Sometimes, I feel like my world is tumbling down. So I battle fear, and persevere, To keep my feet on solid ground. It's easier said than done, When no one's there when you look around. Not a person in sight.... Only silence, not a sound. See the glass half full, Not empty, is what they say. But what else am I to do When nothing seems to go my way? Life's cycle's been recycled, oh what an ode to the. My soul fights to take flight, But stays trapped by gravity. My heart and mind are stuffed, emotions implode and explode like bombs, So I scream, wiping tear streams, Drop to my knees and start to nod. I lie here unclothed, now stripped of my facade. I am nothing more than a Broken-winged bird Whose eyes are watching God.

Cjsmom says: @Ladypoet thank you. I really enjoy this site. It helps me release. I appreciate you reading my work. @mrmelody I like silence as well, but not when it's forced or awkward lol. @Corey, I can't tell you how right you are about that. Thank you for your words. |

Unborn Love Letter (Tribute for MLK Day 1/18/16)When I feel you move inside of me, teardrops dance in my eyes. Then I think of all that you are, and truly begin to cry. You are the best thing I've done, yet I weep for you my son. Not for how you'll look, but for what they'll try to do. You will be brave and strong, DO NOT LET THEM DEFEAT YOU! They'll beat you, rob you, kill YOUR young sons. They're afraid and silently envious, of what you'll become. I weep for everything that is you, which is all that I am. Son, I weep for you.. because you're a black man. |
