Poems

Sometimes I think that it no way out
Sometimes I think it know way out
But I know that I be home soon you know
Being lock up is not for me
Father God forgive me and look over me
Father God please help me

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love you
And you know I do
Sometimes we fight
But I lay next to you at night
And know everything will be alright
Your love is like a train
That makes my heart choo choo
But me without you
Is like a clock without a cuckoo

I was walking to the trashcan throwing my chips in the trash
When I was stopped and handcuffed in front of my neighborhood store
I had an adult warrant and not I’m here
And everybody seen me getting arrested
I felt dumb as a doornail
The handcuffs were as tight as a screw on a bike
My stomach felt like the drop zone at Kings Dominion
My head pounded like a left hook from Ali

Lil Boy 2 Man in Making

Just think of me as a king
But not God
Just think of me as being an excellent person
And not a perfect human
Just think of me as a warrior
And not just a Fighter
Just think of me as being a young man learning from my mistakes
And not a young dumb*** criminal
Just think of me as a Female Lover
And not just a roller wit B****s
Just think of me as Father
And NOT just some young sperm donor
Just think of me as the BEST OF ME

And not just ME!!

Hold on to your love
Hold on to your dream
Don’t let it go away
Hold on to the love
Hold on to the dream
Don’t let it fly away

Mak it stay

Every morning I pray.
It’s not one morning dat go by that I wake up and be walking out these prison gates.
And show da young men dat da road I drove down is something they don’t want to experience.
For me to be young and still got a whole lot of life ahead of me,
I never wanted dis life.
For me here, it is I’m 21 years old and wake up in a jail cell not knowing when my time will
come.
When I’ll be able to walk out these prison gates.
And I hurt more cause I know I’m a young, intelligent man dat got a lot to offer.

Saved means to be helped by someone
When really needed at a bad time
And you get the help you needed
And you be happy that you got saved
When you needed it
That’s what it means to be saved.

Loving Life
The only way you have fun in life
Is to love life
In order to do anything in life
You must love life
And loving life means
Appreciating the things life has to offer
You must cherish the life God gave you
Loving life

Don’t just us by what you see
We know we made a huge mistake
Praying for forgiveness on our knees
God on our mind we seek for change
Yet there are still more left behind
Coming along but will take some time
We are ready to move forward
But there are peoples who hold us back
Snatch our freedom and our youth
It is so painful, can’t tell if it’s a heart attack
Now, I believe some of us will make it
Mind on track focusing on the goals
At the end it’s up to us to take it
So let’s wise up and rise up!

Get up, take my girl to Starbuck’s around 9:00 am
Get a coffee, newspaper, and walk down the street to Au Bon Pan, and get a muffin
Talk and kiss my girl and tell her how much I love her
Leave in the smack out Audi R8
Hang around the house talking until 12:00
That’s a wrap.

I was born into a small world
Trapped in a hood that had me
Lockdown
I was born into a small world
Because I was trying to
Find away in the big world
With my love my heart my
Everything.
I was born into a small world
Alone unspoken inside of a
Hood.
I was born into a small world
Trying to free my mind and
Change danger.
I was born into a small
World trying to be forgiven
For what I did I was
Born into a small world.

What happens to a Dream Deferred?
Does it get clear right before you wake up?
Is it one of your best experiences?
Does it put you in a place full of fun and love,
Then you wake up in a horrible place?
Do you forget it as soon as you finish sleeping,
Or do you never dream?
