Seeing Red
Rage festers in my soul as flames dance in my eyes
My pulse quickens as my heart tries to escape my chest
My skin feels like molten lava and I swear my brain is about to erupt.
Fire and desire change to hate and disdain
I am blinded by the thought of what could have been
I need a bucket of ice to cool my temperament
Unable to function, I hide behind a mirrored reality
Clothed in self-consciousness it is hard for me to breathe
Forgetting the value of what used to be
Now just a hollowed shell
See what you do to me
All the blame on you I cannot place
I allowed myself and my wants to become commonplace
Playing the nurturer was second nature to me
Giving of myself unconditionally
Forgetting the rewards of reciprocity
Thinking that giving to you would somehow compensate me.
Yet I’m left empty, cold and alone.
Yearning for a place to call home.
Snap out of it my momma says, “Never let ‘em have your heart if he has yet to learn how to be a man”

ReplyDeleteSeeing Pink
As I awaken, I am distrought by the hue in my eye
I look right and then left and conclude with the ?uestion, WHY?
As I ponder, Did I dream of Panthers or possibly Flamingos,
Or becuz of the fact I fell asleep on a CamRon video?
This may be Breat Awareness Month but seeing Pink is kinda strange
From my white Polo, to my Air Yeezys and even my black Rover Range.
Something has got to give
Without my 20 20, I might die
As I consulted my beautiful optomitrist
She said, "Baby, You got da Pink Eye."
D@mn, time to call the Boss. No work for me 2day.
