Mother At Thirteen

when I was younger 
I grew up to be mother 
of child when I was thirteen 
look down upon 
from a lonely pond 
no one tried to help me 
I was lost and bearing a child 
my adolescences was taken 
I ask to myself 
was I been mistaken 
I was brought up by my mother 
to always be stronger 
but yet today I feel even smaller 
I  was beaten, humiliated and even made a shamed of
why does the male counterpart 
never is the blamed one ? 
but today is the day 
we I stand up with my daughter 
tell my myself this 
I will be stronger 
not just for me but also for my daughter .

Miguel Ramos

Miguel I am sorry for your short pass.
I am sorry for me never to understand.
we smoked to un ease 
are so called worry and stress.
we inhaled then exhaled 
and thought of nothing less.
we listen to music 
 that made us feel accepted 
but you and I know 
we were never accepted.
two young brown males 
lived an a inner city. 
peers looking down 
to show us no petty .
against a thug who has sworn 
to live by the best .
what has taught us too
be the best we have yet .
you called and cried 
for all the help you needed. 
and a real friend was never found 
am sorry Miguel
I ignored your calls .
now the time has come for the rose petal to fall
I am deeply sorry I was the friend 
that never answer your call.

Young Yet Old

how am I young 
but yet feel so old 
have I let myself go 
to hide an cave 
where shelter is safe
my comfort zone is the best 
where I feel in place 
I have been stepped on 
laughed at 
but I look past that 
my young soul has turned old
and I cant just look back 
I choose to isolate myself 
and I know 
it isn't healthy 
so prove me wrong so I can be wealthy 
not with money in cars not with glitter in gold
but with smiles that shimmer with the light
 that's end at the road/

Cap2 71165

Am glad yup 
Yet But sad 
How can I watch
Your rock n roll fame 
Full of people 
Who never understand the name
Who can I blame 
Is it the system or the love ones 
Playing dirty games 
I feel ashame 
Only looked upon 
As a legendary 
But never a human being 
Is it not weary 
Walking across the cemetery 
Not included 
Excluding from the rest 
He said 
"Am not bout to rest 
Till the true story been told and been
blessed " this isn't checker all I play is chess

Last Cloud Before Dawn I Promise

Nature feel what nature is .
I created clouds just for this .
So you can see from above 
What real beauty really is .
Even when no one sees 
To take the time 
To feel my breeze .
I cover you from sun 
Yes really am the one 
I paint the a clouds in the sky 
Don't ask why? 
All I ask is to Enjoy the sky .
