Shining star

"A yellow star shines with a happy ray of light glowing red. He does not notice the other stars are yellow and shine with a white ray . He does know that the sky around him is dark , and that he has to shine to be seen from earth, but shine brighter to be remembered"

-Angie B.

My sun, my moon and my star

My brother is life, my soul, my hopes, my dreams, my heart

His smile can light my darkest day, its hard when we're apart

I love my brother because I should I know he loves me too

When Im with this tiny boy we have so much to do.

He doesn't fuss a lot I know, unless I have to leave

But this is for my baby boy you mean a lot to me

you down with O.P.D?

It will be ok

Tears fill my eyes as I look up at the sky but I refuse to let myself cry.

I refuse to feel bad for myself anymore, as my mother said why live in the past if we are in the future.

But the fact of the matter is we need the past to not only build the future but to learn from it.

Scares left unseen to others eyes but will always be known by me. I have gotten so good at pretending everything is ok I'm starting to believe it. People look at me and see nothing wrong, they see a simple smile plastered on my face reminding them of good times. They do not see eyes that fight back pain and tears. They see in my walk a since of pride and togetherness instead of the weakness and insecruities in every step.

But I will left my head up and soon everything is ok will not be an act on the t.v. of my life, It will nolonger be pretending.

I will place my fears, and scares at the door

Pretty woman

I write in you with words of a child, with imagination not presented in these words I use. The vision I create has no life, no meaning beyond this page. I will rewrite the best thinng I have ever written. " A skinny woman the color of an easter egg dyed in the sun and washed from cotton clouds and pink lilies entered the room. Hair of chocolate brown at the roots faded to dirty blonde tickled her elbows, eyes of murky brown hiding behind gray contacts and eye lashes curled to perfection. Lipstick, cherry red spread on thick to cover the cuts in her lips, and cheeks powered pink because rosy red wasn't her color. All that was noticed was a faint white smile that disappered in the mirror, and a coke bottle shape she didn't believe she had; but she still hid her beauti her true beauti from the world. One day it will all disappear, the lights will dim and her number will be called and a question will arise. Did she live just to die?" Those words I had written not to long ago with no intetion of being this woman and even to this day I look at these words to remind myself I will never be this woman. If you are looking for some sober story about how my life is hard ns unsastainable I don't have one, but my story is just as important as the next.

chillin wit one of ma besties

A's are the bizzle

jus chillin

Just goofin off

Friends

changing

Blackest night a wind so strong, My eyes glow red wit anger.

Ashamed to know the man I knew so long, is now a stranger

But I'm not disappointed, and my rage is not for him.

See it was I who changed and broke the line that keep us tied together

I swore to him no matter what we'd always have each other.

But times got hard for me and him are life was quick to change

I had to move and change with it, I didn't stay the same

So my anger now I hold in my heart is only toward myself.

For breaking our plan and pushing aside the person close to me

if you are here I want to say that I am so sorry.

When you needed me most I was not at my post, but please can you for give me?

Got My Wings

I remember the sweet words of freedom escape your lips, sugar stained and brightly colored

This freedom you spoke so kindly of, "The white winged Angel" I muttered

I got the thinking and hoping this freedom of a white winged angel would come and fly me away

So on a starlight night I awaited my flight, from night till day

But it never showed up my white wings of hope,

"Might as well rest my poor neck threw the loop of that rope"

"Stupid negro, only wings you'll see, are the ones you'll grow hanging from that tree"

the white devil told me

"say what you want I'll get my wings, one way or another"

I started to sing

and sure enough he marked my words

as the mountains moved that startled the birds,

The sun golden bright,

with all my might, I sang

"Say what you want I'll get my wings, one way or another

My voice all but screamed

Stepped on to a stool, rope lose but tight around my neck,

ain't bother to fight,

took one deep breath and sang some mo

Holding on to my life by the edge of my toe

"I'll get my wings, you wait and see"

"then you white devils can't bother with me"

He kicked the stool sound like a bouncing ball,

but to their surprise I didn't fall at all

Instead I flew,

Like I said I'd do

My wings so soft and white with a shade of blue,

my white winged angel showed up,"I'd knew you come through"

and my freedom I got as we both flew away,

now those mean white devils got nothing to say

who applauds me?

I watch the tears, and see your pain hidden in your face,

It almost works that wore out smile plastered on your face,

If only I hadn't see your eyes, that yell and scream inside.

your sorrow, hurt, and regret you all so well can hide,

I applaud you sister for making me believe your just as happy as you use to be,

I applaud you brother your anger you hide although it's breaking you, like a hammer to a plastic key.

Or is it me I applaud? for saying it will be okay, for promising a brighter day,

When I know so well the pain you feel, but try so hard to pretend it's not real.

Is it me I applaud? for a smile I can fake that seems so real that everyone else smiles too.

Or how about the lies I tell to keep my living life from hell, to try and live like once before

Do I applaud me? for my skillful joy that lingers when I leave, although inside like the rest of you I grieve.

Who applauds me for the hurt that I've caused? And the joy that I bring to fix it all

Who applauds me for the things that I've done? for the hope that I have, for the love that I give?

Who applauds me When the world turns their back on me, when the ATTACKS are thrown at once?

I applaud me, and you applaud you. If we do not know our own worth who else will?

So we must know what we are, who we are, and where we're going.

To all of you We applaud each other because we are strong 

So remember that you  applaud you and if you do it right every on else will applaud you too.

My created proverb

"Fear is poison, its only antidote is courage"

This means fear can keep you from living, and a life run by fear is no life at all. 

Leon Stan

Beware of Leon Stan,

THis man puts thief in thief

He's a the master of it all, a real crooked man

This man he stole my golden cap directly off my teeth

He dresses really well and now I know why

With blue buttoned shirt cuffs that were red

He had to steal that shirt off  the back of  some guy

Maybe he gambled or haggled then fled

Leon Stan is quick, Leon Stan is cool

He ends up with it all and takes it bit by bit

Leon must have broken every rule

But got away with it

So if your stuff just ran away

Leon Stan found your house today

Storm Sestina

Whistles in the wind, the night that's dark and cold

We cuddle by the fire, we talk , laugh, and play

Th rain now starts to fall, harder than before

Lighting strikes a tree right outside my door

He pulled me closer, "it will all be over soon"

He tells me once again, "It will all be over soon"

Now the thunders screaming, louder than before

It never took so long before, night turning to day

To keep our minds off the rain, a game we continued to play

Sitting by the fire, We covered up, but yet we're still freezing cold

As our lights blow out and fire dies down, there was a knock at the door

Ode to my robe

Oh lovely Robe

I got today

For Christmas eve

Your fluffy balls

On a string

Entertain me

Your sown with

clouds and bunnies

and cotton balls

All dyed red

You keep me

Warm and dry

When I wear you

I feel like I can fly

The moon

The moon tells a story to all,

As the sky listens and stars do a magical dance

The flowers dream of sea

And the stones dream of being like me

The night guides the lake as the morning will take,

The stars and the moon away,

The moon tells a story to all

As dawn begins t

Night now falls

Go steelers

         Bright yellow and black

 With whitened stripes on their back

             Steelers are the best

What they didn't tell us

"Life ain't easy" is what we're always told

But they never said just how hard it is.

Everywhere I look I people struggling to survive

The reality of it is not everyone is treated the same

No one ever told us there would be so much ever told us there would be so much hatred and ignorance of the great things we can become

They never told us we can make it,

that we can own Corps; and be president, and not just be doctors but own hospitals.

Instead they told us we would drop out of school at 16, or that all girls of our color will all be pregnant before 18, that we are to dumb to learn,

so they dumb down the material, but we let them!

WE prove them right everyday, we do just what they said we would do.

But what about what they didn't tell us?

Some of you were told you would never accomplish anything, SO prove them wrong

Who says we're any different than Whites or Asians, But we are

Not because we're dumb, but because we don't apply yourselves to things that matter.

"We aren't good for anything but killing each other" they say

We make up excuses on why we're not "equal"

I don't know about you but I'm going to forget what they told us and focus on what they didn't.

I want to be great things and you should too,

You should no longer focus on the people who told you you can't make it , and focus on the people who told you you can, or the people who haven't met you yet.

We can be so much more than teenage moms and drug dealers.

WE ARE EQUAL, and it's time to prove it.

Know what they have tried to hide from us, no longer be ignorant of our races greatness,

We have to work as one so that other people can know our greatness too

Now you know what they didn't tell us and its your chose on what you do with it

Fire

Fire

Blazing and hot,

purple, yellow, orange, and red switching 

contained jar its in 

Reflect 

In it's jar contained switching red and orange, yellow, purple,

hot and blazing

Fire.

Say good night

Good night I said to my son,

My time with him is over and done

AT least for today or so I thought

A car crashed to mine, my body was caught,

No longer alive, I look down at him

Good night my son, is name is Tim.

My Death

My favorite book that I read

My only dog I loved and fed

I went to sleep in my soft warm bed,

and all I know is now I'm dead

Lies of Truth

The lies of truth escapes your lips like darkened light in a shallow pit,

You know, but you don't the lies of truth that you told like a thin, black line that's finally bold,

You crack a smile that growls at me, my angry peace fads shockingly,

But I smile and I wave back at you, Not saying the things I wanted to,

The lies of truth like a neatly spun web that goes on and on 

Only to stop when your dead

David Jr. Jr. (dedicated to my 9month old brother DJ)

Tommy Loom

You won't believe what I saw today, standing on a wrench

A little boy about my age, whose height was just an inch,

"Hello there" he said to me smiling waving too

"my name is Tommy Loom, And you are?" he said now jumping in my hand

"My name is Tommy Loom too expect it's Tommie Lou

"Nice to meet you Tommie Lou" he said

He climb into pack of gum I thought to be his bed

"Now I must go to sleep, and Tommie so should you, Cause therefore in the morning there's lots of things to do"

I took the tiny pack of gum upstairs to my room and there we both slept peacefully, Me and Tommy Loom

The moving mouth

Oh mighty beast with scales on skin and eyes red with rage,

In the pit of your stomach the rage of hell released and tamed again

On the curve of your back armored spikes that separate both your wings

Your razor teeth and sharpened claws can rip me apart

Oh mighty beast with scales on skin and sings of yin and yang

Oh mighty beast I'll slaughter you and learn to tame your fire

This mighty beast can't hurt a fly! I'll take your head home with me

I spoke to soon, I said to much, now his's toasted me

My head departed, my body burnt to bits

My head still tells the story threw a glass jar

The beast has won the war because my mouth still moves

In a freezing cave, on a leathered shelf lies my severed head and my moving mouth

Fuego Anhel

Her eyes were balls of fire

Her hair were flames as well

Her ears were sharp and pointy 

Her  home was down in hell

Her teeth were sharpened fangs

Her nails were eagle claws

This crazy girls's a lion she eats all her meat raw

Her roar was an earthquake, it destroyed, it shook, it took

Her mind is a basket filled with evil ideas and looks

Her heart was an ice box sucked up in a black hole, and it sucked up everything

Nothing was left as whole

Her looks are an angel, Stunning beyond belief

expect those pointy fangs those things she used as teeth

This girl that I describe her name is Fuego Anhel

all men and boys beware, she only preys on males

Just because she can

If you see Fuego you should have already ran

the crow

A Blackened bird with feathered wings like tar and dirty ice

A shiny bill and tiny tongue that sqeaks and sqawks like mice

It's glassy eyes and percing  stare sends shivers down your spine 

It follows you, It watches you, attacks and makes you blind

Removing flesh, you fight it off and try to run away

It calls it's friends, you meet again, and stops you on the way

Buzzards fly, flies buzz, around your few remains

The bird it laughs, devouring flesh, you've finally gone insane

You snap awake and sit up straight and look around the room

The evil crow just laughs at you "Prepare to meet your doom"

I too am America (Remake)

I, too, sing America

I'm the stand that holds the tree

They tell m to watch my younger siblings

That I have no choice,

But I smile,

and teach well

and love all

Fore tomorrow

I will have the world

My siblings shall have it too

You won't dare say "Stay here" to me then.

Besides

They will see my greatness

and finally be proud

I, Too, am America

The sky is falling

While the sky is falling I wonder what peanut butter and jelly would taste like on toast,

The fluffy, clear blue sky, falling, seagulls flying away,

Like love the sky don't care who it hurts,

Like friends peanut butter and jelly are a great mix,

Nice, cool day like always,

Oh yeah, expect the sky is falling

Crystal ball

I stare into a crystal ball, it shows me now a empty hall,

My life and what it use to be, before i found my destiny

I stare into a crystal ball, now showing me lonely star, which tells me not to ever stop until I reach the lonely top.

Without this crystal ball I see my life would be a hollowed tree, a empty hall, or used up can.

This crystal ball I use today, can flash my whole life in a single day

Tears

I feel the water warm and dry,

It frightens me as it leaves my eye,

It rolls down my cheek and on to my neck,

It falls from my shirt threw the holes in the deck.

It waits for its friends to slowly race down,

Then together they sink into the cold hard ground,

Under a rock the tears are now bound.

the time has past a week, a month, a year

Than a beautiful flower is grown from my tears
