Aria Maddox Poem
I don't know if it's my navy slacks or multi-colored blue hat, but
today is one of those days that I'm feeling kind of blue. A bit
confused about my purpose, a little off centered and unable to
focus. A million thoughts running rampant inside my head, and I
can't seem to grasp just one to make any sense out of what I'm
feeling. Stevie Wonder's "Fulfillingness' First Finale" plays softly
in my ear. And he tells me that "Heaven Is 10 Zillion Years
Away." This is a really wicked album, and I listen to it often.
But today, every note stroked at the tip of his fingers, and every word
that he sings, I'm feeling soul deep as if he's singing from the pages
of my life's story. I'm feeling so blue. Existing among you
without a clue, as to what to do, or where to go. Alone in a world
full of people. Feeling blue all by myself. Remembering those who
love me, those who hurt me, and those who may not be quite
sure as to how they feel about me. Different shades of blue on a
background of black hangs over my head and I try to get a grip.
Snap myself back from the blue funk that I'm currently sinking in.
Fighting hard to stay afloat, cause I've never been a good
swimmer but I do know how to stay alive. And these blues have

Aria Maddox Poem
My evolution may not be televised, but it will be read
and heard by hundreds if not by thousands
it will empower me if no one else
I am a New Millennium Woman
Not defined by tradition or definition
So don't label me
because I can't be bought or sold
I've been called a nonconformist
a rebel
and a militant
marching to the beat of my own drum
living life by my own rules
I am a Queen who knows her place
with or without a King by my side
and I'm ok with that
Now I'm not trying to knock the brothers
because I love yall dearly
but I'm strong enough
liberated enough
and independent enough to know that
a relationship will not make or break me
This is 2005 and sexuality is no longer
black and black, black and white or man and woman
it's whatever I want it to be
whenever I need it to be
I'm an evolutionist
living in an evolutionary world
with an open mind and a love for people
however I refuse to conform
to whatever and whomever society thinks I should be
I'm a natural born Artist
forever thinking outside the box
true to my acorn tanned complexion
and my long flowing locks
God Blessed me with the power of words
and the power to form those words so that
others can connect feel and relate
to the passions I feel about life
I've learned a lot and I'm constantly growing
discovering new truths for myself everyday
and the more I grow the more I'll share
and the more my evolution will become
our evolution and the greater we all will become.

Aria Maddox Poem
I've made so many promises
and lost so much time
everyday is a constant struggle
and I'm tired of the hustle
don't know how much longer I can last
stifled in the present while my dreams are fading fast
cause now I know why the caged bird sings
freedom and redemption songs
it's her only solitude
trying to survive a future so cold & dark
so I carry my dreams like she carries her song
snuggled deep inside my heart
praying for God to release me
from those who hold the key
so the world can finally see...me...
spread my wings and fly
soaring high through heavenly skies
creating my own destiny.

Aria Maddox Poem
Spent months building a wall of trust
Only to have seconds of suspicion tear it down
A figment of my imagination
Perhaps I was just delusional
Addicted to what I thought we had
Kisses once so sweet
now laced with poisons
I can still taste
While thorns buried beneath false promises
Pierce holes
In my tormented soul
There's no room in my realm for fair-weather friends
And their conditional love
Either you love me or you hate me
There is no in between
Take me as I am
Cause this is who I am
I remember the day we began
As well as the night you chose to end
What you claimed was so special
Unfortunately now we'll never be friends
Your true colors you showed
In various shades of green
I can forgive
But never will I forget
The deceitful seeds you spread
You've made your bed
So sleep well
I will.
