28/F/Baltimore In a world of chaos, I see the beauty in all around me. Life has been tough. It’s built me up and broken me, put me back on my feet, then uppercutted me in the gut. I’ve learned from the wise and from fools. I regret nothing.
Everyone else, Has theses “normal” kids, They think they are special, When mine really is, You can’t compare or empathize, For what I produced From between my thighs, Has haunted me since his diagnosis, Believing I can help him, But I’m foolish, Every parent is going to need help, I need to admit that, I’m better than no one else.

Shortcomings
I’ve simply lost sight, The landing I can’t see, I can’t find the person, I used to want to be. I woke up one day, Nothing to believe, I live comatose, With nothing to dream.

To All My Lost Dreams
I’m out of touch, Not in the loop, Don’t like celebrities, Don’t know “the scoop”. I’m not cool, I don’t follow trends, I’d rather not gossip, Don’t have any friends. I’m not very popular, There’s no place I fit, If you get to know me, I’m truly a ***** I’m so lame, I don’t know the music of the times, I’d don’t like club or parties, I don’t like waiting in lines. I don’t like feeling different, When I’m in a crowd, Anxiety takes over me, She’s talking so loud. I’ll just bleed in To the walls and decor, I’ll lock myself away, I’ll hide from it all. I just don’t know how to be, How to follow and still say I’m free, Don’t look my way, For ANY sympathy, Everything is sugarcoated. Everything but me.

Sugarcoated Sh**
To all the days, I’ve spent alone, Trapped in my head, Perched on my throne. To all the noises, Inside my head, They shout all night, They want me dead. To all the doubts, That rattle around, They **** me up, Until I drown. To tomorrow, We will see, What you bring, Who I’ll be. Like a feather, I flitter away, To sun kissed daydreams, To glossy eyed memories.

I’ll Take Flight
You ever have so much to say, And no one to listen to you? Have you ever felt your thoughts rushing, Sprinting, exasperating draining *** I have? Do you feel alone at home or out and about, Not a friend nor lover no one or nothing to do? Boredom can cause destruction, Creation can **** boredom. Talk to myself til a story brews I like stories and I like to talk. Walk by myself night or noon, I prefer the moon to guide my walk. Alone? so what have a 3 hour call, My mom and I talk cartoons for an hour alone! Go ahead and quote me, How’s the old saying go? Idle hands are the devil’s workshop, That seems unfair to use idle, To insult a person with a title of sloth, And to quote the Bible too! Everyone doesn’t have a craft, Artist make for everyone, A gift to every patron, Art pleases the big and small, near and far, Z-A.

Idle Ideal Idol
I wanna hold’ ya hand, Tell ya it won’t always feel this way, I wanna tell ya tomorrow will be betta, I wanna make ya believe in today. All the promises will prevail, All ya friends will come through, That you’ll have a happy ending, But my love it’s just not true. So I’ll squeeze ya, Hold  ya close, Tell ya you’re important, *** that’s what we need to hear most. Lookin back I’d tell that girl, “Everything is going to be ok”, Lookin back at that girl, Prayin she’d never become me. Haunted by the memories, That girl I used to be, Tortured by reality, That warped my identity.

To That Girl
Water ripples, wind blows, Water drips, leaf tip, Water quenches, gratefully sip, Water’s evolved, fish, irrigation, canals, and cruise ships. Water water, water! Wat-er, wha-ter, is what her Eyes drip? Moist damp wet water, She cleans the land feeds the soil Water water water! The water is in turmoil! Homes, families, organisms unknown, Water is home. Dolphins and turtles, Plastic bags and six pack strands, Beautiful creatures, Water martyrs. No more are the shores pure. The water is at war. “We should do more” We’ve done enough.

The Water
I want to be pretty, I want to be thin, I wish I was popular, With all the friends. Who am I kidding, I must be joking, I can name all the continents, I’d gladly identify all the oceans. I’m not saying I’d never say it I can’t say The cool kids aren’t smart. I’m just not interested, I don’t like crowds, I can’t follow instructions, I’m not too proud. To say the least, To say to the most, I’m proud to be strange, To odd to quote. You’ll never see another me, Nope you’ll never meet another, If there is someone like me, Send them my way, This lonely bird has no flock, Not a single feather.

I Fly Solo
Everything is moving, Everything is too fast. Life is loosing momentum, Life has become a drag. How do I make the sounds slow down? How can I silence a hunger so loud? When my heart beat resonates like a drum. When my ears are hot they start to erupt. I can’t feel me, I have lost me. Who can hear me? Who can help me? Say I’m enough? Say I’m strong? Inside I feel weak. Outside I don’t belong. How to forget? How to live another day? Stay and fight? Run and escape? What will **** the memories? What will numb the pain? I am alone? I am ok? Is there another way? Is this the end? Can I end it? Can I end it all today? I fight, I live another day?

Be Ok
We come in different varieties, Flavors and portions. Flowers in nature, Growing beautifully, Free, Wild! None of us are too different, None of us the same. Gorgeous sun child! My black never goes out of style.
