People Change

Sometimes you have a friend; you share you lives in such a way, that you talk more than once or even more than twice a day…. 
Another friend who’s a mom that you only see on planned out girls weekend….
or that friend who moved away so you know you won’t see them until the next holiday…
but you’re a social butterfly so you meet someone new 
and all of a sudden seems like your friends just become people ‘you knew’…
something happened or maybe nothing at all….
was it a big fallout or just several things that were small?
 Words unsaid feelings unexpressed…
you know how they are so you dare not suggest, 
that now when you come around you feel like a guest… 
it’s hard to grow separately, without growing apart even with the best intentions and love still in your heart….
Maybe they just needed you at that time in their life…maybe you had the need to be needed… but now you’re learning to enjoy life…
It makes you feel better to think they came into your life but were not meant to stay…
but is that really true? Or just something people say? 
When trying to find a reason why… people they know… become people they knew?
 Maybe there’s no reason at all, it’s just called LIFE…. so embrace it with no expectations….to avoid disappointments…so when something beautiful happens…you’re genuinely grateful…
People change, feelings change, doesn’t mean that the love shared wasn’t real or true…you don’t always have to answer the question… was it them or was it you?

Church Girl

Force fed lies…still tryna digest, so much more to being holy than Just the way you’re dressed… obsessed with tryna impress, fulfill any and all request but feels more like you’re under arrest, you look depressed, but I guess as long as you look like the rest…you’re blessed? I protest this needs to be addressed…I see you girl, you’re afraid so many feelings, thoughts unexpressed…you’re not delivered just because you suppress ….lemme guess, you’re scared to “transgress” so you live in silent distress, spiritual unrest…May I suggest? This could be a test….time for you to reassess
You’re not better because you wear long sleeves or because your dress goes past your knees or even because of the men you try to please, believe me God sees…how you cut off anyone who slightly disagrees…everyone was created unique not Siamese.  The only thing that’s gonna make you better is when you learn the keys, get on your knees, stop trying to appease, love people like HE did, even the least of these…If you can’t get past their appearance, you’re part of the disease……It’s not what you believe that makes you better it’s your behavior…however…I digress, wishing you the very best, in your quest to find peace and happiness

Disappointment

DISAPPOINTMENT
My heart is breaking because of you but I keep it all inside…
Don’t wanna kill your vibe, or maybe it’s my pride.  
Hours turn into days, days into weeks with no word from you. 
I get to a place where I’m done; then I get a random “I love you”…
I’m so confused…you starve me until I’m almost dead…then you throw me some bread?...
you should’ve let me die instead…wish I could turn off these thoughts in my head.  Constant disappointment changes your perspective…
If you just give my heart back I swear next time I’ll be more selective

Relationship Status:

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Bond
No evidence on Facebook …Take off the title and how do you feel?  
Others don’t know… …do you care still?
Options screaming but they have zero appeal…
That’s when you know it’s real….They say if you love someone give them the option to leave but never a reason to…
It’s not about who knew…but what Yall been thru…how you grew…
who was there when you withdrew cause your life felt like a zoo? 
Who was there for your personal debut of the new you? Where was the crew? Not even your fam or anybody off a pew even had a clue…
just you two… Take away the BIND and all you have is the BOND…
time…distance even silence…and Beyond
No need to respond

I Still Write

I Still Write

You touch my heart without using your hands
I have no one to tell who really understands
If I love you in silence, there’s no rejection…
Confession: my love, my obsession… suppression is causing depression… forced into no expression….for the sake of visual perception
If I adore you from a distance I won’t get hurt
If I hold you in my dreams, they never have to end
If I kiss you in the wind, it doesn’t feel like pretend
I wanna treat the space between us like… a sacred distance between the stars
This space feels  insurmountable tho…guess no one’s ever been to Mars
Sometimes my pen helps me to let go…Other times, I don’t know
Love you can’t outgrow...So If I have to carry it…
I wanna do it like a pro…that’s why I still write
