We Crave It!!!

We dress neat
High heels on our feet
Through the crowd
We walk proud
Skirt above knees
We do as we please
If you're a studying book
Still gotta look
We attract the eyes
Of both girls and guys
Wear diamonds and pearls
We ain't ordinary girls
When you see us coming
You know we look stunning
Lip gloss shining on our lips
Walking sexy,
Rocking dem hips
Foundation matches our complexion
We crave it
Yes we crave the attention.

This Teacher

"What is your name?"
"Oh here's your test"
Said the teacher
I thought it was the best
I skipped though it
Not for long
I saw in bold writing
Cirlce two answers
(Wrong)
I said "Sir may i speak to you?
I had one answer
Not two"
He said,
"I see two here '
Which one is right?
I cannot tell
You put Sunburst
Around a circle
An X would have done well"
He was stern
He put up his guard
and moved away
If I never hated a person
This was the day
He put me on the spot
Infront of everyone in the class
If I had a gun a the time
I would bus a cap in his ass
"I'll know what to do next time
Sir, dont worry"
I am pissed at my grade
Cuz Iactually studied
I cried on my paper
Until it was wet
This damn teacher
That I will never forget!

Cliques!!!

 In the cafeteria........
you are what you eat
whether tacky or neat
you are like the friends you keep
This campus is full of cliques

"I have class at two"
"what about you?"
Ima just  stay here and chill
she got class but she sitting here still
loosing education for a man
I dont understand
but the girl in the red
have only this boy in here head.

 Girls and boys from the basketball team
This boy right here wanna make that his dream
" They look kool"
" I have no friends at school"
" wish i was like them"
"wanna join the team but when"
Poor boy from the outside looking in.

Drums sticks, mini drums and guitar
Lovers of music
that's who they are
Band dudes, Music majors
People who have a passion
And others who are just noise makers

Nice shirt,
Skirt
and stockings too
You are like this style
You are a Christian
Or you are a Jew...
Ok.... your friends dress the same
Adara? sounds like a Jewish name

"Yo son"
"Fall back son"
'let me get that son"
Do you really have to say the word "Son"
Does it tell people something about you
People dont talk like that where i come from
Boy with his tight Jeans but the pants hang low
Pull up your pants
what are you trying to show

Why is this girl here?
What the hell is she doing?
I look up and see people looking
I know they must be thinking
"This girl is mad weird"
Everyone is hanging
I just sit and stare
Finally someone from my class
Thanks for coming
so i dont look like the only ass
then i thought to myself
this might look like this is my clique
I  say all these things about these people
I wonder what they think about me?

Waiting

I don't know how to feel Am I living in a dream?
Or is this real?
The late night cravings
And having to pee so much
The moves you make
I love every touch
Its an exciting experience
And I really do not mind
the smooth sailing of the pregnancy
Never been sick
The doctor's visits all the time
I'm just waiting to hold you in my hand
To hear you coo
Of which I wont understand
Waiting for the day your face I will see
The bond you are going have only with me
I'm waiting to stay up at night
I'm waiting  to breast feed
With Jesus's help
I'm waiting to supply your every need.
I'm waiting
It seems like the wait is not going to be too long
Because I feel the pain
I think you are ready  to come.

Brianna Shanelle

"Jesus love is a bubbling over"
Her favorite song
We sing when we play together
And when anything goes wrong
Brianna Shanelle
Right now she is two
I'll try my best with her
In everything that I do
I love it when she laugh
Hate it when she cries
But sometimes it is stressing
and all Ido is try
To keep each other happy
For her I have to be strong
Sometimes she sees me cry
And ask "Mommy whats wrong?"
It put a smile on my face
She is so smart
she is here because of God's grace
She is the beat of my heart.

I'll Be There

I'll be there when you cry
I'll be there when you smile
I'll try for you when you dont want to try
I'll run for you a mile
I'll scream with yo when you scream
I'll comfort you when you get a bad dream
I'll be mad with you when you get mad
I'll correct you when you do something bad
I'll keep you warm when you get cold
I'll be there with you until I'm old
Ill be there for you
I'll never be alone
I'll be ther no matter what you do
I'll set your dinner for you to come home
I'll be there for your first day of school
I'll be your best friend
I'll be mad Kool
I'll be with you till the end.

My Greatest Gift from God

Thank you God
For my precious gift
I guess she was
My secret wish
The crying
The regrets
My every fear
Brought to me someone
To love and to care
I cherrish the happiness
that you bring to me
The gift that means more to me
than a gift wrapped under a tree
My princess
My love
My little daughter
I pray for guidance
As we grow with each other
Thank you so much
For this i cant repay
The gift of life
 you give to me this day
This wonderful gift
Like nothing I ever had
My daughter
The greatest gift from God

I Wonder

I wonder if I'm going to cry
And scream when I feel the pain
I wonder when you cry a lot
It would drive me insane
I wonder if i will be able to take
the best care of you
To hold you the right way
And just to love you
I wonder what you are going to look like
what kind of person you are going to be
I wonder if you are going to look like yourself
Or you are going to look like me
I wonder if we will bond with each other
I wonder if I can give you the love I got from my mother
I just wonder if I'll be a great mom
And if make sure all is well
I guess I just have to wait until you come
So i can stop wondering
Time will tell :)

Poetry and Music

I believe that poetry is lyrics without and music and a song is a piece of poetry. Especially when  a song rhymes, it reminds me a poetry. . To me poetry is an experience or emotions shared through meaning, and rhythmic language. Music to me has the same definition but with instrumentals behind it and it is actually sung rather than read or spoken. Both music and poetry can also be imaginative, things hope for or things not to come. Song writers are passionate

Thanks to You

After my food was ingested

It passed down through the tracts

Soon it was digested

And soon it would come back

Hey waste product

How do you do?

Funny question isn’t it?

Cuz you’re in fact my doo doo

Sometimes you remind me of chocolate

But you come in many shape

Color

And

Sizes

You might take long

But thanks,

You arrived

Your scent is sometimes mean

But you come out

To keep my body clean

So thanks to you

Mr. Defecation

Thank you for coming

I hope you just glide

Don’t keep me burning

I know you mean my body well

I just hope the next time you come

I just cannot smell

Option 3: Response to Photograph : The life that i live

This is the life that I live
The streets, 
the only place I know
The place where I call home.
Laying here everyday
my once innocent mind is opened
To everything that the street has to offer
gun shots
Raping
fighting
loving
All it has to offer
I see it all
But sometimes it dont see me
I am invisible to those who walk on these street
Racism is still alive
As i lay here in the middle of this side walk
they still walk by me
over me
around me
because i am not one of them
I have been through it all in these street
it gets cold in the winter time
Hot in the summer
But when everyone else turn their backs on me
The street was still my home :)
