Beautiful, bold,brilliant, black. Behind bars, bankrupt, bloodthirsty, black. Only a few commit crimes, Yet my whole race is attacked. Death certificates always forget to add a fact These boys, they're black, And that's all there really is to that. Seen as thugs and cops only see that, Hoodies on, face down, oh no, it's a threat! Who cares if he was just mourning the death Of his grandfather, brother, cousin or lover, Who cares about his story, His dark complexion screams felony. And because of that, a boy's dead at 17. And they wonder why the graduation rates are dropping. Framing the fallen angel as someone he didn't want to be, On the tv screens for the majority to see, For the majority to believe that this was meant to be. But to me and my black community, Black is beautiful, bold and brilliant. These murderers on paid leave may tell you something different, And I know that line is controversial but please hear me out and listen, I'm a black teen in 2019 surprisingly still living, And for those who unjustly died, I'll voice my opinion.

I guess I'm disrespectful for this
Somethings in those coffee brown eyes It's the way you stare, nothing can compare The way those hands roam my body like we were sculpted together Those secret places were meant for you And you only I've never felt so selfish If a girl came at you I swear I'd hurt a ***** And I'm scared because I know I actually mean it Theres something **** in those eyes Your ***** words leave me surprised With you, I truly feel alive I never thought I could get as high Without taking something I'm addicted to you I'm obsessed with me and you I dont know but something about you gives me euphoric clues About spending forever with you I normally dont think like this but **** baby I really really like you That sleepy **** deep voice You look me in the eyes and call me baby That **** cancels out all the noise Because of you I forgot about the other boys **** last year all I wanna do is be with you Holding your hand **** gives me sanity The way you spot me in a crowd I finally found him I found the ******* boy I've wanted And while you were in Glendale I was in the city by the sea Waiting impatiently for our worlds to meet

My man had me paint his nails but because he's a ***** Yall look at him like his heart's frail Is there a problem if it is? He cries and is emotional But that cant be appropriate Because he's black he can't not live like this But we don't really care

Your energy makes me go mad I've never met someone so **** similar The way you look at me like I'm gold Your deep attractive calming voice It gives me comfort and sanity I feel like you could sing me to sleep Or tell me sweet little nothings You treat me like a princess Something every father wants their daughter to feel like The way you smile oh my god I just want to say something stupid to hear that laugh Again and again It's something about you You're the reason the sky is so blue Most of my days now consist of me thinking about you And trust me I'm not complaining Every Frank Ocean song I hear now I think of you and I Hanging out at the park playing "self control" Cuddling and hearing "moon river" I feel like I'm thinking too far but I dont wanna backtrack I really hope you're okay with that I hope we can go together to hear Tyler rap You're too cool and you don't even know it I'm starting to like you if you haven't noticed

He never responds He told me I'm pretty but he never responded For a whole year I kept thinking what I did wrong Why did I get ghosted

I shuffled into the decades old building The dark velvety purple chairs lined up The smell of oil and dust from the books stacked up in symmetrical rows seap into the four corners of the room The walls were supposed to make you feel hope and comfort But not on that day, not ever again since 2010 "Put your head down" my mother whispered strictly into my ear As we collectively pass the opened church doors But being the stubborn Taurus I am I had to look up out of curiosity Despite my mother's firm grip trying to keep my neck down Beyond the aisle separating the two sides of the church she lied In her delicate creamy white casket Her eyelids closed shut for her mahogany irises will never be seen again Her slightly chapped lips in a tight line I'll never hear her nicknames for me Those lips will never part The mornings with salty noodles and streaming phineas and ferb The afternoons watching judge Judy The reading together, the joking around Gone Gone Gone For the great aunt I share those moments with lies helplessly in a casket soon to be buried Only I have those memories now

Unexcused Absence
Being alone makes me cry Being alone makes my pride die a bit inside Being alone tears up my insides Because when I'm alone I realize That I'm just as much of a loner as I was in 9th grade The only difference is that my hairs a different color And I have friends to hang out with But are they truly my friends Can I confide in all of them? I don't know But I'm still grateful for them Because during the school day I gain a bit more confidence But that sisterly love I don't know man I think I'll find that when I'm in college

The 3rd quarter
Boys. They know how to unclasp a bra strap, but they can't open a door. Boys. They can't call you beautiful, but they'll make you tell them their worth

Boys
You make everything seem like I do it on purpose Maybe it's because you're a middle child and you crave the attention I forget to do something one time And you throw your rage unto me You lose all sense of sanity Your anger towards me forces my environment to be silent I'm forced to endure your ****** off hums Another Christian rock song All because of the fact That I forgot to vacuum last night You say you don't ask for much from me But I guess that translates to I must be perfect I don't know how to be I'm sorry its 70 degrees and I just want to wear a hoodie Literally the small things I do to you point out Then you go insane like a clown You say I don't care about what you say But if I didn't give a **** I'd have my own place
