Tell me why you are afraid of my dissatisfaction
did your mother tell you I should always be satisfied with you?
She lied
I'll wrap my head when you want to rest next to my noggin
Keep your thoughts 
This is where we will not share them
Your train of thought 
I don't think we are going the same way 
I was raised to first please myself before I ever please you 
I was told to respect my purple before I reign on you
Rain on you
Raindrops and morning dew
You decide how much my love outpours on you
With every action and word
with every man, you align your political mind to
Do not scream I love you when I disagree with you 
Keep your class and speak not ill on my name
Because your eggplant is best liked in cheese
and your cheese can go with many things
but rats love peanut butter not cheese
despite popular belief
You will tell them I am a hood rat 
A Hoe
A   woman without virtue
Moral
or an interpersonal issue
I will then point out the first time you discovered your mother loved a man more than you
Or the time you wanted to justify the hole you think she sits in
the one that gets bigger and bigger
every time dissatisfied oozes out of my teeth
you will scream it is she 
her 
she devil
demon
I will tell you my family issues are not present in you 
In fact, you are the reason I love them more
  The reason I have an open door to my heart 
You lack heart 
Still afraid of your own truth 
So screaming mine seems better 
The I blame you 
women like you 
please do
it is overdue
the check you can't check
testify when you don't have shit 
when your tears stream faster than you are willing to catch
when you use me as your punching bag?
when my sympathy has saved your face 1000 times
when stupid became my middle name in the presence of women that would never date you
when the odor of your attitude starts to hit the fumes of my confusion
the contact will remind me
many women have died trying to save the hearts and minds of men like you 
Morals will not replace your lack of self-forgiveness
So I'll take your hate 
I'll put it next to the panties you love the most
look at them every day
remind me you love to take them off 
with your armor still on
like love and war are the same things 
you still believe love and war are the same things 
like a bomb made of household things 
you were tripping 
on the insecurities of the women, you refuse to see the good and the bad in
I watch my step 
In fact, I learned to stand in love 
Not fall in it
because I have no intentions to place my weight on anyone whose adrenaline is based on 
how fast they can run away from answered prayers
instead, I will watch the hard work make the fruit of every labor pain
I'm proud of you 
show your truth that's hard to do

Gamble

When all the luck fails  Gamble Today I looked down to see if my heart was okay Gamble Life is a gamble Sometimes simple seems uncomfortable I haven't seen simple I haven't seen it in a while  I don't think it likes my style I usually stay single  I don't want to hurt nobody's child I'm too in love with smiles I function differently  Man say's pain makes you alive Someone let him borrow a womb for a while Adrenaline hit different when you have the capacity to birth a child Would you make them the same? Your thoughts left in the pink matter ready to bring to life the deeper parts of your mind Dear bring forth a child that smiles Adventures and hugs that styles their insecurities until those eyes reflect back beauty and love  Be cautious to define love  how it changes suddenly or swiftly  slow and incognito  the capacity of their hands can bring forth or tear it down  that power starts as a...

"Better man than my father..."

He said," I'm a better man than my father" She said, "I can't tell." He said, "He ain't shit" She replied, "You are the shit" He said, " I know" She knows  She knows that there isn't much of a difference  just a list of things you want to see differently. Like the little things you wish he did for your mom  The fact that you stay around hoping he will come around All the little ways you appreciate your mom  Even when he seems to forget the meaning of her name but she knows you are the same you forgot to forgive him for being human for being less than a perfect man  even when the blemishes in you make you a less than a perfect man  you hate him so much you forget to accept her for who she is for all the flaws and blame she is willing to give but will not take Like it's always his fault in your face it shows  the tight eyebrows whenever you go to that place You still believe yo...

Fresh mouth, Pretty teeth

Pretty teeth Keep them clean  Pretty smile  Pretty things Behind a pretty smile Beautiful Mind Behind it all a bunch of lies I lie to myself all the time When I say it's okay Okay is a word that puts a bandaid on  the feelings that resurface  on the surface my face still beams with lights so bright they blind behind the fade a fist that punches and kicks  like boots made for steel ready to fight at mercy's will I will fight back tears I will fight back black tears my white tears my colored tears my water is mine I get to keep my water after you have taken my love  taken my vulnerability  taken the best in me and left me with lackluster looks I get to keep my water I will keep my water To drink the salt of my wounds To drink the fresh of my tongue To wash my hole To wash my holes  because when you testify to say I'm insane when you tell them about the crazy girl you laid with yo...
