These men.... I have these men after me. But not like they want to cherish me and love me and make me their wife. It's more like they just want to try to get in deep and have fun for the night. Im trapped by my own beauty. The gift and the curse. There's always one there waiting, each one keeps getting worse. Im losing my vision and maybe even some of my worth. It's time to redefine the line and come out new like at birth. Can't hold me down then don't come around cause I can stand on my own. Im a Queen and there's only room for a true King on this throne. I can't deal with the lies and constant heartbreak. Might need a fence around my **** that reads, "KEEP OUT ALL FAKES" no time to waste, no ***** to give I realize it's not a race. Just take my time, make sure im fine and I know I'll land in my place. Until then I'll just grin and politely ask for my SPACE.

Please give me my space
I find it ironic that i was the one that hated him so much I pushed her to leave Now I'm the only one of his children to share his disease Poking my fingers using needles I bleed I have to be cautious of everything I eat Some call it the sugar but it's better known as diabetes Wishing so badly something would come to free me I feel like a prisoner trapped by my own health You can't buy a cure no matter your wealth I try to convince myself i can deal All the while praying to God to heal Rid me of this pesky yet dangerous disease I'm begging I'm pleading and asking the Lord please Please don't let me pass this to my sons Let it stop with me let me be the last one I've lost too many family members due to this curse I'm watching my father suffer through something even worse I use to want distance from my dad. now seeing my reality i guess i can't be mad This is now what bonds us it makes us distantly close This is an estranged relationship different from most I promise to be better and there for my sons For them I'll keep fighting until this battle is won I'll be to them what he never was to me Caring, involved and judgment free I guess it counts that at least he's trying now I see his ill state and can forgive enough to lessen the stress lines in his brow I'll put the past to rest and give the present my best pray for the future cause life is just a big test

ironic
Who do you call if you can't call the COPS for fear it may be you that ends up unjustly SHOT the systems been BROKEN since before I had life before hooded CRIMINALS rode horseback into the night things have improved but we are far from a fix even today as races are becoming so MIXED there is still this fear that doesn't hold true would you still blame the victim if he looked more like YOU? It seems like a problem that may never be solved half of us working toward CHANGE the rest of us fall fall into the life that perpetuates what they think that we are nothing but thugs that gang bang and drink that way it makes it ok to shoot our MEN like dogs in the street Now is the time in fact it's far over due for all people to stand up and speak the TRUTH

it's time
I met this girl that claimed she didn't want to live It made me think back to when I was a kid I experienced pain like most people do But I always thought to myself this can't all be true Something had to be wrong with this picture I'm seeing I'm yelling so loud but its like no one hears me screaming I look at her face and see the hurt in her eyes I pick my words carefully because I know she has already heard too many lies I want to say something to comfort her pain I know all to well those feelings of shame She said the cutting helps her but I could tell that it didn't She spoke with reassuring words but her eyes read something different She had no idea of the people I've lost They thought taking their own lives was the only way to make it all stop Little does she know the regret they must feel To be gone from their loved ones because they couldn't deal With the pressures life brings everyone has to face it You live and you learn only time can replace it So when I asked her to give it time I was pleading To stop craving the pain and the bleeding Give life a chance because it's passing you by While you sit and you wallow and ask yourself why Some things in this life go unexplained But if you die now it would be in vain Cause all that would be left is a girl without a name

A girl without a name
Sometimes I wish I could go back to when I was a kid again And be blind to this messed up world we're living in But I know this can't be so I do my best to cope Control my impulses before I start to choke On all the frustration I feel building on my throat They got our backs up against the ropes One more push and it's gonna be the final poke It is time we all start to sing a different note We are running out of time it feels like the end is close I'm just trying to make it long enough to watch some grand kids grow I ask the world because I just have to know How long are we gonna hold onto the hate and when can we let it all go Don't tell me this madness will last forever Somebody please tell me it isn't so...
