A Letter to my Future Self
All wording not overly conveyed,               I'm no dictionary. My pen is my shield and my words              my armour. Sometimes dented, ridiculed,             so not as lustrous as your vocabulary giving, but every symbolism           I give in jest. I can be a clown, watch my words prance on               the page in fruitful colouring of metaphor. But other times I'm in the size seven of another's outlook not my own, emotion grazing my subconscious.          For that fraction of eternity I'm them, you I live there fears,  hopes wishes that die after I put the                                                                              pen down. Don't judge a piece of paper that has nothing on it,            for will have a doodle, a thought.. A drawing of emotion entwined within its fabric.    But you just ridicule, turn the page not knowing                      the pain or joyful happiness that went to create this... Yes its not in your taste, but its there's, mine. Were just artists of our own little world,              and if you happen to land here. Please be green..    Recycle what you think, and be positive,     really do reflect on what others foresee.

complexity of simplicity
If not for the moon, we won’t see the stars, If not for the wound, we won’t see the scars. If not for the highs, we won’t feel no lows, If not for the fast, we won’t feel no slows. If not for the poor, we won’t have no rich. If not for the river, we won’t have no bridge. If not for the day, we won’t have no night. If not for the wars, we won’t have no fight. If not for the happiness, we won’t have no satisfactions, If not for the love, we won’t have no affections. If not for the winner, we won’t have no losers. If not for the options in life, we won’t have no choosers. While we indulge in prayers and hymns We tend to forget, we can be human beings. While we pretend being, religious and pious We cannot refrain from being, jealous and bias. Copyright © PS

IF NOT
I can imagine, walking down the main street of the little town we lived in, squirming my hand out of my mothers hand, craning my neck, wide eyed, to look at the people passing us by. what if I saw myself, a decade in the future? I would never even know it was me. would I look at my mid-length hair, and think it would be prettier longer? or my dimpled cheeks, and wish that I could fill them in? would I see my waist, and want to squeeze it smaller? or my thighs, forever too big to be 'beautiful'? no. because in the mind of a child, none of that would matter. I would look up at these tall, independent, powerful girls and want to be like them. I wouldn't care that my thighs touch, or that I don't have a flat stomach, or that I don't have Rapunzel's golden locks. I wouldn't want to change me. I would want to grow up to be just as beautiful, powerful, independent, strong, talented, loved, intelligent as I am now.

New Years
She was just another schoolgirl Dreams of marriage and of kids She had devoted parents They loved everything she did Nothing could deter her from the choice that she had made Turning seventeen, she left her home in Forest Glade Moving north to Epsilon She chose another route She would be a dancer Taking money from the suits She started slow in Epsilon A club girl from the start She had a phony i.d But she sure could play the part Was she a dancer or an actress Seems she was one and the same She chose to go as Crystal Though that wasn't her real name She danced a bit and moved around The lifestyle she liked She was dancing up in Buffalo When she met a guy named Mike They dated and got married Soon a kid was on the way When he found out she was pregnant He packed up and moved away She was nineteen and without a chance To get a better life Who would want a dancer With a kid to be his wife? Nobody that she knew That would be for sure And just like the little girl she was She always wanted more She had her son, named Ferguson She then enrolled in school She was gonna be a big thing She would not be no ones fool She chose to keep on dancing Working late nights, dancing hard Saving up her money So she'd get her son a yard She was still a little girl deep down She still had real big dreams She didn't want the normal life She wanted the extremes She was a dancer, mother, daughter and A sutdent every day She had to keep them separate Had to keep her lives at bay She'd many personalities Depending on her place She handled each role expertly With poise and with such grace By day she was a mother And a student on the side She did both of them expertly And she showed off both with pride At night she was a dancer Schoolgirl, teacher, and much more She would be a patrons fantasy But she hid down in her core The little girl she really was Stayed deep and far from them She was also now an actress Dancing, doing things for men At night when she was finished She would go home to her boy She would bend and kiss him as he slept For he was her pride and joy She'd then go hit the shower Washing all their dreams away She would wash away their kisses She would make herself okay Each night she'd play another role To keep the men entranced She would change her look up daily As on the stage she pranced They'd pay her for her company And they'd worship all she did But, all she ever thought about Was something better for her kid She finished school in record time A manager she'd be She took a four year course And she finsihed it in three She didn't have the money To quite make her dreams come true But, she now had a diploma And inside, her pride just grew She was now a feature dancer She was the top of mens desires But the job was getting weary In fact, our girl was tired She had her different roles to play Still mother, daughter, and At night a dancer actress In an pornographic land She'd go home every night and see Her son there in his bed She'd go and have her shower And she'd kiss him on his head She'd wash away the garbage Wash away her hidden life Once again she thought of Being a mother and a wife Normalcy, would not be hers She'd have to move along She'd done well for her young boy She had not done too much wrong A new life far from Buffalo Would be the thing to do She's now a mother and a daughter And she might live next to you She broke the chains that bound her Used her dancing to improve Made herself much stronger And she then did up and move Now she doesn't go home late at night To wash away the grime She can go home and go out to play To give her son some time The sad fact is there's lots of girls But not as strong as her They do not escape the dancing When they end up, no one's sure But Crystal, she's a hero For she made herself move on She's a mother, actress, daughter with a super cool young son Where she went I don't know where But, she ended up on top Ther rumours were she married In fact they said that he's a cop they say that she's still out working In the clubs, out with the girls But she's no longer a dancer She's out showing them the world She's helping them get into school They confess to her their sins She knows of what they talk about For she's been just where they've been She doesn't go by Crystal She now goes by her real name But, she might just live next door to you And to tell would be a shame.
