The One
Craving
Her smile,
Her laugh,
The way she looks
Into my eyes
Seeking my hidden truths,
Her hands holding mine,
The way she feels
Free with me,
Her spirit,
Her passion,
Her thirst for life,
Her never quit attitude,
Her loyalty,
Her sense of humor,
The hold she has on my
Soul, heart, and mind...
She is the one that
Never gives up on me,
Even when I deserve
Nothing from her.
The one who holds me
Through my struggles
And fights for me
When she sees I have broken down.
She is my shield
When everything has become too much,
My smile when
I feel the world is against me.
She is the one
Who has my back
When I have nothing else to lose...
Sirens Song
It's the way she says my name,
The way it whispers off her lips
Symphonic to my ear
Quietly enchanting me...
She doesn't even know
The power she wields over me,
Her voice is like a song
Slowly luring me into her grasp
Words like poison
Gripping my heart and tearing it to shreds...
She says she loves me and hates me
In the same breath
But she needs me...
That's why her song speaks to me,
Assaulting my senses
Until all I see is her,
Her kiss lingers on my lips,
Her scent invades my nostrils
And like a heavy fog, she covers me,
She becomes everything.
My world falls apart when she's not around
But she is my siren,
Calling me ba
Forward
The same system that is supposed to protect us,
Rejects us.
Systematically, society neglects us,
It's just us...
How can we have peace when there is no justice?
Look at me...
With my dark brown skin, brown eyes, and my kinky black hair
Does this alone make my life any less significant than that of a dog?
We are taught to believe that our skin tone is only one part of a whole
But in the eyes of the system, why are we nothing but statistics?
Fragmented individuals whose voices and actions are deemed worthless
Out of 14% of the nation's population, how do we make up half of all prison inmates?
Cultural fear and insensitivity are all t
