Need, 2017

I was always taught to never make one feel like you needed them, to always remind myself that they could get up one day and walk away for good, my homey's always said no matter how amazing she was, never make her feel like my world would crash without her, cause the reality is that I'd be fine, maybe a few days of sorrow or tears, but eventually I'd be just fine, life continues on and on, but see I managed to have that mindset for a long time, until I met her, it wasn't like I couldn't be without her, but I'd rather that not experience life without her, she just added to me, it wasn't just her presence, but her ideas, and her effort to implant new project ideas in my head, maybe I was tweaking, but I for once felt like I needed someone, and it was that I needed her

Untitled, 2017

I can't sense the bad days, but then again you probably hide them very well, behind the smiles and laughs, could be pain and frustration, but see, I want you to become transparent, if you need to scream, do so, if you would like to cry, do so, and if you would like to just sit in silence, we can do that, but I just don't want you to continue to hold in the things that have hurt or damaged you, grow from it, learn from it, and leave it behind, let the days ahead be nothing but new beginnings, making everyday the first day of summer, no matter the actual season, you got this, I believe in you

She was always Searching, 2017

She was never really unhappy, but her attention continuously shifted, in every pile of her life, she was searching, and most of the time she wasn't even aware of what exactly, but a part of her mind kept telling her she was not satisfied, this caused her to change occupations frequently, become indecisive of her vehicle decisions, and worse of all, misunderstood when it came to dating, even if nothing was ever wrong, in her mind everything was wrong, though she met some goofs that deserved the boot, there were a few good ones in the bunch, but she didn't see it, and even with time she stood by the decision, until one man came along, he had no agenda, he placed no bets on her head, and he listened to her explain her worries, making her realize that for the first time ever, she wasn't complaining, she didn't find any faults, and had no intention of giving him the boot, maybe it was luck, or maybe whatever trick her mind used to play on her finally quit, but in her own words, it was God... God blessed her with an individual that was willing to learn her, but also teach her, not faulting her but appreciating her... It was definitely God

Black Joy, 2017

See I got this joy, yeah it's cause life's beautiful at times, and I enjoy the long drives alone blasting music, but this black joy is something speechless, to live as a testimony of what Martin and Malcolm fought for, the appreciation of not only our color, but our worth, mind of Kings and Queens, elegance of style, ain't nothing greater than this joy, so if you sleep, Waaaaaakkeeee uuuupppppp

Friends to Lovers, 2017

See, I'm not mad that you would rather be friends, that you'd rather not take that leap of faith and possibly mess up our friendship, but see I have a different view, cause babe when I look at you, and no not your eyes but when I'm looking into your soul, I can sense your heart beating, but beating alone, no one to give it addlibs, adding a little spice to your already elegant ways, but that's not why I want more, it's cause I know in my heart that I can treat you like a Queen, not making you my world but apart of it, teaching and learning from one another, yes our friendship is Lit, but imagine it times a million, we'd only make people envious, spectators would take notes, and maybe one day we could grow old together

Creativity, 2017

The key to creativity is to never give up, no matter how hard it becomes to create, find that inspiration that helped you create your first masterpiece, go back to the olden days when every little thing sparked an idea in your head, and just remember you're only as GREAT as you allow yourself to be, we creatives bring color to the lives of people who only see black and white, they rely on us to bring a little joy to their semi boring lives, from graphic designs to creating endless fashion pieces to poetry to speechless paintings, keep creating, keep delivering, creating timeless arts, something appreciated in 1800 B.C & 7016 yet to come. 

Letter to Love, 2017

I could've sworn I met you, twice actually, I remember back in 2013, that experience was one of kind, but then when you came into my life in 2015, it was different, but in a good way, and now, well now I don't really understand what you are, or who will deliver you in a permanent visa status, but I'm not worried, I know God will reveal you at the right time, in the right moment, and with the right person, so my letter to love is simply this, even though I've kind of met you twice already, I'm still ecstatic to meet you again, and maybe again after that, until you're here to stay, a permanent visa as some would say, so love, if you're reading this, see you soon, and don't worry, I'll welcome you with open arms, and enjoy you all over again, cause it'll be for the first time, my letter to love

Hopeless Romantic, 2017

She was something, like no really something, oops I forgot... She was SOMETHING SPECIAL, but see these dudes couldn't peep that, they were asleep to her qualities, and didn't even care about her flaws, she was a hopeless romantic, unable to get a grip of the romantic aspect of life, she went on a million dates, and came out with a trillion moments of wasted time, either they were boring or their motives didn't match what she was comfortable with, so she took a second, well maybe a few months to a year, to just find herself, have constant moments of the game Q&A, sadly not always did she come up with answers, but see, she was trying and that's what mattered most, that she decided to not continue the repetitive experience of dating guys with no true chance, she needed to figure out what worked for her, what type of guy could make her smile break windows, and hold her just the right way during those nasty storms, she just needed to find herself, and stop looking for herself in these dudes, she was a hopeless romantic, but not for long

The Sauce, 2017

Ever searched for something long and hard?, but realized you already had it, like looking for sugar for your koolaid in the wrong pantry closet, or BBQ sauce for your turkey burger but it ain't where you left it, you got the sauce big fella, high and lows ain't take it away, probably covered it up a little, but dust off that stress and worry, kill that doubt, and replace them sad thoughts with happy ones, don't worry, you got the sauce, high and low, in and out, good and bad, they can't ever take your sauce

My Brothers, 2017

And we've buried too many bodies, we've mourn too many deaths, the memories is all we have to keep going, our tears have not stopped, deep down the pain is overtaking our bodies, the depression is destroying our minds, and our hearts are becoming cold and numb, too many bullets, too many loses, too many beautiful souls taken, so I not only mourn for my people, but for their families, for those that loved them beyond words, their children, and their legacy, my brothers oh my brothers, I will now and forever miss and love them, RIP to them all.

Thankful, 2017

Remember the days when things just weren't going your way?, when life just seemed like it had nothing good coming around the corner?, when you experienced 3 downfalls in a week?, now see how life changed, your frown became many smiles, your tears replaced with laughter tears, and your pain became an abundance of strength, no one ever said life would be easy, nor did they say the bad would defeat you, so that little sense of hope you've always had, those late night prayers and conversations with God, don't let them go, make them your everlasting weapon of all moments, good or bad, just be thankful, not for just today, but yesterday and tomorrow alike, I send you peace, love and light
