  • You don’t know ME

    I am loving, I am caring I am kind
    But you don’t see because insecurities make you blind

    I give freely; I love hard
    But my sincerity you disregard

    My attitude is one of servitude
    To you this may seem odd
    But it’s a reflection of being a child of GOD

    I give props when props are due
    To this I will stay true

    You want titles, a pat on the back and accolades
    When I comment you think I’m throwing shade

    I see the potential in you that others overlook
    Your eyes show you have a magnetic hook

    I apologize at times my words may be sharp and blunt
    But it’s 2025 and there is no time to front

    Life is short, we only passing thru
    Time to wake up and do what we gotta do

    I’m a straight shooter
    But what you don’t know is that I’m a mentor and tutor

    I give as much as I take
    But I don’t have time to be fake

    Don’t have time to be sugar coating
    For the world to be out their boasting

    The way I live, the way I talk, the way I act
    This all real it’s just straight up facts

    No one wants to see me for who I am
    Always thinking I’m running a scam

    All I want is for everyone to live and love better
    Come together so we can make some of this cheddar

    No matter what I do or how I try
    Someone always twisting the truth into a lie

    Why can’t you see, I just wanna be me

    I’m just a real sista from the hood
    That’s been mis-judge and mis-understood

    So, just let me be
    Cause you don’t know me

  • Splendid Year

    Movable joints, as if freshly greased.
    My elbows and knees will move easily while I watch Sunsets in the East.
    Silver shafts peak through honey brown, as if touched by a wand.
    My hair will be healthy and shine even if I once was blonde.
    Adrenaline shifts down to lower gears, even grinding to a halt.
    My anxiety will melt away as I drink a strawberry malt.
    Numbers steadily climb as they reach heights never dreamt of.
    My bank account balance will stay full like the belly of a content dove.
    Floating high into the clouds, light as a feather.
    My heart will pitter patter as I read countless love letters.
    Gravity bends light, and one can see for miles from atop the tallest mountain.
    My pride will exude for my child from every cell as if it’s a perpetual fountain.
    Spears, bullets and missiles soar through the atmosphere yet are deflected.
    My armor will hold steady, and my inner peace will be protected.
    Wood, stone, and concrete form a cocoon around a soft and warm oasis.
    My heart will be content, as I learn to be satisfied with life’s basics.
    Bombs diffuse as ancient frequencies encompass all that exists.
    My ultimate wish comes true as I learn to surrender to life and simply no longer resist

    • Piper, I love how in this poem you focus on cultivating a year full of happiness and contentment. I feel like we spend so much time thinking about how we can be better when we should focus on how our lives are already beautiful. By letting go and refusing to resist life, I hope that you are able to live like never before. Thank you for inspiring me!

        I am so happy to hear you enjoyed my poem.
        Yes, isn’t it lovely to focus on the positives? Not always easy…but lovely nonetheless. At 54 I’ve learned that gratitude is the secret to life. ♥️
