Intimidation Is a Bitch

Intimidation is a bitch...
I open my mouth and you immediately get the urge to switch...
Switch conversations, I sadly find relations
In how my words flow and the way your body language goes.
Is it that I am too much for you? Or did I just catch you off guard?
Because I am a black woman I guess you find it hard,
Hard to believe that I can indeed intellectually take you there.
Its funny because for a moment you begin to stare...
Studying me as if I were material for a quiz
Let me guess, you want to know exactly how that is?
Let me remind you that this isn't year 1823...
I know my way around a book ... oh yes I can read.
I can read you backwards, left, sideways, and right...
And with the pages turned you're the one not looking so bright.
Get used to the fact of me being here.
I intend to move up...its time for you to overcome that fear.
That fear that I can actually do what you do...
I'm sorry, the fear that I can do it better because I'm nobody's fool.
Pick up your jaw, you may as well get used to me
Intimidation is a bitch...
Thank God I'm not even close to what you expected I would be.

So Sorry For Your Loss

I just heard that your baby boy passed away
I'm so sorry, wish there was something I could do... something I could say.
Even though words won't take away the pain
They might bring a bit of ease ... I don't know, maybe lessen the strain.
I can't imagine what you and yours must be going through
...and I won't pretend to either.
With so much going wrong, I know it's hard to stay a believer...
But I'm hoping that you will get down on your knees
and Pray to God that he might help you to see...
And if you are not strong enough to do this just yet
I'll do It for you... and for as long as you need.
Though I know your eyes may never find these words,
Want to sincerely let you know that indeed...
you still and will always have a friend in me.

Betrayal of My Heart

There is an everlasting battle fought between my heart and my mind

One thinking rationally while the other is simply blind.

The blind makes the decisions without thinking twice...

While leaving the rational forever looking to another for word of advice.

My heart leaves my body cold and ALONE to take the fall

If only there was a possibility ... room for a scuffle, even a single brawl...

I would tell it to just keep it's damn sensations, feelings, and emotions... simply leave me be!

I don't need any help because all its gotten me into is a pile of shit thats waist deep.

It's always right and at the same time wrong, Damn...motha fucka' just leave me the hell alone...

Yo' once the shit seemingly hits the fan, my heart is nowhere to be found

Of course then, I quickly make my move... I escape when that ass aint around

A few weeks, months of independence, Shit, I'm proud as I can be

But soon It returns, as will I... back to being naive, blind me.

What is Love?

What exactly does the word love mean?
Is it the feeling two get when no other can intervine?
Is it the butterflies inside each time you are around?
Or the panic I experience when you can't be found?
Is it the need you suggest for me when your'e not feeling well?
Could it be the way I know what you're thinking when no one else can tell?
Is it those sweet glances we give while the other is asleep?
Or perhaps its the comfort we provide eachother as we weep?
Love is the way you grab me and hold me tight...
And whenever my feet hurt you'd rub them all night...
It's how you look deeply into my eyes
And laugh so freely because I am by your side.
Its how you say yes when you want to say no...
Even when you let it slide because I like to think what I say goes :-)
Its when you pick me up something on your way home
And when your'e running late you give me a ring on the phone.
Love is how you wouldn't let me leave without putting up a fight
And even when I know you are wrong ... I let you think you are right.
Love is how I admire your smile, your walk, and ability.
And when you dont judge... you just simply adore the silly side of me.
Love is how you'll always be there...
Love is simply because you continue care.
Love is much more than these words can keep...
Love is in its richest form when it comes to you and me.

Forever Friends

Just as the ink flows from this pen... As i write, the pain flows from within. Like tears on a rainy day, all that is inside is disguised. Covered with laughter, silly jokes and a shy grin...my pride, I continue to defend.

The best friend one could acquire... never needing a favor in return is what I admire. Listening, no interruptions, forever understanding, no abruptions.... Open me up and we are read the same...I empty my soul onto each of your pages. And as the chapters unfold , my heart moves closer to a state of peace, I give you company and you so faithfully continue to give me releif ...

Just Me

Communication thru this pen is just what I do...

don't like it? No hard feelings... Keep it movin'.

I walk wit a swagger, I sing a sweet tune,

I eat way too much, and stand at 5'2.

My skin is light, My hair is short.

Glasses for my sight with a smile you could adore.

Never worn makeup a day in my life and an occasional sew in suits me just right.

I've got GOD on my side and a dose of that ARMY pride.

At night I lay my head down at MY OWN place...

Pushin my own car and with my own views, I became my own star.

With a gap in my teeth and Reebok classics on my feet,

I just enjoy LIFE with the freedom of being ME!
