45/F Hello. I enjoy writing short stories and poetry.
And from those ashes I blew     Into a man formed like you      Flowing through his fingertips      The light of this world       And from his rib and by his     side a helpmate        She will begin her journey         With him         Guided footsteps, never seen         By eye's of those who fail to          Believe!

You choose the path but lose your map Forget to do the math, subtracting everything from you Becomes your aftermath You bathe in a bath filled with wrath Brazing, burning desires all soaked into in your calves Leaves your skin scorned from drying off with sandpaper Bouts of depression, anxiety you fight everyday Just to get up out of bed, feels like a tomb being lifted away Mind, is tormented, wires disconnect Finding who you are in a world of rejection

If you know me, then you know what I like No dipping of the finger For a quick taste or bite I am with the frills and the lace Many consider it to be in good taste You may not like the pinks and pastel colors as much as me Or the brightness of yellow sun dresses on a warm summer day That's where we are different And that's okay too I am a fluttering butterfly and you   A proud cockatoo That's why I do me and you do you!

"Girly"
They call me wimpy because I don't like fight My muscles not as tone as a wrestlers body Cute in the face, but not considered a hottie Well, Iam a wimp Ask those still here Because I prefer schedules over random parties Or is it I have order in my life that You fail to make time for Chaos and drama are not in my plans, humbleness keeps me real Let the coolness of my calm persona, be a breeze for you and your drama Happiness lives within me I glide as though walking on clouds Proud to be the wimp that I am!

Me (wimpy)
I wonder why my poetry is different I wonder why I cry at some verses and laugh on the inside at others I wonder why it hurts me when I see others get beat I wonder why my tears are clear and not colored I wonder why Iam afraid of my sons to grow up I wonder why my heart flutters, everytime one of them walks thru the door I wonder why I can never truly say "goodbye" when leaving I wonder why there is no loyalty in law Is it because, I write from my pain and grieve my ancestors demise Is it because my thoughts run so fast, that not even the paper can hold them Is it because I know that raising a hand takes more strength than two arms to hug Is it because my pain has no color or melanin Is it because images of their future is unforseen at times Could it be that you are happy to see them or just happy they are still alive Is it because "goodbye" symbolizes ending and we still have so much to do Is it because loyalty requires justice to be seen and heard

Q and A (questions& answers)
Deeper than the oceans sea caves Heart-strings unattached, bleeding love into the words I speak Giving more than just my thoughts But passionate kisses of sweet memories blowing in the wind Catch them whenever you see me again

I am..
I really despise those signs that read Stop    Stop what? Stop living, stop breathing, stop get off my neck Everything has to stop Crying, laughing, running away from something,  cars on the street Everything has to stop Stop shooting my brothers Stop murdering our sons Stop putting us in a box Stop calling us out of our name Stop reporting us Stop thinking you're right because you have a gun Stop pretending to be like us Stop, stop, stop Now you put your hands up!

Signs
A life lost to senseless cause      Or is it effect, that you forgot       To put yourself in check        Before you brush your teeth        Lay your clothes out for the next day Did you check in with yourself? Self check? Sanity check? Mental health check? On my grind check? Good choices check? Which box did you forget to put That x that marks the spot That people pleasing attitude   You are not    That try me today look on your face Or that I don't need this trouble    With a side of total disgrace    Check on you before you do anything Am I always right? Do I really have to fight? Why am I angry at my boss? What keeps me awake during the night? My dreams, my fears, reminders of what's to come   Moving forward means I have to    Maintain My sanity, my focus, my thoughts and my hands

Self check?
I am an old can, expired way past my open date Fresh is not a word I would use to describe me or my pain Maybe blunt or numbing or agonizing Could be a part of my new recipe for life, for living You see, this old can, has been in the same shelf for last few months and today out of all the **** days out of a year She decides to open me up I'm sour, ugly rotten inside til my core my juices; they clump when she began to pour me out No doubt, I was ready six months ago or maybe even 2019 But now, she can't even enjoy my the sweetness of my whole, golden, buttery flavored goodness Tosses me like nobody's business, And yells, "we out of corn" **** I was happier in the back, with The spam

Shelf life
Iam energy, Iam time wrapped up in a bowl of fruit Sweetness is the taste of my lips, my eyes using my collosal mind to grip Where I slip into a downward spiral, deeper than the underwater caves, darker sleepless nights turn into long Crying days Puffy, sweaty, Im just like a blow fish, ready to pop! I need my strength, to rise back to the top To breathe again, gasping for air, I choke, cough a little(tiny air bubbles pop) Nothing changes, but the time I go back in for another dive
