I Am..

I do not identify myself as a black american
I do not identify myself as an activist
I do not identify myself
As anything other than what I am
Do not arbitrate my existence
It will only magnify your bigotry
Do not lecture me
It will not ratify your ministry
Do not objectify my identity
Do not marginalize my sincerity
I know your criticism
It will not dwindle me
I am defiantly deaf to it
It will not compute
Trust me
It will only intensify
What I occupy
Do not subject me to anomaly
Do not try and direct me
I will not comply
Do not concern yourself
with my essentiality
I am not lost
Do not concern yourself
With what defines me
Just ask
If I am willing and able.
The sound of my inamorato
Loneliness cries screaming deep in your soul
The feeling may still strong
This hurting shall not last long
It will ultimately pass
No more sobs no more cries
Dandelion will make you wise
Every split second heals
Bringing you to the genuine peace

Ameliorate
You kissed me once, and it was as if the whole universe stood still.
The nights our beings ended up in the same room, inadvertently drawn closer to each other though the dawning of midnight had long passed.
Breaths heavy with the lingering scent of whatever alcohol of choice we drank down through out the evening as we occupied the same space.

I, constantly going over in my head how I could possibly bring your eyes to mine.
Seductively blinking under tired, intoxicated eyelids.
Our friends floated in and out of the surrounding space, dancing around us until we were left just with each other.

It's been quite a few years now, but we've occupied the same space since then.
Once in a while I find myself wondering if you too remember those moments, and then I laugh cause you were drunk and I was stupid.

Your eyes are most unique
I want to stare into them
Like how I stare at the ocean
Waves washing in

Your laughter makes me smile
And laugh like I never knew
Like I am a little girl
Talking to her first crush

The way your face gets red
When you are really shy
Like the color of my roses
That I love so much

You make me forget things
That I do not want to feel
And just for those moments
It all seems so clear

I had a dream about you the other night
We were laughing and drinking
Sitting next to each other when
You grabbed me and kissed me

I wish I was not just dreaming
But I feel like we are both too shy
I have to find a way to somehow
Be in your life

I wanted to tell you
But I think you already know
That what I really feel
Is starting to grow

That Girl

Lily
That girl who always smiles,
She's crying deep inside.
When you think you really know,
Well newsflash honey, you don't.

When she says "I'm fine"
Please don't believe her lies
She'll never tell you why
But at least give it a try

When she says "I hate myself"
It most likely is true.
So please be there for her
And tell her to not be blue

That girl who always clowns around
And makes everybody laugh
Believe me when I say she's unhappy,
I know 'cause she is me
