I still don't know what poem to write!
Write about the black man's plight?
Nah, oversaturated and a little too light.
So, ... We'll scratch that.

After this maybe someone will match that.
But seriously, maybe about me.
But I'm not free or open
And you don't wanna hear about how
I'm 24 years old and spent the last 12 smokin'
Ya probably think I'm joking.

But seriously,
Some would call this this writer's block.
Then what am I doing up here
Just wasting my 15 seconds of fame
Before I leave ashamed
Drowning my pain in a bottle
Of someone else's Success?

So who will it be tonight?
Jack, Remy or Jimmy?
But before I go
Do me a favor
Please applaud.

So I don't slump into a depression,
upon realizing my pocket's recession
So a flew claps can sway my pain
So please do me that favor
And don't let me leave ashamed!
Open Mic Rant

I'm just expressing myself,
showing my values through pen strokes.
Writing poems for women in thin clothes,
Never really wanting to see how this pen can go.
Just chasing relations
As long as the next chick's real hair flows.
Not shallow
Just not very empathetic
Kind of a contradiction,
Seeing how my heart hangs by thin tethers.
In today's world, that's either light skin
Or just pathetic.
I'll answer myself;
It's the latter.
Scared of commitment
Like I'm living with a weak bladder
Causing problems that don't exist.
Find myself alone and just reminisce.
I'm my own downfall,
I'm just proud
I know where my flaws exist,
For that alone makes me
Flawless

Why am I so guarded?
Emotional defense on *******
Too scared to hurt or be hurt
So relationships, I readily deter them
Jumping through situations like a temp taking any employment
Treating ***** calls like an active soldier ready for deployment.
Missing something,
Just don't know what it is,
Treating women like thots
That's me being the kettle calling black on the ***.
Just wanna be friends
Like Musiq
But I'm the soulchild of a disadvantaged generation.
Why shouldn't I abuse it?
So lets just just hook up, hang out,
Netflix and Chill

— The End —
