the man got me by the balls
the devil got me by the ankles
I try to find a rock and a hard safe place
to hide my heart
but my head gets in the way
…this is funny
Inside
Freedomite
I didn’t get sentenced
to give away all these years
to give a damn
about your judgment
for the rest of my years
pssh!
can you laugh in free verse?
(insert bellowed villainous laugh)
good vibes though
it’s not about you
it’s about my choice
freedom
I’ve lived enough prisons
Inside Interference
unbeknownst
all we have been doing, is
getting in our own way, then blaming
something, someone else for it?
Socio-Structural Derivatives
there is
parity here
so much so
in that
it is
in all actuality
imparity.
we are
all treated
similar, in that
we are
all inmates
unequal- divided by
color.
And it Goes On
here we go again
anger and fear
the most potent concoction here
it’s too common here
too often peace gets commandeered
hostility volunteers
unity seldom accomplished here
it’s too toxic here
unsure, uncertain, I’m too cautious here
arrested development without cops in here
breathing isn’t free, it gets caught in here
misery is the domineer
and right now, it’s that time of year
When I Couldn’t See, Myself
to every teacher
you reached me
and I ask your forgiveness
I didn’t know how to live
so I was just living
ignorant to the wisdom of moderation
feeling imprisoned by limits
foolish to the divine feminine
thinking they were ‘just’ women
see?
it just took me a minute to get it
my learning process caused tension
each layer reached, I rebelled and was trippin’
believing more to this life, felt like a fiction
but as physical things diminished
I was left with the crickets
aha! I said it took a minute to finally get it
so I’d be remiss if I failed to mention
my friendships and support system,
who revealed that which was hidden
though you all could’ve cut all transmission
your communication and consistence
was a godsend to my senses
because it’s hard living in the trenches
while not coming off, or out, offensive
