They started to move and dance
When they saw each other at first glance

She saw him dancing and she kept on dancing
She watched with joy
For she saw a really cute boy

He saw her and he kept on dancing
Watching her blue eyes
With glee for he saw
An angel in disguise

But neither told how they felt
So it forever remained
A Realistic Love

I try to look ahead
But I can not
For the road ahead  is now blocked
I can't see through
The fog or the haze
It just happened to be
one of those days
Where the car won't start
Someone breaks your heart
Now you can't see ahead

You started out as my foe
And pretty soon I started to know
That we would be friends
Forever until the end
God sent you to me
For you to forever make me happy
You make me laugh
You make me cry
I hope we never say goodbye
For I don't know where I would be
Without you

While we sit here and watch the violence
There is nothing but empty silence
When we should be opposing the racial friction
Not see it and go on
Nobody is fighting
So I made a stand
There are so many racial problems
That nobody is willing to try and stop them
For they don't care
"So I seldom if ever
do pause to answer criticism
of my work and ideas"
Inspired by the great Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter

Whether it's sour or sweet
We don't care for we devour
It's ate left and right
And none is ever left in sight

It's bad for you
It makes you sick

But we don't care
Love is like candy
For it is also bad for you

They can both hurt and break
But we never see our mistake
Candy and love

They are both sweet
And both a treat
But love is like candy

Candy can hurt and break
But we never see our mistake

Dear Mrs. Seay
In your class
I feel free
I can sing without being judged
Singing was once one of my dreams
Poetry is now my calling
But my heart remains dear
To singing
my first passion
Thank you for helping me pursue that
Forever lost dream

As I dreadfully clean my room
I eventually need a broom
I find papers and drawings
That were never finished
They were meant to be trash
But instead they ended up stashed
Away I hoped forever
Until I find them again

As I dreadfully make my bed
It's easier done than said honestly
The pillows get thrown in the floor
The sheets get thrown out the door

I do dishes
I make them clean
But they are never
what they seem
For little specks
Little particles of food stay
And cling on

Cleaning maybe boring
And it maybe dreadful
But without cleaning
Where would we be
In a pile of clothes
Or maybe trash

But we forever
Need to always
Clean
Inspired by my messy room and messy life
