Jazmen Flagler Poem
There was a point in my life when I was going downhill
A point in my life that I couldn't express how I would really feel
A time in my life where I would hide with lies
Smile when I 'm out--then go home and cry
But now that you're here, everything's been smooth
I guess you can say that I've found the missing clue;
To this mYstErY called life;
Everything that was wrong is now right
I looked at myself and knew that something needed to be changed;
But for some reason I thought that it would take alot of pain.
It didn't, and I did; so that must be some sort of sign
That as long as I'm with you everything will be just fine

Jazmen Flagler Poem
A smile can broadcast your feelings, letting everyone know you're feeling fine.
Some people mistake tears as a sign of weakness,
But I think tears are a sign of strength.
A strength I do not possess.
Letting people know how I truly feel?
Something I can not do.
The fear of judgement and ridicule hold me back from letting everyone know the
real me.
People only see a part of me. They only see the part I let them come close to.
They don't see the hurt, and the pain, and all the tears that I deal with behind
closed doors.
They don't hear all the screaming, and the crying that I hear.
They don't feel the hate, the hurt, and the back stabbing that feel.
All they see is a smile.
All they hear is a laugh.
All they know is what I let be known.
Just because I smile doesn't mean I don't feel pain.

Jazmen Flagler Poem
I don't want you to think that it's your fault
Because it's not
Things just didn't turn out the way I planned
I don't want you to think that you're a bad guy
Because you're not
Someone will be lucky to have you as their man
I don't want you to think I'm doing this to be mean
Because I'm not
I just don't want our relationship to be a lie
I don't want you to think I have no heart
Because I do
You just don't know how hard this is, saying goodbye.

Jazmen Flagler Poem
with my originality
came my individuality
because of those
i had no problem with my journey to naturality
my eyes began to open
starting to live in reality
started to see that friendship was quality
--not quantity
my real friends showed me things i always didnt want to see
& i began to be
ME
100 percent
completely
no misconceptions
of what it meant
to love myself
mind, body, and soul
no longer as a half
i am now whole
owner of my own
no longera slave to society
constantly trying to be someone that is not me
i am
JAZMEN
spelled with a Z
you see? my originality
possibly-came from the woman who gave birth to me
& from the ones that came before she
but still,
long ago i always stuck with the crowd
slave to certain rules
always tried not to be so loud
i allowed
my surroundings to get the best of me
that ended
November 4, 2008
i was 16
when i made the decision
to follow my vision
with such precision
my chemical processed hair
fell to the floor
slave to society no more!
FREE!
i became free!
to be exactly who & what i wanted to be--
Me
JAZMEN with a Z
no longer a naive girl
but a FREE black woman
i embrace my
originality, individuality--and now my naturality
100% - completely
with my mind, body, & soul
i am whole

Jazmen Flagler Poem
Trying to find the words
Trying to speak my thoughts
They try to come out
But my voice gets lost
Your presence is so powerful
The thought of you corrupts my mind
Whenever I try to talk to you
I get so tongue tied
Too shy to walk up to you
Too persistent to walk away
I get the courage to start
But then I don't know what to say
Is it because your touch is so gentle?
Is it because when you look into my eyes,
My mind gets so messed up,
That you've got me tongue tied

Jazmen Flagler Poem
Your presence holds me captive
I don't know if it's the way you talk
Or the way you walk
Something about you has me held in captivity
Your personality has a hold on me
I don't know what it is
But your charm just won't let me leave
Boy I swear, something about you has me in captivity
Whenever you come around, I become someone new
I begin to speak and do the things that you want me to
You've got me held captive, I don't know what's happened to me
But is this really captivity, if this is where I want to be?

Jazmen Flagler Poem
Take a minute and look at yaself and see what you become
Your dispicably beautiful self is dead now see what youve done?
To find that every one youve ever confided in has left you to the side
Now you really find out who was down to ride
My hearts contempt blocks out all five senses and i am dead to the world
Been a while since i was last a sweet bubbly little girl
Take a minute and examine those around you
None of them original or unique, they do as others do
Is it your own insecurity that blankets you from truth
Feeds off of your ignorance like some devious sleuth
Envy follows you throwin her eyes at anyone who dares be better
Ready to lie and dog out any and every one at the drop of a feather
Is this what we've allowed ourselves to become
The first sight rebelliousness and we quake and run
No one dares stand out or spit on the norm
Unable to distinguish from the crowd like a raindrop in a storm
Do not question me or doubt my ways
Because for you its surreal and I see that its just a phaze
You find humility in not having newest item of clothing
I find humor in your looks of sheer hate and loathing
Take a minute to read what I have to say
Take a minute to wash the impurities of life away
Take a minute analyze your life
Take a minute to envision your futue self someones husband or wife
take a minute...
let me know what you find

Jazmen Flagler Poem
Nonstop tears
Brand new fears
"Who am I without him?"
Anger, frustration,
Complete humiliation
"What did I do to lose him?"
Hiding emotion
With the strongest devotion
"I am fine without him."
The first 3 stages of heartbreak
Devastation, frustration, denial
The final stage of heartache:
You move on without him
Not thinking about him
One last bit of exposure
And then,
It's closure.
