Buried

What do I say?
On this cherry day
At my own funeral
Where I execute and burry
The Burdon I once carried
Where I let go 
Of the life, I’ve faithfully married

Rest in peace woman of excuses
Who endured others abuses
That never demanded an apology
Or handed a lifeline to rescue me
I put you to rest

Ashes to ashes 
I bury the lashes
From the wombs of untruth

Sayonara 
Beautiful Liar
Femininity…Of the enemy
I bid you goodbye

Au-revoir
You coward
The regret, guilt, and remorse 
Has run its course

Bon voyage 
Weakened frailties
That reigned champion in the lifelong fight of
Me VS Me

Grim Reaper 
you can keeper
She was a stronghold
I never needed her

The sorrow of my soul
I am let you go
So that I can fly

Live Out Loud

My presence is invincible
I am dominant and powerful
Overcoming life’s tragedies is emotional
Vanity is self love; you can say I’m boastful
It’s the beautification to my struggles
Self-worth is my devotional

I swagger
I sway and I strut
I go out into the world
And I kick butt

I grasp reality
Reach out toward authenticity
I am undisputed
Heavy weight in credibility

My imagination is whimsical
My love of life is musical
Since of humor is critical
For when life turns cynical

Life’s catastrophes tickle
When friends turn foe
Frenemies are fickle
They don’t stop my show

I vogue with my fashion
Saunter with style
I’m Hollywood happening

I LIVE OUT LOUD

Stingray

STINGRAY

She took you for a ride on the wild side
Taking you through bushels and thorns
You endured the pain of the splinter and shrubs
Swerving through highways and by ways
U-turning to where disaster resides

She played foul
Destroyed all things beautiful
She’s unworthy and incapable of love

Her resolution was prostitution
Joy was her pain
Coddling crack…fondling cocaine

Stingray flowed through your urine
Foulness exhumed from her bob wired lips
Soiled and contaminated love endurance
Of this alleged relationship

Jaws of death clutching your humanity
Finalizing your mortality
Destruction ahead…your totality

You held on to the baggage
Of your broken heart and shattered dreams
And then to me you brought the excrement
Left over’s from your damaged relationship

This being why
I reside in this demise
You should have buried the bones
That destroyed your soul

Now you’ve compromised
The road less traveled of you and I

I Am Success

I was once told the sky was the limit
Then I learned of the footprints on the moon
I distanced my steps, imagined and then committed
I danced to the rhythm of my own tune

I Am Success

I Am Woman

I am comical with the nature of being fickle
I am delicate and dainty, my spine sometimes jells
My bravado wobbles and wibbles
Life being me sometimes tickle

I have the strength, depth and vitality of a w-o-m-a-n
Sometimes I am frail under a love spell
Still I am mightier than a locomotive
More fierce than a raging bull 
Yet, I am sweet as sugar and dignified beautiful

Emphasis on the ferociousness of my being
That dead stills your heart and expedites your breathing
I am a sea shell ashore with great meaning

I am vulnerable and vernacular
Versatile and spectacular
Peace is my avatar
I am woman

My swagger thrust me to soar
My magnificence out pours
I am w-o-m-a-n
Hear me roar

Love Story

LET’S FALL IN LOVE
 

Your venom is contagious
Spoken words outrageous
Your attitude...ungracious
 
Sobriety
Not part of your society
I guard you quietly
Curious of when you would notice me
 
I go through the motions
Of being your love potion
I sacrifice it all
Just for a notion
 
I forgive your disrespect
I disregard your neglect
Your dismissal of me
It’s all suspect
 
Baby Mamma
Brought so much drama
Emotional wombs caused trauma
Where there should be a period
There is a comma
 
Let me be your intoxication
Falling in love would be our motivation
We have to rectify the situation
By letting go of yesterday’s lesson

Dysfunctional

Being with you is an emotional roller coaster …instability
You circulate my emotions from the heights to the dungeon 
my guards are down I own the humility
You are the destroyer of my being, my soul sponge
Being in love with you is my only addiction
Escapades of the heart is uncontrollable
Possessiveness, jealousy, fear of rejection
It’s false evidence, a delusion, complete fiction
I sacrificed everything, now my life takes precedence
Involuntary passion is not consolable
Good bye codependence; hello independence
You love me and then leave me alone
Loving you is not good for me, it’s recklessly wrong
It’s Dysfunctional!!

I Fumble

Scuffling in the depths of the ghetto
Plagued by trouble
Lost in an isolated humanity
Gambling with my life playing in stubble

I fumble

A promise of vengeance
For my non-deliverance
Reality is my craziness
Apprehended by my silliness

I crumble

Desolation following me to oblivion
Self-destruction swallowed into this situation
Delusional from the inhalation

I stumble

Time To Pay

Your nothing but a nobody
Tryin’ to step to somebody
Swaggerin’ with your bling-bling glistening’ in the shade
Sportin’ last year’s Jordan’s with untied laces

Spittin’ venom and ejecting weak game
Day dreamin’ fantasies…talkin’ jive 
Pushin’ hard to be my hero

Camouflaging deceit drippin’ out of your grill
Your fizzle drizzled when I found out you didn’t have a nickel
Revelation you’re a counterfeit, a lonely cowardly zero

Standing like a canine waitin’ for its lay
Standing tall, howlin’ at the moon

When the steel the rubber hit the road you shiver like a poodle

You’re trifflin’ and petty
And bets believe every dog have its day
Your spine jellin’ like a noodle

It's time for you to pay!

Pay for all the crimes that occupied the night
That robbed babies emotionally from their mothers
With the lies, they gullibly bite

Because of your smooth ways they believed the hype
Reversing  roles
Your gangster is undercover
Of a bully that takes flight

A mingy mutt tryin’ to front like a dime
Driving a hooptie, like a hustler off dutie
With your lame rap and lies

From humanity and righteousness, you went astray
Spreading disease and vileness like a wild bouquet
Bow down to the judgment

It's time to pay!

Cry Me a River

Examining the measure of my calamity
I grow resentful and I inflict pain
Seeking to surrender all that possesses me
I lash out at the innocent which discloses my shame
I reach out
The intensities of my suffering I shelve out
Because my quantity is so immense

I become incoherent 
Chaos is my universal place
My ferociousness becomes timid
Eternity my expected release date

Society has snatched me by the choker
My community flames an uproar
Makes me want to cry…. Makes me want to holler
What are we fighting for!?

Each morning I rise to the same ole tune
The classic sound 
Of the lowdown blues

I have not delivered my hopes nor my dreams
My objectives along with my ambitions has went from flares to flickers
To face another tomorrow makes me quiver
I am distressed from authenticating my history

Cry me a river!
