I Am Queen

They ask me
Who am I?
And what makes me, me
For I simply reply 
I am Queen
I am delicate, yet elegant
Any problem I handle it, dismantle it
So when they ask who am I?
I answer them
I am Queen
I am complex,
This is my soul, no objects,
I am vividly descriptive words 
Used out of context
I am close enough to contact
Yet far enough to detach
So as they speak that
Tongue of unknown knowledge
I repeat that
I am Queen
I withhold beauty in my eyes
I control the future with my mind
Only I remain can above and within leadership at the same time
So in due time
You to shall realize
Being a Queen is a state in which
Only I control my mind

The Era of Area

The Era of Area 

Diameters 
Circumference

The whole sector

My vision is the mirror of the world I'm reflecting 

Led by my Path and direction

I said I was reckless 

But only to relay the message 

That    
peace is peace

But that don't mean just ah fraction

We are mankind
Not manufactured 

Intellectuals 
That lack actual
Intellect that's factual

Susceptible 
To information un creditable
Satisfied with lies made eatable 
Audible and fashionable 

Collateral 
damage, 
descendants of
Degenerates
Piggybacking 
Of ignorance 

Soliciting 
Bigotry and 
Vengeance 

Is it 
the power of adding every cents
Or the fact that we been slaves 
Caged in that same ship ever since 

Kunta tried to make a drum
But the beat skipped
Speak it
He taught me, 
that's the way to pass teachings 

Read it 
Alex Haley taught me 
Words are our secret 
language leads us to our healing
I thank Ayala for her leading
And Lauren hill for her grieving 

So many I thank without guessing 
But you feel their presence 
Through my content and evidence 
I'm forever rich

Gold is my soul
Diamonds shining through my bones
I'm all elements and minerals 
Ascending in intervals 

I'll be the bird with the word
So you dont get pigeon holed

Strength is within us
We forget it though
Looking at the exterior
Forgetting the inter folds 
We self centered
But are we centered though
See the picture and throw a filter on
Then wonder why you vision thrown

We all sinners
casting the first stones
My people, take these steps with me
The path the leads us back home

Untitled

I'm Not wordy
I'm worth it 
My cursive 
Encourages  the mind, malnourished 

Enquiring on allusive conclusions
Is not cruel or foolish 
It is
True
The most  infinitive quest of life 
To question and test 
to prove or neglect  
to mourn or adapt
These are the most natural states of being

She Landed On My Moon

She landed on my moon,
Even though she was from Pluto
Too cold, to get too close
Her confusion kept us from fusing
She felt she shouldn’t feel this
So insisted I was an illusion
Yet and still kept intruding
She knew my light was to illuming to elude it
But too deep to consume in
Would she choose to refuse it or pursue it
How could I loss this
I lived my whole life stiff and tight
But she’s who I get loose with
We fit, so for me she makes room quick
I know she is complete and whole
But together we are continuously improving
She the one win when I’m losing
So this won’t be confused with
Any other emotion
I know that you can see from the sea
That I am an open ocean
Only for you to float in
Don’t focus so much on its
Approach just notice my closing
And know this, it won’t end,
My devotion

Distraction

Distracted 
But I'm counter active

I stay active
That Makes me the action

Tactics I've mastered
Make me a master

I'm 
Plastered in innocent souls of by passers 

But Shattered
Like glass is
Hearts not captured

Blood splatters 
Never matters
Put a napkin 
On the puddle
Subtle is the sound of deception

Distraction
There it goes again
Low as the tone of wind
Strong as the urge to live
Soft as sin
Sweet and supple 
It'll nudge you
But you 

Gotta stay focus
I gotta stay focus
Let's not act as if this was written for you
This is for us
It sure does
Get hard to get on ya feet
With no floor or rugs
The thing that helps me sleep
Is the same thing 
that keeps me up

Distraction
It says focus on a 9-5
You have passions
But passions don't provide
At least not quick enough, or I'm I not doin enough 
Who I gotta proof it tah

Look 
I guess I'm just frustrated
Because I feel like my gift 
Is being suffocated
Let's discuss the basics
We make our own way in this world
No one to trace it
So many ways in this maze
We all end up complacent

Stuck
Stuck in our head
Stuck at our desk
Stuck in traffic
Stuck in ah marriage

I'm stuck in my feelings
I'm stuck in my zone
I'm stuck but I'm fleeing 
I'm stuck but I've grown

And still growing
That thing about knowing things
Is remembering the time
You didn't know it
I use to think words like these
Didn't come from a poet 
I use to think the vision I seen
Would never exist with my eyes open
And at this very moment
I'm just soul searching 

Distracted by the world 

I live...   I journey

Moving, Slow Motion

Had to move back to the city
 the suburbans too sidity  
had me and my feelings and I couldn't even feel it
Got hit with a brick and didn't fidget 
Hard knocks knock sense in ya or knock ya senseless 
My strength is 
within  
Mysterious and mystic


Superior submissive-ness
A Derivative 
of the state of delirium 
We need  to be delivered from
 Ancestral residuals 
Leave us descendants 
Either scared are relentless 
Getting    back to it 
I had too move
Out the way 
to get back too it
Turn my back to it
Go back through it
But do it
To detach delusion

Inspire

It's
Not easy to fit
Inspiration into a single Manuscript
Skip
Information just influential tips
Grip
A concept of reality
Not formally accepted by society
Confirm, conform and accept sobriety
Me, I get high and add commerce to the economy
I know my heritage, I'm living, for I am a survivor
You don't understand your purpose 
So they put you behind bars because you act like your suppose to be behind them
Backwards minded
May we reach the same plane 
With the same pilot
Ascending  with guidance 
Signs scribed in silence  
Sign language couldn't describe my anguished 
pray you hear the sirens
Designed to divide us
By pride and phylum
I cum alone
Don't need you to get excited
Provided a little help
I'll be more then a little felt
Up, within a system corrupt
Dismantle the mantle until we erupt 
So what

That One Feeling

As I wander along the dimmest of dimensions 
I understand every thing is not created to to be understood
But stood in within distance
Emerge, then purge
All things wicked
Vicious attempts
Meant to condemn us
Deliver the pent up
Frustration circulating 
Damnation 
Revolving all the causing agents
All the while searching in desperation
For restoration 
Caused by evolution 
I Conduced this
Proven 
Theory
Eerie and elusive

Divided We Fall

Divided we fall
United we stand
You’ll never make it
Without a plan
Girls are mistaken
Say they need a man
More than ever 
I need a hand
It takes a lost
To appreciate a win
I think I can
Because I know I will
Two paths, two roads
You can’t do right
If your purpose is wrong
It’s impossible for the weak
To lead the strong
How you perceive a story
Depends on how it is told
Believe the life your living
Is the one you chose 
Consciously or subconsciously
We sow our own fate
Responsibility is a word we all know
But is a word we all take
We know to love
But learn to hate
So divided we fall
United we stand
Let’s make it better
With this master plan

Vision

Vision is just an obscure frequency 
Optically tuned into the epitome 
Of soul 
mentally
Constructing and Constricting 
Into imagery 

Whatever you are
Whatever you were
Whatever you thought
Is whatever you saw

Even though we see we never see it coming
Look at the past but the past has become us
What we come from 
Isn't the sum of
What is to come
Stuck
Within the pendulum 

Every lesson is a vessel
Signals sent to check you
Distract you
Or connect you
To paths you pass through

Concentrate
Contemplate
Decide then demonstrate

Disorganized sensory
Sensing things that don't make sense to me
deciphering and encrypting 

This isn't a fantasy
This isn't at all what it appears to be
