Pros and Cons

We loved each other
You hated my attitude
I hated your behavior

Together we were good
You weren't happy alone
I wasn't happy with our relationship

We laughed together
You lashed out when you were angry
I cried when I was hurt

We...didn't work out
Too many cons portrayed the way we perceived one another
It's as if a lie was placed in the forefront
The pros weren't enough to progress to where we wanted
The potential was in reach but the damage had taken over
The cold shoulder was given to me
The favor had been returned
Bottom line, lesson learned when you want to love but hate to start over
Finding what fits, loving what hurts, and accepting what's real
Authenticity never seemed so perfect until the hidden colors are revealed
Dazzling ideas of what could be are just painted thoughts
The real you, the real me
Identified after time together
One must'nt be so deserving of a love taken for granted
For the essence of what it should be should be natural
It wasn't anymore and for that...
Our love was tainted

Son of a Man

A son needs a father
I said, my son needs his father
Not just to feed and provide for him
But to lead, protect, and be a guide for him
Show him how to be a man in the color of his skin
Give him rules to all the principles that abides within
Show him who you are but better in the light of his eyes
Dropping gems of infinite knowledge to be taught is what he relies
Giving examples of a man is what he will keep inside
Fearing no one but himself and not to go beneath his pride
Raising elements in his mind of his natural progression
Teaching what you've learned so he can conquer with a greater succession
Giving passionate ideas to defeat so that he can grow
Making obstacles obsolete so that he will learn to know
Just a matter of time before he understands your ways
And unleash what he redeemed to be confidently displayed
Learning how to judge a character and things to avoid
Being outstanding in his education to provide the tools that employ
It's an accurate decision when he makes the choice he does
He is taught with ingenuity to empower what he loves

Truth Is

How can it be
You and I alone in a room yet it just feels like it's me
We came this far to continue to grieve
For I lost him and he lost me
We couldn't see
What it is that we all wanted to be
Following his dreams
While unstitching mine at the seams
Please
Try to understand that I'm not a foolish woman
Given many a heartbreak I take the time to grow
Evidently the experience is taking time to show
It's true colors
One of impulse and  much realization
That maybe it's our choices led us down these places
I never thought that I'd be the mother to your kin
And though I love who you are it just feels like a sin
A sin because quite naturally it's not what I expected
And in loving what I know I want I guard my heart with much protection
Only because you've let me know just how damaging you can be
And the truth of the matter is I refuse to let you see
See me in a fashion where I'm hurt and confused
Or regretting my life choices to accept solemn rules
Engraved accordingly because I wanted to love you right
But I'm not sure if I should love you with all my might
Cause see, at any given time you can choose to walk out
Leaving uncertainty in my mind that confuses me with doubt
And unfortunately it's real and can manifest the mind
With that thought I will take it and look for other ways to find
Find a means to survive without you invading my life
Cutting every realm you tie to me and its all out of spite
See my hurt is much more deeper than you thought that it would go
I can be just a memory if I decide how far I'll go
You won't understand my theory and you'll take it with no peace
I'm a danger to my cognitive if I don't have a release
What I'm saying is to understand you must identify the fruit
I'm a fragile heart inside myself and the ugly part lies in the truth

Unfortunate

It's unfortunate that we keep ending up in the same place
Different trials come about and we end with the same face
It's quite evident the statues of our being can relate
I'm a duel quite unnatural is the ultimate partake
And I think if you ever left me it would hurt me for sure 
But the beast you find beneath that hurt is the one you must'nt lure
For within my shell you see all the things upon the surface
And yet still became apart of all the things I've built my hurt with
I'm not afraid just a little more reserved with who you are
And the quieter I'll be the more you will see that we will grow afar
It's a shame
That in spite of all the trials I was willing to go through with you
That I sit here and think why should I try when this man thinks I'm a fool
And so yes, the thought of leaving it all is as simple as it seems
It's unfortunate now that we have a child that have stitched us at the seams
No regret but a mistake that you too have done before
With ideas of a chance that you and I could work at it once more
I was foolish to leave my family and friends with the basis of being in love
And I trapped myself inside of the walls that I wish to break free of
There is happiness at times when you and I are both of subtle and calm
Then it all backfires in the realm of our lives every time that something goes wrong
I have found myself saying that I don't think I can really work this out
And to force such a love in a space that's unwanted is not what I am about
I will close off my feelings and sever my emotions that can tie within to you
And relieve all I feel without having to spill any tears that leave no room
I can say to myself that I'll be at a distance just to separate my heart
I refuse to continue giving more of myself if you just want to be apart
Let the action begin and your story will end how you set it forth on display
In the pit of deep pain the unfortune remains and the outcome will be as it may

A Mother's Love

When a woman first knows
There lays delicate in her womb
Is a precious little flower
That she carries until bloom
In the essence of the journey
That's described in all her ways
She will understand what love feels like
And profess it everyday
It's not seen or heard quite naturally
Just the rush of a sensation
Of a dwelling soul inside her life
That is forming a creation
It's the posture of a nurturer 
As she palms her rounding belly
Giving seemingly a touch of calmness
To massage the molding jelly
Yes a squishy little being is preparing to breathe life
In a world of many fallibles with some devastating heights
I'll be here to give you guidance from the mistakes I've come to know
And I hope they give you inspiration to be better than what you're shown
I think you're beautiful in every way 
Don't let anyone tell you different
You're my child from a blessing
And I say that with no resistance
You're the music to my ears when I first heard your heart beat
Now it's plays with much consistency 
In a rhythm softly
How I'm proud to be your mother looking in the eyes of an angel
When I think about the dreams I've had
I can guarantee there's one that came true

Violence

Danger
Guns and bullets
Screaming loud destruction
Hiding behind deep fear 
Using bodies as shields

Thief

Someone stole my joy
And decided to walk off with my peace
Leave me scrambled up in hurt
And buried underneath defeat

Someone stole my smile
And tried to run away with gladness
Left me drowning down in misery
Being swallowed up by sadness

Someone stole my heart
And chose to drop me off in pieces
With a broken fixture of love
And then they told me I should keep it

Someone stole my mind
And confused me up with doubt
Making believe that they were for me
Just to stand me up without

Someone stole my time
And in return they lost their mind
Just to believe they'd get away
Was a mistake they have to face
