Music,
your music,
every song has once remended you of another girl,
another relationship,
in another time.
Songs of sweet love,
and never giving up,
songs of hope,
and romance.
I would listen with you,
but couldn't help but know,
that it was another,
they
were
once
for.
None of those songs are ours,
none define us,
we can not be held in lyrics.
Only pure emotions can describe us,
no group of phrases,
hold
what
one
note
can.
The first song you ever showed me was pure,
it was a new song to you,
as we were,
to each other.
There was no history behind it,
no exes it could remind you of,
no words trying to grasp the concept of love.
Only music.
Only love.
Only us.

I was nothing 24 years ago
what i would become, no one could ever know
2 years later i was nothing but considered a miracle
cultivated in tough realities if i could make that applicable
at the age of 5 still was nothing but i was somewhat talented
moving the way i was no one could ever fathom it
Age 10, i was a role model for my sisters
still nothing but had to be about my dead beat fathers business
he was never there so i had so many things to bear
so i sold dope at 14 to keep all my so called friends near
lost an angel, so i felt like i was nothing without her
15 yrs old and i told very few people about her
18 started making tough choices on my own
21 i actually got the courage to live all alone
Started my own foundation, i conceded temptation
stayed true to my black people in every situation
23 i made a life changing choice
did it as a stepping stone so my kids can have a voice
now im 24 and im still nothing
but i figured i could say a little something
