Dear Ex
One week with you and it feels like the best.
Understanding love can be such a mess,
but I laid on your chest,
And confessed.
After 3 years, you still couldn’t handle the test.
Wondering what’s next,
Every night you tried to come in and land kisses on my neck.
Each peck was a stress,
Each touch was a debt,
Tryna get back in good,
Each word you spoke was a success.
But now I’m a mess,
Cause you failed the test.
Now there’s another woman laying on your chest.
Now there’s another woman taking your pecks.
You said on and off for ten years, but these last three was your best.
Now you calling me stressed,
Because she’s causing you debt.
But you’re not my problem anymore.
Boy, you’re just an EX!

Oh Mother!
What’s the set up?
So lazy that you had to kick your legs up.
Only a mother of four and you can’t even get your kids a check up.

Step back.
From a life that we didn’t even ask.
I thank God for it daily and ask him to get you off crack.
I want my family back.

Envision.
Sober life was the mission.
But some where in between love and pain,
When it came to your kids, you kept your distance.
Some where in between drugs and pain,
When it came to your kids, you didn’t mind missing us.

But I get it.

The easy road is where you want to be.
I wish you would’ve set us up good before you decided to leave;
A father with three.
And he didn’t even want us for keeps.
Cause the same pain you caused him
Got taken out on my two brothers and me.

But mommy I’m free.

Oh Mother!
I ask God to watch my brothers
He set the path for my sister because she is like no other.
But my brothers
They my lovers,
Cause they’ll still teach me when I’m stubborn,
in the rain they’ll keep me covered ,
With love they’ll keep me smothered.

But that’s your job.
Oh Mother!

One of the fruits
I don’t wanna love because love hurts
And i don’t want to be kind, because that requires to much work
And there’s no more peace, cause i have no more patience.
And I can’t find love because there’s no more waiting.
And why does sin seem to have such a hold
*** drugs and pain
Temptation
No self control
Take a chance at life , you better be bold
Don’t get caught up in its madness
Don’t sell your soul.
Cause the story you tell can’t be untold.
Get a grasp at life and behold

Temptation is hardest when you want to be free
And desire feels best when it can be a beast.
Who would’ve ever thought that the grass and the trees can breathe
Be kind be gentle have patience have peace.
Take hint to what I say because it is key
Believers in his word will be set free.
Guard your fortress and protect  that inner queen.
Understand your crowd and know when to lead.  
Leave outside thoughts on bended knee
Create love for your people and execute vulnerability

— The End —
