More Poetry by Me

Here's three more poems for my lovely readers. Enjoy!

The Beginning
Can I get to know you?

I said if you show me respect
You have to treat me good
I won’t settle for less
And no you can’t be average
Man you have to be the best
Have a personality
That separates you from the rest
I’ve experienced the lames
And I’m done playin’ their games
I used to be a damn pimp
Wastin’ time on these wimps
Now I’m ready to settle down
When I finally find my king
He’ll be sure to get his crown

Ambition
Sometimes when I don’t have anything to write about

I grab my pen and paper and I just let my frustrations out
I have so much animosity you couldn’t even grasp it
The Bible’s one of the only things that’s been able to get me past it
The people surrounding me are so full of bullshit
They live ass backwards and I don’t know what to make of it
I try to give them advice but all they do is belittle me
They say they wanna see me shine
But secretly wish to get rid of me
So I stay on my grind regardless of if they feelin’ me
I bear the mindset of a hustler
While they have mentality of busters
They’re like crabs in a fuckin’ bucket
And they’re content with how they're livin’
Me, I can’t stay in the same state
It’s something called ambition
You should try it.

Naivete'
Don’t say “aww” when you read this

I’m not your charity case
Please try not to piss me off
Just for humanity’s sake
I’ve written two suicide letters
Both dedicated to a special person
I had to let it go
I realized he wasn’t worth it
I try not to let it run me into the ground
I used to be timid and depressed
Sit back and take a look at me now
I don’t know how you feel
But you should be very proud
I haven’t brought you too many problems
I just backed out and shut down
And when I say shut down
I mean shut EVERYBODY out
And people suggested that I let you go
Whenever I heard your alias I got a lump in my throat
But what do they know?
They just want me to be unhappy
When all along it was you draining the joy from me daddy
What can I say? I was naïve
I don’t waste too many tears on it now
I don’t feel it’s worth it anymore
I don’t wanna end my life.
There’s too much left to explore
I love you dearly and
I really wish you the best
So let's cherish the good times
And forget aout the rest.

I hope at least one of them whispered to each of your hearts. ♥

Love

I don’t know too much about love

Never been in a real relationship
When it’s real, it fits like a glove
That’s what the old folks usually tell me
I’ve never shaken hands with love
It’s natural that they know more than me
Will a first date give me a violent shove
Into this word we use so carelessly?
I convince myself I’m better off without it
When I look at the drama by which I’m surrounded
But that’s not true love
That’s just shallow lust
Which one is better?
Which one is more convenient?
Which one is wetter?
Either one you decide
From my life it’s absent
Pay no attention to me y’all
I’m just thinkin’ out loud
I think of million dollar business deals
And no my head’s not in the clouds
I worry about myself still
When will I ever make love to love?
And how will I know if it’s real?

Expressing Myself

I've written some poetry. I'm semi-confident about it, so I'm strongly considering publishing it. Well, I thought I'd share it with you all, so here you go!

asIam

I may not be the prettiest woman or have the body of a supermodel.

I may not be a first choice, but I’m an excellent choice.
I have some important things to say, so listen to my voice.
I don’t attempt to walk around in someone else’s skin, because my own fits me just fine.
My life may not be perfect, but I claim it as mine.
From the right ways I have strayed away,
but just look at the beautiful woman I have grown into today.
Take me as I am...
...or watch me as I walk away
