We stay locked up inside
W/ friends we can't confide
Talk all day on the phone
But we r still alone

Depression has set in
Anxiety within
We're locked n the whole day
With others we don't play

Some do not confide
But commit suicide
They feel this is the end
& that they've lost their friends

Then we take a look
On that app called Facebook
And see all the cool things
Our friends r remembering

This will be over soon
(It'll ******* the baffoons)
We'll all get back our lives
And b busy like beehives

But until then
Please call your friends
Check on them
Until this ends

I use to stay angry
And was almost always unkind
It really didn't matter
If u were nice or spoke your mind

Now I'm 3 yrs free
Of animosity
Now I can truly b
All that I'm meant to b

I have the best hubby
That God could've given me
He treats me like royalty
And says I'm his queen

We don't live n a castle
Or even a fancy mansion
We live with a friend
Until our credit mends

I won't tell u I'm perfect
Or even that I'm great
But during this journey
I'm learning not to hate

I'm learning God is great
I'm learning He is good
I'm learning to trust Him
Even if He's misunderstood

Letter to God:

U do not love me
Nor do U love my kids
U only care
That they become his.

If they become his
They'll never know me
If they become his

Kissing in the rain
Washes away the pain
Even if it's in the shower
That takes over an hour
The hot water will run out
Then cold water comes out the spout
And then kills the mood
So we move to the room
Things r heating up now
There's no turning back now
Let's keep the momentum going
Now that our juices r flowing

I am all 100 percent woman
I do not need any man
To complete me or make me
I can do anything like u

I can shoot on a range,
Cook a meal in the home,
Wear a dress, calm your stress

I can take care of children
Or fix a child's broken toy
I can help the physically disabled
Or give exhausted parents a break

I can go to a ball
Take care of u all
Make some fabric into a dress
Buy more food, with money less

So do not mess with me
I hope u can clearly see
I can take care of me
With/without man, I'm still me

Do not try to change me
For u will pay the price
I'll b the last one standing
And it won't end very nice

Control me and u will c
That u r very sadly mistaken
I can handle that problem too
It won't end well for u.

"Red Ain't My Color"
Inspired by:
"Blue Ain't Your Color"
by: Keith Urban

https://youtu.be/SoIKv3xxuMA

Y'all could c me on Facebook
writin' songs & poems
Watchin' my kids' lives
In i-so-la-tion

And chances were
He's flirtin' w/ some new "her"
Cause he wasn't gonna pay no mind
Well it wasn't n e one's place
But they went and said it n e way
Cause I looked like
I'd had 'nuff of his fire
Hadn't any fun
Hadn't made a smile n a long while
Baby

Red makes a good sunset
Looks good on that shirt that hugs my figure
But didn't look good on my face
I'm tellin' u
I don't need drama
It's so simple see
He's stealin' my kids, 3
Baby, red ain't my color

U weren't tryna' b another man
Hit on me kinda guy
Tryna pick me up
Tryna flirt with me
But u just didn't understand
How another man
Can take my sons
Turn them against me

Well u didn't even drink
And u're thinkin'
that I was beau-ti-ful
Tell me that if we were together u wouldn't change
Me
Just make me happy
Baby

Cause red makes a good sunset
Looks good on that shirt that hugs my figure
But didn't look good on my face
You're tellin' me
I didn't need drama
It's so simple see
He's stealin' my kids, 3
Baby, red ain't my color
No no no
Red ain't my color baby
Red makes a good sunset
Looks good on that shirt that hugs my figure
But didn't look good on my face
You're tellin' me
I didn't need drama
It's so simple see
He's stealin' my kids, 3
Baby, red ain't my color

Red ain't my color, mmm mmm
No no baby
And u lit up my world

We're beggin' of you please don't take our health!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our wealth!

Your symptoms come n a disguise
The media spreading all your lies
W/ scare tactics & fear mongering
Your gift to us makes us all cuss
We can't b who we were once
And we cannot compete with u
Co-vid

We dream about u n nightmares
U r on the news, u're everywhere
There's no escaping u @ all
Co-vid

But we can't easily understand
How you can take women & men
But u don't know what they mean 2 us
Co-vid

Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our health!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
Co-vid! Co-vid!
We're beggin' of you please don't take our wealth!

U could have your choice of homes
But we can't just go out & roam
Home's the only place 4 us
Co-vid

I had to write this song to u
Our very lives depend on u
And whatever u sent our way next
Co-vid

Co-vid! Co-vid!

We're beggin' of you please don't take our health!

Wanna cuss

N response to another poet's poem

We too are essential
And get paid small
For the work we do
For travelers and all

To find place of rest
At our hotel
We're practically the only ones open
As u can tell

I'm also a caregiver
Keeping people healthy
Although with covid-19
Not many r wealthy

We're all n this 2gether
All over the world
Hopefully future changes come
Soon to the weather

Don't matter the color of skin
Black, white or brown
We're all stuck in
All over every town

We're 'spose 2 b locked down
But it don't look like it
But all over my town
Ppl r pitching fits

They cannot go c
Their own family
They cannot go do
What they intended to

They r stuck inside
W/ family they hate
W/ rules 2 abide
They can't go out on dates

They will get over it
(Not b4 they pitch a fit!)
Or they'll get a ticket
(And they can't afford it!)

People wear frowns
And they wear gowns
People wear face masks While doing tasks

Pretty soon they'll wear
Coverings for their shoes
Just like doctors
And surgeons do

People wear gloves
Afraid they'll get sick
Like God up above
Couldn't heal them that quick

Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please give everyone something else to do!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please before we go insane inside!

Your torture is beyond compare
U drive us to the brink w/ dares
W/ nothing left to do but stare around
Your smile is like evil disguised
Your voice telling all kinds of lies
And we've run out of things to do,
Boredom!

They talk about u on the news
You're streaming w/ the largest views
There's nowhere we can escape u
Boredom!

And I could easily understand
How you have need to recruit us
But you don't know what sanity is
Boredom!

Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please give everyone something else to do!
Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please before we go insane inside!

U could choose other planets
But u have chosen planet Earth
Seems we're the one for the job
Boredom!

I had 2 get this off my chest
So we can actually get some rest
I hope there is not another test
Boredom!

Boredom! Boredom!
Boredom! Boredom!
Please give everyone something else to do!
Boredom! Boredom!

Please before we go insane inside!
