I promised you all a lil sample of my poetry my last time around so here goes a one i'ma freestyle (yeh, we do that in poetry) about basically where i think i am in life....here goes nothin.......
I erased myself from many memories so tears don't have to fall
The joyous days are few as it seems my happiness is destined to die in sorrow
Tomorrow has nothing promised, still I'm afraid to go outside
Cause the comforts of my home are a certain barrier to all that oppose me
Not that I'm punkin out, it's plenty of man in me
But as a man, I realize it's no need to force myself into suffering
Unless I choose to become the world's strongest man
And I'm content with not dealing with those things that eat at my very being
And contort my essence and steal my blessings
Truths so deep, the Reverend ask me to help him out
So I stayed away from church
Cause althogh God watches over, I am convinced that this is where the greatest beast lurks
It's been said that what God has built a man can never break
So how do you explain my spirit
It's been said that what God has loved, a man can never hate
So how do explain the deliverance of today
Cause I despise every sunrise
A today that keeps me inside, away from the world
And away from those memories which erase me
I ain't got a name for it yet......please help me out wit that........better yet, if you can figure out the bigger metaphor of the whole poem, gone 'head and let ya boy know wassup.
As far as the personal stuff goes....I got a best friend, who we will call Cool Breeze, who is intent on making my life a living hell. Not literally, but its one of them lil stupid competitions fellas have. We always are throwin old issues with old girls and whatnot in each others face, and it seemed I had the card blanche in that one of his exes ended up being one of my better female friends (str8 platonic).Anyway, they both get super silly and half mad when they are around me and each other at the same time, cuz its like a automatic joke that I don't even have to tell no more (these are the funniest ones)...Anyway....I had a lil non-issue wit a young lady I wanted to get with....a non issue meaning I never had the chance to get at her like I wanted and she more or less blew the G off when I made the effort to talk to her.......she said it was cuz she was always busy, but i figured she was givin me that nice "no thank you". The goofiest part is how I still got a thing for ole girl, but you know how once you put yaself out on a limb once, you kinda be gun shy about crawling back out on the same limb.....its been awkward hellos and silences since I decided to ease up. Anyway, my boy is now intent on makin friends wit this young lady .........got her number and stuff over the Christmas break..........all so that he can try and keep her in my face the same way I have his sorta-ex around him all the time.....Niggas is goofy farreal, got to much time on they hands.
Speaking of goofy, My nigga C-bo ain't gon be returnin to HU with the rest of the squad.....Since freshman year, my whole lil crew seem to loses a bunch of folks ery semester.......so shout out to my niggas who still around and who still down even though we can't kick it how we use to.....Rizzle, Cool Breeze, Stan, Demarrius......how the hell we go from 30 deep to bout 5....lol......I guess at freshman orientation when they said look to the left and look to the right and then told us one these people won't be here when it comes graduation time they weren't lying.....must've walked on Ogden Circle. |
