Someone Called Me Strong Today...

I've been going through a lot this year, 2014 hasn't been the easiest ride for me academically and even socially and I say this, yet I wouldn't trade this year for the world. I have grown this year spiritually, mentally and philosophically; my trials and tribulations have made me stronger. In an ocean full of problems my great friend Savannah Harriot, had the audacity to call me strong... and here was my response.
 
 I wouldn't say I'm being strong.
It's more like a concoction of helpless
optimism and higher knowledge 
that believes nothing happens by
accident. Nothing is an accident,
everything has a reason. I am so
over joyed when I have absolutely
no reason to be. It is just in my
 nature to laugh at my pain until it
doesn't hurt anymore. This had to
happen, this is apart of my success
story. It's my journey, not
everybody gets the fairy tale
ending, but everybody gets a role
in this live play called Life.

Resentment

I felt like I had recited
Shakespeare to a deaf man.

Or


Showed a classic painting
to a blind man.


So maybe that's why you
couldn't appreciate it.


Human's are always quick
to set the blame but this
time I'm to blame.


I should have never said
"I love you"

The Prodigal Queen

Why would want to be called                                                                                        
the "baddest bitch"? 
                                                            
Does that make sense to you?


So your mother laboured and gave

You can't be "a good thing" if                                           .
you're busy being a bad bitch!               But no! Excuse me, you are the

Loud and boastful at this foreign                                     
mythology known as a bad bitch.         To denounce your status from

It's a shame! You've let society tag       badly beaten with a log!                 
you with a false identity and you

                                                                         Don't let any human strip you of

Illegal Immigrant

It hurts to love someone that doesn't love you back; it feels like salt being poured on an open wound... it burns! But when you pluck up the courage to move on, that's when the object of your desire starts to show love. UGH!!!
                                         
Illegal Immigrant
 
Did you know if heaven
was a country your laugh
would be it's national anthem?


Your laughter opens heaven's gate.


If my days on this Earth's crust were over and
 yes I'm purely sober. I would
Skype you from outside
heavens gate and ask you
to laugh if God threatens
me to hell.


Heaven's gate would open
and I would run inside and hide.


My crime?
I had spent all my time procrastinating
and thinking about you.


I worshipped the ground
you stepped on with those red and white Jordans. I
should have read the red as danger
 because I'm an illegal immigrant in heaven.


The ray of light that radiates
from your smile punches
my ribcage.


I find myself in a theatre
with no stage with
convincing actors dressed
 in white coats like doctors.


Loving you hurts because it's unrequited.

I'm doing all that is required, to
make this love work. I'm
loving enough for two. I'm
loving you and for you to
love me back. It's a lot
to hack.


Did you know I'm not going
to stick around forever?
Oh so all of a sudden you
care and show it by giving
me a cold stare.


I'm in HELL because of you!
I'm being torn, ripped and
shredded which is no
different to how I feel in
this relationship.


I need to get off this ship!
Hop on a Speed boat
and drive away from you
never to look back in case
I turn into a pillar of salt.

To the Guy at the Bus Stop

Do you believe in love at first sight or do you think it's actually LUST at first sight? Either way being attracted to someone that you have never encountered before in your whole life is something I'm sure every human being has experienced at least once. Well the following poem you are about to read takes that idea a step further.

  To the Guy at the Bus stop        

                           I don't want us to break before we have even started dating.

                    I don't want us to hate each other before we have even liked each other.

           I don't want us to become enemies before we have even become acquaintances.

                    I don't want us to get tired of each other before our first conversation.

       I don't want us to shout at each other before we have even said our first hello to one another.

           I don't want us to separate from each other before we have gotten close to each other.

                 I don't want us to see other people when we haven't even seen each other yet.

                                                                   written
                                                           
                                                                     by

I'm just Miss Understood

Have you ever felt like the odd one out. You were not an odd person per se but in terms of those circumnavigating around you, you just didn't quite fit in. There was nothing wrong with you in fact it could be argued the ones around YOU were the ones who were odd. I have always been aware of the fact that I wasn't quite the same as peers in school or just anywhere in general! I always stood out like a sore thumb even though I look no different to those in my midst, I guess it is my strong vibe or aura that exudes independence amongst such dependant people. We are all you unique and special- the same way you don't find two snowflakes the same or two diamonds the same is how you never find two people the same. If you know you're a diamond or snowflake this poem is for you
enjoy.



I'm the classic melody by
Pachelbel in a heavy metal
concert.

I'm an ocean planted in a
desert.


I'm the talker in the library.
I'm the rejoice in a funeral.
I'm the eerie quiet in a storm.
I'm the thinker in a spoon
 fed classroom.


I'm the peace in war.
I'm the truth in politics.
I'm the numbers in a poem.

I'm the virgin in a brothel.
I'm standing up in a room
 full of chairs...

I just don't make any
sense!


I contradict society, betray
the media
deceive the devil
I'm in the world but not of the world.

Never a follower but one to be followed
.
Only one to sing along to a rap song,

Only one to read the directions of use on the
back of toothpaste. In this world... I just don't make
any sense.
