
With just a single touch.

You raised five kids alone
Without any help,
You did what you had to do
Even though you were by yourself.

We couldn't always get what we wanted
But we was never ungrateful,
We knew you didn't have much
So for that we were very thankful.

At times you wasn't understanding
At times a little hard,
I know you was just trying to protect us
So you never let down your guard.

Now we are all grown up
And living different lives,
We all made some mistakes
That we will deal with over time.

Just be thankful that we are all still here
And that we are all still together,
So for now I wanted to say
Love you always and forever!

I Give

I give you my love, which is pure and strong,
I give you my heart, to only you it belong.
I give you my strength, to keep you strong and safe,
I give you my soul, to keep in a safe place.
I give you my mind, to read and to guide,
I give you my feelings, which I tend to hide.
I give you my body, to nourish and to hold,
I give you my hopes, to make them unfold.
I give you eyes, to let you see I'm in love with you,
I give you my dreams, to make them come true.
I give you my dedication, to make us last longer,
I give my weakness to make you stronger.
