The rush

From the blood.

The crimson rose

Against my pale white skin.

The Taste of evil and heaven I swear

it’s what feeds my darkest sins.

The pain I don’t feel

When the blade runs bare across my soul.

It’s not for me , I promise you that,

It’s for them who keep turning their back.

I love the way the blood trickles

Makes me realise , I’m here alive,

To breathe another day

Even if hell is on my side.

It’s twisted I know

To crave the rush.

They don’t care

As there push the demon

To the core

To blind to see the damage they truly cause.

Mine is temporary

A release from the demon

Within me .

Please don’t judge

When you see my scars

It’s proof to me I’ve lived

Through the pain

But I’m still here on the other side,

With nothing but love to give

To those who caused, the blade to sink in.

@trueemotions91

As gentle as a butterfly

But yet it lies

Like a spy

With a fly

Upon my wall ,

Glorious colours to distract the eye,

From what is hidden beneath its wall ,

I dare knock as I’m scared I will fall,

As something as pretty as that,

Will clearly make me a fool,

I don’t hold the jewels ,

To unleash her soul

I would make her into a grizzly ghoul

She touches upon my senses

Makes my insides, go dense

But god forgive me

She is to damn cold

When I try to keep a hold

Of her love.

@trueemotions91

A man I hear them call

Is a danger to all?

Do you honestly believe that story

If I repeat them words quietly ,

If your going paint a ugly picture

Of my son, brother , father

Before there even have a chance to alter

Your perspective of all men

Then I would not bother ,

To waste your air on this planet earth

That’s ludicrous , to human nature

Can you really hear yourself loud and clear?

So your afraid of your father ?

Please tell me so,

How on earth can we scoop so low,

Men are humans , I swear to your

Have two eyes and usually bigger shoes ,

But all ain’t to fear,

I know the hands that raised me were full of care & order

Showed me love & courage ,

But to fear my son , is to loud and clear

When you all cheer , the words I hear ,

A woman I know who abused her own

but yet I don’t hear you call her mistakes

To the moon,

Would you to brush me with the same words ,

Because another mother put upon this earth,

It makes no sense , it’s all a laugh,

I stand with a woman , power and all,

But to call every man a danger is a different law,

Just think of the words before you make your own

father sore ,

Imagine his face when he sees you chore the words

That - all men must fall .

@trueemotions91

Why is this world so cold

I was always told,

The world is what you perceive through

Your own living eyes ,

Am I to blind, to see

The love that’s surrounded, around me ,

Is it me who spits the hatred out they mouth?

I question this daily .

I see the beautys of earth

They don’t hide ,

The colours of the rainbow are

Painted all over this earth,

The birds sing me a lullaby

Every morning ,

I open my eyes

To the most beautiful sunrise ,

I watch the moon ,

Dance with the stars ,

But when I enter reality ,

Why do I see , beings

With scrawn up faces ,

Blood on the hands of another man ,

Children being abused by the one who

Brought them to this earth,

Youngsters with no morals,

Graffiti scribbled all over the walls,

Ruining nature for everyone’s eyeballs,

Is that really just perceieved through my own eyes?

Is the government, just blind

To the reality of life,

Hidden behide a obscene ,Law and order,

Where half of them are the cause

Of disorder ,

Freedom of speach

But only counts for the rich ,

I see another begging on the floor

While another swipes his foot across

The same path,

Caught up in his own twisted world

Not a care for the poor,

I didn’t see that this morning ,

When the flowers were dancing along

To the pretty’s bird song,

I saw happiness in the sky,

Pictures Scribbled in the clouds

To make me realise ,

I can be at ease ,

But when I enter the street,

Everyone seems to be staring down at they feet

A pawn in a game of cheat.

@trueemotions91

Always told

I won’t make any gold

With my long life goals,

But they underestimated me

As my goals only consist

Of happy and health,

Not having my pockets lined of coins

I’d rather have a heart of joy,

A pocket full of sweet memories

For the world to see, Is enough for me ,

Riches are nothing

If my eyes are cold

Blinded by the pound sign

can’t see my path is clearly written for me ,

I don’t need brands attached to me

I’m a brand of my own

no one can copy track me

Even when I’m buried in the ground

You still couldn’t even come close

To the place I call home

My memories would make you realise

What a lie yours is.

@trueemotions91

Scared

To grow old,

Petrified of getting lines,

Creases from frowning

Always clowning around,

With grey painted lipstick,

Creased upon his cheek

Over the wrinkles

That make his skin looked inked,

I’ll hesitate To undress,

scared of the bed

I once laid upon

Without a rest .

Don’t want it to be my

Last place of rest.

The joys of youth,

But now I have

nothing to lose .

I’ve lived my life with grace

And know it’s my resting place

On earth, back to the ground,

Where I was first placed .

@trueemotions91

Round and juicy ,

I’ll eat you to the core,

Then I’ll throw you to the floor.

Making me dribble,

Dirty whore,

Want me to lick

The sweetness from the middle,

As it trickles down my throat

Makes me gag

Just a little .

That dirty apple .

@trueemotions91

Hey little lady,

Sitting across the bar from me,

With her pretty red hair ,

green glazed eyes

Looking everywhere

But ignoring my stare .

I just want show you how

Your life could be fair.

With a pretty little thing

Like you , I wouldn’t dare ,

I’d give you all the dreams in life,

If you just promise to be my wife ,

I love the way you hold your stare ,

When you no I’m all yours.

I just want show you happiness baby ,

So don’t be scared ,

Promise you my touch ,

Is soft ,

Coz a pretty lady like you

Belongs at the top,

So don’t be alarmed when I pull you closer,

I just wanna smell you a little bit better,

I wanna wrap your hair around my fingers,

And show you how much I really care .

@trueemotions91

Fondling ,

In between the leaves,

Of a crispy bed of seaweed.

Slithering down my body

To find thier new home

deep in between my legs,

Where the spiders wait

Late at night

Stalking thier next victim ,

The mouse use me for warmth,

Scared of the night time dawn.

the owl holds all

Of my darkest secrets,

The stars have witnessed

My deepest desire ,

She feels me

When I whisper ,

Her leaves curl

Into a twisted picture .

Their all use me for

shelter.

@trueemotions91

Don’t put out the light out on me

I asked

Ever so silently .

He turned ever so slightly

With a grin upon upon his cheek

Blew the light

And I was gone within a blink .

@trueemotions91

Damaged goods ,

I was once told,

Made my world ever so cold ,

Till one day,

I understood ,

And I was proud to be called,

My downs ,

My weakness’s ,

My failures ,

My emotions,

But

Because they

Made me strong

Made me independent

Made me rebuild

I become damage goods.

Nah I just learnt not to trust a fool no more .

@trueemotions91

All I need is air

The sun

The moon

The sea

All things that are beyond the beauty of the earth

When all falls silence , all at last will be

How the world was ment to be

I see you , your struggles and all the things behide

But nature is calling you

To heal you

In the silence , of the night

We need that, to reinstate

Reinstate with the earth , the very place we was made

To feel the air against your naked skin

The noise of the trees

The sound of the leaves and rain

This is what your body is craving

A break from hell

And back to heaven on nature’s ground

Bare footed

To recharge from the ground

Not from the television , we weren’t made a plug in

Pick up the leaves

let the creatures of earth wiggle on your feet

Put down the phone

And dig your hands into earths rich soil

Roll around like you never have

Smell the flowers and enjoy the earth.

@trueemotions91

Come see what I see

Twisted deformed faces in front of me

Crazy they call me

But these fuckers clearly can’t see

Like sheep in a line, all gawping when I open my mind

Don’t believe me when I say

It’s the most powerful thing about me

Trust me when I say it

Ain’t no delusion

I have to fight the beast everyday

You , you are nothing

Compared to this fucker

I cant escape it , not even run from it

Stuck with it till I die

Can you see ?

You , you are nothing to me.

Human like me

But I don’t use my fist to win this fight

My brain is always right

So no escaping me

Because once I get in

They ain’t no getting out

I cant escape me

Even the devil don’t want in this game .

A monster in disguise ,

A gift from god

Who knows what it’s called

Electric powers me

The Voltage erupts

Causing me a rage

With a mind full of volts

That turn into words

Them words turn into ideas

And the whole world spins .

Still makes no sense

Still can’t understand

Nor can I , so join the clan .

@trueemotions91

Shame

All I feel is shame.

Suppose to be the next big thing.

It was all in my genes but I can’t fulfill that dream.

It got me going through the motions.

Handing out potions.

During a lot of healing so I won’t feel.

A coping skill to distract me from the chills I get.

It goes hand and hand with the liquor I sip.

Hiding behind it’s lit so I can keep pouring it.

Drowning myself cause I’m tired of the reality of it.

It keeps downing me and I keep doubting me.

Overthinking cause I don’t know what you think of me.

Do you hear my pleads as I scream.

Or is it only in my mind?



Fatherless

You set the stage then vacated but your shadow still eclipses me.

Your path or mine, them lines are blurred.

I want to walk in your footsteps but who am I personally?

I took my mind from my body and thought how come we never spoke but I’m always talking to you.

I don't cry but its like I'm always shedding tears for you.

I started balling so we can be closer.

Looking to stands but every time, your seat empty.

Deep down, I'm empty. 

Suppose to be here but shots rang out.

Your bloody body, dropping, replaying like it’s the gamer winner.

Another black fatherless child.

It’s endless.

Senseless.

They asking why I’m so distant.

You was put in hearse before I learned how to mourn.

I’m still so torn.

Lost

Living in the present but stuck in the past.

Reminiscing of the time we had but these memories are only dreams.

You was gone before they can be.

Gone with the wind but I hear you in the breeze.



Even though I can’t remember how you sound.

Being your son, I’m proud but it comes with a lot.

Your image is splattered across my life and I fear that I can’t complete the portrait.

I look just like you but I can’t be you.

I’m shackled to you cause I’m a product of you.

I struggle to step out of your shadow cause you’re my light even in the darkness.

I wanna shine for you.

We’re so evolved but so primitive.

Powerful but still so broken.

A part of us is still stolen but it’s like we chosen to forget.

Masking it with hate and anger.

Our spirit is in danger.

Corrupted by different pigments or higher shades.

We are caged.

Not with bars but in our minds.

Boundaries higher than the Everest climb.

They would hate to see us at our prime so they attacked our pride.

Demoralize.

Then cast a gaze over our eyes.

And we think we’re alright cause we have fabric from different lands or material from deep within the land.

Unknown that we’re in quicksand without a branch .

Darts

Forever playing darts with my heart.

Dicing it to pieces.

Lost in the blackness.

Acting so wouldn’t see the sadness.

You was the captain of my madness.

Taking my breath away.

Now I can’t feel nothing.

Haven’t crushed in a minute.

Can’t get the same high.

The L different but the smoke keep showing you.

Then I realize y’all one in the same.

Only here for the moment.

Super Women

You can be vulnerable, that don’t make you weak.

Wearing a cape for so long you forget about your needs.

Your soul needs to feed.

What you see on the feeds only impedes,

Take your own lead.

Dismiss the stares and whispers.

You can can cry yourself a river.

No need to hold on, that only makes you bitter.

Remember those figures that didn’t listen to your tears but expected you to wipe theirs.

You gave your all but it’s never returned.

Going on like reruns.

Using and abusing, Never no healing.

When will it be done.

You carried a ton.



The Stars

I look to the star, they don’t shine the same.

I want be a star but the spark is not the same.

Passionate to passionless.

Losing sight of who I am.

Only seeing the scars.

Feeling what I lost.

This pain is not for sport.

I pray ,

somewhere between the folds of some pages,

someone wrote what I feel,

the yearning , the coldness , the grief,

I hope there is an explanation.

Baja           4/7/21

my black dog Baja 

stares up, blinking at pedals

falling from a tree 

About loving you

Yes

I feel stranded

on a lonely island in the middle of nowhere

nothing but the tide

that keeps me alive

day after day

wave after wave

Yes

I feel lost

in space where darkness is everything

stars flying by gifting me wishes

that may never come true

knowing my only wish

will forever be you

Yes

I feel overlooked

in the middle of a field, branches twelve feet high

beetles crawling side by side

fearing getting crushed by them

missing the safety

of your arms around me

Yes

I feel love

wherever I am, no matter the time

it’s stroking my side

there’s no place to hide

it’s my true love for you

I just wish that you knew

Yes

I really do
