They say love is blind
but my melanin is not
because black skin was all that was present
when george lost his life to a cop
black stood out
when we said our lives matter
black is all they see
when injustice leaves our brains splattered
you can’t justify racism
with “i don’t see color”
because this isn’t just my skin
it’s my culture
it’s all i have left
my only sort of identity
if you don’t see my blackness
you don’t see me

Dear Police,
My skin color isn’t a weapon
Although it seems like blackness
Is a gun in a white man’s perception
We are amazing
But don’t get enough time to show it
My brain functions as good as yours
Until you use your gun to blow it
How one black person acts
Shouldn’t ruin my reputation
You purposely attack my kind
And that’s the definition of discrimination
If you just let us live
You’d learn we are plentiful
But what you really don’t understand is
My black is beautiful.

The flowers bloom throughout
Spreading spring essence
Giving all peace deep inside

A tree deep into the forest
alone in the woods
Roots deeply rooted
Keeping it in place
It wants to flow with the leaves
To a populated place
With beautiful greenery
And more branches than it’s own
A place that smells like timber
With thousands of saplings
for company .

My mind left my body
Leaving it brain dead
It still has a heart
But what’s the use of a heart
Without a head

Lift the sail
And go
Never come back
Never look back
Take the River of Freedom
Into the Sea of Dreams
Where sky's the limit
With no memories
Of the Past
No set destination
but a planned out journey
Where
The only love
Is between
The sea and I
With it's majestic water
filling the blood in my veins
Filling the missing pieces in my heart.
Lift the sail
And go
Never come back
Never look back
Never bringing the broken me back.

Dear beautiful evergreen
rooted down in the field
strongly upholding itself
like it has an impenetrable shield
The one that has experienced blazing summers
and freezing winters
not only seen warfare
but watched it from the center
winds blew it west and east
but it never went left or right
had blood on its leaves
but never got into a fight
Dear beautiful evergreen
That stands there all yearlong
keep your roots rooted
and continue to be strong

I’m gasping for air
But there is no air to grasp onto
Begging for someone to care
But that’s something they won’t do
They watch as life pours out
And as my blood drains
Making it’s way about
Surrounding me like water in hurricanes
I continue to drown
In this pool of hate
While everybody around
Let it happen without debate
I just want to be loved
I just want to matter
Not to get pushed and shoved
And get thrown away deep without ladders
I’m gasping for air
But there is no air to grasp onto
Begging for someone to care
But that’s something they won’t do

I want you here
But get away
I like you
But hate your guts
You’re my light
But also bring the darkness
Hi

Just put the bottle down
Before your liver turns black
Stop drowning in your sorrows.
Face them instead
Staying sober won’t **** you
It’ll do the opposite
Cause your drinking
It’s not just hurting your insides
It’s also hurting mine
