The Things That Made You You
~A Freestyle For Nana~

Wise words spoken at a time of overwhelmign emotions.

I sit on the beach with my toes in the sand,

Gazing out into the rolling waves.

I see your smiling face in teh sky's horizon.

Peace and serenity be unto you.

I smile because I see you safely made it to your Father's waiting embrace.

The things that made you who you were will never leave our hearts.

We will forever cherish the wonderful memories
you gave each and every one of us.

When we think of the things that made you you,

We smile with tears in our eyes. 

We cry but we are not mourning a loss.

We are honoring a person who earned her key to enter into 

heaven's gates.

A well deserved home going CELEBRATION.

So I won't b saying goodbye to you grandmother but what you always said to me...I'll see you later. 

So Long Friend.

I love you Nana.

.Amtrak.


amtrak..amtrak..
won't you come back..come back..
stole my heart like a run away train.
i'd be lying if i didn't say u run thru my brain.
hindsight stay 20/20
wasn't til then that she appreciated the beauty.
"i'm calling you daddy..daddy..can you be my daddy"..
future is hazy..but you stay like my gandhi..
detroit ran away wit it..
but its ok..cuz you know distance ain't shyt.
cuz i can fly.
the part i dread is goodbye.
the connection i have with you..
can't be matched.
too long. too strong. too deep.
my love for you is something hidden that i keep.
thank you for everything.

When You're Dead.

When You're Dead.

When you are wanting to kill yourself.

When you are dead, arguing doesn’t matter.

People’s feelings don’t matter.

Money doesn’t matter.

Having a nice house doesn’t matter.

Don’t need a car.

Don’t have to worry about the next meal.

Or making ends meet.

Don’t have to make anyone happy.

Don’t need money.

Don’t have to keep a job or keep customers happy.

You don’t have to do anything at all…

But die.

Don’t have to worry about being in love or if they love you back.

Or if they will ever have or be tempted to have moments of infidelity.

Don’t have to do well in school or need a degree even.

Don’t have to listen to anyone yelling.

Just sleep.

Just peace.

Just die.

.sexual.fluidity.


sexual fluidity

sexual orientation
is it innate or fixed?
flowing like a stream 
water overtaking
reflections 
deeper then the ocean
pain untamed
pleasures fulfilled
lustful intentions
burning desires
smooth fluid motions
him to her; her to her then him to him
lips gently brush..
hands on your chest.
make it rain
bring the pain
the reciprocal of viscosity
your body pressed against mine
flow beautiful on each other
your river runs over on mine
my thoughts jumble
just like sexual orientation.
be who you are
you are the Creator's creation.

.confidentiality

.confidentiality.


i'm so guarded because i value my confidentiality.
to know me for me,
one must gain a sense of intimacy.

i use a lot caution with my privacy.
i live a lot of life behind closed doors,
behind the walls of secrecy.

i confide in those i trust,
but it takes lots of years to get there
to avoid those judgmental creatures,
stay away from awkward dead stares.

when i'm imparting private matters
i use a confidential tone of voice.

only with someone i deem trustworthy, 
familiarity is my choice.

i'm private and restricted,
no secrets to be unearthed. 

i'm intimate with my intimacy, 
as caring as a nurse.

to get to my confidentiality,
to break the barrier wide.
you must look deep within
learn the secrets she holds inside.

.the struggle.


.the struggle.

it's kinda funny how life changes every second.
every minute completely different than the one previous. 
and thats me. 
that's who i am. 

the struggle. 

i'm changing drastically as time rolls along. 
i'm feelin' like a different girl than the one i was ten minutes ago. 
i'm feelin' used and abused. 

i'm feelin' down right lonely in an ugly society. 

the struggle. 

i'm feelin' neglected in my own world. 
and i'm hurting. 

the struggle. 

and as i dwell on what's goin on with me i'm thinking about all the things that i'm currently neglecting in my life by staying. 

i'm neglecting my education...
neglecting my family..
neglecting getting to know my little brother better...
neglecting bills...

the struggle.

i just don't understand what's goin on and i'm saddened. 

Saddened that someone could say..
"i want to devote myself to you" one minute,

and say "you can get the fuck out then.." 
in the next breath. 

and get the fuck out is what i want to do. 

but mostly it's get the fuck out of my life as it is...

let go!

and change it for the better. 
make more of a difference than i currently am. 

do the things that i was born to do. 

nurse. 
teach. 
write.
reach.
 change lives. 

i'm a very influential important person to our society... 

no one knows it yet. 
and its up to me to show them. 

and God willing.. 
i WILL show them.

i'm done struggling.
