Raquel Brown Poem
I could never imagine what it will ever feel like
just to have the pertect man made for me.
I never knew what he will look like
or if it could even be.
I always knew that I had an adam because I was a perfect eve,
who just wanted my king to find me
and take me from misery.
For so long I dealt with pain from men who choose to use me,
blinded by the thought of just wanting to be free.
I always wanted to give the inner part of myself,
but never could because those men choices
left me the choice to keep it on the shelf.
I knew I was the woman that every man would need
and couldnt understand why hurt would choose me.
Finally after so long, and so many tears over the years,
My adam finally appeared and buried all my doubts and fears.
The moment I saw him, I knew life had changed
and because of that my courage to love again was just re-gained.
The joy he place in my heart over-whelms the tears of happiness I cry
The peace that he has placed upon me
lets me never look back and ask why.
The love that he endures through my soul
flows to my mind and lay deep inside my heart
I love my man til death does us apart
I never knew than,
but Im glad that I know now
and I thank god above for that day I was found.
My adam. My King. His Eve. His Queen.
That I am and so blessed to say
that I am truly in love with the man that was
Perfectly made for me this day.

Raquel Brown Poem
Broken in a place where my wounds cant be fixed
Torn by the aids and the drugs that killed you when I was six.
Cant get it out my head, Why my world decided to change
I live life to win, only because its a live or die game.
Broken in my heart the day they took me away
All because of a man that choose to rape me that day
Being raised by strangers in different homes
I never got over the fact that momma left me all alone.
Broken in a way that changed my whole life
Gang banging and drugs, and carrying a gun with a knife
Raised in the streets and taught by different men,
Living a life I thought was real, but all for pretend.
Broken into pieces, pieces that cant be fixed
I had to fight my way through but started to get tired of the shit.
I had to make a choice and I had to make it fast,
But than that day came where my time did not last.
I had my mind set on wanting to do the right thing
but how will that happen if life always seem to rain
I had to push and push til my breakthrough came in
Finally I was broken to wanna live life again.
I fought through every war, I surrendered through all the pain
Everything I lost, I took back and regained.
Broken once before but never broken again
I thank god today that he gave me the chance to win.

Raquel Brown Poem
I waited for so long for these tears to dry up,
pouring out of my heart, its too heavy,
this pain is enough.
I waited for so long for my wounds to heal,
created, destroyed and born again,
Yes my God is real.
I waited for every moment to regain what I lost
the battle, the fight, it was all for a cost
the cold in my heart that made me cold-hearted
I choose to live freely but from others i departed.
I waited for so long for my dream to come true
and it came the day that I laid my brown eyes on you
I feel renewed and at peace because youre now in my life
and that I will cherish my moment when it announced that
Im your wife.
I waited all these years just to take a fresh breathe,
those secrects and pain I buried and kept
but it only made me wait for that day to set them free
and yes I did my friend,
I got rid of the misery.
I waited and I waited but didnt have to wait too long,
now Im rejoicing and singing my beautiful song
that Im free and Im free and Lord Knows he set me free
I waited and I got it and now Im appreciating life within me.

Raquel Brown Poem
Love lost in so many places
People rejected cause of different races
Silent because you're scared to be heard
Not sure if your voice counts,
so you choose for your opponent to speak first.
Love lost in so many places
Gave up on your dreams
because the closess people to you hated.
Now you searching in the world
for your confidence and pride
but the world destroyed you and
only made it easier for you to die.
Love lost in so many places
Girls choose to sleep around because
thats how they think they gonna make it.
Momma never home, and Daddy aint around
only gave that strange man a reason to
sex her and keep her bound.
Love lost in so many places
Rather kill before some other negro choose to take it.
Hustling just to get everything you got
but than you got greedy,
so you decided to go eat out of another man's pot.
Love lost in so many places
Babies having babies and
the system just up and take em.
Fighting just to be the mother society pressured you to be
Now your child moving home to home
Looking for you, asking: "Why me"?
Love lost in so many places
Too many places but people seem to choose to erase it
But the only thing about these places,
they never dissaper
Why you think 99.9% of people in the world
Is living with the spirit of fear.
"Love Lost"
