SUICIDAL LOVE.... by Lakeyia Clark
One night drinking, questioning the reality of her fate
Lead her heart into a slump of love vs. hate
Everything that was once there is now dead and gone
Washed away after the storm, she's now left alone
He thought he could trust her and ended up hurt
Now they are only what at first they never were
She was in the wrong place at the wrong time
Questioning herself trying to recall everything in her mind
Screaming telling the attacker please stop and a series of No's
Been thrown around and then into a unconscious state she goes
Who could she run to, who would listen
She thought it would be him but he said parts of the story were missing
Trying her best to convince him that it didn't happen by consent
He told her there was no more of them and out the door he went
Don't turn your back on me is what she tried to say
But he wasn't hearing it, he turned his back anyways
Her heart says pursue him cause this is who she wants and needs
But she can’t get through to his heart if he's holding tight to the keys
The victim of a scandalous scheme is never good for anybody
It'll make the most confident, loving, and trusting individual feel and appear as a nobody
The trust that was once there is no longer alive
To him she is fake and everything was a lie
Love for the man but confused as hell
Not the first time she's seen this but is now tormented with hell
Hate for every attacker forcing her to have a void towards men
Thinking that her man was the one she could trust, cause he was Heaven Sent
In her mind she wants to say leave it and let him be
But her heart says go after him you've given him so much of me
So do she put her heart on the line and risk a homicidal love
Or does she pretend like it’s not there and settle for a suicidal love
The truth was first revealed and he don't see it as foul play
A suicidal love cause she was a victim and he chose to walk away

The Rain…(the reply)(By: Lakeyia Clark 09/05/09)
If it’s always a rainy day...how can I see the sunshine
If the clouds never move...am I wasting my time
The clouds are like giants that I have to face
I’m an overachiever of course but will I win the race
Do you hear the rain and how its pouring down
Where is my happiness...it can’t be found...
Wanting much more for my child than I ever had
I still try to make it throughout the good and bad
Wrapped up in bondage from the things of my past
This pain is deep inside and I'm just wearing a mask
To cover up the pain that’s rooted deep within
To cover up the past and the hurt that nobody can mend
I don’t want to deal with it anymore
But I know I have a child to live for
The ugly truth has been revealed
In not so many words yet this is how I feel
With hatred and bitterness towards each and everyone
Men are viewed as predators and the damage is already done
But I try not to let that hold me back from succeeding
Though I'm happy now, my heart keeps bleeding
Bleeding from the beatings, cries, and scars
I try to erase them but they are what they are
Permanent damage to an innocent soul
Sleepless nights and I carry a load
Every night I sleep with the pain
Running from pain to be with what won’t hurt me
Crying out for happiness and to find my sanity
Every day I walk in the rain
But if I walk the other way what would be there
Would I be setting myself up for something I can’t bear
Would it be more of pain and less to gain
Or would it be a way for me to see through the rain

Outside Looking In (By: Lakeyia Clark; 4/7/08)
You’re on the outside looking in, so tell me what do you see.
Is it a hardworking, goal-oriented, single mother possibly?
Or is it just another young black female with no direction in life?
Not knowing I’m an overachiever despite my strife.
On the outside looking in, you only see what I show.
But the inside is much different from the outside, in a way you’ll never know.
A mask covering up the outside is what you’re probably thinking.
Or is it a cry out for understanding of a person mistaken?
You don’t see what I see, or know what I know.
You’re on the outside looking in and that’s as far as you’ll ever go.

The Power of A Blessing by (Lakeyia Clark 12/27/06)
The power of a blessing can bring a broken home back together,
Yes, it’s true the power of a blessing can change your life forever,
If a drug addict can be taken off the streets and put back into the home,
Then why can’t that child meet the father she’s never known,
If the power of a blessing for a mother and daughter equals reconciliation,
Then an abused, promiscuous, and hurt woman can find true love, instead of many relations,
The power of a blessing can help lift you up when you’re down,
And as a result, you’ll have a smile instead of a frown,
The power of a blessing can put the insane in their right frame of mind,
The power of a blessing can teach you to live for the future, and put the past behind,
If the power of a blessing helps you reach your dream,
Then there’s no telling what else the power of a blessing may bring…….
