Force this smile,
But it only lasts for awhile,
Hiding from my peers
As I shed these tears.
My true feelings inside,
I hide,
I refuse to let them see my crying
Cause slowly I'm dying
What's the point of even trying ?
Holding in, I break down
My heart has a frown
So let me be
Get away from me
I sit alone and cry
When will I die. ?

Where has the love gone ?
Feelings so strong
It seems I sing the same ol song
" I love you "
" I miss you "
" I'm sorry "
All the feelings we have feels like we scream in silence
Great way to hide it.
Build our bond through frustration that seeps through our pillows
What
Else
Do
We
Know ?

Its only been 2 days but i feel like we havent talked in months
But its even worse that i cant feel your physical touch
Feels like our love is running out of luck
Can we repair it with trust ?
We got to,
Being with you is a must.
Yes we had another argument
But all i want to do is understand each other.
So can we try again
And try to repair the bond that feels broken ?
We have the puzzle ,
Its the pieces we have to put together for us to remain focus.
These are the voices in my head that speaks to me while I lay hopeless body at night.
But it's that one special voice that screams back at me through the pillow.
I love you.

Have you felt the pain in my city yet ?
Winds on a surge,
Houses and minds overturned,
Life's taking an unwanted turn.
You can't be surprised,
This hurricane has no soul.

These roads leading to your path of destiny
Been cracked by too much debris on main street
The president isn't gonna do too much about it,
He's too comfortable laid back in his seat.
Chop
Another
Tree.
How can america come together in a nation wide crisis
When we can't come united to solve the real everyday problem ?
These power lines and houses been falling
Flood levels in Florida and Texas are rising
Didn't this world learn about broken hearts in New Orleans ?
Keeping your life in order
As the ones that love build on pain to peace
Only if you see through the rain, life's tears, a world's need.
Have you felt the pain in my city ?

My girl ,
Thinks im crazy.
I'm talking about pushing dasies.
Life ?
Don't phase me.
Only the lord can really save me.
I keep my head up high,
This broken soul been though the worst times
My eyes been flushed dry.
Got you wondering why,
I'm ready to die.

I never knew,

One queen can change the world.
Overwhelmed by the earths need
Clouds are grey and history repeats.
A change is seeked
As this beautiful queen steps foot on this earth
And plants a loving seed.

I never knew,

The grass gets greener on this side of earth,
Where the air is polluted
The waters in every lake and pound shower to shallow
And the mountains grow steep
But I guess that's love getting deeper.

I never knew,

A rainbow can form over the tallest mountain
Tops are frozen with snow
Some people wonder how in this drenched weather
Can 2 worlds come together.
Now what do we have ?
Peace & Happines
A world never showed.
Look up to the clouds
No doubt you'll see a change in the sky !
A breath of fresh air;
When 2 worlds collide.

Look at the full moon through my window!
Wonder where the future holds.
Birds chrip to my name
Night swallows my hope.
Till the next day
One spot seeps threw my window into my room and it's shining!
Open eyes can never be blind
Clouds cover the path of light
Shine, Moon, Shine.

If you don't admit your own mistakes
How can you know what choices to make?
Take a break from yourself and seek the help you need.
Read.
Write.
Be focused on what you got to do in life.
You are Manuel Hutchinson III.
Carry a book wherever you need to go.
Speak about what you believe in
Your spirit listens.
Time is ticking.
Choose your decision.

I don't know my family,
Everyone is quiet.
Closed doors and zipped lips seal their fate with locks on it.
I never knew my family could be so dramatic
It's tragic
What happened to family.

My bodies cold,
My lips are blue,
I did this.
All because of you.

Knowledge wakes up my dome with bombs thrown down my street.
I wake up, lost in dust & gun shells  
" Shhhh. Be quite. "
As the sound of 1000 soldiers stomp across my heart.
Time stood still.
As my mom gets snatched right in front of me
" MOM, MOM, PLEASE don't take her away!"
I try to get one final word
"I love you. "
But it's heard on the bullet that went threw her brain.
Because of that,
I will never be the same.
America took away the one I adore.
For what. ?
All because of this war. ?
Just because my mom dressed in a long robe that hides her face?
Means she's hiding a terrorist in this place?
My scars
Is ready to enbattle vengeance on the American race.
These open wounds won't stop these open minded bombs
These lies
Won't reverse time
These  open eyes
Won't stop the flashbacks
Of that
" STRAY BULLET! ".
And these soilders,
Won't stop this WAR.

He knows
All my pain
All my struggle
He hears me when
I pray
Believe he'll help me
Lead the way

Work on me lord.

Faced with difficulties
Right in front of the enemy
Dismember my hopes & dreams.
Life ain't ****.
That's when he plants the seed.

Work on me lord.

Sprout out to his name in misery
Crushed by souls in defeat
Let my sprit sink deep.

Our roots are dying.

Work on me lord.

I pray.

For change.

Our President,

Wants meatloaf;

Not liberation.

Life is too tragic

Enrich in the taste.

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.

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..
