\nDescription<\/p>\n
LUST
\nThe things I sometimes succumb to mentally and physically. Is it fantasy or the freedom from commitment I truly seek. Sometimes, the feelings confuse me because its similar to love, only temporary attachment. The false connection clouds my ability to withdraw from participating even though I\u2019m aware that its momentary fulfillment. There are often times when my weaker self\u2026wins.<\/p>\n
LESSONS
\nMoments that humble, help or hinder you. To be better because you know better. The best administrator of choices and consequences. Growth and wisdom determines pass or fail. Class is always in session. The student never becomes the teacher.<\/p>\n
LOVE
\nThat feeling of its meant to be and I\u2019m going to accept you being free, with me. The willingness to embrace flaws, disagree to make up and inhale while your significant only exhales for you. Eyes filled with awe and anger. Kissing honest but sometimes lying lips. Feeling pleasure and pain. It\u2019s better to have loved and not lost.<\/p>\n
LIFE
\nChoose to live daily instead of once as the clich\u00e9\u2019 proclaims. Merely existing allows others and situations to decide if you win or lose, the privilege to be happy or sad and it relinquishes your power to follow those you designated through indecisiveness instead of leading the life you were meant to control. Live it or it is lived for you. Either way you are a participant.<\/p>\n
LUST, LESSONS, LOVE AND LIFE<\/p>\n
BLACK OR WHITE<\/p>\n
Too urban for white Too light for black<\/p>\n
Focus on my character, values and morals Instead of the color I lack<\/p>\n
What makes black beautiful or unjustifiably catapults white<\/p>\n
And who the hell gave you authority on which ethnicity is right<\/p>\n
EXPRESSIONS TO MY EX<\/p>\n
You impressed me, finessed me, enchanted me<\/p>\n
You warmed me, charmed me, embraced me<\/p>\n
You soothed me, showered me, pacified me<\/p>\n
You composed me, consoled me, comforted me<\/p>\n
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD<\/p>\n
If its understanding, loyalty or forgiveness that you seek<\/p>\n
Forget it, behold the new me, I’m tired of being weak and meek<\/p>\n
Loved, desired and adored you, I use to treasure your touch<\/p>\n
You ask do I want you back, hell no, and I no longer miss you much<\/p>\n
IF ONLY YOU KNEW; TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN<\/p>\n
If you only knew that the void you left was never filled<\/p>\n
That the pain and sadness is masked by my superwoman shield<\/p>\n
The feelings of inadequacy as you left your child behind<\/p>\n
The scars and childhood images of me fatherless plague my mind<\/p>\n
CHICK ON THE SIDE<\/p>\n
Settle for less, giving away more<\/p>\n
I’ll do whatever it takes to enter through your relationship door Accepting what’s left, callous to doing what’s morally right Watch out, it may be your man that’s in my sight<\/p>\n
Open my legs and bag of tricks but keep my heart closed<\/p>\n
Hell, it’s not MY fault, you knew he was a cheater when he proposed<\/p>\n
EMANCIPATION FROM IGNORANCE<\/p>\n
“Ignorance has left the building.” Discounted hand me down chick, illiterate apple bottom nor sperm donor depository will categorize my existence. Loose me from the chains of devaluing education, being fundamentally unskilled, financially reckless and socially untrained. Free me from the pain of being sexually depreciated, mentally mangled and emotionally raped. I\u2019m a hostage to stupidity, spiritual emptiness, careless sperm donors, disrespectful males, conniving predators posing as friends and my two-faced inner me.<\/p>\n
FACING MYSELF<\/p>\n
How do you move forward from a feeling that may never be duplicated? I think the mind and eyes may play tricks on us BUT the heart does not lie. The emptiness that consumes one during the absence of a fulfillment that can only be satisfied by the one that made your heart beat, gave your soul life and your senses joy. The hurt you feel when those things are no longer a part of your life can be described as a void that will never be filled and it will forever yearn inside of you.<\/p>\n
IMAGINE<\/p>\n
Imagine being truly free to speak, love and live<\/p>\n
Imagine receiving more than you give<\/p>\n
Imagine being able to forget the past<\/p>\n
Imagine being considered first instead of last<\/p>\n
Imagine a world without glass houses<\/p>\n
Imagine unconditionally faithful spouses<\/p>\n
Imagine your significant other eyes only for you<\/p>\n
Imagine your lover words being true<\/p>\n
I REMEMBER<\/p>\n
I remember your smile, your touch your walk<\/p>\n
I remember your kiss, your scent your talk<\/p>\n
