Longing.....

Do the work

first night
So I was prepared for nothing
Not for a second did I regret
My choice at loving
I could barely open my eyes and within that second I realized
forever and ever your mom I would be
cry out
a reason to be calm after life's storms
A reason for me to continue to be the best I can be
A reason to reevaluate everything I've known
That though I have goals of success the best things in life are free
A reason to embody all I can be.
My heart, my Riley
stumble upon
Screaming but no one can hear me out
The abundance of my feelings
Stuck as I hit the glass ceiling
Power to divide
From the endless, restlessness of my soul
Beginning to end and ending to start
spills out in wisp of a foreign content
Leading me to responses
I never wanted to hear
My body, now i fear it
Too close but so far that no one can hear it
because even in my dreams it is present
Signs of a peasant because my value has been weakened
I no longer know what im seeking
just that i have not found it yet
How I long for
Someone to keep my head above water
I can't do it alone
My heart beats on its own
Like the partner I cant find to sooth me
I continue on alone..........
The cycle
A
Afro-American pardon me
a
African-American pardon me
a
Negro pardon me
a
colored pardon me
a
house nigger pardon me
a
field nigger pardon me
a
slave pardon me
a
Inanimate object for recreational and systematic injustice pardon me
a
part of a tribe that will never be discovered
a
I was 5. I was taught that I needed to understand I already had 2 strikes against me:
2. I was female
and the reason we the most educated persons in this land as they see.....racism wasnt the only thing systematic
have that free world create systems
so in that free world they could struggle and never be free
only to be remade to kill their own systems only to be raised to "kill each system, we need praise..
honor and ego is all we have in this game" cycling the violence in systems
Society deepen to change
Societal measures that have created this game
on play and repeat
the looks and stares when i accompany a white family or friends
or feel so sad
Just a smirk and a relief of glad....
THESE TIMES ARE ABOMINATIONS
But you still can't what see what im witnessing man...
what i see in front of me witnessing
you think you know but have no idea

Falling beneath the stars
We always dream of a better life, those accustomed to nothing. Hoping that for once a light is bestowed on to us that could weather through the darkness already foretold to us. A life of less pain, more pleasure, less hurt and more forgiveness....for we still live in the shadow of a master we cannot see.
Laying in a line of fire, doused with uncertainties, conditioned in failure to the lost of hope.
Bonded by the hurt of lost.
A cycle emerges and continues shining in all crevices but still pointing out our shadows in darkness...a darkness that can never leave, a darkness that is always there, a darkness that becomes both friend and foe telling us we can never be whom we think we are just who we are told to be...
So i sit in the darkness beneath the stars because they say shoot for the moon even if you miss you will land among the stars but with no one to catch them.....many exist beneath them with no one to acknowledge their existence

Our world
Another day another death
The speculating spectrum
leading to regression
wanting to wallow in continuous overt racial oppression
But my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
The truths of this country marching on while
black man are shot down, character annihilated, trampled over
JUST STAY DOWN
before they make more excuses cuz we just dogs and they need to
PUT US DOWN
That crack sound, revisiting the demons within those crack vials
Revisiting the drug laws of this government "crackdown"
Pushing our heads under water not wanting us to surface
giving us no chance to
BREATHE NOW (wheeze sounds)
Tis country tis a thy bears no inklings of liberty
elluding it's said sympathy
so many inconsistencies
leading to regime's of anger
by the white supremacy
BUT OUR TRUTHS KEEP MARCHING ON, RIGHT???

Standing on my own 2 feet. How can you walk a mile in someelses shoes when we need to be barefoot
Im often standoffish
Came from the bottom to create my portion
Struggle in my own until i was woken
knowing that people depend on me almost every...day....often
Been there and swam back
Pain is what ive always engulfed in
My endorphines
Make me break in caution
Life struggles created a warrior who will stand on the top of this barrier
I been here before
Often....
Take the angst of your life into me because i already do it so often
The rapture is upon us but you still feeling good because i embodief your abhorrent
See no evil because i already faced the clouded black eyes and fear of his offering
Choose good or evil is the fight that appears often....paralyzing feel because i need to be powerless to his offering
I used to kill with non conformance and be steeled
To survive this life often
Reinvest in a life who's dividends have not got you there often
Worked so hard to survive
And now im questioning all it
I do the devils work
Im gods child and i spoil it
I am powerful beyond words and so scared i ignore it
The valley allowed me to lay around and be in the darkness
Because his light has always supported
Even when i felt u supported
When i recked myself and put my self in a bubble of no supportives
My levees of life have broken down
But im holding up for it
Life has smacked me down but i have never ignored it
Satiated the causes
Slamming all the doors you opened up for it
I cant see around or move my mouth to think peace will award it
The rapture is beginning
Are you ready to choose a side for it or ignore it?
Abba is my truth and he makes it rewarding
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Because i am the one who could"
Bet on this knowledge i need you to get often
I am a powerful enigma so satan will lean on me often
He will try to disrupt me often
He will try to destroy my strength often
He will try to turn me around from the road i have beating here and walked barefoot with bo shoes by making me embody
Constant
Detouring
My life is open to let you understand where this is going
Tend to the sheep and build so that our shepards ways are open
I constantly feel the choking
From not being open or
knowing where i am going or
how quick i will be going or
how disappointed i can be in slowing
relapsing the growing
only to reflect and be knowing
Only to except
Discombobulated flowing
My perception of things are not knowing...
There all knowing
My rights and dreams have been flowing
My light it seems is still growing
We can go back in things but the realization and eveidemce
makes alive and still growing
I will leave my heart open because the dark that thinks it can win will be surprised at the weight of the light it fights and tells to cease growing

It appears in the end
Living in honor and finding honor are 2 different things.
I was lost and crushed and he changed my life
Perception is everything
He changed my life
Couldnt discover how much it hurt to live my life...drilled through the hard shell of me cutting off people in this life
Wanted all his knowledge because it raised my life
Pay attention to details because he taught me right
Ability to be in a free world and do whats right
All hope was given
By you in my life.
I made a decision to change hearts
like you did for my life
It was an end but the beginning of the road within my life
I have risen because the strength you gave me for my life
A student but a client
You helped me survive my life
I want to give thanks for you having helped develop my life
Whether you ever know it or not i need you to understand your hand was prevelant within this life
Im a better person because of you in my life
I love you dearly
You will be here forever through writing and having touched this life
I will never forget.....
How you changed my life
I love you Dr. T

Taxedermy
Life ripping out my internal organs
Propping me up so i adhere to its demands
Going through the motions of playing dead The mask in place
With all the fads we chase
The choices we make
The promises we break
The continuity we can lose in a second never to replace
The forgotton tools of reforming it all within a better space
Mind was in a better place
My mind used to be in a better place
No paparazzi Anonymy is what makes you never see this face
Monogomy in a facetious way
Can't let the media and normalizing of violence lead the way
We need to pray
Never let the ends justify the means by this way
Never go back to the days of lethal way
Our children are dying
Yet yall motherfuckers still won't lead the way
Yall the reason why our kids are struggling and live to be this way
Grow up to be this way
Don't get mad at me I just say what we all want and need to say
Let him lead the way
You never can see this way
Unless you are smart and woke enough to see this wayl

Soul shaker
The lives we lead are challenged by the lives we led
No hope or judgement just what was the best for in our heads at that time and place
Memories pulled from the mind
That seemed forgotten over time
Held less semblance over time
Led less strenuous in my mind
The world is turning so jump on the amnemities
Of socrates
The embodiment of philosophies
That changes philosophical travesties
Create astronomical catastrophies
But still predict and hold the balance in
The balance within
Me
Not sure of what it held previously
But this continuously
Religiously
Building in me
Will never conform
Or be....

Witness
Its so funny
I take umbrage as a offended black
Afro-American pardon me
a
African-American pardon me
a
Negro pardon me
a
colored pardon me
a
house nigger pardon me
a
field nigger pardon me
a
slave pardon me
a
Inanimate object for recreational and injustice pardon me
a
part of a tribe that will never be discovered
a
Fuck this no pardon me
"Stick and move, stick and move..." (Notorious BIG)
I remember the first thought that stuck to my brain...
I was 5. I was taught that I needed to understand I already had 2 strikes against me:
1. I was African-American
2. I was female
The other strike that should of placed me out was sickle cell anemia but we have more important things to discuss right now
I grew up in Bed-Stuy during the "War on drugs" era better known as the 80's crack epidemic. I used to think those vials that visually captured my mind with those tops in rainbow colors were things left by others for me to play with.
I witnessed the drug and alcohol abuse that went rampant amongst citizens behind closed doors. Not knowing or understanding til later(when I became a criminologist/social worker) it was another form of self medicating to not live life.
I witnessed the war on poverty dismantling neighborhoods, not caring about certain neighborhoods, the beginnings of explointing neighborhoods
I witnessed the struggles of the project life, food stamps and food pantries with that rock solid ass cheese, and white labeled cans.
I witnessed when violence became death, drugs becmae territorial war, color war, pit us against WAR.....
I witnessed the deprecation of the African-American woman, the demeaning and cruel aspects of being free but being a slave to man so not being free....but being free but having to give up my thought process to sooth your thoughts and make you my world
now you wonder why all women want to be independent and non dependent, non-conforming and lead their dreams onward...it's okay you can keep assautling our hopes and dreams and the barriers we took to
and the reason we the most educated persons in this land as they see.....racism wasnt the only thing systematic
( http://iusedtohavetheblues.blogspot.com/2015/10/women-you-are-beautiful.html?m=1)
I witness the breakdown of the nuclear family
I witnessed the role of Rockefeller continuing to breakdown the nuclear family
I witnessed the take down of all the proud negros who had struggle to succeed in a free world
have that free world create systems
so in that free world they could struggle and never be free
I witness currently the repurcussions of leaving rehabilitation for incapacitation (I studied criminology for a reason)
I witness the lost of rights guarenteed as a USA citizen being stipped for mistakes made so the people most angry can't vote, cant live in public housing you take my money for, cant get a job, cant get a life....go back to what got me locked up in the 1st place...
A whole new class of degenerates right...
Whoa....
SYTEMS OVERLOAD MUST REBOOT
I witnessed incarcerated individuals having the ability to learn and better themselves stripped away because violence needs to be in cycles or the prison business will be in peril
I witness families destroyed by housing 85%of NYC residents in upstate counties so they can garner more money on their census while we get programs cut and taken away...ahh that cycle again
I witness the hurt and loss and pain when you cant afford or have the means to travel 8hrs for a visit
I witnessed the creation of gangs to combat systems
only to be remade to kill their own systems only to be raised to "kill each system, we need praise..
honor and ego is all we have in this game" cycling the violence in systems
These waters run deep and if we can't open our eyes to see what has led us here and what has got us here...we still that african leading others to our villiage cuz we want to show them love. ..
society makes us trust no one
Now we trust no one
I know what prison looks like...it's a shame almost every other black kid lives this life
I witnessed the policies deepen to hurt
Society deepen to change
Societal measures that have created this game
Let the niggers kill each other
on play and repeat
I witness rascism...the snide comments,
the looks and stares when i accompany a white family
I witnessed that shotgun barrel on my head saying niggas aint welcome
I witnessed being chased off of blocks that said there is no room for niggers here
I remember being indentured servants and i get angry and mad
Because you rather question me on what is bad and what we have and not wanting to take a look back because your bubble allows you to not really feel so bad or feel so sad or real a relief of glad....
(we cant be trusted still..right)
And when they can ...I got a resolution
I witnessed man...these times are abominatims of what im witnessing man...
what i will see in front of me witnessing
Damn
I can't..can you?
When does it stop
Learn the appropriation and desecration of a culture locked up in systematic and institutionalized rascism before you try to take cover
I grew up here...
you think you know but have no idea
Dont ask why im angry
ASK WHY IM ANGRY
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY IM ANGRY
If you say nothing your just as guilty
This world for you may have have been rainbows and unicorns but for me
Its always been crazy....

King me
Inadvertantly i fell for it
Felt it exist

Disappointed

Tragic
Life snuffed
But im born to corrupt
This story of a life gone is more than enough
Violence and non empathy has been more than enough
I light the candle but the darkness seems to be brighter than enough
Im a change of life founder
How can i get my message higher
Death and death and forgottiness
This is our trancedance
Why cant we come together to end this
As far as it can go
The world is hiding in the shadows i cant let this shit go
I wont let this shit go..
I fall to my knees praying that god can bring me to the know
I cry inside because outside i need to be stronger than you can know

Life
Simplistic trash
Perpendicular of my rag
This death swag
has my health bad
We dying in this desert
But that water on the horizon is not a quick fix
It's just a mirage it seems
We all are worthy to conquer more things
Create more dreams
Relate to ALL BEINGS
This world needs to recoup
We need to recognize truths and pop those bubbles around you
We different on the outer but we all look the same in the inner
Just my own
juxtaposition
Why can't yall listen
What will it take for us to listen?
Cry for our brothers
Hold faith for our mothers
How better now we have to suffer
Lost and found in zion
The beat of my heart
Encapsulates my mind
I want to embark on this journey
But am left unsure by your responses
My conscious becomes bitter nonsense
Trying to rationalize your incontinence
Wanting to indulge in your horizen
Wanting to grow within us to build these mountains
Breaking of barriers or walls
I fall forward thinking about the past leaves me stricken with fear and not knowing how to move forward
Im a horder of my own dreams
Scared to pull the trigger
So i grieve in what is not
Make plans to be forgot
Push myself further in isolation
Because my defense of self is all thats left that i got
I should of told you sooner
I wanted it too.....
