you have been on my mind lately.

i think about you constantly.
you.
you're in my dreams.
you.
you're in my prayers.
you.
i just can't seem to let go of-
you.

i'm searching.
searching for you in a crowd of people.
searching for your soul out of all of them.
searching for that light that drew me to you when we first met.
where did you go?
where is the soul that once captured mine?
where is that light?
i'm searching.
but i'm beginning to lose hope.

dear young black girls,
i'm sorry that you cannot turn on the TV and see black female role models.
i'm so sorry that you are constantly being shamed for your natural features.
sorry that you're constantly under the pressure to comply with eurocentric beauty standards.
your skin color is a blessing.
your hair is beautiful.
do not change anything about yourself for the sake of the way society views you.
dear young black boys,
i'm sorry that your constantly seen as a threat to those around you.
i'm so sorry that you cannot gather in in a group with all of your peers without the fear that you're going to be accused of doing wrong.
sorry that society will someday see you as a "deadbeat dad" and someone who won't be able to provide for himself, much less his family.
your skin color is beautiful.
ignore everyone, keep up the good work, you will be successful.
you bleed the same color as every other human being on this planet and i am so sorry that has not yet been recognized after how many years?
irrelevant.
you are loved, you are wonderful, you are talented, you are unique.
follow your dreams.
be ambitious.
fight for your beliefs.
stand your ground.
justice will be served.
change will come.

stay with me.
turn off your phone.
put your watch down.
inhale.
stay with me.
hold my hand and tell me everything is okay.
kiss my cheeks and tell me i'm beautiful.
exhale.
stay with me.
turn the music up a little.
get under the covers with me.
i love you.
please don't leave me.

I crave real love.
That "let's build our future together" type love.
That "Nobody's perfect, but you're flawless to me" type love.
I want that "grab my face and kiss me in front of everyone" type love.
Real love.
Sharing secrets between sheets love.
Introducing family members love.
That kind of love that regardless of how far apart you may be, you're still able to say that every ounce of that person belongs to you and only you.
Comfortable with or without clothes type love.
That "Call me because I miss your voice" love.
I'm looking for my true love.
The love who keeps me warm on winter nights.
The love that tells me he loves me even when I'm at my worst.
I hope to find that love soon.
Or maybe I already have.
Because I'm nothing without you.

There's this really great girl
But for all I know,
She is gone long past the time
That the clock reads
Deep into the alley way
I say, she's got quite a smile
But you know when you don't that you can't stop moving
Because to her, Miserable is more like it
If she wanted to,
She'd be the heir to the throne
If I knew she could,
She'd walk this world on her own
But you know when you don't that you can't stop moving
Because to her, Miserable is more like it
Miserable is more like it, for her
