If you’re so bored, why don’t you explore?
It’s cold outside which I can’t ignore

If you’re so bored, why don’t you pick up a book?
But nothing excites me or has me hooked

If you’re so bored, why don’t you sing a song?
My hearts yearns for a rhythm that can’t be sung

If you’re so bored, why not draw it down?
My brain is tired from overthinking and I can’t seem to draw it out...

If you’re so bored, why not call a friend?
Everyone is busy working or networking

If you’re so bored, why don’t watch a movie?
It doesn’t feed me and again, nothing is exciting

If you’re so bored, what can you possible do?
I sat here and wrote this poem for me and you.

I yearn for my poems to love me
The words hold so much truth
An emotional intelligence
That will surpass my youth

No shame for feeling
Just moments of bliss
Is this truly my wish?
Will they take me in

Each of them are called by a different name
Hold on to variety of sentiments
Will they all hold me accountable
Lord, knows I don't want the blame

Maybe I'll start to write poems as gentle as my touch
May the kindness manifest in all my writings
So I can finally lean on them and use it as a crutch

Be true
Don't be no fool
Only love you

Young girl
You still have time in your youth
Enjoy this journey
Don't let them use you but be utilized

Young girl
May you choose to grow and not change
Enjoy this journey
Don't let them play

Young girl
There's a beauty inside of you
Enjoy this journey
Don't forget to tell your story

Young girl
There's a lion inside of you
Enjoy the journey
Don't get mean but please be tough

Craving for me to stay
Abusing me with your irrational ways

Pretty Brown Eyes
Why must you antagonize

This could have been a summer love
Thank God, I was brave enough to rise above

Pretty Brown Eyes
Why must you antagonize

As you proclaim this two way street
Your love for me was filled with dead ends and defeat

Pretty Brown Eyes
Why must you antagonize

As you testified how you liked your head between my thighs
Eating away because you were too cowardly to amplify

Pretty Brow Eyes
Why must you hide from your truth

You know you loved me
I guess... it's deliberately obtuse

Don’t wait until my death
Bring me flowers
Tell me you love me
Before I take my last breath

Tell me my smile is as bright as the Sun
Hold me until our hearts starts to beat as one
Kiss me gentle on my forehead and such
A warm embrace, before I escape to heaven

Let me know my personality brings you peace
Let me cry tears of joys and laughter
Bring me to serenity of reassurance
Knowing my God has finally granted me happily ever after

Love is not boastful but please be kind
I’m fighting battles that aren’t mine
I feel weary but God will give me rest
In the moments in dispair, tell me God bless

Don’t wait to hear my story to empathize with me
Show me love until I hear the angels sing
Change point of view of this world
Help me to see the positive
Show me love, my dear
So I can keep going
Naptural Mermaid Jan 2020
I read still I rise
so my heart will know to carry on

I remember God's love
A promise of no fear and strength to continue on

I pray for relief in the morning
for I know my time to shine shall come
