All these words about this guy or this girl What about me? In a world filled with so many individuals and life forms, I think I've forgotten myself But how can that be? Don’t you live with thee?   I’m consumed with other people, and their thoughts and beliefs so I started to forget Imani  And it’s not selflessness or nobility, this isn't loving thy neighbor, it’s living for thy neighbor and disregarding thy self I idle by as I let others go before me, their needs and demands, wants and desires But who puts me first? Stanza II I lay myself down by the wayside and let them take When their done I wade into the water and drown my impurities I pause my life for people who are only meant for a season Leaves turn to mulch as the sharp winds become bitter, grass blades turning to freezing ice sickles As hibernation begins, they flee, it was only meant for a season Knowing me I would have force it until flower bloom Because I force things Out of dis...

They say the sky is the limit..but how can that be? Mama never had enough money for me For my shoes..For my clothes..For our house..For our food My sky was always dark and muddy colored The limit is the sky..but I was never smart My brain stopped functioning after multiplication and my teachers well they never really gave a fuck I sit here in my senior year with less information then from my first The sky is not my limit; society knew I would never reach, it was just a sweet mantra; candy for me to eat I’d be the scum of the earth, or the person their taxes go too; not a person to look up too Should I cry?

A dimly lit room, about 18 girls sitting in a circle The unflinching eyes of the doctor; dark, hardened, holding a chart, mindlessly writing gibberish No one was older than 18 Black, white, tan; fat, skinny, chubby; short, tall, in the middle; they all had something missing in their eye, perhaps the theft of their humanity, security.

Arghhhhhhh I'm so overwhelmed with my anger, frustrated by people's ignorance. Annoyed by people's lack of respect. My blog has become my sounding board I shall not want, it lead me to self-peace, it maketh me feel not like killing people, it restoreth my sense of humanity. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear myself more then anyone else; for I am thy worst enemy; for the rod and the staff may not comfort me but rather the enemies who face me.  10/25/13
