I know y’all idolize your dad like he can do no wrong
but it takes a lot of strength & faith to survive for this long
Take a look back at the life I’ve lived, I don’t want that for y’all
struggling to make a penny or every Saturday window shopping in the mall
You’re a King in the making son, don’t let these females toy with your mind
to make you think you’re not good enough to share their time
Your dad was on the prowl when he was younger, don’t you make that same mistake
avoid breaking a woman’s heart & falling for temptation trying to find a replacement
If you learn anything from me, be a better man with morals & characteristics
don’t throw your reel in the ocean until you’re absolutely ready to go fishing
Baby girl, you’re my whole world & your heart is something beyond precious
that I’ll give my life for if someone tries to tarnish such a blessing
Whatever route you take in life, run away from guys like the old me
looking for temporary pleasure to cure the raging hormones of being lonely
When you decide to fall in love, make sure he’s the perfect guy
who inspires you to be the best woman possible & helps you fly
Let no woman or no man treat you any less than what you know you are
your heart can only endure so much pain, let no one create one too many scars
Be the man that took me years to evolve into, don’t ever meet a man like the younger me
don’t fall for looks, let their love cherish you
Be a King & Queen of Oneself, walk your own path but always be better than me

When you read this, I hope you feel my heart
& the things running thru my mind that’s tearing me apart
I’m beyond in love with you but not being able to have you
leads to me falling for lust in hopes of replacing you
Selfish of me to do such a thing to someone who loves me dearly
tried to paint the picture but I still can’t see obviously
I want us to make love like we used to
talk all night like we used to
& even with a million girls around me
with any love available, I’d still choose you
I’m not the perfect man but my intentions mean the best
I have a bad way of showing my love for you, I cause much stress
I’m always texting you when it’s late, that’s when I’m missing you most
cause you’re not laying in my arms where you’re needed most
More than a best friend but less than a lover
still carrying this broken heart that has yet to recover
I want us to love like we used to
I want us to be one like we used to
I want us to be that dream like we used to
Can we let go of the past so you can finally let me love you?

I want more than just a pretty face
I want more than just a curvy waist
I want more than just some pretty eyes
I want a heart that can’t be replaced
I don’t want what every other man has been inside
I don’t want something just to be pushed to the side
I need that type of woman who carries pride in her stride
The type of woman that i can eventually turn into a bride
I don’t need that love that begins good but turns toxic
Don’t need that love that’s mainly involved around arguments
Want that type of love where she’s rooting for my accomplishments
The love where i build an empire with the same love i started wit
Want a woman with intelligence
Want a woman with class & integrity in her inheritance
I want more than just a freak in the sheets
Give me something to admire besides your lips or your cheeks
Be the woman that i can cuddle next to & be at peace
Rub my back or play with my hair, be my source for a stress relief
Be the woman that i can spoil with time, affection, & loyalty
Be the one thing that keeps me leveled when I’m rushing with anxiety
Be the guidance i need to stay on the right path & not break the sobriety
Be the sunshine of my life & grace me with that smile that i anticipate to see
Impress me with your mentality & the rareness in your individuality

I used to show mad love
Used to put every soul before me
but the same ones showed no love
& the ones I went hard for, ignored me
I cared more for them than I did myself
even loved them 10x harder than I loved myself
Would’ve taken a bullet if fate needed a life as a sacrifice
but doing so only leads to a betraying price
I pulled that knife outta many backs
only to have that same knife thrown in mine, now I see how evil attacks
I never wanted to be this way but what do you expect
when I’ve been through so much pain, disappointments, & neglect
I showed more love than I was supposed to
only because I was chosen to
by the same ones that I walked thru the storm for
pushing me closer to that edge that I was headed to
I pretend not have a heart just to keep from being broken again
& I choose to stay alone just to avoid the realization of knowing you don’t have friends
This world is a game & depending on how you play, you either end up eliminated or hurt
so I’m not heartless but use my heart less being in a world so cursed

Love is Pain, Love is Hell
Love is finding that feeling that has yet to prevail
Love is Tears, Love is Horror
Love is the one thing we all want but remains undiscovered
Love is Depression, Love is Loneliness
Love is having those Hands of Love catch you when you reach your lowest
Love is Smiles, Love is Sadness
Love is that one drug with many side effects but everyone has to have it
Love is Heartbreak, Love is the Crying Rains
Love is the Midnight Thoughts & the Tears flowing down the Soul’s Window Pane
Love is the Tears of Joy, Love is the Dreams we get lost in
Love is either a Dream Come True or our Worst Nightmare
Love is the one thing in this world we hope to obtain although having causes a scare

I write this outta pure honesty
cause many of you may not notice me
I’m not that guy with his smile shining bright
I’m that guy who constantly fights for his life
Contemplate suicide on a daily basis
surrounded by saved demons & disguised racists
with family who’re more like enemies & friends who’re 2 faced
these pills became a friend of me but this liquor has a feeling I love chasing
I used to be afraid to show the real me cause people think it’s for attention
like I want everyone knowing that I’m dying mentally or spiritually something’s missing
I can’t be one of these cool kids, fronting like I’m a savage
when everyday I wake up & living life is hard to manage
So I write these poems to hopefully reach someone else
dancing with suicidal plots & never had anyone else
to love them the way they’ve always wanted to
so if you feel my pain thru my words then I write these for you
I’m not the same kid I used to be, things change drastically
went from a happy kid to a young man mixed with a tragedy
I can’t front who I am just to get likes or shares
& ignore the fact that I’m beyond scared
Scared that one day I’m gonna have enough & take my life away
looking at myself in the mirror as I watch my soul walk away
Living in this cold *** world full of envy & judgment
& too paranoid to enjoy life when death pulls up in the midst of the enjoyment
But still I thank God for every day that I breathe
Another day stronger & amazed that he hasn’t ask me to leave
I shed tears in the dark just so I can cry in peace
cause your tears remain unheard until the day you decease
I’m not the same kid I used to be, I’ve changed tremendously
alive from the physical form but beyond deceased mentally
I can’t apologize for not letting you see the real me
especially if it results in you trying to heal me
If you do anything for me then pray for me
for my battle isn’t over & Satan can’t take my strength away from me
And as I drown within my own tears, allow my sorrow to be released
& don’t you let go until my happiness has finally reached its peak
It’s not my time to reach the other side that Phase 2 has to offer
I’m still looking for ways to survive life’s horror
I’m not the same guy I used to be, I just exist in disguise
but maybe one day, the real me will spark the tears from Heaven's Skies

How could I be so foolish? Let love make me out to be so stupid?
Trying to save a love that’s already beyond ruined
I saw the actions loud & clear but me being so naive
I refuse to think she was like the rest, that I wouldn’t believe
I didn’t think she would play me especially since I’m “different”
thought she’d do right by someone who loved her dearly but I was tripping
We were supposed to share something magical but the chemistry was missing
Silly me, trying to love someone whose focus was to play games
& break any heart she comes across, she’s of no shame
I had it coming all because I’ve gained such a soft spot for her
trying to bring her into my world but evil has a hold on her
Used to the guys who only intend to use her for pleasure
take advantage of a golden heart, tear it apart, then struggle to place it back together
But I can’t say that I blame her, she’s never had that real love before
never had anyone around her that tried to love her forever
Real love is a scary thing when you don’t know if the one who gives it
is actually in it for the long haul or just using you to pass time
& I was unfortunate enough to pay for the mistakes done from the past crimes
Never been a sucker for love until I met her, I now see how deep love can be
when you’re trying to see a love fly but it won’t bother to be free
She took that trust & made me believe she was for real
only to realize that she was only luring in hearts for the ****
