Sherry Beck Poem
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

Sherry Beck Poem
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

Sherry Beck Poem
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

Sherry Beck Poem
TOXIC LOVE
Your venom spreads, contagious,
Words spoken, wild and outrageous,
Attitude ungracious and relentless,
The Dark side of your resilience
Sobriety,
an outsider’s plea,
Unseen in your bustling society,
I stand guard, my presence discreet,
Curious when your darkness will leave.
I tread the path of rollercoaster emotions.
A love potion in silent devotion,
Sacrificing all, heedless of the fall,
Chasing a fleeting notion’s call.
I forgive your disrespect,
Dismiss the hurt from your neglect,
Yet your rejection of me,
Lingers, suspect, like a shadow’s plea.
Your "Baby Mamma Drama,"
a symphony of strife,
Notes of toxicity, discordant life,
Emotional wombs echo trauma’s plea,
Where periods pause, and commas set us free.
Let me be your intoxication,
Love—the soul’s sweet motivation,
Darkness drips from your poisoned lips,
Etching heartbreak and love drops that drip.
I tell myself I won’t miss you
Yet deep within, I know I will

Sherry Beck Poem
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

Sherry Beck Poem
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

Sherry Beck Poem
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 or my dreams
My objectives along with my ambitions have went from flares to flickers
To face another tomorrow makes me quiver
I am distressed about authenticating my history
Cry me a river!

Sherry Beck Poem
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!!

Sherry Beck Poem
I’ve walked with you through shadows of pain
I beckoned to you often
Calling softly, whispering your name.
I offered you solace, a fiery hand of vengeance,
An unbreakable promise, a shield of defiance
In your sorrows, you found a twisted comfort
Rejecting peace, embracing the storm’s thunder.
You dreaded tomorrows, a habitual fear,
Drowning in weakness, shame drawing near.
You are a queen, a goddess, a rare flower
When I look at you I see the sun
You are hope, you are love...you are my daughter
Equality to my son
Why won't you notice me?
Why do you run from me?
Why do you reject me?
Why can't you see me?
I've been with you all the while.
In your state of neglect and destitute ways,
You call yourself a fatherless child, lost in the haze.
I’ve dried your tears each time you cried.
I gave you strength when you wished to die.
I’ve turned the bad into good,
You still feel you can’t go on, but I know you could
You seek love in your imagination.
But it’s pretentious hope a false acceptance.
A beautiful façade that has its limitations.
It’s an illusion
A wake-able dream
The answer is right here
It's within me
I haven't moved
My bond is certified true
I ache for the answer
Why don't you let me love you???

Sherry Beck Poem
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
