I WANNA BE LIKE WILL AND JADA
LIKE RUSSLE AND CIARA
I WANNA BE LIKE BEY AND JAY
HAHAHA OR MAYBE LIKE THE GREAT MICHELLE AND BARAK OBAMA
THE ONLY THING THATS DIFFERENT IS
I WANNA BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!

SEE, WE WERE A TEAM THAT COULDNT BE BEAT
MORESO A FORCE NONE COULD COMPETE
TRY TO FACE JUDGMENT OF LOSING SOEMTHING DEAR
TRY TO FACE REALITY OF STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH YOUR BIGGEST FEAR
HOW DO I GET RID OF MEMORIES BUT STILL BE ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THE MEMORIES
WITHOUT HURTING OR HAVING PAIN?
HOW DO I SMILE AT WHAT WAS BUT NOT ENDURE THE PAIN OF WHAT IS?
I JUST WANNA BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!

I WANTED TO LIVE OUT OUR DREAMS
WE WANTED TO MAKE OUR FANTASIES OUR REALITIES
NOW I HAVE TO MOPE IN THE AGONY OF NOT HAVING YOU
BUT CAN I STILL HOLD YOU LIKE YOU WANT?
HOLD YOU LIKE A FRIEND
HOLD YOU LIKE THE DAY WILL NEVER END
HOLD YOU UNTIL DAY TURNS TO NIGHT
AND UNTIL NIGHT TURNS INTO ANOTHER MORNING WHERE WE SMILE AT EACH OTHER?
I JUST WANNA BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!

DAYS TURN INTO WEEKS
WEEKS INTO MONTHS
MONTHS INTO YEARS
DAM, AND ALL THIS WAS OVER STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH ONE OF MY BIGGEST FEARS?
LOSING YOU
THE ONE I LOVED AND ADORED
THE ONE I ADMIRED AND SO MUCH MORE
THE ONE THAT INSPIRED ME TO KEEP PUSHING EVEN IF ITS A CLEAR DISTANCE
THE ONE THAT PUSHED ME WHEN I COULDNT PUSH MYSELF
I JUST WANNA BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!

UNTIL THEN-
UNTIL MY NIGHT TURNS TO MORNING
UNTIL MY DAY BECOMES CLEAR
UNTIL MY DREAMS BECOME MY REALITY
UNTIL MY FEARS WITHER AWAY
ILL BE LOOKING HOW TO FIND MY HAPPINESS
NOT WITHIN MYSELF BUT JUST HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!

Are we perfect because there's no forever,
We can't learn to hate ourselves together.
Inside and outside show the same,
Love lust, quick release, just a game.
There is nothing there that we could cover,
No feelings that we smothered.
If it's not love then it can't hurt,
Climbing into bed without a word.

Slowing down would mean boredom,
So we're left with no time to find the problem.
The role of both a lover and friend,
A candle wick rope lit at either end.
Now, alone with time to dwell,
The idea doesn't sit quite so well.
A memory can't help the mending.
Short and sweet always has an ending.

Are you just my fixation?
A figment of some sweet imagination?
If I picked your life apart
To see what I could have known from the start,
Would I find myself happy
In the face of a reality?
Or sad? As, broken at the seams,
I see the remnants of my tentative dream.

God watch me & help me
In the times that I need thee
I know I have done wrong
But please help me to be strong
I know I don't talk to you much
But please answer my prayers with the feel of your touch
Help me to be strong so I can stand on your word
And preach the gospel that should be heard
Through out the nations and people going through temptations
Help Me
Save Me
Set Me Free
In your name I do pray
Amen

Alone by my own
Trapped away in my own home
Standing with no one
Never being with anyone
Away in the streets
With no food to eat
Like a stray dog
Out in mother natures blurry fog
My heart tells me to move on
But my mind say to never run
Sted fast on the lord
But with no shield nor sword
Praying faithfully asking for the lords forgiveness
But still trapped with the pain and stress
He answers my heart
And now I feel apart
Joyful & grateful
That he was so faithful
But now I see what goes around comes around
And now i'm back in a lonely state after getting shot down
Alone by my own
Trapped away in my own home

You pay your bills
But you don't have a job
You clean up your spills
Just to do the same thing all over
You let the worlds words get to you
Instead of moving on
You brag cause you paid $200 for some shoes
But wont use that money for a good cause
You say your not self centered
But you care more about your getting hurt than your brother
You say you would give your life to be with her
Yet you fuss and call her a ***** when she gets mad
So I ask you where do you stand?
If you're your brothers keeper
His life lies in Gods as well your hand
Do you really know what a man is
Or do you think you know what a man is
Let your knowledge back your wisdom
Don't make your fist lead your way
Be respectful but firm
Be courteous but take the time to learn
Get up and at least try to get a job
Instead of making **** your life
When was the last time you help someone when they fail
When was the last time you told your brother you loved him
Just because you never cried doesn't make you a man
A man isn't a shame to cry and never questions his manhood
A man is a trend setter and not the follower
A real man is sensitive to woman and understand 1 is enough
A man loves his family and take care of his kids
Even if he doesn't have kids he is there to be a mentor to kids with no fathers and step to the plate to be a father
A man is God fearing and is a shame to show or tell it
A man is confidential and strives to be the best at what he does
Notices his mistakes fixes them and benefits from his changes
Therefore I ask you Are You A Man

I never thought a love like this could be true
I never had people show me the things you do
Its funny how we say forever we'll be together
But are you talking about for the worst or just for the better
As far as our dreams have flew
And as far as our love has grew
I never thought this would come to be true
Do you remember the day you said I DO or do you remember the day love broke between the two
All the love has gone down an empty drain
All because one has left and another has came
I take the time to see how time flies
Now its come and this day you said your last goodbye
Now you sit and wonder what did you do
You ask me and all I say is do you
We wished to spend that one night only
But that time has passed
As much as we said we love each other
I knew the words wouldn't last
You never told me thank you for taking the time
I will just sit and wait for the day you come back and ask to be mine
I always knew love never lost a thing
All you wanted for love was a diamond & a $200 ring
I was a dummy and put out time for you
But if I asked you to do something
You would say for who
Or maybe Who are you
You ask me why I think about you
Could you say the love & the pain we've been through
As I bring this to a close I would like to say thank you
For the unforgettable tears & pain
But now its to clean up my stain
I Never

I always wished one day I could just be FREE
yelling to myself to just let me be FREE
FREE from pain
FREE from hurt
FREE from insecurities
FREE from me
but the FREE I want isn't the ordinary FREE
FREE from oppression
FREE from tears
FREE from fears
FREE from me
just one day I just want to let me be FREE
FREE to express
FREE to speak
FREE to love
FREE to be me
but if I let me be FREE I wouldn't actually be FREE
because the FREE in me never tends to see itself be FREE
FREE loves instead of wanting and needing to be loved
FREE leans not onto own insecurities
FREE isn't feared to cry tears
FREE speaks and isn't afraid to express
but will my FREE tend to see the FREE that needs to be FREE
will FREE see the need to set FREE, FREE
maybe one day i'll be FREE
FREE to laugh
FREE to smile
FREE to believe
FREE to be me
maybe one day, just once, the FREE within me would acknowledge that FREE yearns to be FREE
but instead  my FREE tends to see FREE as FREE to be trapped within me
FREE notices imperfections and embraces them unlike me
FREE!
FREE!
FREE!
but until my FREE doesn't acknowledge itself as FREE
FREE will forever and always be trapped inside of me never to be FREE!
i just want to let me be FREE
FREE!
Its a very confusing poem but you have to see the word free as two different stand points fighting at each other. Focus on the words I, Myself, My, and Free. I have been through so much to the point that my mental see's the meaning of Free so differently then I have perceived it to be. Sometimes freedom of self is all you need and this is what I wanted.
This poem was written October 6, 2013, ENJOY!
