Note To Self

Don't let other people
Influence the decisions you make
Don't let other people's opinions
Hinder the risks that you take

Other people are not for you
They won't be there in the end
If they're not happy for you now
They won't be happy when you win

They don't want you to have joy
They only like when you're in pain
They want you to be like them
They want everyone to be the same

Not doing much
Same life, living low
No future, no aspirations,
No ambition, no goals

If you want to be different
You have to set yourself apart
You may hear their words
But don't take them to heart

Rise above the hatred
You know who you are;
You exceed expectations.
Note to self, you're a star.

Damsel In Distress

What is the world,
But an oyster to you?
What are other people,
If not aids to help you

What purpose do you serve?
What do you know how to do?
Nothing. Nothing at all
But sit, waiting for someone to save you.

You poor damsel
Always in distress
I wish I could respect you
But you're just too helpless

Other people use their legs,
Their feet, and their brain
You know one day,
You should do the same

But you would rather be a burden
It really is a shame
I think you like to struggle
You want life to be a pain

You poor damsel
Always in distress
I wish I could respect you
But you're just too helpless

Things could be better
If you would at least try
But that means you actually have to do something,
You prefer to just cry

Cry and complain
Complain, moan and sigh
"World look at me, please!
Or else I'll die"

You poor damsel
Always in distress
I wish I could respect you
But you're just too helpless

One day I pray you learn
To do things by yourself
Instead of choosing not to move
Without the assistance of someone else

One day no one will be there
To hear you when you call
And the world won't stop
To brace your fake fall

You poor damsel
Always in distress
I wish I could respect you
But you're just too helpless

Priority Disorder

Keeping up with the Joneses
Tit for tat
Caught up in competition
"You got this? I'll get that"

Let me 1up you
Everything an attack
"Whatever you do,
I have to fight back"

Destroying ourselves
Breaking up our homes
Pride over love
Ending up alone

The things that define us
Are the things that we own
The the things that we've done
And the things that we've shown

Driven by jealousy
Feeding our greed
Filled with envy
Eyes glow green

Superficial materialism
Behavior obscene
Prioritizing what we want
Above what we need

Words

Words
Nouns, adjectives, verbs...
Synonyms and antonyms
That constitute similes, metaphors, acronyms,

...and phrases

That by the brush of the tongue
Illustrate life
In all its phases

And by the collab
of heart and hand
Bring life
to blank pages...


Words,
Used to persuade,
Used to describe
Used to express
What is felt inside

Used to connect
Used to divide,
Used at your discretion
But in your selection,
Be wise

I'M Just Me

So I'm into fashion,

So I like design

So my ears may glisten,

And I may not mind

But just because I like it

Doesn't mean that I'm

Materialistic


So I'm a performer,

So I like to shine,

I may attract a crowd,

And I may not mind

But just because I like it

Doesn't mean that I'm

In need of attention


So let me clarify

The reason for this rhyme,

This is what I like to do

When I have spare time

But just because I do it

Doesn't mean that I'm

Trying to gain recognition


People just assume,

But never understand

I'm not doing this for you

I do it cause I can

I just like to live

Jealousy is not the plan

I have good intentions

User Mentality

Gimme, gimme, gimme
Take, take, take
But when it's time to give,
"I don't have it. Not today"

The only giving I know
Is when others give to me
Forget other people
It's all about my needs

If you have what I want
I'll do what I can
Just to allure you,
Then trap you like quick sand

I lie and I lie,
I cheat and I cheat
Whatever it takes
I have no integrity

My craft is manipulation
My heart is a black hole
The only thing I care about
Is the image I uphold

I pretend to be nice
And I appear to be sweet
But that's just an act
I'm corrupted with greed

I'm warped in evil
Spoiled to the core
It's never enough
I always want more

I'm the center of the universe
Everything revolves around me
I'm the most important thing
To ever live and breathe

I'm the sun and the moon,
The stars and the sky
When it comes to personality,
I'm Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Why am I like this?
Don't ask me
I guess God made me selfish
With a user mentality

I Actually Liked You

I actually liked you
But there's nothing I can do,
We could never work out
Until you learn to love you

When I first met you
I thought you were cute
But then you started changing,
I guess you thought it was cool

To be Mr. Tough Guy
With a bad attitude
Just arrogant. Cocky.
Reckless and rude.

I actually liked you
But I see you need time
You have too many faces
You need to stop trying

That demon insecurity
How it plays with the mind
If you stayed the same
Everything would be fine

I liked who you were
And what I saw inside
You radiated light
Something in you just shined

I actually liked you
But you don't shine anymore
My vision is much clearer
Then it ever was before

I see that you're a counterfeit
With a big open sore
Still wounded from old trauma
That you try to ignore

I recognize the red flags
And chalk on the floor
I know if there's yellow tape,
Then don't open the door

I actually liked you
But I'm not playing this game
This relationship is toxic
I need to refrain

Once things got official
Nothing was the same
You turned into a monster
What goes on in your brain?

You're possessive and mean
With a temper untamed,
Viscous with a big ego
Sensibility untrained

I actually liked you
But you bring me to tears
All the stress and the struggle
After all these years

Being stuck here with you
Is the worst of my fears 
I should have heeded advice
That I got from my peers

Listening to you
Is pain in my ears
Because verbal abuse
Is all that I hear

I actually liked you
But apologies are due
You wasted my time
I thought you were true

Yeah, that's what I thought 
About the person I thought I knew
But now that I'm close,
Everything I'm seeing is new

A split personality,
Hot and cold. Not cute
A double lifestyle,
All lies, it's no use

I actually liked you
But there's nothing I can do
We could never work out
Until you learn to love you

Recipe For Love

I was going through the motions,
Just doing what I see;
My identity was constructed
From what I saw on TV

I was immature before
You opened me up to see
A life much fuller
Than I ever thought it could be.

You taught me to make love,
And not the birds and the bees..
Love is much greater that sex
And much harder to achieve

What it takes to make it
Is such a simple recipe,
But it just takes a little time
To grow the ingredients you need

First, it takes being kind,
And much patience, indeed,
Next, it takes weeding out
All the selfishness and greed

Then, you must implant the trust,
Which is the most important seed;
It takes so much to develop,
Yet, it dies so easily…

Now, after you’ve grown your harvest,
It’s finally time to reap,
And enjoy what you created -
A fresh, organic masterpiece

Containing nothing bitter,
Always a pleasant thing to eat,
Always easy to digest,
Leading to a peaceful sleep

Love always leads to satisfaction,
Making whole and complete,
Not empty like the hungry soul,
Who thinks sour is sweet...

Free Yourself

I wish we could talk
And have a conversation
A mental exchange,
Intimate relations

Intimate meaning close
Not a sexual situation,
Just a heart felt dialogue
Of personal information

But you don't want to do that
You're not into risk takin'
You don't want to open up
Love is too much for you to take in

We're so used to being fake
Never learned to be real
Never learned to be honest
And just say how we feel

I wish that I could know you
And look you in the eye,
To understand you in your essence
Opposed to your disguise

I'm interested in the truth
You don't have to tell me lies
I'm not trying to judge you
Human error is natural, it's no surprise

Our mistakes make us who we are
By our experiences we become wise
You should own them, not ignore them
Truth leads to freedom, not demise

But we're so used to being fake
Never learned to be real
Never learned to be honest
And just say how we feel

You know I won't betray you
Don't show face in front of me
I'm the one that you can trust
I would never do you dirty

But you feel safer when you're guarded
Only show what you want others to see
You figure if you wear a mask
You retain your dignity

Too much pride to be yourself,
Pride covering insecurities
Hating to be vulnerable
Dodging all inquiries

So used to being fake
Never learned to be real
Never learned to be honest
And just say how you feel

To me, you're like a riddle
I have to read between the lines
Upset when I don't get you
But you know I can't read minds

Communication is the key
Without it, logic is blind.
When deep feelings go unexpressed
Tight relationships unwind

I'm not going to rush you,
This process may take time
But talking is the glue
By which two hearts are able to bind

But we're so used to being fake
Never learned to be real,
If only we could be honest
And just say how we feel.

I'M Not Your Enemy

Bipolar by nature

Sick in the mind

You and your antics

I just don't have time


You as a role model?

Don't make me laugh

You're clueless,

I would be foolish to follow your path


I'm glad God called me out

And made me His own

To learn His ways

And make Heaven my home


If it wasn't for Him

I would be just like you,

Mean. Selfish.

Lost. Confused.


Ice cold,

Completely dark

I guess some people

Just don't have a heart


Only when you can benefit

Do you like me around

But other than that

You don't make a sound


It's quiet. Silent.

No words are exchanged

It's hard to believe

That we share the same name


We share the same traits

Same genes, same blood

You call yourself a parent

But you show no love


I'm glad I'm mature

And God made me wise

He gave me discernment

To see through your disguise


To know how you see others

Is a reflection of how you see yourself

And the pain you cause me

Reflects the pain you were caused by someone else


But I'm not the problem

So don't take it out on me

I am your child

I'm not your enemy
