Xavier Johnson Poem
Just when I thought you knew me well
You're bothered by what circulates and surely I can tell
I know you heard about Georgia peach, i.e. Ashley
I know you feel like my past girls are still mad me for...
I see you couldn't finish your statement
I'm hard to satisfy and I'm never complacent
And by the time I find myself comfortable enough
There's a break up that follows, the recovery is tough but...
You think I'm ringing their phones
You think I'm owning a throne
You think since all these people love me that I'm never alone
You think that I'm not over her
We're cool, but I don't talk to her
You think that I love starting over and my past is a blur
You think... Ugh... You think that we could be something
You judge me when I say my feelings are nothing
I hate what this is becoming
Blinded by your thoughts, I can't figure your perception
How you love me so? You dismiss important questions.

Xavier Johnson Poem
GeorgeLuis: Deep demons breaking my heart
But I'm still smiling, trying to play the part
Time, time ticking in my head
Now life is like walking on a thread
Feeling alone, God send an angel instead
Real purpose of smiling again? Is there new love waiting ahead?
My angel keeps me company
Her love is my astronomy
Knowing every little thing she would do for me
Like I'll die for you, you die for me
I know one day I'll die in your arms
My love is yours and your love is mine
And I hope for you this is not only rhymes
You begin to notice my feelings give energy
My love for you is now until infinity
Xavier: Hopes of something new
No lovers in my view
Though my options are plenty, I'd rather be with you
She doubts we can be serious
My heart keeps me curious
Let rumors hold me hostage, with drama there's no healing us
Tears flow down your cheeks
Your past has you weak
We can take off high speed, leave the baggage in the street
Have I convinced you enough?
Or am I running out of luck?
I'll untwist us from the wire, if we ever become stuck. So what's up?
Attempting to charm, I share thoughts deliberately
My love for her is now until infinity

Xavier Johnson Poem
Poem for poem, rhyme for rhyme
I'll continue to write, until it's time
Time being death, which I never see close to me
Sometimes I find placement in places I don't want to be
Like in your conversations, did we forget my positivity?
Like how I helped them at their worst, after they've begged me constantly
I'm running out of options as well as doing favors
Handouts become expected from those I consider takers
Rekindling former loves can become very likely
I could tag one in with Nick and make a special trip to Raleigh
My time is valued more, and I choose how I spend it
By now they've realized my love has no limit
Part 2 was about you know who, I hope she liked it
You never know what you like at first, until you try it
Old feelings, new women, mismatching
Old friends, new rivals, backstabbing
I feel sharper than I did at 8:00pm
Thinking back to the issue, it was best ignoring that DM
All problems became trivial once I showed them what Happiness is
Expression of a man, loving mothers and their kids
Yet, it's so easy for words to become twisted
The bullet misses the target, then the meaning becomes misted
Count on being forgiven for things I didn't do
Addressed it in full, all love from me to you
Poem for poem, rhyme for rhyme
I hope through the hard times, I remain on your mind
We're not perfect nor are we saints
Not even as Xavier, shall I discard restraint
I've fulfilled my Ideas of Gold
Even if the expression was Too Much
These are thoughts that I hold
Never too sensitive to touch

Xavier Johnson Poem
My love has no limit
Like the stars beyond our galaxy
I wonder why they stay mad at me?
Effortless of them, I've stayed satisfactory
But I know something they don't
I'll do something they won't
My love has no limit
And conditional is what I don't want
That goes for family
That goes for friends
That goes for my girl, until we meet our end
My love has no limit, so what's an end?
I'm saying I'll give it all as long as you don't pretend.

Xavier Johnson Poem
Reflecting back on my past, I think I'm better here
We've lost a lot of spirits, innocent lives taken every year
Yet, we are not the solution
They rather tear us down a bit, which leaves me in confusion
Let a young man work towards fulfilling his aspirations
There's so much work to do, that I've delayed all my vacations
I heard things circulating, if it's misread then it shouldn't wait
So I'll explain it, though I shouldn't have to annotate
I texted TJ saying, "I wrote about you on Ideas of Gold"
He didn't like what I said, we solved it, now the story is told
Not this much since George and I had it over Jenni
6 years later, we're like brothers and stay getting plenty
I'm not here to seem alone or break up happy homes
I'd rather have homewreckers at Moe's
Or at Paw Paw patch cleaning chicken bones
An alternative is Panamanian at George's second home
Where I'm served like family, and treated as if I do no wrong
My shyness has been slipping, I've been so aggressive lately
If I had to deal with me I would hate myself greatly
But before they didn't take me as serious
An introvert at best, my mind remains mysterious
So, take note of all things to remember
Spending time away from writing, I'll be gone till November

Xavier Johnson Poem
Sometimes I hope that at the end I make the right decision
Me speaking things into existence can be unforgiving
I'm moving in a pace so fast, I rest in 1st place
They're taking photos with the cam, as I lead the race
Enough it is to say that I am doing great
No time I've wasted, and I have the mission headed straight
With Nick and friends, I don't see a better path to take
Our minds are set and I'm not planning on a time to wait.
Sometimes I wonder was it real, and if I truly miss it
All my exes play their roles as if my life was scripted
I'm writing poems, hoping that the message is given
Taken away was hope that good things could be written
"Surely, you'd have to hate them Zae"?
Surely, I would not waste my day
No spite at all really, my thoughts just linger at night
Sharing what I've been through gives me great things to write.

Xavier Johnson Poem
Time for celebration
Time to gather up the best in one location
Back where high school dress codes were your main struggle
And if your outfit was right then you could score a double
As in two phone numbers from girls who may coincidentally know each other
So now your stuck in the small town cycle, where you won't trust another
Kickback at the Hampton's where the greats are invited
And if the boys get comfortable, the flames are ignited
No smoker, but what's wrong with a cigar and a shot of rum?
No rush for the thrill, I know my time will come
By now, you start to realize the brighter side of things
Like my necklace, gold watch, and new pinky ring
It's an overkill maybe, I just want to show the people what I've become
How to bake a dozen cookies out of one crumb
Building ways to take care of my parents once they hit their age
Leading by example, so my younger siblings can do the same
I still have boys who discredit me, the lies they tell are you kidding?
I heard she has my link bookmarked
So let's not mention who's really winning

Xavier Johnson Poem
My ideas are gold
Not a thought I would waste
As the issues unfold
My mind is still holding grace
And to say that quite guy couldn't say much
I'll still be silent to you, until the paper and the pen touch
The outlet that I use, poetrysoup is the diary
I notice a few others who disgracefully try to copy me
Should I take it as love, not important to be opponents?
While crafting my thoughts together, giving my readers moments so they can---
Make It last, make it last forever
I thought we should have had it, but you couldn't show me better
And I make poems about it over again
We've could have done it all, you just drop me as a friend
Then it ends, a new day and a poem to begin
Yeah, we know a few things and I would be ashamed
Like if it were mine to claim and It doesn't have my last name, buddy.
You know I'm writing with a cause
So if you're worried, here's a note to all your flaws:
If she says she'll call you back do not expect it
And if she'd rather stay with me, well... Just accept it.

Xavier Johnson Poem
I'm that guy that checks on you after 8 hours of work
I'm that guy who watches your messes then cleans up the dirt
I'm that guy that will help you, yeah, you're coming first
But am I doing too much?
I'm that man who understands you when the world ignores
I'm that man that knows for sure, when it rains it pours
I'm that man who reaches to open every closed door
But am I doing too much?
You're that girl that see's me as her least important
You're that girl who puts me below a hair appointment
You're that girl who says my choices were inadvertent
I'm sure I am doing too much.

Xavier Johnson Poem
Happiness is staring at the trophy before I go to sleep
And receiving a good night text from my Georgia peach
Happiness is knowing that my friends are here to stay
The positivity around me keeps the demons away
Happiness is helping the people in need
While avoiding wolves suffering from greed
Happiness is releasing my enmity towards you
Accepting short-term rivals, the hate I won't do
Happiness is growing, while winning at your hobby
With happiness involved, adversity won't stop me.
