Bitches Brew With No Expresso

Why is that when you look at me, 
you see my skin, 
why is it that every time I look at the tv,
its the same bland people.
What ever happened
to a variety?
Hasn't anyone 
seen a basket of fruit?
How do I live in a society 
that isn't even designed or 
made for me.
Leftovers are the most familiar 
because my kind are typical rejects.
What to do? What would you do?
You see coffee, plain and no sugar 
is boring that's why its a sucker for additives.
And what does the plain coffee do, 
pretend it never some sweetener or sugar
because its ashamed. Ashamed of its bitter blackness.

A Learned Me, Trying To Conquer Things

The sensations I feel, the sensations I see
Will I be free or will they agree
Tomorrow's not promised and Jesus Saves,
will my heart understand or will I be brave?
I look to His word and I look into their eyes,
I want more than I can have which only leads
To good byes, a child with no parents, a brain
With only a thirst, never wanting to be left
Alone in the dark.

Superficial Seeing, Superficial Living

I look at people everyday,
And I never see them. 
Most of them. 
Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder, where these people flow. 
I can only remember faces at times. 
Beings in motion. 
But they're so much more.
They're more than their names,
their color, and their looks.
They have stories that I'll never know. 
A doctor with depression,
A homeless father,
A pregnant waitress, 
A loving thief.
They're all people I may see everyday. 
A cashier, could it be the future president?
A barren teacher, a heartless couselor.
You'll never know. 
They could be dying. 
Yes, that person that seems
So happy everyday. 
Be kind always. 
You could be shaking the hand of God. 
Hug someone. 
Love someone.
Carry somebody's books just because.
Tell someone you are,
Help a stranger.
Smile.
Share your candy.
Take nothing for granted. 
Cherish every moment with people.
Laugh. 
Share your life with someone.
For life isn't easy, and we're all
Taking it day by day.
But we must take it together.
So that our lives are better fulfilled.

The Shell, Where I Can Breathe

I wish there was a shell
In which I could hide,
It seems as if things only
Become worst and worst,
I smile anyways so that 
No one knows
So that no one questions,
Because essentially they don't
Care. I don't even want to cry,
I just want to hide from this 
Reality that I oh so harshly see.
What's next, death or a cup of tea?
I just pray for the best because that all that 
I can do. I look up, I smile, and pray.
Don't you see it in my eyes? This life I live,
No one knows but some days I just wish to be free
From people and eternally. People are everywhere 
And I just want to be alone. People here and there.
People everywhere. Leave, please. 
Don't look at me in my eyes.
They hold something that only my mind, spirit, and body
Can bare. I don't want to be seen so hide me, please.
Let me suffer alone and pretend everything's okay,
To You.

Escaping My Needs

All I know is that I wanted to run away.
At some point I couldn't make a decision on 
My own because my distorted mind had control. 
I tried so hard to try to suppress it or avoid it
But I couldn’t. I couldn’t. My mind said no.
I didn’t know how to move past it. There was
A sense of confusion between my past and present 
And who I was didn’t seem to know the difference. 
I tried so hard to to focus. To focus on what was in front
Of me but it was everything. It was everything 
And I didn’t even know what it was about. All I wanted
To do was run away. I tried to because I knew that when
I didn’t, I forgot where I was and where I was going.
It seemed like no one could help me but myself but even
I didn’t know how to help myself. Each moment I saw them, my
Heart cried because it was my heart and mind over me. I, didn’t
Want them to love me but every part of me did. 
The reason why I tried to run is because I knew that
Having control was the most important thing but
I would soon see that every part of me was falling
Into the cracks of them. Each day that I walked I 
Saw them and it only aggravated things.
Eyes say it all. Eye contact goes so far. Eye contact 
Can bring emotions and conversations never felt or spoken.
I guessed that was why clients were always 
Asked to lie down during session. What was,
What is, what I need and what I want. It’s all a 
Distorted memory but I just wanted to conquer it all.
Love conquers all. So I thought that if I let it
Just happen then maybe I would overcome it but no. 
No was the correct answer because the only person
That could solve it all is and was God. I would soon
Find out but not as soon as I thought. Hundreds of articles
To find out that I wasn’t the crazy one. That I was normal
But a needy vagabond wanting to be loved. I needed
Him is what I soon would know and be relieved to
Find out. And that this was all on purpose, 
All a part of my Destiny.

When Love Becomes Desperate

You're my best friend.
I'm your best friend. 
I've always been there for you,
You've been there for me.
Then there was she. Oh yes,
She. Yea the one that started that 
Random drama, the petty supposedly 
Grown one. That was in your life before me,
And how she threw a fit when I became important
To you. I remember, how she called you bitch.
How she told you that our friendship is worthless. 
I remember you wanting to run away from her and
Just leave her alone but what did you do? Exactly, 
You did what you've always done. You went right 
Back to her. And I remember asking you,
"Why are you guys friends?" 
And you said, "I don't know." You hurt me by
Going back to her. I wanted you
To be more than that. To only accept respect.
To not disrespect. But now
You've given into her and I 
Don't know how you expect it to 
Be the same between 
Us. What ever happened to being
True to yourself? Why do you let 
People treat you that way?
Why don't you love yourself that
Much. All I can say is to keep on
Living. I still love you but know a true 
Friend. Know how to love yourself before
You love someone else.

Neither One of Us Satisfied

Sex, a Smile, and One Hundred Words,
would we ever get deep or would I keep
guessing, will he love me or only see me
should I stay or keep walking, we sit, we go out
we text and we laugh. One "lol" after another 
but I wanted something real, something close
would he ever understand or would I continue to 
be broke
He wanted sex and I wanted none, he got none and 
I wasted time for I wanted him as a friend 
and he wanted me for satisfaction but
 in the end we would be left dry,
Without each other.

Fantasy Living

It's not safe living in a fantasy. 
You risk your self every time.
Sometimes it seems like there's no
Way out. It's like running in circles
Around a brick wall. I like to think of 
It as a nightmare to make it look less
Pretty in my mind. I thought that in this
Case it would be easier but it seems like
There's no escaping. This fantasy has trapped 
My reality and now I'm not sure if what I see is 
Real or just something my mind wants to see.
Who's ever heard of an honest living? I wish my mind
Had because I'm blinded in a cloud that refuses to rain.

Dry, Tired of Thirsting

Lately I've been crying more than often.
The more I think about my past, the more
I want to scream. They say they love me 
But leave me dry. Sounds like selfishness.
I'm young, what am I supposed to do?
I need you, you forget me and now I'm 
Left to depend on where you came from.
How could you forget your own child?
How could you leave me in the dark?
Why wouldn't you make your life better
For the both of us? No, it's all about you.
It always has been. Keep on living your life.
I'll be away as usual and you'll be where you are. 
Always sorry, always wanting to start afresh and we 
End up right where we were before. 
You don't love me, 
You love you.

Imprisoned By My Needs

Help me Lord, though I feel asleep
trapped in box, I can't get out,
I look left, I look right,
I need your help. I'm so sad 
because I don't want to be this
way, I want to be free, so please,
redeem me, I'm lost, for I am a tree
with broken leaves, with a scar
no one can heal. But You. Save me
from this prison where my mind finds 
satisfaction and shine Your Light upon me,
so that I can focus on the Your Everlasting Love.
