Breakin Harts (The Raconteur)

Tell me this,

How can I sum me up when you bring negativity in?

How can I be the man when you seem to break the qualities that make me one?

Guess you got your reasons for being attached.

When self becomes the goal,

It's enough evidence to be blinded by your own selfish thoughts.

You'd rather have people around build you up and not do shit for yourself,

You'd rather use people for the betterment of your self-esteem and love things.

Hate is a circumference of love.

Baby, life don't workout that way,

It's a vicious circle in its gym;

And you sure do know God don't like ugly.

I've heard karma is a female dog that catches up with everyone,

But I'll not be seconded to play the fool for the first time in this movie,

I've seen too much to know how this would end.

Over time I've learnt not to trust people like you,

I let my potnas repeatedly lecture me on my mistakes,

At some point, every child grows,

I guess I'm not so different after all.

It's 2017, 24 years writing this at this time,

I've stuck to writing longer than my past relationships,

It's embarrassing but whatever!

And I'm trying to commit to one that's got my interest,

Hoping she doesn't end up to be a waste of energy and time like you.

Even if she happens to end like you,

I'll prolly liken her to a mustard seed because that's what she goes around selling to the mind.

As long as she sings long live the angels,

She is heaven.

Happy Birthday To Me.

Seeing how far I've come, I've got to say thank you Mom. From being the thing you hoped for, Now being the thing I hope for. This is me saying a happy birthday to me, And a multitude Thanks, to you mom. You are my saving grace, You both, I can't imagine where I'd be without you both. At age 22 I still cry to you, Well I did the other day on the phone, How I called you randomly and told you about how much I've missed and still miss Grandma, And you understood each tear. It's my birthday today, As I transit into that Jordan age. And even though the spot light shines on me today, I also take this time to appreciate you, Make my spot light yours. And even if there's no one there to glamour at your spot light, I'd be your exceeding crowd to wonder on your wonders. As a gentleman you've raised, You've always told me how a king should let his queen have the spot light. Your number one button I push...

Heaven's Angel

Countless dreams of heaven, I’ve had but never get to see the big picture in motion. She oozes of heritage that gives life, One that gives life to the dying and eternity to the living. She is of Selah, worthy to behold, You’re not of human that crown queen, But, Of goddess that make gods. I wonder what she thinks of me? I’m having not to jump the gun and move faster than my shadow. I doubt she even knows this? I doubt she even knows what she’s worth? Does she have the problem of the coloured girl? How do you define a black woman’s worthiness to herself? Perhaps I’m the missing piece for her realisation. I often say this but this time I feel it different. I hope she knows I want someone to talk to and listens, As it goes vice-versa, making for deep-level interactions. What is biology without chemistry? I crave telepathy interactions, I’m ready to risk it all again to have this. What is a bond without elasticity? And if I yet again l...

See every time we went out, Everyone noticed you and kept me at bay, Like I wasn't there. I hate when it happens. I know you're well known across these lands And I'm just a foreigner, On Strangers tide. Often time, I'll play the buster girl, Doing the who is? Call me crazy, Call me jealous, I call me greedy, But all I wanted was, The strings of our heartbeat in perfect accordance, To an unheard melody. All of you, And all that was in your heart was my desire, Felt like it was too much to ask. I know I had gone astray, And I needed a second chance. Who doesn’t? It looked hard, everything was against me, Even my own shadow was. The face I thought that shinned brightest, Couldn't create a spark during my dark times. Guess I figured why I was mostly kept at bay, Just a little too late. We were untitled.
