You ain’t gotta be dreaming to feel like you’re on top of the world
Your tears don’t have to dance for your love to be heard
I know it seems like you’ll never find the one who
does everything possible to show his love for you
You’ve been hurt so much to the point where love seems impossible
overwhelmed with being broken & the damage phenomenal
You ain’t gotta dream to come home a nice hot bubble bath with candles lit
& all you gotta do is jump in just to relax for a bit
Soft R&B music playing in the background to set the mood right
for a lovely evening before you’re kissed goodnight
It’s the little things that make you happy the most that money can’t afford
& it feels like it’ll never happen because your standards are ignored
Always dreamed of being honored like the Queen you are but dreams come true
& I don’t promise, I guarantee that one day you’ll meet the perfect King for you
The feeling of being love without being paranoid of being hurt again
playing this game of love knowing that you’ll never win
You ain’t gotta dream or live in a fantasy world to feel loved

I'm a Mess, I'm a Wreck
I'm Broken but what do you expect
I push you away due to fear
of you being close to me to only disappear

I'm Shattered, I'm Torn
just a product of pain & a Prince Scorn
I've been lifted up to the highest level, only to fall
but with no arms to catch me & no one to answer the call

I've loved harder than most loved back
gave away love but never received it back
Been stabbed in the back by the same ones who had it
I was once a beautiful fairytale & slowly became a hideous tragedy

Whatever happened to us?
We went from love to lust to lost of trust
now my heart's crushed

Whatever happened to our love?
Hurting each other by holding on to pride
& me loving you with a grudge

We changed & I miss the old us
But no one told us that this storm would end us
now I'm lost within the shadows seeking your touch

I miss your kiss, I miss your soul
I lost it all before I could enjoy it
the stubbornness of two lovers destroyed us

Below is the link to my 2nd book, can't believe I just said that but I'll appreciate if all of you would read it. It's just some of my most personal writings. Even if you don't read it,  thanks even for considering it

We could’ve been that dream
Could’ve had the greatest love we’ve ever seen
Love at 1st sight isn’t my thing but this is what I believed
Our words say we’re “just friends” but our chemistry call us lovers
even those who witness what we have say we’re beautiful together
A lie is nothing for us to tell so why continue
to keep performing on that stage when we’re the only fools in the venue
We fuss & fight then make love like a married couple do
cause when we bite the bullet, no one loves us like we do
I made a wish years ago & you became just that plus more
We could’ve been the Dream Team, that’s what I wanted forevermore

Look at me now dad, never thought I’d get to this point in life
Where I no longer hate you & now understand the lesson you taught me in life
See the thing was, I resented you because you were never there
sent $80 a week but that only made me think you didn’t care
Mama was strong enough to deal with the pain & raise me right
but inside I was lonely & sometimes I couldn’t sleep at night
You were that missing ingredient that I needed for a healthy life
& I believed that being my father came with a price
It’s funny how I hated you for so long just to see that I was like you
spreading this charm with women & being a rolling stone like you
but no disrespect, everybody gotta make mistakes when they grow up
stumble a few times in life before their maturity begins to show up
I don’t know the full story, I just know I lost my dad before knowing who he was
feeling like a lost cause because I was always looking for his love
I’m still your son, you’re still my father, that’s something we can’t change
but I forgive you for not being there even if this means things won’t change
I see you have other kids that you’re raising & I’m happy that you’re being that man
that they need, glad that you’re giving them a chance
to know the man that I never knew but I’m proud of you
& I pray that God keeps watching over you.
And with that being said, I’ve grown up tremendously & I no longer hate you

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
