Sisters, We are in trouble Overwhelmed by reality We choose to sleep Being awake is painful true But what else would you choose? Disconnected with the truth Disillusioned with "inclusion" But when we as women chose to stand With other women Away from our brethren We undermined our people Their problems weren't ours Respect in our households and communities was never the problem But now we're truly included In the reign of terror By the hegemony that we were never actually excluded from So now while we've branched off Into this group and that Engulfed in the rainbows, weaves, ****** objectification, drugs and popular culture We are sleep crawling To our extinction It is better to live through pain I n order to achieve gain Than to nap through life Never understanding your greatness It is time to rise and return home

ALARM
It's impossible to me How you can't see Or maybe just wont admit to me That your attentions Are divided disproportionately It is what it is and I am in no way green to what I signed up for I am a grown woman But I beseech you please Don't lie about it A pill is still hard to swallow Even when called another name Yet the unease and doubt Just before it hits your stomach and after it leaves your veins Cannot be chased When words don't mirror actions How do you plead your case? That your actions are reaction to my action? I guess we shouldn't admit your action creates my disposition How about we just avoid the whole situation And throw out the prescription

No Name
I need you to be sick without me Because this is what the thought of without you does to me. I need you to mentally replay our encounters conversations and videos Because this is what I do when I can't talk to you. I need you to taste me before seeing me because I always feel and taste you. I need you to hear my voice when I'm not around. Because I'm tired of feeling crazy about you. I need you to understand that the little things you do are always noticed and they all have little shrines in my mind. I need you to know that I'm an attention ***** and although I like to share sometimes I want to be stingy with your time. I need you to know that when you're upset with me. I feel needles in my chest and I can't breathe it’s an incredibly slow burn. I need to know Do you truly love me to the depths that I love you? Can your truly promise your desire and passion won’t fade? Will you always be my best friend? Will I be yours till the end? Because if you can’t answer yes to all of my requests. Then my love is in vain, And you should leave me alone And hope for the impossibility That my love will wane.

Is the Feeling Mutual?
I just wanna be there while you're in your deepest despair to make you smile brightens my week when it comes to you I get so weak making you laugh sends me on a euphoric bend a feeling I never want to end if only I could transfer my joy the ultimate goal of my ploy but diffusion isn't the only way to transfer energy so I opt to smother your face in kisses with the full intention of making you smile but as soon as my lips leave your skin your smile fades and I'm at the drawing board again we both know its nothing physical I could do regardless, I'll do what I have to don't you know for you, I'd cut myself open if that's what it took for you to feel comfortable enough to open up to me like a book so i can be your shawman and heal the layers of wounds and scar tissue they left all over you something you never have to worry about from me I'd hurt myself to help you but please don't thank me because I'm selfish you see I just want you to brighten my week

PULL YOU THROUGH
So delicate and ripe Fruit waiting to be picked I can smell the sweetness Before I even dive in So excited the anticipation Has me famished And us both leaking So earnest in my approach My descent seems snails pace Spreading her open wide Caressing those thick buttery thighs My moans haven't developed yet So all I can do is sigh As I plant delicate kisses along each thigh Tongue tracing the curves of her love Nuzzling my nose in her fresh mound Inhaling the intoxicating essence This meal may stick to my ribs Running my tongue along get dripping cavern Such a sweet drink Sweeter than my dream My thirst has been ignited As I envelope her between my lips I feel her pearl throb and twitch My tongue can't resist And as much as i try to pace myself I become ravenous for her nectar desperate for her taste vice grip on her hips Caught in a frenzy Oblivious to her moans, cries sighs and thrashing Her libido is no match for my palate

GORGE
Learning the mystery May be a feat Reminiscent of pulling teeth It can be time consuming But never in vain Because if you can ever be trusted To understand without judgement The reward can be so sweet usually more than the average can handle From passion, compassion and loyalty We are indeed valuable companions Definitely worth the effort and patience Because we don't offer information And even when you ask Initially trying to get to know us Our answer will accomplish Only half the task Because growing up we learned what not to say Definitely the hard way Exposing our interior and Shedding our hard exoskeleton Is a thought beyond terrifying And a task that is quite daunting Revealing a membrane underneath As intrinsic and complex As it is delicate and fragile Attempts to damage or injure Can prove beyond fatal For the venom used against you Is comprised of fermented resentment From the cumulative pain you've inflicted used with lethal precision on Your insecurities, pain, and pride drawn from Information that you provide The easiest way to avoid heinous defeat Is via honesty, loyalty and Through the words and promises you keep Most chose not to heed a warning so distinct And are horrified When the revenge exacted is so succinct

SCORPIONES
The manifest has been written And she will be sought But when I meet her face to face How will she react? With a simple embrace? She's so beautiful Smooth skin and a sweet grimace She's always fresh and sharply dressed It's been so long that I've dreamed her Yet her image is so vivid in my mind So many times I thought I could just reach out and grab her Only to awaken to a disappearing mirage But alas dreams become reality And I feel like a groupie around her celebrity Unsure if she's aware of my quiet insecurity Even though I've dreamed Do I deserve to be here? But she merely smiles As she beckons me closer With each step I pinch myself To make sure I truly exist Just as soon as I reach her I close my eyes and enjoy the ride Her embrace is like a sweet kiss to my pride Humbling me effectively Causing my soul to smile and shine Radiating like new armor I open my eyes to drink in my newfound skin And like magic she is gone once again And then I realize She is finally part of me And no longer is reality only in my dreams

DESTINY
Monotonous subject matter Am I truly talented If I mainly write from pain? Passion inspires talent And emotions fuel passion So the product of my passion Should be fire But I feel the heat leaving And now I'm cold Frost bitten by the stares and blank looks When I've finished reading Or they've closed my book Can't they see my blood through the ink? Isn't it an obvious cry for understanding? Why do I even crave to be understood I should just be satisfied with being heard But just because you hear me Doesn't mean you feel me And if you don't feel me How can you begin to understand The complexity within So much of my life has been spent shunning my emotions and passions That now that I've accepted And embraced, I'm eager for you to as well Excuse my enthusiasm because Every moment not understood and embraced Feels like my existence is diminishing And worse than rejection Is complacency in the face of nullification

UNTITLED
If today I died I wouldn't be sad or mad Void of life I doubt I would feel at all But surprisingly I'm ready Not to end life as I know it But if it were over I might actually feel glad Glad that feeling is no longer a necessity Feeling love or any other pain monger If love is the cause Pain is almost always guaranteed to be the effect When there's no more joy in feeling What's the point of living So yes I'm ready To let go of pain And all things leading to it True I haven't accomplished much And definitely not everything I wanted But what's the point in trying When the simplest of feelings Seems to always remain unattainable And being happy feels more like a facade or job Than a blessed emotion

ABDICATION
Seeking shelter during the storm It’s not as simple as a run Much more complicated than a fight After all, how do you fight life? With the will to live? The idea is to survive But the goal is to evolve Me and my resolve Proving to myself and the world Better yet **** the world It brings me problem after problem All due to trivial delusions That I have always left in the past But just as I pass Something jumps up to bite me in the *** How much strength do I truly need? The God they all fear Doesn’t seem to believe in me After all what’s the sense in blind faith When all I see is pain Maybe it expects more of me Stop smoking **** Or maybe even to believe But I can’t seem to hold on to that I go to believe And seem to be dragged further into hell
