I’m not a poet.
Really I'm not.
Dream big I thought
You're the next big thing ,
They will love what you bring
But I guess my immaturity overrules my gift
My words keep going in circles and circles trying to find words that fit
I
couldn't dish the delicacy their hearts yearned for
I
wasn't their hero
I
was just an uneven diamond .
I'm not a poet .
Even the heavens complain when I open my mouth ,you know it
I can't even keep my rhyme in sequence
My thoughts never sinking in
Never syncing with
my
Emotions filling my lungs
As i try to coax you to have an insatiable thirst for
This diamond
The diamond that cannot spark a fire anywhere
Let alone burn the flame.
I'm not a poet .
And I'm sorry .
Not because my persuasiveness will not cause you to
Come around and give in to you know what .
I'm sorry that I'm not your poet .
I don't serve your poetic justice in your court
And I'm sorry if that's illegal
But
My poetic verse will break you .
And you will give in .
Être un poète ou pas être un poète, c'est la question

The Born Chained
Welcome
Welcome to a land where
Milk and honey were plenty
Where bread is given to the hungry
Where the sick were never famished
Where the land was evergreen
Our cities ,so we kept them clean.
Welcome to a land of freedom fighters
Of a people who never gave up the struggle
Of guerrillas and mujibhas who lost their lives in the struggle
Of mothers and fathers who were legendary
This was our legacy .
Welcome to a land of the Born Frees
Of the wannabe enemies
Copy cats of the cats we freed ourselves from
Just so that we could win back our home
Them Born Frees ,they lived the life
Free school ,lots of concerts ,that was the time
Whatever happened to that vibe?
I’m sorry about the paparazzi and the press
The reports are just degrading ,I guess
Yes inflation is not a new craze
Why the fuss ? It’s the new paper they hate
Not that anything’s wrong with them ,I’d say
But the unrealistic promises ,we regret
We say it’s not right for them to take
But this is our life now ,love or hate
A name for my generation
The Born Chained
So welcome to the land of the Born Chained
Of very precautious people afraid to get chained
Of mothers who realised that our pain
Is far greater than the White rule change
For we are forbidden to speak and forced to listen
To false venomous doctrines they created
Is all not fair in love and war
That you must bring us shame?
Deny us the truth? Is the truth our price to pay ?
As I leave this platform of hate
To all my fellow Born Chained ,hushed in silence
Dream .Believe.Speak out .Don’t be misled.

Perfection.
"Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves."
Really? If I choose you ,will I get what i deserve?
Or what you’re worth.
Yes ,I know you’re 100% gold
Irreplaceable ,Every girl wants to be able to hold
But are you worth the pain and toil
The suffering that causes me to boil
Over the edge.
All you have to do
Is stand there and smile
And the whole womankind
Is melting into chocolate piles
There’s no effort or tribulations or trial
To make you that perfect type
Of man that every lady wants to talk with for a while.
Are you what I deserve ?
Or what I’d reserve
for those few girls hoping that this summer
They’ll get their first kiss in your Hammer
To have that smile like Keke Palmer
Spread across their face when they see you walking farther
Farther away from that plastic shine of a bother.
Looking at your face ,appearing deep in thought
A penny for your thoughts?
As I look at your majestic face with that perfect jawline
I ask myself
Are you what I deserve?
Not a dime .
I deserve better ..

They kill themselves so they feel alive
Drain their pockets dry just before they die
And when interrogated for the crime
They do nothing but stay high
They take those thots out for the night
And when they tired ,dump them by side
Girl ,you’re nothing but a side (thot)
Girl,there is no class hide and seek though
You them tell you a star ,why you trippin
Why you chasing games you ain’t fit for
I vow you wouldn’t last ,without them cheating though
You say you love the game ,you just gold digging

Beats to my friend.
Tell me ...
when did we stop caring about the teddy bears that we chose
When did we start start selecting posts
When did we stop hating the boys
And let them play you ,like you’re a toy ?
If you remember tip me off
I’d like to go back to where we were going
Lands of candy canes and barbie dolls
No complications ,just some close dolls.
And even though you just running off
You are going to come back feeling lost
Then try to fix my life like you’re the boss
I’m in my own lane ,stay in yours.
My life doesn’t need fixing from a loss
I’m just trying fix myself for the Lord
You say I need help ,Whatchu doing?
Say I need new friends ,I’m looking at you man
I’m not trying to burn anybody
I’m just trying to change your mind
If you keep rolling with them boys
You’re going to be dead before you know it .

“Write . That’s what they said alright And i guess write was the right thing to do Since that was the only time to enjoy the rights . So I wrote about your face And how it pumped weak adrenaline in to my veins Letting it overcome my fears . I know I did the right thing .”

“And when staring wasn’t enough ,we held hands and let his fingers talk to my skin”

It’s 2 in the morning and I wish someone would just tell me how to stop missing you. I wish someone could teach me to forget the soft touch of your fingers on my back and how I felt sleeping in your arms. I wish my ears had never heard your sweet words and we never had a first kiss. I wish I could forget all about you because ever since the day you left I’ve been in a whirlwind of missing you and if it doesn’t stop soon I’m not going to be able to breathe.
