I just want to tell him the truth
That I died a thousand times
I could die again
I want to tell him the true pain I've been through
But he will leave
The pain ruined me
But he just doesn't understand
I could die tonight
Dedicated to my old self
Donna Bella May 2022
I think the hardest struggle I deal with on a daily is wanting to be loved, wanting someone to take the time to show me I am loved. And it’s difficult for me to understand why my entire life why it’s been so hard for people to show me the love I desire. I hate false promises, I hate “I will get better” because lies don’t do anything but run in a circle and I get so tired of being in a 360 field with people I hate turning back, I’m tired of not getting 180, I’m tired of giving my all and being everything when everybody can’t give me an ounce of themselves, I hate it, and as I go day through day it gets harder, as I grow older and want to lay down in the bed with my husband every night and be a wife and be protected, I grow knowing that visions don’t fulfill my womanhood, love does, men gives sometime love and think it’s enough and I deserve so much more. I’m more important than i midday nap, I’m more important than ounce of snore, I want to be put on someone’s pedestal as I always try to hold men to highest degree but yet I am always left crying bending down at my altar talking to mother asking her when is the pain going to end, when will a man hold me higher than hisself, a man that makes sure I’m okay and can feel how I feel from Miles away, seems so untouchable and when I get it it seems so temporary because with a blink of an eye I feel that love comes and goes when it comes to a man loving me…. It’s the truth that write with the tears that I shed and the blood that seeps down my fingertips as I write words with thorns from my pain that has risen.

Beat Hit Me Like A Punch In My Face
Beat Broke Like My Heart in 00'
Words Lingered On Around My Heart Like A Leech ******* My Blood

Made Me Feel Like I was Real
Made Me Feel Like I was Powerful
Made Me Feel Like I was meant to be here

4 Your Eyez Only
J. Cole Just Dropped One Of The Top Albums Of All Time, Of Course I Had To Write About It.

He asked me if I can stand to his symphony
I said no
He asked if I could come with him
I simply said no
He said can you smile at me
I said no
He asked will you be with me
I simply said no
He said will you forgive me
I said yes
He spoke once again, he said now take my hand
I simply said no
He looked at me confused
I looked at him
Then I walked away
He said come back
I said I’ve let you go a long time ago
He watched me walk away
And every step I took farther away
The step behind me crumbled
And then with my last step he fell to the abyss that he made from every tear that he caused
Donna Bella Oct 2019
Afraid of the possibilities that I’ve seen but didn’t take
A simple step
A multitude that I uttered
The step I could have taken
The irresistible sweet savor of something that was missed
Afraid
Donna Bella Aug 2017
I wasn't taught about the after cry after a break up
I wasn't taught the morning after a break up the sun wouldn't shine anymore
I wasn't taught that music wouldn't sound the same anymore
I wasn't taught that I would shed so many tears that salt water became my ocean
I wasn't taught that feeling of being lost and not being able to find yourself
I wasn't taught about the after cry
Donna Bella May 2015
Alone at home
House is filled with people
But that doesn't stop the anger or sadness
I'm alone
Wow
Donna Bella Aug 2014
He protects me
He looks after me
He cares for me
He listens to my problems
Everywhere I go he goes
He's my son and he's my heart
To my turtle, roscoe
Donna Bella Dec 2014
I'm always there for people
But it seems like no one is there for me
Can someone be there when I need them?
I don't ask for much
Donna Bella Apr 2015
Blood splatters
White devil
Black angel
Killed by the devil
Debatable sentence
Death sentence or a couple of years?
Killed a brother
But it's debatable
If our brother got a death sentence and 8 shots in the back
It's only right if you get a death sentence
Can the government protect our brothers and our sisters?
AmeriKKKa government can not protect us because it was not made for us
But we can change that
We have to keep on fighting
We have to keep on protesting
We have to keep on studying
We have to get in the office
We have to get these law degrees
We have to become governors
We have to win
Because we've been losing
We've gotten so far
But not that far
I wrote this poem April 8, I was waiting to decide if I was going to pose it but this is the right time. I'm praying for Baltimore tonight
Donna Bella Jan 2021
I bathe in my sins
I tried to become anew
Instead I came back up
Tears flowing
Tears drying
Just laying here
Fighting battles
Removing swords
Trying to become whole
Once again
Donna Bella Dec 2015
I fail to realize...
I fail to realize over and over again
I fail to realize everybody is not for me
I fail to realize everybody doesn't want to see me succeed
I fail to realize a lot
I just want to succeed but it's so hard with no supporters
Try waking up everyday trying trying to do right
But to the world they see wrong
So they don't see me
Im an ant to a dog
Art
Donna Bella Sep 2014
Art
Let my art be the sound of my soul
Let it reminisce of the good times
Let it scribble the lines of the bad times
Let it bloom with excitement
Let my art be a representation of me
Just let it be me
Donna Bella Sep 2014
Let my paintings become the words that bleed out of my mouth
Donna Bella Dec 2014
Art bursts out my veins onto the canvas.
Donna Bella Oct 2014
The excitement of a child
Is in you when you get a new artist tool
Write,color,paint
It's an artist tool
It's all new
It all you
You figure out what you want to do first
With the new tool
Your a child
Full of joy and happiness
I'm that child with a new tool
Donna Bella Sep 2014
The life I live can never be depicted in a movie script
I'm afraid that no actor can ever feel what I've felt
I'm afraid no one has the word for it
It would take years for them to depict 2% of my life
The audience would cry but would want to find out more
But I wouldn't want them to dig through my dark secrets that could cause a terror.
Terror, of a cause that can never be depicted
Future artist that will soon be recognized for my greatness
Donna Bella May 2022
Kiss me
Kiss me in every way possible
Mentally
Spiritually
Physically
Share the love I desire
That selfish love
That everlasting life
Visions of ecstasy
Visions of fulfillment
Just a simple kiss
Is all I ask of you
Donna Bella Aug 2014
You're  my soul from another decade
You're my inspiration for another day
You're the rhythm of my paintings
The soul of my canvas
The creativity of my mind
The overdose of my heart
RIP my brother
Jean Michel Basquiat you will always be with me
Donna Bella Feb 2015
**** this life of mines
My heart hurts
My soul is aching
The disrespect from people is to much
The constant nagging from people is to much
**** my life
I see so much more
It's taking forever to get there
It's taking forever
Be
Donna Bella Jul 2014
Be
I've been everywhere
Just not where I want to be
Donna Bella Apr 2015
Beautiful words
Beautiful sounds
Beautiful voice
Music
Musician
I fell in love
How can I have ******* with words that enter my ears?
It's beautiful
It makes my ears tingle
Donna Bella Jul 2014
I don't want to seem self absorbed
But I'm beautiful inside and out
My exterior is tough and powerful
But my beautiful skin is soft and fragile
The veins running through me are made of gold
My skin is as bright as my soul
Everywhere I go I get admired
But guess what?
I'm just a turtle
**And I belong to the beautiful Donna Bella. I am her heart and she's mine
Dedicated to my turtle
Donna Bella Nov 2014
Betrayal hurts
It's the feeling a person gives you when they hurt you intentionally
It's the feeling he gave me 15 minutes ago
It's the feelings that's going to make me not love you anymore
It's the feelings that I've losed for you
I'm done with you have a nice life
I supported everything you did
Just to have betrayal knocking on my front door
Remember that karma is a *****
Donna Bella Apr 2015
AmeriKKKa
Land of the free
Land of the whites
Hell for the blacks
Equality non existent
KKK running land
Blacks running dead
Blood splatters everywhere
KKK never stops
Blacks broken with grief
Whites uplifted with grief
Donna Bella Oct 2014
I just realized I would want a world like brave new world. Where death comes at age 60 expectably instead of unexpected death and the feelings that it causes. A world where feelings are not among us only on given days. A world that uses soma to relieve there pain. It's quite a nice new world a world unattainable.
Donna Bella Sep 2014
I break down
I sit down
I feel a hurricane
My eyes rain
I sit in a flood of salt water tears
Eyes red as a blood moon
Head pounds like the drummer
Realizing how easy life can fall apart
It falls apart so easily
Wow
Donna Bella Jul 2021
It’s a cold breeze
Yet I feel no breeze
I fight everyday trying to stand
Yet I fumble again
Sometimes I crumble under pressure
Sometimes I’m fighting my demons to the end
Sometimes I let you get too much of me
So I lack
I begin to lack everything that is needed
I begin to lack life
I begin to lack sense
I begin to not see the path i was on
Here comes the breeze again
Donna Bella Nov 2014
He lured me in
I fell for it
He took control
I was so young
Body count was triple my age
I felt alone every night
Every old man who touched me
Every man who took a part of me during the night sky
Every man who hurt me
Killed me each year
My mind is mentally gone
I can't think on my own
All I want is help to live again
Human trafficking

I wonder if I die
I wonder if you'll bury me in a gold casket
I wonder if you'll have white and blue roses for me
I wonder if you'll bury me in Giuseppe's
I wonder if you'll call DonnaTella and tell her DonnaBella has died
I wonder if you'll be okay
I wonder if you'll be sad
I wonder if you'll continue my brand

**** I wonder where I'm going!
Heaven or Hell
Donna Bella Feb 2017
Can I ask you something?
Can I ask you about myself?
Can you tell me what you see when you look at me?
Can you see someone beautiful or ugly?
Can you look in between my skin and see the scars underneath?
Can you feel the pain I've felt?
Can you tell me I'm beautiful?
Can I tell you I'm afraid?
Can I?
Donna Bella Mar 2015
Cheated
Cheated out of my money
Cheated out of my soul
Donna Bella Aug 2014
When I'm around him
It feels like we're connected
He speak life to me
I speak life back
He grabs I feel warmth
The ways he talks
The ways he look
It's just our chemistry
Donna Bella Aug 2015
Y'all ever have two good choices?
When choice one is awesome
And choice two is awesome
but you can't choose one
but you can't choose two
So you're stuck debating on which one to choose
And you have to choose in a day
But you're as indecisive as a mosquito
So you're just like .............
And choice one is waiting on you to choose him
And then choice two is waiting on you to choose him
But really they're both so good and I both like them
But I just can't choose
Donna Bella Aug 2017
The cleansing of my soul
The cleansing of my heart
Water pure as light
Cleansed my hurt today
I submitted my demons to the shrine today
I bowed to surrender them all
To be clean again
To live free again
To not feel the hurt that I felt yesterday
The cleansing of my soul
Donna Bella May 2016
I remember feeling a sense of misery
Taking morphine like candy
Wanted to be understood and cared for
But could someone truly understand me
How can they understand me without judging me?
The night I died was the happiest night of my life
I just want to be closer to heaven
I hate being left alone with my thoughts because I'm not good enough
I can't love someone like they imagine to be loved
I can't care for someone the way I would like to care for them
I just want to live a happy life
but is it too good to be true?
Donna Bella Jul 2014
Stuffed up
Fed up
Can't even breath
I just got a cold no big deal
Donna Bella Aug 2014
Stop!
Stop please!
You don't know me!
You don't know what I had to go through!
It's over I conquered the storm!
I'm not scared of your harsh words no more!
I have the victory and the power!
Donna Bella Apr 2015
Contradicted
Don't live today thinking tomorrow will come
Don't live today thinking a change will come
Don't live today fretting for tomorrow
Don't live today expecting joy in the morning
Don't live today expecting sorrow in the morning
Don't live today thinking I'll be here tomorrow
Don't live today thinking I won't be here tomorrow
Contradicted
Corroboration
Donna Bella Sep 2014
Daddy was ashamed
Of his little girl
He knew his little girl was all on the Internet
He knew his little girl nudes leaked
He left his little girl feeling all alone
And that little girl felt like she was alone
So baby girl ran away
Ran away from home because she wasn't loved, so she thought
She ran away to a wilderness so far away
No one else could get there
She ran away and went to heaven
Donna Bella Aug 2014
I bleed from the drunken veins
I talk from the wicked mouth
I love from the solid heart
I touch with the harmful hands
I keep myself in solitude so the dangers won't get to you
I am danger
Donna Bella Nov 2014
Dark soul
Bright thoughts
Killer words
Dead Thoughts
Donna Bella Apr 2016
I came like the dark moon
Subtle and reminiscent
Gleaming from above
Just to feel lonely like a dove
Quickly moving from side to side
Shining so vigorously it hurts
Choose or rather be disowned
Oh Oh Lonely Moon
"Beautiful," they say
You stay up to see my darkness and fall asleep
while my light shines
Rather contradicting
Rather detrimental
Rather lonely
Lonely
Lonely
Donna Bella Nov 2014
You never noticed me
When you did
I was nothing but a friend
My heart told me to do everything for you
But yours told you not to
I wanted more
You took my heart away
You pricked every vessel with your words
I bled to death because loving someone who doesn't love me
Is death to my heart
Donna Bella May 2018
Crazy when I speak to him my world becomes such full of him and love, like I’m being held, like
Love sprouts like the flowers In April. Then I think of the word deception....
Donna Bella Aug 2016
I'm so deep in love it's like diving in the Mariana, everlasting.
I'm so high off him, it's like I'm intoxicated with every illegal substance.
I'm in so much trouble because I killed for him and I lied for him.
I'm so in love, and I like it.
I like the way he talks, I love the way he sings, I love his smile and I love every flaw.
But he has no flaws to me, our love diminishes flaws.
Never been intertwined before until his heart met with mines and I felt our souls attaching to one another.
The love grows deeper every day as our heart becomes more and more attached.
Deeper. *
Deeper.
Deeper.
Donna Bella May 2016
Broken heart
Shattered feelings
The love is lost
But was it even there?
Were the feelings so closeted it left?


He kept me on delivered
All I wanted was to be read
I wanted him to examine me and my emotions
But could he truly understand me?
Could he understand that I was hurt deep down?
Or was I so flawed he just saw it as another insecurity within myself?

**Delivered, Delivered
Donna Bella Feb 2015
Depravation
Deprived of the odds of our stars
Little ***** ****** me and left me
Depravation of the hard time rambling in my old mind
Past coming like the present time
Future dim with nine lines
My ***** ****** me on nylon
The depravation of my mind
Hard to think
Hard to swallow the deprived thoughts
I need some water give me some water
I'm deprived
Donna Bella May 2018
de·ranged (mad; insane.)
He cracked me open so I wanted to knock him down. I wanted to shoot him harder than it shot, but it was a temporary feel so I was still hurt. I said to myself the only permanent feel of satisfaction I will get is death. And no not death of thou self, but the death of one other. One year, two year, three, it will never be expected but it will arrive. The wait is just the game but the final is the shot. He will feel the hurt but instead of it being temporary it will be permanent, but he will be lost because I won’t be there to find him once more, so he will be like a stray while I watch in the forefront, while he thought he won the game, he just opened it up for another player to loose. I say, Let The Games Begin!

I gave in
They yell at me
They call me fat
They call me a pig
They tore my heart
But this chocolate healed it
They knocked me down
They told me to die
They said I'm no good
But my mama tell me to stand tall
How can you stand tall when the world shuns you down?
