Roots

Boricuuuaaaaaaa pa que lo 
sepa. White rice and beans on 
the dinner plate got yelled at 
by your mom for being 10 
minutes late . el coqui you hear 
at night the coquito you drink 
during Christmas time . Los 
timbales hasta La conga musics 
in our blood el ritmo nos 
Levanta. Familia Es todo and 
when times are rough we count 
on each other . From el morro 
to el yunce Los boricuas 
sabemos hacer arroz con dulce 
.frankie Ruiz to Marc Anthony 
all these salseros will go down 
in history .the beautiful 
beaches in San Juan sipping on 
that Puerto Rican rum , 
dominoe games with the old 
timers yelling CAPICU ahora 
ganas tu. Puerto Rico se llama 
la isla del encanto y cuando 
muere alguien rezamos a 
nuestro santo. La mujeres son 
bella y los hombres son guapo. 
El orgullo de ser boricua. No es 
tu nacionalidad tipica. Sabemos 
cocinar y bailar hasta la muerte 
será boricua

Prison Break

Locked up . Behind bars. 
There's a glass that separates 
us . Your in there and I'm out 
here I wish you were near. I 
wish you wouldn't have done 
the things you did all of that for 
just a pair of diamond earrings 
. Our love meant so much more 
cant get the image out of my 
head when they carried you out 
through the door . there's a 
million and one things that 
could have proceeded but you 
decided to chose the illegal 
route .i was heated no doubt. 
this is was all because of 
money something I didn't care 
about . Now we're stuck with 
writing letters and in each one 
it doesn't get any better. I wish 
you wouldn't have made the 
decisions you did I was your 
wife we have a kid !  All you 
thought about was yourself you 
could have cared less about 
how we felt. bail money is to 
much id have to work 5 jobs 
just to get you out . but you 
made your bed so now lie in it . 
I can't believe you did what you 
did all because you was thuggin 
it . I hate to break it to you 
that doesn't impress I could 
care less the way you dressed 
me no needed to finance me . 
now it's over your sharing a cell 
now this is just a sad story that 
I get to tell .

I Am the Comissionare

I'm coming for you bitches 
hitting you with my poetry 
sending you to the mental 
hospital needing brain stitches. 
Ima make you fall apart you 
thought I was finished honey I 
didn't even start.  You might be 
pretty but your not smart.  
Don't be sleeping on me , cause 
when I blow up ill have your 
man on my Instagram silently 
creeping . This is reality no 
your not dreaming . You think 
I'm ghost I'm just quietly 
scheming . But check it start 
peeping you thought I wouldn't 
make it I get 100 likes fully 
clothed you get 25 likes being 
completely naked. When they 
say my name you get this eerie 
feeling and you can't shake it . 
I'm always on your mental . It's 
eating you inside it's 
detrimental . Your my guinea 
pig it's experimental . I know 
I'm doing good when I see you 
mad it's so sad your words are 
bad and your hooks are kind of 
like the worst sex I've ever 
had. Even your man thinks 
your whack I know this cause 
he tells me you found out and 
had a heart attack . But chill 
out I don't need him to bad you 
got traded for a girl who looks 
like she just came out of 
maxim. Karmas a bitch and 
she's playing on my side . You 
can drop the mic exit stage left 
for your career has died. It's 
funny cause you never even 
dropped you were to 
underdeveloped . My Facebook 
you stalked my twitter you 
followed your like a kiddie pool 
super shallow . I hope you say 
back and took notes this is 
probably the best poem I've 
ever wrote . If you need to 
press rewind on the remote . 
Don't go back up selling coke if 
you get caught its murder she 
wrote I think I'm finally done 
dissing you becoming one of 
my poems is your worst 
nightmare you'll be a citizen 
while I am the comissionaire .

Illusioned

I've come to the conclusion / 
that you were just an illusion/ a 
figment of my imagination / a 
portrait of my own creation . 
Most days you were real as can 
be on other days you were just 
someone who I wrote about in 
my diary . I painted this perfect 
picture of you. Stuck in my 
mind kind of like glue . You 
didn't have a name you were 
just exhibit A. I made myself 
believe that you truly existed 
and that one day I would 
become your mrs. The day I 
decided to erase the pictures 
from my mind I felt like my 
heart kind of died . You kept 
me happy for so long but little 
by little you were gone I 
needed you here I needed your 
love  all that keeps me going is 
knowing that your above . That 
god has the perfect person for 
me and that is my true clarity

Things Ended

You are not what I expected I 
had a revelation it manifested. 
Your loyalty was tested and 
although you passed i wasn't all 
the way invested .I  Can't erase 
your face out my mind .. I can't 
seem to shake you out my 
system . You've put me in a 
position in where I need to 
make a decision whether or not 
I should listen to what I could 
be missing . No need for 
dismissing I'm already involved 
keeping my guard up was 
heavier than I thought. You 
were my wrecking ball you 
enjoyed watching my guard 
finally fall. The big insecurities I 
once had are now small . I 
picked up every single one of 
your calls and enjoyed my trips 
to the mall .you were 
everything I needed you were 
my all. Tattooed your name to 
my chest so you knew it was 
real we were commited it was a 
sealed deal .  when I needed 
you , you were there did 
everything for me I enjoyed 
this love affair . and when 
things ended my guard went 
back up I couldn't believe It fell 
. you leaving was something I 
couldn't tell
