Grasp the tail of life
Holding on to pain well spent
Tears and worst fears came true
Feeling of struggle, snuggled on a cold shoulder.
Trapped in this world and it's felt, to no help.
I'm on the edge of my faith
Taking a chance of what's never been my fate.
It's just the worst to come.
Broken promises, put me at the end of the list
Overcame the feat but
I'm still walking on glass with no shoes on my feet.
What's real? Who's fake?
Life taught me the chances I have to take.
Decisions, Decisions, to make.
Pain, is still in my faith.
No choice but to hold on.

The flash of uranium strikes my cranium,
But what wakes me up is the dust
Babies hollering in a fuss
Hushed.
Nothing I hear,
But I still fear,
That my hope ends here.
Blood on my hands,
Bodies last stand,
The hurt is too strong!
The atomic bomb.
5:45.
I die.

Place a battered hand on my innocence,

It's been 5 years but a scar never leaves,

A closed mouth pleads the best for help.

All my life I've been speechless only because when

I lift up my shirt and I can still see your handprint

Everyday

I still face what is the false indication of love, never got a hug but a hard closed fist.

All because of my innocence.
They put deep roots in my veins
Just so I can write one line on this paper
I ride my trust to the government,  the tax payers and the liers
Who stood still for liberation
Enlighten me with your creativity
"Ya ***** nergo! "
And That same ***** headed afro centric nergo  who picked cotton
Who marched for the same textbook like you and I
Got lyched because he wrote with his right,  he hid away at night to write my struggle in his blood.
Cut that dark flesh for righteous teaching
Let that wound sink in 246 years
And we still ain't gain no type of freedom
Our culture has poetry in pages & pages
To weep the sad tears of slaves
And it's sad because people still ain't humble about their education.
Erasing the pain of our own ancestors
Does the color' of your skin
Define your education?
Society, nowadays sing the same ol song
" A change gon' come " As they take away our freedom
But one thing they CAN'T take is our education
One thing they will NOT take is our education.
African slave love education black history
Lord I've tried so hard
They wonder why
I pray to be free
Save me
From what reality became to be
Bless me with truths
This blind eye can't see
My soul
Won't accept this society
This struggle ain't for me
Lord please come save me.
I'm proud to say
I'll always be one with you
Wrapped around your sheets of passion
Embracing the aroma of love pushed between the covers
Love it
Like I love your personality
Dance our poetry around the bed
As we glaze into the moonlight
Hold the stars tight
Tonight is the night.
The hourglass is turned over,
Time is ticking,
Heart is beating.
What will be our fate
When we finally glide past the moon, up to the stars
We don't even care about time,
Let it fly by.
Because the sensation of 1 beat
Can last minutes,
There will be no finish cause time froze at the highest peak of the second.
This one of a kind feel,
This girl,
Has sealed,
This once broken heart.
With every moment
I spend
My heart beats for seconds, hours, minutes.
Time is ticking,
1 sand drop,
2 sand drops,
3 gun shots to my heart
Which I would never thought be affected by, time.
My mind was combattled with a great feeling that lasted a millimeter of a second.
She played around, confused.
But somehow, I thought patience
Would lead on to eternal life with you.
Behind every truth &' lie
I realized, that you wasted my time..
