My Cousin

They said you was sneaky
But your sweetness blinded 
My judgement
They said you couldn't be trust
But my heart see through flaws
My heart got me caught up in your web
You was a dark entity up under me
Watching my every move
Studying my walk 
My talk 
My style
You wanted my life
You conquer it 
You manipulate my presence
In twisted it for your selfish 
Agenda
You drove my car
Wore my clothes
But now I know
Your intentions was my man
He fell for your cobra spirit
You wrap around his temptation
In took it home base 
With your upper hand
He lost the battle with his weakness 
You both made a mockery of me
You two got a thrill off my hurt
My pain 
My love I had for you two
Had the world thinking I'm paranoid
I'm crazy
Praying my hurt don't turn into hate
Now the tables turn
You caught some of his blows
You lost grip on your life
You had put your trust on sweet nothings
After you witness my tears in pain
Through the years
He incarcerated drowning in misery
Waiting for his judgement
You self medicating your pain away
I forgive you both
My cousin

Co-Dependent Love

Looking out the window
The skies look gloomy
Feeling empty inside
Screaming out in silence 
Unhappy with this companion 
Felt like I bare you in this world
Your presence feel like labor pains
Leaning on me, I need an epidural shot 
Your complaining bring another contraction 
Your conversation burn a hole in thoughts
Depending on me make me feel wanted 
But, it's too late you think I'm your mother
You no longer look at me as your lady
I let this codependency go on to long 
Pray you don't walk out on me 
depend on me

Complicated Soulmate

We locked eyes
You stared into my soul
We exchange numbers

Wild nights 
Pimp caddy turned out
Humid steamy nights

Memorize on you 
My love screaming
Inside of me

Years later still,
Still come to as one
Your soul give me a rush

Lovers in the parking lot
Chemistry unexplainable 
Can't get over you

From Healthy To Dialysis

Life was beautiful
Typical teenager
Junior year 2003
Living life’

Walking the halls
Feeling confident 
One morning 
Walking up the stairs
Lost my breath 
Fighting for air

Went to the clinic
Test said negative
Wish it would’ve been positive
Second opinion 
UTI
I would’ve accepted that

Day before thanksgiving
Wasn’t feeling thankful
My body was dying
Drowning in its toxins 
I woke to a blurry worry

I could hear 
But my vision vanish
I couldn’t breathe
Kept my cool 
Saving my mama
Heartbreak

Went back to bed
Praying this a dream
This nightmare go away
I knew I was dying 
I feared the worst

Sleeping to my death
Which was hours away
My lifeless body shutting down
Midnight follow me
Dogs sense death
She waited for me 
By the bathroom

My fears came true
Sounds of the water 
No flow 
No drop 
My world stop

Mama push me to get ready
It took me hour to dress
I had to follow everyone voice
I realize I was really blind
Mama kept asking 
Look at her 
Had to fight to find her
I finally did 

Doctor hit me with a blow
A blow I couldn’t take
She was in tears 
She couldn’t get the words out
End Stage Renal Failure 
E
S
R
D

I could’ve died a thousand deaths
No words could explain my pain 
How did I end up here 
16 years old 
Felt hopeless
Denial angry
Felt angry 
Felt robbed 
Robbed of my dreams
Air force 
Kids 
Family

My Fondest Memory

Missing my childhood
playing games in the streets with friends
sip water from hose 

Sneaking to the store
Buy junk food before dinner
get in big trouble

Walking far with friends
ride the bike far to the beach
beat the street lights home

Rushing home from school
erase the teacher message
before mom get home

My first childhood crush
was a player broke my heart 
gave me my first kiss

Ft Myers

Rare hidden gem in Florida
Home to Thomas Edison,
Harvey Firestone; Henry Ford
America hidden blessing
Golden history landmark Royal Palm Hotel
Where the rich and famous relax
Palm trees sway proudly on Edison Ave
Caloosahatchee River 
Where you can go to escape the world
Cry your blues away 
City where the tropical savanna at its finest
Enjoy the ocean facing gulf of Mexico
Ride the strip of the beach
Sanibel and Captiva Island
Known for their pearly white sands
Tropical paradise
Take you to another place 
Estero a city that motivates 
Motivates to dream big
Robert Edward Lee
Lee county
Oh faithful American General 
Ft Myers home of snow birds 
Soaking up the tropical climate
Soaking up some Ft Myers memories
Memories that last a lifetime
