Once or Twice

She and He w/Rowdy Solomon

"I believe that people can change. I believe that some people truly learn from their past. That they can move beyond it and be anew." Robin. J

S H E
She is not that same girl you once knew
Who only thought
About
Her own self
Who didn't know how to love
Or how
to be LOVED

She is no longer
That hurt little girl
Who couldn't let go of all the pains
That caused her to
Plays games with men's hearts to get ahead
Only ever considering her own self
Because it felt better that way

She who fell into the abyss
Of
Heartbreaks
Mistakes
Casual Sex
And Loneliness
That caused her heart to grow cold

She has move past her
She no longer exists

Life has changed her
In ways only God knows
She has emerged this
Beautiful soul

Moving p...

Freedom

Freedom
Is when you final realize your worth
When you finally stop allowing people to treat you any type of way.
When you stop them from coming and going and going and coming in your life
It is when you break the binds the bind you to someone toxic
Someone who drains the life out of you
Who suffocates you with their presence
Who restricts you with their emotions
Who holds you captive in the past with their baggage

When you finally get the courage
To say I have had enough
You no longer allow them
To rent space in your brain and in your life for free
You start charging them for every second, every minute and every hour
That they attempt to steal from your life
Freedom is being free from anything or anyone that
That tries to hold you down, that constrains your life or imprisons you in the past.

Freedom is finally being able
To truly let go of ...

Love to My Black Brothas

Black Brotha, Strong Brotha, there is no - one above ya! I want ya, to know that, I'm here for you - that's forever true (In my Angie Stone sangin voice)

Love to our . . . . Black Brothas
Just want to take the time to lift you up to let you know that you are LOVED

To let you know that you are valued and you are significant, no matter how much Society may try to devalue and emasculate you.
I see the very things that holds you together.
I see you struggle through the stormy weather.
I know it ain't always been easy.
Though I don't know what it is to be a Black Man.
I want you to know that I do try hard to understand.

I see all the small things that you do. . . .
Picking the kids up, cooking late night meals, paying the bills, working two jobs so we can have, things we as women take for granted.
For all those small unnoticed things you do.
All...

Just a F@ck

Let's just keep this as a ***
Don't want to get my emotions involved
I just want some when I want it
So let me slide this wet down on it
So answer when I call
I promise it won't take long
Not trying to take all your time
Just want a little bump and grind

No need in catchin feelings
I'm leaving them under lock and key
No I don't want to cuddle afterwards
Just wash up, get dressed and walk yoout the door
See the world has made me like this
Makes it easy for me to be
Coldhearted and emotionless
Not wanting to give my love anymore
Got my middle finger up screamin "*** LOVE"

So let's just keep this as a ***
No need for deep conversations
No back rubs
No lingering stares
Can you just pass me my panties
So I can just get the *** out of here
And no I don't want no hug
...

Bull

I am not open to anymore bull and lies that only leave me teary eyed. That only leave me left picking up pieces that I didn't even break. That only leave heartbreak and distrust at my door step and you had the audacity to not even wipe your feet. My soul needs to be nourished, I will not sit down at the table with you any longer without something to eat, eat with, eat on and a glass to drink, so that I may refresh my soul. I am worth more than your occasional text, late night booty calls or no text or calls at all. Yet you seem muddled at my unwillingness to rush to be in your grace. I will not undress my body nor my soul for half ass-NESS, that are apart of your elaborate excuses, only meant to cause delusions in my mind. I am not open anymore to the pollution you spew that sound like a dream, but not one word do you mean and it leaves me hollow inside. I can not stand by while you womanize before my eyes, while telling me you love me. I am not open to allowing my self to gi...

Open My Soul

If I open my soul
And poured it all out
Laid it on a platter for all to see
Would anyone understand the depths of me
If peeled back the layers
Exposed my Truths
Would anyone know what to do
If I unveiled my heart
Displayed all the pieces
That have been torn apart
Would anyone care
To help me mend it back together
If from the start
I showed you all my broken parts
Would anyone take the time to help
Reconstruct
What once was
Our would they look at all the pieces
Scattered about
And only see the pieces of me they want to see.

The awkwardness about you
Is what drew me to you
Your boyish smile
Your knowledge of the world
Your openness to my love
The way you accept me for who I am
How I am
Imperfect
How I can be naked in-front of you
With no fear of judgement

It's unexplainable how we connect
How we fit just right, like puzzled pieces that don't really connect
Your friendship is refreshing
Your blunt honesty much needed
Your zest for life is energizing
The innocence of you
Keeps me grounded
Opposite in more ways than one
Your different than most
I have encountered in my lifetime

Keeping me on my toes
Uplifting my spirit with your random quotes and silly jokes
Always
Such a sight for sore eyes
Loving you is easy because you're Awkwardly Beautiful
You have made my life Beauteous as you would say
I fa...

My Words

If I wrote everything thing I thought down
Social Media would be covered in words of
Pain and Pleasure
Love and Hate
Distrust and Loyalty
Relationships and Situationships
Faith and Unbelieving
Laughter and Tears
Family and Fami-emies
Friends and Frien-emies
Justice and Injustice
Marriage and Divorce
Lies and Honesty
Selfishness and Selflessness
Blackism and Racism
Peace and Conflict
Life and Death
Words filled with Emotions
From all the Bull and Joys of what we encounter along our Journey called LIFE. . .
It would be covered in a canvas of words touching every emotion you have ever felt and maybe some you have yet to experience. Words that may touch some (which I pray do), Words that may offend others (don't give 2 ***s if they do), maybe helpful to some and hurtful to others.
At the end the day though
They would be my words, expre...

Acting Like You

The minute I start acting like you
There seems to be a problem
You stay with an attitude

When I don't answer your calls
Ignore your text
You always accusing me
Of being with my ex

When were together and my mind
Isn't all there
You always accusing me that I don't care

When I'm rarely available to spend time with you
And do the things you want to do
You always accusing me of being untrue

When I get dressed up in my ***'em dress
Step out at night to release some stress
You always accusing me of being a hoe
Talkin about I'm giving your goodies away

But little do you know
What you can't even see
Take a good look in the mirror
Is everything you accusing me of
Are all the things you do to me

When They See Us

When you see us
Why do you cross the street
Why do you clutch your purse to your side
Why does your heart skip a beat
When you see us
Tell me what do you see
What is it about us the causes you to be so mean
What make you beat, murder and emasculate our KINGS
When you see us
Why does fear take control
Why is your only solution..... to try and take our souls
When you see us
Why is it your quick to dial 911
Why is it your quick to shoot with your guns
Why is it you only see a thug
Why are you constantly killing and imprisoning our sons
When you see us
What do you see
Why do you see danger
Simply in the color of our skin
Are you an extension of your ancestors
Only in a different form
Are you the new KKK
In present Amerika
Boldly you try to destory us
With out the White Sheets
