Security Blanket
Tamika Cox Nov 2011
I watch you slip
farther inot your
misty dark insanity.

You say you want to
rise above the surface
but I find
the darkness is your
security...

So when you feel
like coming back
to me,
your faith,
your God,
just look in
the mirror
at my eyes
staring back at you...
smiling.

"I'll Huff and I'll Puff..."
Tamika Cox Nov 2011
Yell!
Scream!
Shout!
Curse!
.....Build yourself
up with these
false tokens
of dominance.

I will
build myself up with
Patience
Understanding
Rationale.

Your structure is merely
made of straw
and mine of bricks...
now watch as the
big bad wolf
blows your house
of immaturity
down.

Sticks and Stones
Tamika Cox Nov 2011
Dark clouds are just that
vapor, water, air
that soon dissipates
to shed the shinny
warmth of day.

You can hurt me
with your words
but I can mend
myself with
my thoughts.

Nothing can stop me
but myself,
foolish me
for letting your
dark cloud
eclipse my beautiful
light because just
like a cloud
you will soon dissipate
from my life.
