The Irony

You bury my hurt and my dreams 
Stave me in the back and expect me not to bleed 
You rather torment me then to leave 
You love to put the blame on me
Your actions are the reaction because of me?
I'm acting out before I think
But In my brain there's a logical explanation for everything 
I don't expect you to understand me
Been with you for a decade
And you still act like you don't know me
taking medications just to sleep 
headphones over my ears to block out everything 
shaking because I'm expecting you to swing 
My fault I play the victim for everything 
Let me close my eyes let me blink
Now your in my head 
and I'm a whore for taking a picture of me 
spending hours in the parking lot 
I just need to think 
I don't have the energy to argue with you
Or listen to you scream at me
regrets of going home
I cant change the way you think of me
You already have it in your head
That I can't think on my own 
You put me in this box 
knowing that I'm grown
Slowly suffocating me
Staring at me while I'm trying to breathe 
back together but not mentally 
holding grudges?? maybe
I still haven't forgave you for everything 
Remembering I wanted this marriage thing
But I have to learn the hard way 
My scenario for everything
Should have listen to my mom
Looked up now I'm alone
where did all my friends and family gone 
burned all my bridge's keeping him at home
The Irony, so bad I wanted that family 
My reality, feeling like I have
A demon at home assigned to me

Comfort Zone

Dwelling in my satisfaction of being alone
my depression can get so deep 
feeling like a ghost stepping in and out of my own reality 
society has already labeled me
So I pray God please catch me before I drift away 
battle with myself daily taking pills soon to realize there's no happy pill 
people telling me you can't be happy until u learn how to love yourself 
looking in the mirror and I don't like what I see 
It's not all about image but what have I accomplish? 
who I allowed to get in my way I floated way from my dreams 
Mercy from people starts to fade once you reach that adult age 
cold judgement because I didn't live up to your expectation
Thrown under the bus by familiar faces 
kicked and I'm already down 
driven over like a dead rodent in the pigment on the ground
then you expect me to resurrect myself 
I'm only human I don't have the strength of Christ who carried society on his back
I'm all out of strength so I don't have the strength to fight back 
feeling like one man against an army and you expect me to fight that 
hiding like a tortoise in his shell 
I don't want to answer my phone 
hoping I can defeat this depression next season 
until then I just want to be left alone
I'm hibernating I call it
my comfort zone.

I Swallowed My Pride

I walked up to the church
(And I swallowed my pride) 
and asked the lady 
can she please step aside 
That my children are hungry 
 and can you please sacrifice
anything for them to eat 
She gave me some oranges 
and a couple bottle waters for them to drink 
tired and exhausted traveling 
from the capital of California 
To the streets of Fresno  
the shelter was are destination
We had nowhere else to go 
now 
im sitting in this shelter
 looking at 
these four little walls
 trying to soak up everything
At least in these four little walls
My mind can collect some peace
without someone yelling nor screaming at me
Homeless with five children 
lost on the La streets 
domestic violence 
wasn't the only reason
 that brought me to my knee's 
more like being hard headed 
 should have listen to my peers
 had to bump my head 
a couple of good times 
Inorder for me to learn 
the true meaning of peace
The definition of the struggle 
Been trying to maintain and juggle
My reality 
vs the reality of humanity 
They judge me so hard
they judge me
before I even got to speak 
why?? 
because my hair's a mess
Careless of how I dress
frozen stairs from people 
looking at me
 like I'm some kinda of freak
Look people 
it's called stress
depression and anxiety 
has kicked in 
Now 
anyone's opinion of me is obsolete
I hit rock bottom so fast
was hard for my mind
 to calculate a thing
Afloat 
I got my head a little above the water
Finally can take a breathe
 without inhaling the water  
 done with people 
all they do is talk
Literally
 I had to crawl 
Inorder to walk
Fighting through this storm 
inorder to see the day light 
And What angered me 
Friends and family 
 judging me
 thinking
 with open arms
the government provide
I had to fight for everything
back in fourth through the courts 
for everything
worked hard 
for everything and 
the Lord held my hand
 threw the whole damn thing...
And what hurts the most
when it came to my kids father
Was him proving them right
And all i need him to do
Was show me a little love and proved
But instead he mistreated me
 betrayal with a kiss
 from my lover best friend
And true blood stress
 just wanted to be alone
 away from everyone 
Not answering my phone
And wanted everyone 
 to leave me the hell alone
Lord knows
 I just wanted to break 
Yet he kept me day by day 
didnt understand why 
i had to endure so much pain 
would have been a relief to break
didnt ask to be strong 
 Was losing my mind
 because my kids didnt have a place 
to call home sweet home 
Looking to the sky 
at least the sky is still blue 
Just wanted to crumble
 homeless with 5 kids 
plus two with autism 
My spirit was broke
felt like i was being tortured 
like a fish taken 
out of it's bowl 
while still alive
slowly dying and being revived 
stuck in a twilight
fighting with every element 
If dont know my story 
You couldn't relate with me
Im sitting here with tear on my face   
praying that i may see brighter days
Stomach ach from this eternal pain 
Hoping and praying that this season is almost over
Lord knows im humble
 and im forced to stay focused there's no other option 
the Lord gave me 
but to succeed 
for the 5 children he gave me...

Your Negative Energy

Negativity my silent killer
I can feel your negative energy
and trying to love you is poisoning me
Killing my creativity and hurting me spiritually 
like a bird spreading her wings 
My spirit needs to be free
Distracted by love 
I can't forget about me 
SHOULD I fight to keep us together 
Much easier to leave in peace 
Driving on enough energy to hold up me
Physically you may look together 
But spiritually your apart 
Should I sacrifice my stability 
so we won't fall apart? 
 You fail to realize 
God didn't create me
 for you to weight on me 
I can't built you up spiritually
I tried in the past
 and I failed miserably 
You forgot about me 
Tell me how can I glide 
With one broken wing? 
can't hold a balance with you and me
You need to turn to God 
we're spiritual beams
Are father is the only key to inner peace 
sorry I'm only a human beam
 you can't find inner peace in me 
Feelings of isolation towards your negativity 
sadly brings me to greater peace to work on me

No Trust

saddens me now that I lost your trust 
How can we move on from here? 
I tell you I love you 
and u think its for another my dear
breaks my heart because I don't know how
to mend your heart from here
back and fourth you question my love 
all because of miss trust has appeared 
If I can rewind time and undo the hurtful things I've done 
just to ease your mind from the hurt I've done..
I love u isn't enough
because there's no more trust
Can we move on? 
because of the heavy damaged I've done 
Are love will never be the same 
maybe we should just go are separate ways...
With time are love can heal? 
with a womb so deep the scar tissue will never fade away
just an ugly reminder of Untrusted broken love..

A Time For a Change

A time for a change
I can feel it in my bones
Im a color so bold it stands on its own 
God birth me in a race that wasnt build to break
Earth colors the warmth and beauty of my race
My skin shines a timeless glow a kiss from the sun 
Proud# of the shape of my hips 
Proud# of the fullnes of my lips
Proud# of the boldness in my nose 
Its Time for a change i can feel it in my soul 
Marching to the rhythm my ancestors slay for me 
Dont care anymore for those how judge me 
Im learning to love me
Im a woman i own me 
Im black im beautiful 
Im a proud mother 
and Im loving me

Don'T Shoot

Put your hands up 
                   "Don't shoot "
My- heart is beating at a faster pace

I- want to live to see another day 

Now-  the police is all up in my face 

I- feel a sharp pain in my waist

I'm- another victim of race hate

If- we Unite together 
we will see a great change 

But- if we don't stand 
our history Remains the Same

Silly Me

Silly me for being naive
thinking you weren't going to hurt me 
you were so good at surprising me
a blank stare, your grin and a bald up fist 
after a few good hits I never underestimated you again
 If I run away you would kill me exacted words you would say
 Or you'll hurt my family 
Me being a silly girl I believed everything you would say 
You had your ways of making me stay 
The threats, you running away with the kids 
Really made me stay in my lane
 You staying weeks away 
with different women really didn't bother me 
while you where away I got use to being alone 
an ironic twist the time alone
Made me strong 
I notice me and my kids had peace 
while you where gone 
until you came back to are home sweet home 
There wasn't anything sweet about our home
If you didn't have things your way 
NO friends nor family around me 
You had a great way of pushing everyone away
 Me being a Silly girl I relied on my depression as a cushion to ease my pain
 It took eight years and no plans for me to escape
You could have killed me numerous times
But I'm still here because of God's grace 
stepping outside a deep breath of fresh air 
Yet I'm physically paralyzed because of fear 
Silly me for never forgetting your words 
Echoing in my head haunting me on repeat
That promise you always made to me
Putting it on your mother's grave
With that grin on your face saying, 
you will kill me one day

Thinking Out Loud

As human beings
some how we allow hatred to blind us
from the important things in life
Loving each other equally should be our mine priority
Is having A child like mind the key?
for the love from a child has no boundaries
killing the word racism
Knocking out barriers
looking threw that key
we could see that love
exist in all our hearts 
Saddens me tragedy 
always brings this out

Isolation My Friend

Isolations so satisfying 
like a taste of sugar on my tongue
a deep breath of fresh air 
an inmate after ten years set freedom 
the joyful feeling of being alone
My guilty pleasure you see
I rather be alone then to have anyone bother me
I must admit sometimes i do get lonely
I try to go about socializing 
a task that's very hard for me 
sometimes i do forget the problems people bring
It's like getting hit with a heavy brick of reality
theres a lot of bad apples in this world 
instead of weaving them out
I rather be alone in my own little world 
My home sweet home
I guess you can say 
my depression is a big part of me being alone
like giving into sin
its so wrong yet very satisfying 
so go a head in walk on by don't mind me
I can careless if you don't speak
Isolation has never betrayed me
