21/M/American Only thing worse than death is a regret filled coffin
I write this for the people struggling with reality For those finding out the space between fiction and faith is huge Sometimes life forces you to open your eyes at inopportune times Time that you feel like should be focused elsewhere I'm writing this in a struggle with anxiety I want everything accomplished now I want the people around me better now The process of building this foundation eats at me I have to take a step back and enjoy life The only thing that stands still, vanishes, and passes you by at once People you have to realize the person who was your crutch isn't returning They aren't coming back You have to realize some people are staying no matter the force of separation Open your eyes YOU have a LOT to be grateful for Enjoy the process while you can Enjoy blossoming because some leaves are close to falling Enjoy I find peace in knowing I'm a healer I find destruction in knowing people need my healing Why Can't They Open Their Eyes Strength doesn't come from planning around things you know Strength comes from looking uncertainty in the face and starting a conversation Nobody is strong We're all weak to some degree Some battles tougher than others This is why networking is paramount My parables of pain deserve peace So do yours There is peace in getting through the trauma Some journeys you have to take alone You've taken on enough of others stress Relax for once Think About Yourself If you're struggling as well, sit back and realize all the good you've caused Realize how favored you are You're blessed!

As the opportunities arise, I grow impatient Wanting greatness ever so quick Anxiety sets in Living in a cycle wondering is this it I see fear as failing every area regularly I wasn't born to be regular I know I'm great but am I prepared for the next step Am I truly ready I believe I am I used to have faith I used to have hope Then one day I realized why should I hope for things that I know If I know it's going to get done Why stress it Why not sit back and appreciate the blessings You know, slow down and smell the roses Seems like I blinked and 5 years went by How did I end up here No How did I start up here Am I great Or am I just like everybody else Not knowing what's next or what's left When partners fade away and your journey becomes singular I think I'm just as scared as everybody else The unknown can make you that way Lingering wonders of daily ideas Game plans of my immediate future I remember the dark days so vividly Not feeling like this was real Like everything was make believe Do I really understand the powers I have Am I underestimating myself Me The cordial pep talker The one who shines light into everyone else's day Am I really doubting what I can do What's wrong with me No What's right with me Does it matter if I'm wrong or right Is that type of caring a sign of life Why do I want to be great so bad What does that gain for me Will I use my powers for selfishness or for promotion of others Alot of these answers I KNOW But why is it so hard to act on these answers Will I continue to cause inexcusable damage Will I continue to cross the Atlantic for bridge burners Why haven't I settled down Are my standards too high When my opportunities continue to arise will I take them in stride Where's my pride I know what I am I'm great I'm chosen I'm ready Greatness awaits me

Fear of Greatness
As the opportunities arise, I grow impatient Wanting greatness ever so quick Anxiety sets in Living in a cycle wondering is this it I see fear as failing every area regularly I wasn't born to be regular I know I'm great but am I prepared for the next step Am I truly ready I believe I am I used to have faith I used to have hope Then one day I realized why should I hope for things that I know If I know it's going to get done Why stress it Why not sit back and appreciate the blessings You know, slow down and smell the roses Seems like I blinked and 5 years went by How did I end up here No How did I start up here Am I great Or am I just like everybody else Not knowing what's next or what's left When partners fade away and your journey becomes singular I think I'm just as scared as everybody else The unknown can make you that way Lingering wonders of daily ideas Game plans of my immediate future I remember the dark days so vividly Not feeling like this was real Like everything was make believe Do I really understand the powers I have Am I underestimating myself Me The cordial pep talker The one who shines light into everyone else's day Am I really doubting what I can do What's wrong with me No What's right with me Does it matter if I'm wrong or right Is that type of caring a sign of life Why do I want to be great so bad What does that gain for me Will I use my powers for selfishness or for promotion of others Alot of these answers I KNOW But why is it so hard to act on these answers Will I continue to cause inexcusable damage Will I continue to cross the Atlantic for bridge burners Why haven't I settled down Are my standards too high When my opportunities continue to arise will I take them in stride Where's my pride I know what I am I'm great I'm chosen I'm ready Greatness awaits me

Hi gorgeous, I haven't met you yet but I've known you for a life time I think about you 24/7 through the day and night time I came here to talk because I know you'll listen You gave me the type of gift that doesn't come on Christmas The proudest moment of my life The happiest I'll ever be And I'll shield you from the world and make sure that you'll never be Tainted Stained by the evil we call life I lost your Aunt and saw nothing but darkness And the thought of you brings me light I can't wait to meet you baby girl I'm so excited I don't even know your name yet I'll be there every step of the way, from first steps, to framed awards I'll be there when you're bored or when you're feeling discouraged Dad will be there to give you some courage I'm here to make sure you achieve everything you aspire for To be ions better than me You're so pure I can't believe I made you Whenever you're falling down I'll always be there to save you I'll fight the world for my baby girl Just to see your smile will make it worthwhile As I'm writing this, I'm shedding tears of joy I never knew I could make someone so perfect The happiest moment of my life As I get closer to meeting you I become more nervous I know I'm not perfect but you are You deserve nothing less than a perfect father A guideline to steer you to greatness Someone to lay the foundation to your road to greatness I knew you before you did Crazy right? I really love you little one I daydream about you smile everyday Please don't smile at me baby You'll make your Dad melt away I don't think I can take that type of pressure And I'll make sure your parents get it together Little one I'll have your back until your little ones have little ones I promise I'll never leave you helpless I'll always be here for you I love you little one

Is she my heaven When I'm at war with the world is she my weapon My support my light Someone that I can one day call wife Or is she my hell Someone that has me so blinded that I can't see the spell Fools gold A fast lane addict trying to suggest for me to move slow Is she an angel or demon Is she the source of my happiness Someone to comfort me when the stress is too stressful Or maybe she's someone I give *** to Is she the source of my anger Blaming me for the **** that she caused Or maybe she found me to change the fact that she's lost Is she an angel or demon Am I the only one that gives joy to her day Or is she on games like she's in an arcade Maybe she's a demon and I'm the devil Maybe not Maybe I'm a pirate and she's treasure Maybe not Maybe she's vibrant and need pleasure Maybe so But what's crazy though Is that maybe taking the good with the bad is what makes us whole?

An angel or demon
Her mystery involves history Reading people, adding 2 and 2 to see if she has chemistry With another person, who's views are shaped the same so that she can see the symmetry But in the past I've seen more legs than a guy who studies centipedes But eventually a mystery will begin to see solutions And the man she fell in love with is having some confusion About who she really is and so he came to his conclusion That his woman is a puzzle, trying to replace a piece with peace But his piece of peace was impeached by the thoughts that she would cheat So he tries to tame the beast with a leash but the anger is released He didn't know his wife had slept with strangers on the street. A building built on lies disguised with *** with plenty guys And then she acts surprised and plays the victim with her eyes See the Mystery is not because her history is one that wasn't sinless But her history was a mystery for a time portrayed as endless.

The Mystery in Her History
I am a ***** Minus the triggers being pulled and the drugs being sold But just a black man bold enough to face a world so cold A cold world we call society When being black and sobriety doesn't mix because we use drugs in variety But quietly I am a ***** Thinking what made this word so negative Is it because we made it positive Or is it negative we became cognitive enough for a scholarship Yes, I am a ***** no I'm not a rapper But this system makes me sick enough for chicken soup and crackers Yes, I am a ***** and I am an athlete And I still maintain my sanity from having my *** beat Although I am a ***** I am not lesser than you Nor am I second to you I just wonder what it takes to get the message to you Crazy I'm a ***** yet I still know my father Crazier calling me a ***** doesn't give me a bother Maybe it's crazy that I'm a part of the problem What's craziest is I'm a ***** still attending a college You should have no problem reading this regardless of race What's absurd is a word means more than a face We're more focused on race than we are as a species But I'm going to sit back and take a sip of this sweet tea We went from black panthers, huge bushes, picks, and combs I thought words could never hurt you? What happened to sticks and stones?

I Am A *****
Some people can't handle it Leaving your comfort zone straight to being depressed When your feelings get dismantled And all you feeling now is *** You no longer connect So you shoot her that "text", in the night, Like "I'm moving on to the next, I'm tired of the stress I wish you the best" And now she can't sleep, can't get her no rest Because you was her future, and now you just like the rest Then you tell her "be blessed" Now she calling you foul, here come two shots from the ref Turn into shots of patron Turn into drunken nights, she sleep in your sweater because it still reeks of cologne And now you're alone Because you're tired of the break ups, the make ups, and fake bluffs, when you make love Man I hate love It's like you go from a great love,  it hits you like a date drug Out of nowhere Now it's no air, because you're suffocating from fake love. Surrounded by females that say they want you and then proceed to give fake hugs Go from having ***** *** you get her wet, then you talk ***** so much dirt you can make mud But it's safe to say, **** LOVE, leave them feelings in the rubber Because now it's **** love until you fallen for another.

The Break Up
Being with a Goddess is like, a dive in a pool on a hot day, or like a coat in a harsh winter. It's like it's crazy when the same person can cool you off yet keep you warm. It's crazy how you find your self staring at a women for a weird amount of time, daydreaming about your future together. I mean like, you're already in her presence but you're dreaming about being in her presence again and again. It's like you find the one and become obsessed, but are blessed enough that the feelings are mutual. It's like staring into all the good things that you give the world. Which makes you want to give the world. It's like have you ever become obsessed with someone's scent, or can you just hear their voice on repeat in your head laughing at corny jokes you may have said. It's like being obsessed so bad that you go to bed talking to her, dream about her, and then search for her the first thing in the morning. It's like her skin resembles vanilla, so smooth, so taunting, so enticing, makes you just want to bring her pleasures. It's like she has the treasure and I'm the captain of a ship that's just lost afloat in an ocean you call her eyes. It's like no lies can disguise the fact that you fly everytime you see her eyes. It's like you become infatuated with her curves. From her smile to her thighs to her eyes when they squint up from that annoying little laugh she has. It's like looking in her pupils are dangerous, leaving you intoxicated, unfunctional even. I don't know man it's like these things are unexplainable. Like trying to explain feelings that are uncontainable. Being with a Goddess is amazing, but she's more like a Genie how she makes your wishes come true. And how you want to tell her come through so you can make her *** two to three times within 30 minutes. But the *** life is a story that I will leave unfinished.

No man alive can tell what her eyes have seen Only the right man can recognize the sorrow That hopeless vast look not caring if she lived to see tomorrow See the crazy thing is that the eye of the storm is calm But yet the storm in her eyes is ferocious Her eyes show a darkness that's deeper than the oceans See they say the eyes is the window to the soul But yet them same eyes show that her soul went cold See her eyes over flow with passion then flood with extensive tears So she cover her eyes with expensive shades to hide expensive fears See her eyes can't disguise the phony **** her smile shows Until the day her eyes saw her husband now her smile glows

Her Eyes
The life of a roach is never glorified. Much like the life of a Black man or woman. In which 50 of us die, and the next 50 have children while they're children. We could never have a meal, we succumb to the crumbs of society. In the dark with our friends eating quietly. It's like the black race was destined to be a roach. Either you're coached to conform or you smoke until a roach. It's like nobody care about the birth of a roach. Maybe it's the color or the way that they look. While it's ironic that roaches reside in a black house. They'll never make it in the white house. Because that system is so clean that a "roach" would get wiped out. It's like the roach is petrified by the butterfly whites. Never could eat a steak, a lot of pb & j on butter knife nights. It's crazy because even Blacks don't like roaches. But it seems blacks don't like blacks either, a sickness in need of a potion. It's even crazier that this is nothing about a roach. But it's more about a race, that's ended by a rope. Called a noose and then a chain, to make a change for the pain. When the slave system got better than what we overcame. How could you hit or stop what you eyes can't see? While it's ironic how they blind us with TV. Is it a system that can sense that we're a threat. When the police war is heating up, and we're the ones with the sweat. While we either selling a rock or dishing a rock. And even athletes get locked up so youth don't listen to cops. While you blame the blacks for picking a lock. While filthy society said it was clean by blaming roaches for missing a crop. And the craziest thing is the death of a roach too numerous to care about. Much like the blacks when we march on a racial death, while the other deaths aren't shared about. While that black boy went missing, nobody knew of his whereabouts. How do you beat a system half of us aren't aware about?
