Trini's

Each year we celebrate
 We come and show ourselves
All Trinis show dem love
We all go crazy
We try to keep the vibe in us
We all miss Trinidad
We miss the beach
We miss all the limes and dem
We miss pilou
We miss Trini
We miss jamming up 
On labor day we are back
BAck jamming up on all woman
We givin dem a trini love
We geon rell wotless
We representing our home land
We must mash up de fete
We must show we are
 Trini to de bone

He

As  I realize what was happening
I cry I cry Promises I broke
I let my God down
I allow some strange boy in me
I barely knew him I scream
He was so aggressive and wouldn't stop
Tears became just water 
My heart became a sponge 
Fear became punishment
Love became distant
I just wanted it to stop
I waited as ilook at him
He became agry seeing me cry
My tears made him feel a way
A way like a rapist
Yes Yes you are
I knew I couldn't say it
I put my self in this 
I knew what he wanted
I cried and cried
I felt weak after
Words he made me say
Whose your daddy?
You are you are I cried
Promise me you won't leave me
I promise
I became a robot
A robot that couldn't be fixed
I became a alien to my own body
After an hour he stop
THe pain was still there
All I can say to myself is 
IT hurt it hurt
He looked angry at me
I am inexperience
i  didn't know 
I didn't know what to do
How to moan
I was a mute
I wanted to scream
I wanted my virginity back
I wanted to feel loved
I wanted someone to hold me
I wanted someone to say you not a whore
I felt worst
I felt like trash
In this crazy mix i deserve it
I deserve this strange man on me
I didn't know his name
I didn't know him 
He was 18 
I was 15
THe crualty he cause
The scar he left
Now what mve on with my life
Move on with my life 
Move on being angry at the world
Why why you do this?

Faith

The way you look at me
Known you for five years
The way you smile at me
My heart glimmer
I see something in you
A beautiful creature
A king waiting for his queen
The way you hug me
Its like im the one
The way you kiss my soft lips
The suden change
Its like I tamed the beast in you
Your now someone caring
You love is there just for me
I am lost
Not knowing how to appreciate
Appreciate you gift to me
I want a beautiful creature 
I want to be your queen 
I just can't I just can't
I am a walking soul with no body
I am lost in this world
I am not the creature for you
I am some girl with no body
NO commitment
No love in the heart
Just a stone
A dull stone 
Is it worth you love
Is it worth your patience
THere you are loving me 
Loving me for who I am
The lost girl the lost puppy
Then I realize you are my creature
You are my king
I am your queen
We became one

Hate

Hate is in the heart
No where to escape
No where to go
Just there in the soul
Trying to let it go 
Trying to live
How can a person live
When they are always accuse
Accuse of things
How can love appear
When hate is present
How can you be good
If evil is fighting you
Death becomes eye for an eye
It becomes a gift
A chance for freedom
Why live like a lock on a door
Why be the prisoner to hate
Why love when it resent you
The heart begs and begs
Begs for a chance
A chance in this world
Hoping someone see
Someone like you see its broken
Aren't I entitle to a whole heart
Aren't I entitle to salvation 
The faith I look to become buried with hate
