I was once a seed tossed away to the side of the concrete until you paved a place for me to stay. You dug into the dirt. You watered my soul. I was once a seed, now I am a rose.

Rose from the Concrete
As a lover, she is a warrior but not in the way you think. She does not use knives nor blades. She uses patience and understanding as her weapons. She fights with her heart until it stops beating. Her heart is made of shield. As a fighter, she heals.

There is beauty in the simplicity of saying, I want you. Sometimes, that is all I want to hear.

Simplicity
. It is true, you are totally right. I'm as dry as a desert, I'm a dead empty land. I used to be a  jungle  when  the  clouds where by my side, and now that they are gone, my trees, my dreams they dried and died. Because of this, nothing grows inside of me, there is only silence and despair. I can't feel what  I  write,  I  barely  feel alive I want to feel human again Oh god, I really miss the rain

Void
You come in different shades, waves, feels… How you make me feel you… Blue Blue you are the first one I see on a sunny day. Blue like the sky counting the puffy white clouds shaped like sheep, Blue like the blues that skip the rhythm of the beat, Blue like the sea, with waves extending your range. How many lives bask in your glory? Blue- Ah, how many ways I can feel you.

Blue
Speak my peace- Euros, pesos, and money lust. Chambered living, Hustling to get out the crust, Frustrated in time. Golden coins wait for no one. We seek above our pay grade, With our Diploma’s in check but, the amount of schooling does not reflect the time spent in a broken living. Restricted by the cards laid on our deck, Born rich, live rich- But how many of us rise above poverty? There is a system to this. Chasing a dream to catch, Suppressed by the gold and silver. Working all the time- When do we live? Like the job we have Is the place where we were born, Calling it our home. Money manipulating our minds Making us lose ourselves. Paper green consistency, Measured by the piece. Speaking my peace- Who to trust when money’s spent? Greed for green cause consistent evil within societies. Fortune equals fraud. We hustle hard for an assimilated living. Money makes us make moves. I hold no doubts, That through the pyramid structure of economic range, I will cruise, I will elevate, Because I, see I Will break my chains. We have one life to live, One life to be in the presence. So bread will not make me a brawler, I will not be enslaved by a dollar.
