Just Fine

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

A Smile

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.

I Don'T Want You To Think

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.

I Am Whole

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

I Love You (My 2nd Poem--Church Camp...8yrs Old)

I love you
I need you
Lord you are my everything
You had your son die on the cross for me
That's why I love you




WOW! I am finding ALOT of my old stuff =]

Tongue Tied

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

Captivity

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?

Take a Minute

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

4 Stages of Heartache

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.
