Either set it free
Or watch bleed

Not every story has happy ending
But it's better then know that it was a pretending

Either turn to a chapter
Or watch it capture

There are so many things wrong in this world,
If the constitution no longer has any effect on
The many kinds of laws that can be set in motion, can
We again vote against white/black marriage, for one?
Do you take the pieces of the puzzle and leave out
The ones that offend the common folk, even if it
Means forgetting about the right to the pursuit of
Happiness for ALL? Not just you and your "straight"
Drones who always do as their told?
We'll keep pretending that the rules don't apply,
If it's ruled unconstitutional, they'd still put it
Up for law, as if the constitution doesn't have
Or hold any sway on what is a decent choice for all.

Why not vote this country as appealing to the commoner,
Why not make it a place where only the rich are served,
Why not make cameras that fly and can remove any privacy,
Why not try and keep Mexicans and Muslims out again,
Why not bring guns and children closer, who cares,
Why not endorse psych drugs and throw caution to the wind,
Why not make bombs big enough to end the world.


This is the America we already know today...
Democracy>Constitution as far as you're concerned, admit it, Gop'ublicans!

Was that little six year old girl walking home from her bus stop ready to tell her mother about her first day of school asking for it?

Was the teenage girl asking for it by walking to the restroom?

What about a mother? Was she asking for it by making a trip to the grocery store?
I'm currently writing an essay to bring attention to issues facing women. I know this isn't exactly poetry but it's a good question.

Two tears may run down your cheeks
But just know it'll take week's
To heal all the wounds
Cuz that's life rules

So, know when your vision is getting hazy
Because it's  wet and rainy

I'll be there by your side
To fill you up with courage and pride

When you feel lost in the darkness
I'll make sure to open up your curtains so, you can see the sparkles

Glowing and growing

Life is not just about love
Just look up above
In take a closely and look at the star's
You'll see that they also have scars

Cuz they choose to let the scars
Shine because they want to let the pain heal.  
Their scars

The scar of your heart will repair
So, therefore you gotta breathe the air
Cuz that's the medicine for your heart beat

I'll be there
Whenever you feel like you are about to drown
I'll put my hand down
So, you can stand
Again in the sand

I'll be there to show you the way
And show you the sun ray
So, you see that you still have a long path
Won't let your flashbacks
Make you collapse

Cuz that's why I have you as a friend
Or a brother
From another mother
But that's why I'm still here
So, when you shade a tear
I'm here

To heal you
And give an advice
Of not to think it twice
Or thrice

But I'm here
Whenever you shade a tear
Remember I got a door open up
So, whenever you wanna settle down
For a break time
I got you covered
This is dedicated to someone who is my friend and also to everyone who feels down. Hope you enjoy!:)

I don't have the right to be jealous.
I don't have the right to make you smile.
I don't have the right to think about you,
and I **** well shouldn't speak your name.
I don't have the right to laugh at your smirk.
I don't have the right to be happy.
I don't have the right to stand next to you,
and I **** well shouldn't want to call your arms home.
I don't have the right to share music tastes.
I don't have the right to accidentally wear matching colors.
I don't have the right to hold your hand,
and I **** well shouldn't cherish the moments when your freckled skin touches mine.
I don't have the right to be yours.
I don't have the right to call you mine.
I don't  have the right to feel my heart ignite in passions,
and I **** well shouldn't imagine you feel the same.
Thank you for making me feel special, but I'm sorry I wasn't quite good enough to actually be special.

I had s nightmare
That I changed the
It helped every generation
Boys and girls
I had a dream
That everything was the same
It didn't really change any perspective anyway
I had a nightmare
That we were standing right screaming Revolution resolution and restitution
I had a dream that I lived in America twin condo and ciroc with a girl named Eric
I had a nightmare
Everyone was happy
We all would fight
For the world and what happened
I had a dream that I was a black activist
Dying for the truth and my truth only is what mattered then
I had a nightmare that I spared the differences of unity and freedom and how equality isn't fair because we are equally different from where we're from
I woke up
Frustrated
Upset
Joyous
Happy
Contant
Realized what I had
Past present future
And now I make decisions
Because I'm only getting older
And its all just controversy
Trying to hurt me

I'm
This **** ............................................. I reconsidered
The more money the more problems that get delivered
I'm a snake but you'll never catch me slither
I'm a bank the money flows in like a river
I'm a tank in war destroying the modern ******
I'm a thank the lord 4 making me even richer
I'm a rank some more and then I'll reconsider
I'm a beast at heart a lyrical Picasso at this art
I'm a million miles a head you billion dollar fake
So **** what you think & give back the money you take
And leave alone the hard working money I make
And sit back and take a hit like a sack
Man I'm a poet the more u hear the more u know it
I'm a profit a million here no need to show it
I got one shot at life & I'll be ****** if I blow it

I lost myself somewhere in the process
of all of this nonsense
So let's talk about why there's
less kids with Deploma's
and more people becoming homeless
more kids without fathers  
More female *** models
Then actual rule models  
Lets talk about shot town
Let's talk talk about my town
Lets talk about your town
Let's lets talk about Mike Brown
Lets talk about our rights
Lets talk about dark nights
Girls  twerking just to be seen
Instead of workin to be Queens
We are on the verge of extinction
U stop me just cuz I fit a description
Oh wait this is just repetition
MalcolmX,Dr.King were the new addition

She was terrified
But she made up a lie
Telling the world she's fine

What a surprise
That she's still alive
That's what everyone says
But she has already counted the days

Before she fades away
She's gonna breakaway
The cage that she is trap in
She won't let nobody win
Cuz now she is playing hurtin'
So, every time they breathe in

Their going to feel their skin burn
Yeah, is their turn
To payback
Now they are gonna be the ones hiding underneath their mask

When she would cried
They all stepped aside
Acting like her sobs was a piece of music
To click
Play
All the weekends
She would spent on her room to healing the bruises

Now she finds it pointless
Cuz she has noiced
And focuse
That it's worthless
To show her emotions
Cuz she can see
That the people only made her bleed

When she would cried
They all act like here tears where some joke
She choke
As she sow how cruel
This world was yeah it's time to play cool

But this game
Has a list a name
Where you are gonna feel her pain
Yeah, she gonna play it cool

But when she would cried
She stepped aside
And hide
The feelin' felt like she wanted to die
But she took a ride
Where she took
And hook
Her heart
No, her heart no longer feels electrified

Cuz when she would cried
No, one cares if she was terrified

All day behind these walls
Watching tiny spiders crawl

The time I've waisted is becoming a big regret
I shall never forget

Behind these walls no one knows what's happening
Someone can be examining
So, they can practice the damaging

But behind my walls
You'll see a lot of empty halls
But on walls you'll see my lyrics
And as y'all go y'all are gonna see the difference
As you see my spirit
You'll hear it
"Save me before
I cause a war"

Between myself
And you'll see how I chase perfection with two broken legs

Walls will be surrounding by you
Till you get the clue
Of who I am for real

If you try to run away you'll be capture
And it'll let you go till you read every chapter

In behind this walls
You'll see how I tried to repaint
The pain
With a pen

Why do you think I keep that warning sign for?
So, don't get covered up with fear and roar

Cuz when you finally
Hit the empty
Room
You'll think I need a therapy

As you see a pile of profiles tilted
"The ****** Business"

"To be continued...."
