A Black Woman, Nothing Else

There used to be a time when
I was ashamed of my skin.
I received tormenting jokes
from all of my friends.

Of course it wasn't done
to make me feel this way
But being black gave me much dismay.

"African, charcoal, Black Baby",
I would hear
But no one even noticed or knew
That I had silent tears.

Those names became nicknames and
I'd hear them everyday at school
‘Cause when I was young and growing up
I'd play by my peers rules.


One day when I was still young
My father left us all
And married a white woman
Who beckoned his every call.

I was really ashamed of my skin then,
I thought it was very bad,
I thought the white woman had something
Which I could never have.

But one day when I was still young
I met a black lady darker than I was,
She cherished and boasted that her
Color was a gift from above.

She told me that I was beautiful -
Something no one had ever done.
She said, "your skin is
So black and smooth-
Which shows the perfecting of the sun".

She said, "To match the pretty black skin
Your teeth are white as snow
And I'm sure that you will show them
Everywhere that you go".

Everyday she would tell me this
And her words began to spread.
They came from other people
I never even met.

The words of my friends changed to,
"Let me feel your face

And let me see you grin"-
For sister, you are beautiful-
Be proud of the color of your skin.

Now, I'm not ashamed of my skin
Though obstacles it may bring.
I proclaim to the world that I am
A Black Woman, the element of spring.

I blossom with happiness
And pride within myself
For I am A Black Woman
And I wish to be nothing else.

The End

I thought I couldn't survive another day after it ended, but i did, for you.
and i thrived on hope and the happy memories, those could always make me smile.
and then you took those memories away and spoiled them all,
mutilating and deforming them with all your lies.
and when the memories left, so did my hope.
now I'm left with nothing, and i cant survive another single day.
goodbye. remember ill always love you.

Proof Heart

The days filled with longing, for you ever more
but you left me behind in one second, to be drowned in dust.
I will never understand..
I loved you, cared for you,
would break my soul in half for you,
yet you left me here to rust.
I deny the emotions rushing like a storm,
even if I died tomorrow you'd think nothing of it and walk to another girl or boy...
I know how you work..
you'll leave every memory we had..
glance into the mask I show..
but things are different, I refuse to be your toy..

Someone I'm Not

Some people say to be like them,
But being unique is good,
It's different
People say different is bad,
Horrible
Not to exist
So are they saying,
That I'M not supposed to exist?
People tell me to be, special
But I can't be special when I'm being forced
I'm being told to be someone I'm not
Sure, I may not be pretty, smart, or athletic
Or preppy, popular, and rich
But beauty doesn't come from money, or looks
It counts from what is inside
From being yourself,
And not someone you're not

The Venom of the mind...

Hold my hand
Trust in me
Walk in sand
You will see

Ray of light
Head to toe
See the bright
There we'll go

Afraid not
I am here
Reach the lot
You're a dear

I am bad
You are good
Don't be sad
There's no mood

I lure you
You held it
What to do?
Just feel it

No such fate
It's you fault
No more date
Eat the salt

Suffer here
Feel the pain
You came here
You will drain

Bold Beauty

His innocent ways,
With every words he says.
Darkening eyes,
That hypnotize my mind.

The sly smile that he wears,
Makes it hard not to stare.
Thoughts that I wish would disappear,
From his mind as he faces a mirror.
Quickly turning away,
After one look he sighs in dismay.

If only you would see,
What I see when you look at me.
Your beauty with in and out,
Shown amongst you without a doubt.

Bold and Beauty.
No denying,
What I see.

Your heart, your soul
Extra ordinary like no other fool.
No one can compare.

Your voice whispers,
Causing me to smile.
Washing away my fear and anger,
With one touch of your hand.

His vibrant actions,
Cause my unforgettable attraction.
I love you dear.

A second chance,
To restart what unfolded.
By your side,
Never wanting to leave.
My love.

Bold and Beauty mixed with in.
If only you would see what I see,
When I look at you.

Your sly smile.
Darkening eyes.
Vibrant moves.
Unforgettable words.
You are Extra ordinary.

Light

Here I lay
Shrouded in cold, ever lasting darkness
No past...
No Present...
No future....
But out of no where
A ray of light appears, washing away the darkness
And in that light
There's an angel
Smiling as she extends her hand
Pulling me into her warm embrace
She tells me that there's nothing to fear
Slowly she takes me into the light, washing away all of my fears and my pain
"Don't let go" I whisper, feeling the light touch my heart
But as soon as it came, it was gone
As the darkness reappears, I see a light glowing in my chest
Then I hear her voice...
Calling softly from the fearsome dark
"I won't let you go"

Temptation

Lays their on the floor with tears in her eyes.
What happened to her a thousand reasons to smile?
Completely shattered inside.
With not knowing whether to continue or not.
Wears a smile so big no one can see through to see her pain.
So tempted to go back to her old friend .
Who's been hidden in a box for no one to find.
Ready to be visited one more time.
So lost in this world feel so alone.

You and I

A little more time and you will see
It is meant to be, You and me
Time is a wonder, A thought to ponder
How long will I wait, For you to take
our hands held,Arms wrapped around
Our two feet firm on the ground
No one will touch us, Tell us were wrong
Cause whenever we're together its a song
One of love, and people together
For its you and me forever
Only time will tell, Take me from this hell
Give me your heart, And mix it with mine
Click Clock is the sound that it makes
With you next to me I will always wake
Up close next to you face to face
Together both our hearts will race
Don't play this game that they play with myhead
Because surelly that'll be the reason to be dead
The clock on the wall keeps on turning
Wanting you in my arms to stop from hurting
I'll wait right here until your ready
We can take it slow and steady
So let me know what you want
i lay right here till its thought
My six last words I give to you
I want you more and more
So before you leave out that door
Let me know its for sure

Her suicide

This racket I hear in the back of my head
I hear rambling, from the dead
The love you once showed, now blown
This is how it needs to be known
Her tears, Made of crystal
The mind gone by a pistol
One last breathe to let loose
The knot tied in a noose
Her two hands on her chest
While they lie her down to rest
Everyone looks and crys real hard
A memorial in the yard
A girl who barely knew the world
She thought it was all a chore
When all the boys called her a whore
She knew she didn't want it no more
Shes dead and gone and they now care
Her heart is gone without dispare
With friends and family all around
They all look down at the ground
Now three years and your still gone
At this grave your name in stone
You were to young to have left this life
You ended it all by the knife

What To Say When Your Boyfriend Breaks Up With You (applicable to guys and girls)

• I think it’s probably for the best. I didn’t want to hurt your feelings, but I realised a while ago that I see you as more of a brother figure.
• That's alright, because I love you BUT I'm not in love with you.
• I had a feeling your heart wasn’t in it anymore, because there didn’t seem to be any passion there.
• I think I’ve been guilty of romanticizing the whole thing. You’re not really everything I thought you’d be.
• That's okay, I know I'm not your type. I'm not inflatable!
• If you're going to hurt me, do it quickly... Because I'm not spending any more time crying over someone who's not going to stick around.
• Thanks - because I fell out of love with you ages ago and just didn't know how to tell you.
• Oh, that's a relief because I've fallen in love with someone else.
• OK, no hard feelings - So is it OK if I date your best friend/boss/brother/father?
• OK, let's bury this relationship and be done with it.
• I want to break up too, because I couldn't stand another day being around you.
• I guess you don’t realize how much you care about someone until they don’t care about you.
• Oh. Poor me!
• Yeah well i was getting kind of bored dating you.
• Well we were going to split over religious differences sooner or later anyway, what with you thinking you're God and me disagreeing...
• Well, all I can say is thankyou for being the one to show me what kind of guy I don't want to be with.
• Gosh you must have been reading my mind - I've wanted out of this crappy relationship with you for weeks now!
• Hmmm. I'm just wondering what I was doing when you decided you didn't want me any more!
• I want to thank you for giving me the worst day of my life.
• Oh thank goodness - now I don't have to pretend I've been happy in our relationship!
• If one day I actually start to matter, let me know.
• Well, my big mistake wasn't falling for you. It was being foolish enough to think you fell for me too.

Remember the Time

Let the sands of time flow by...
Let this life fade away...
Just remember yesterday...
Remember how the war ended...
Remember how time stopped...
Remember the time when we thought we could never die...
Remember the time when we thought we could fly...
Let the sands of time claim another night...
Let this life break away..
Just remember yesterday...
Remember how we shared a dance...
Remember how you gave me a chance...
Remember the time they broke your heart...
Remember the time I found you in the dark...
I wish to mend your heart...
Let the sands of time pass by my life....
Let me fade away...
Only to bring you another day...
Forget yesterday....
