I am intelligent and a good person
I wonder what my life will be like in twenty years
I hear a UFO landing
I see a beautiful unicorn gliding over a rainbow
I want to be appreciated for who I am
I am intelligent and a good person
I pretend that I am the most famous doctor
I feel understood
I touch the head of big foot
I worry about the ones close to me
I cry about the lose of my grandfather
I am intelligent and a good person
I understand the way of the world
I say that God will help you though anything
I dream of being successful
I hope to conquer all my dreams
I am intelligent and a good person
I’m from the roots of my grandparents
Hanging the clothes outside to dry
Backyards filled with dust from rugs being beating
Sweet smell of baked pies on a Sunday morning
Gathering around the ones I love
Laughing without any care in the world
Seeing fights on every corner
My younger siblings sleeping in one room
My mother working all day and night
Having a party every weekend without any parent in sight
Church was mandatory every week
Women were their voice heard in the society
Segregated community has now ended
Having fun with live
I’m from the roots of my grandparents
Snakes
Long, sliding
Preying, predator, watching
Standing on their own
Hunter
Tiffany
Short, smart
Learning, daring, fun
Spreading her own horizon
Explorer
There was a designer named polo
He never thought about his logo
Selma was his wife
She said she would stab him with a knife
After he played with his dog togo
A gray old man lived on the ground
He never really got around
He never had any friends
They said he looked like a hen
He always came home and sat and frowned
You don’t know anything about life
It’s a not a dumb, stupid fight
I will never hustle
I didn’t have enough muscle
Because I know I’m right

Birds singing great songs
Pollinating the big Earth
Help grow the great youth
You thought I would leave your side but are still here.
I always thought we would be together forever.
But since u left I cant stop thinking about you.
I dream that one day that we would be together again.
I see you walk toward me then your gone.
I see now that you need your space.
I’ll be patiently waiting for you.
I hope one day you will realize that I’ll love you always.
When you lay in your bed you’ll think of me.
And how I made you feel so special.
I see you’ve come back to say you sorry.
But I don’t want to hear it.
You caused me too much pain threw out years.
I don’t think I can forgive you.
But I guess we all make mistakes.
Since we had been backing together I feel so lucky to have you.
We’re living so happily now I cant picture anything else.
Now we have grown together as one.
I only want to know one thing.
Will you marry me?
The day you left
The day you left me my world ended
I never knew Love until I met you
But then you left and I know love no more
Everyday I wish you would come back to me
I’d pray every night before I went to bed
I would wake up seeing your face then you were gone
I never thought that losing you would be so hard
Everyday I think about you, thinking you would change your mind
I can remember our first kiss how sweet it was
Now I’ll never know how that would feel again
I think how our lives would have been
If I never made you leave, my life would never be the same
And if you’ll come back to me I’ll be better than before
I know you could never forgive me for all the pain I put you threw
But now I know how you felt
But it took you leaving me to know that I let a good thing pass me by
I just want to say now I understand what it means to love
The summer day is the most pleasant day of the year
They are always close near
You want to be outside
As you mind will reply
The days and nights are endless
It also shows magnificent greatness
It’s a time to have fun with friends
While you all pretend
Summer love has its effects
But it can connect
Humid and sunny days
What better way to outstay?
As you curl into bed
Just think of the next day ahead.
A child’s cry
A child is viewed as a blossoming flower.
Beautiful and filled with so much charisma.
I am supposed to live without a care.
But does anyone notice me working all
Day and night just to get something to eat.
I want to live a normal child’s life.
Why can’t I just be?
I will never get to be a child again.
And the time is now.
Please hear my cries.
Why can’t I just be?
God’s Gift
I always wonder if god would sent me an angel
Soon as I asked you came walking into my life
Every time I see you I thank god for this wonderful
gift that he gave me
Since you been in my life I felt my happiness in you
So I’m going to promise you this one thing that I will always
love you no matter what
I just sit around and think how much my life has improved
since I devoted my life to you
Now you know my love is true and I would never do
anything to hurt you
You make me feel complete in everyway
You have my mind, heart, body and soul and I never
want to lose you
