Every last one

Today

“What are you waiting for”

is a question that’s been tormenting me as of late

Cuz I’ve always been waiting

But I’ve been unclear on the what, or even the why

Thewhen is always changing

From “next week”

To “next year”

To the recurring, excited bursts of “today!!”

Which then becomes last week

Then last year

Then never mind

“Extensive yet unfulfilled” can be used to describe more than my notes section

It can be used to describe the many ideas and ambitions which undoubtedly grow tired of a lifetime confined to my mind

When they just want to live

It can be used to describe my 27 years on this earth

Which have been largely unremarkable

Spent devotedly waiting for a what and a when that’ll likely never come

I’m tired of waiting, and I just want to live

WellIletmelive?

that our young would assume the task

of bringing us into the future.

and still so much to learn.” .

and so being, I began to listen,

to discover they had much to teach me,

Henny.

I got the Henny in my system.

My thoughts are all twisted.

Let me tell you about the other night and why I’ve been so distant.

You won’t believe none of the heartache I’ve been through.

I went from being a “one mans” girl to being push aside like one of them dry ass Popeyes biscuits.

A couple of months goes on and he pops up out of the blue.

Trying to gas me up like I’m a big body surban that runs on diesel fuel.

I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt but I can’t trust nothing that spews from his mouth .

I guess that’s what happens when you got that henny in your system and lonely thoughts entwine with your words of wisdom.

BlackLivesMatter

Ya favorite Southern Hummingbird

Pipe Dreams.

Oh so you wanna huff and puff with ya chest out.

Asking fifty million questions like we go out.

Keep that same energy you had when you slid up in it,

Hit it.

Bounced and went three months missing.

I don’t owe you an explanation on why I’m giving you the cold shoulder.

Nor do I expect for you to tell me why I found a blonde strand in my jet black hair after you told me to move over.

Young and naive must be labeled somewhere on my forehead.

I wanted something real.

You just wanted to do construction and lay wood.

Meanwhile here I am laying on my back thinking how the hell is this going to work out.

Take A Knee.

Black brother are you gonna stand up tall with your hand over your conflicted ass heart?

Or are you going to get down on one knee, fist up proposing to fight and not just make a statement about injustice that’s happening to blacks in America?

Is that fancy salary worth all the backlash coming from the community that your charity gives back to?

Why not take a risk and fight for your first Amendment of rights?

Freedom of press.

Freedom of speech.

The right to boycott America’s National anthem by kneeling while home or away.

Be like Kaepernick and lead the way.

Be a voice for the ones that are no longer here.

I’m no activist but I’m sick and tired of hashtagging about the deaths of my brothers and sisters just to spark a change.

Free flow

I’ve never been good communicating or expressing my emotions .

I would rather secretly shed a few tears than pour my heart out to the emotionless,

Pen to pad ,

non therapeutic ass vultures.

Sitting in a cold gray doctors office,

The minute I start to express myself and my feelings their quick to past me a prescription that promises artificial healing.

Skim and skip over the side affects and over look the health warning labels.

Listen up and listen good.

Take this twice a day and be sure to chase it down with water.

It’ll wipe those sad blues you call a depression stage,

away.

What good does an animal tested prescription do?

You’re at a greater risk of being locked up in a psych ward,

Rather than speaking to someone qualified to ease your worried mind.

As I stand on stage dropping lines,

I feel the weight lifted off of my shoulders,

Because I gave it a go and let every emotion I’ve encountered in the past flow.

A Beautiful Mind

The mind is a beautiful thing.

Mentally and physically capable of doing just about anything.

Similar to the heart it can decipher when to let go of bonds that were once strong.

Not to point fingers at anyone but both parties were in the wrong.

He never gave what they had going on a title.

So she thrived off of assumptions and southern feed lies.

The day she started to put the pieces together that’s when tentions started to rise.

Her blood began to boil at the thought of fornicating with a guy who had someone else but only wanted her as a side

The moment she brought this to his attention,

what she figured out.

He denied it without a blink of an eye.

She continued playing his game.

Sneaking and geeking.

With a little soul seeking and hidden cryptic Social media post,

He pulled the plug afraid of being exposed.

The most beautiful thing about the mind is that it can recognize what the heart is blindly trying to deny.

The Realist One.

No loud capping my presence speaks volumes by itself.

No need to fake flex with materialistic shit I have yet to pay for.

I don’t want to lease or rent nothing.

I plan on building, buying and being a humble homeowner.

Go hard or go home.

Just know time is something an ambitious man can’t afford.

My hustle is A1.

Work hard or go home.

Balling out of control and I don’t even own a Swarovski chain.

Realistically speaking I aim to shoot.

Dropping knowledge like I just flunked out of college.

I put my pen to paper.

Put a face to my name.

Go hard like it’s nothing.

I’m the realist in the game.
