Erikah Rae Poem
Love the way you live
Explanation for why I hurt with so much pain
I cant explain
Who do I blame
Do I blame a mother that couldn't wake up some days
Who only seen her own pain
Do I blame a father who walked out as if shamed
Do I blame a God with a bigger picture that I yet could not conceive
What do I believe
Do I blame myself
Did I do something wrong in a past life that is the cause for all this wrong
Is this the normal life of a poor little biracial girl
They say the eyes are the window to a person's soul
So what do they read when the windows are covered by rain
How can you see the world how its meant to be seen
When all you've ever seen was pain
How can I explain
How can I tell you that everything is fine
When I myself believe it to be other wise
Dont look to me for inspiration
When I have no hope in the human race
I see war
Not only in the world
But from within myself
How can I tell you to smile
When I myself have ran out
How can I tell you not to cry
When I cry myself to sleep at night
How can I say things will get better
When I've seen worse
How can I convince you that life is worth living
When everyone around me is dying
How can I tell you don't hate a rapist
When I myself have been raped
How can I tell you to forgive a murderer
When I've had a love murdered
How can I tell you to not judge a drug addict
When I myself have contributed to my own peoples happit
How can I honestly say to move on with you're life
When for years I've held on for dear life
How can I stand in front of God
And explain why I've lived the way I've lived
How can I not judge him
When he's set back and watched my suffering
Who do I blame
Me or Him?

Beauty Lies within Yourself
And All the Miserable Pain you’re dealt
Your Sorrow No One Else Felt

Erikah Rae Poem
Green eyed
And hard headed
Beauty lies in every man’s eyes
Five and 7 high
And pride of might
Puerto Rican running through my veins
And the pain of Hitler buried in my brain
Unable to be changed
I’m set in my ways
I’m a minority woman
Get out my way
I won’t explain
This Is Me
I won’t take no shorts
I know what I want
And what I want everyone needs
I’ve been screaming “f--k the fifty-states”
Since the day I was conceived
I walk with my head held high
Eyes open wide
And my legs closed tight
Trying not to mask the beauty that’s inside
Praying I’ll get wise
Even with these lies
I can’t continue to try
One day we all must die
I can’t “live”
I’m too busy trying to survive
This Is Me
Don’t try to confuse me
With what I don’t need!

Erikah Rae Poem
Come close
And turn down the lights
I want to share my little delights
So lovely and tight
All I want to do is satisfy
To gratify
Taste me from behind
Touch Me
Tease Me
Love Me
Please Me
Wanting to bring you ecstasy from inside
My backside is bona fide
Head certified
After all this time
No need to be shy
100% satisfaction guaranteed
I want you pleased
So go real deep
You said you wanted a freak!

Erikah Rae Poem
When I die
I hope the father in heaven knows I’ve tried
I lived life to the best
Even with all the trife
Not knowing all the answers
To every question
But always searched for truth
Lived in my youth
And hopefully I’ll die satisfied
Preoccupied with my drive to wealth
To relieve myself of this hell
It doesn’t always stay a constant dwell
I pray he knows I’ve loved with everything I’ve had
Even when the sh-t turned out bad
I’ve remained loyal to myself
With my own inner wars
Even if in the end I knew I’d be scorned
I want the world to know I was a star waiting to shine
Even when the light didn’t seem to be so bright
Trying to leave my troubles behind
Throughout this pain I constantly tried to play superwoman
With a mask on my face
Not knowing I was the one who needed to be saved
In times when I felt I’d been betrayed
Retained all sadness this world caused
While my very happiness was put on pause
I pretended to be unflawed
To protect myself
I put up a wall
On the day of judgment
I hope I’m forgiven for my sins
I was only trying to “live”
I want to be remembered as a survivor
I played the game
And played the cards as they were dealt
Even with all the misery I felt
I’ve been in love a time or two
And I’ve been broken-hearted more times than a few
There were moments when I forgot what I was fighting for
Never knew for sure what my purpose of crying
I just knew I was tired of trying
I wanted people to believe I was strong
Even when I felt weak
I want to know a life where I do not suffer
Where my own thoughts don’t get me in trouble
My legacy
I want the world to remember my face
To say I somehow changed this miserable place!

Erikah Rae Poem
I don't know what to make of my own dark thoughts
I don't know if I can trust my heart when it loves selflessly
I don't know if I can go on living with so much confusion
I don't know if I can die without knowing truth
So much time has past
Every second that passes
The less I know
I can't say I believe what's to be shown
I feel like I'm just going on and on
Never receiving answers
But not wise enough to ask something new
I don't know if I can trust you
I don't know if I can trust me...... around you
I don't know what to do

Erikah Rae Poem
Why is it we fear what we do not know?
And explore what we feel we can control
We believe so easily what someone else says is true
As if we only allow ourselves to live the way they tell us to
I wish I had a back bone
To think for myself
Instead I was raised to think and behave just like the next
I’m not expected to be more than the environment I evolved from
To grow up like most little girls
And only want a family and kids to protect
I’m weird for saying I could care less
I’m a fool for thinking that I can think and act just like a man
I’m stupid for implying I’d rather be rich than to be a wife
And for saying my man can walk out my life
I’m going to start my own mythology
Where the hero in every story doesn’t have to be male
Where women always don’t depend on a prince to come rescue them from
despair!

Erikah Rae Poem
My soul found its mate
And my broken heart found a cure
You're everything I prayed for
Just a little bit more
The love of my life
My comfort zone
The shoulder I run to
When my tears need a home
I know what they mean now
When people say they can't live without
I finally understand
What this love things all about!!!

Erikah Rae Poem
We go through our ups & downs
But doesn't everyone now?
Unlike the world
You make me feel so sure
As sure is the sky is blue
I know I'm in love with you
Destiny at its finest hour
The moment it brought our roads to this pattern
I look at you & I know I'm where I belong
I believe in time I'll get what I want
And you'll see we were right from the start
I think fate brought this to be
God's glorious plan to give us both what we so desperately need
Each Other!
I know I need you in my life
My happiest moments weren't born until you walked into my life
I know you love me
I can feel it in my heart
For me
Loving you is a pure delight!

Erikah Rae Poem
God
I must confess
I'm so in love with this man
From the very first moment you sent him into my life
I knew it was right
Kinda like "love at first sight"
I asked you for years for the perfect match
But when you created him you went beyond what I could imagine
You made him perfect from the inside out
How could I ever have doubt
If you made anything as close to perfection as you
I know it was him
