"Dope Boys" [Poem]

They love saying dope;
platanos & their facial hair
know how to keep my legs in the air.

Their big juicy lips;
I believe biting them down 
will help take away their frown.

His sad eyes won't leave my mind.
I wish I could put the light back in
but he keeps me at a distance.

They stay looking dope.
Goya beans have passionate eyes
that still keep me awake late at night.

They are so aggressive.
Hold me down and wrap their arms
around my curves keeping me calm.

His kisses won't leave my lips.
He told me to take it slow
and I freely gave it a go.

I'm not naming names
cuz these triflin' hoes want to have you only cuz I had.
I'm not naming names
cuz these triflin ' hoes aren't as good
as me when playing bad.

"Nothing to Lose" [Poem]

I'm tired of being unnoticed.
I'm tired of living life they want me to.
I;m tired of following the rules.
It's time I break 'em
'cause I got absolutely nothing to lose.

Absolutely nothing to lose.
I already lost you;
the love I had for myself I gave to you.

"Unnoticed" [Poem]

Being at work and being in love is so hard. It's hard work. Working just to get by. Working somewhere you're made to feel inferior to your superiors. Loving someone who makes you feel invisible, but you make them feel visible.

Being in love and being at work is so hard. It's hard work. Loving someone more than yourself is a disadvantage because when you're on your own, it makes you feel like you can't manage. Working somewhere where you're underestimated and no matter how you go above and beyond your accomplishments are underrated.

"Missed You" [Song]

It's Friday night.
It's cold outside.
We're meeting up tonight.

I'm finally there,
but you can't see where
until I'm in font of your glossy stare.

You kiss me.
I hug you.
I wanna say I missed you!

We sit down.
Talk things out.
I'm still filled with such doubt.

Asked me why
I said goodbye.
I couldn't take all of your lies.
You played the field left and  right.
You were never ever mine!

But here we go again
acting like we're just friends.
You hate yourself 'cause you lost me.
Can't stop thinking about Brendi.

"Bar of Soap" [Poem]

I was your bar of soap. Soft to the touch, smooth when wet, fresh smell of flowers, meant to be handled with care because it could melt and fall down the drain or break into tiny pieces and never be regained.

You had me on the palm of your hand. You spun me around numerous times so your fingertips could squeeze the purity of my love to lather your mind, body and soul. But before you could press me against your body, your thoughts led you to believing the grass will always be greener on the other side. There had to be bigger and better; colorful and different shaped options.

At that moment, I slipped right through your fingers and broke into pieces. You swore you'd never let it happen again because it took so much energy and money to find a brand that would ease your pain and take care of your sensitive skin. Unfortunately, it happened again because you were so consumed in your thoughts of rage by what had happened that day.

At work, not enough hours so you could feel the financial strain. At home, everyone is out working so no one was there to come to your aid. Your friends were depressed and weren't down to go out but play video games. You never let your girlfriend in your heart and mind anyway.

This time the broken pieces of soap quickly melted in your strong grip and the water from the shower head moved it back and forth the bathtub while your life flashed before your eyes and you were staring into space. You came back into reality realizing the one thing you had control of; the bar of soap, had gone down that dark hole of a drain and you yelled at the top of your lungs, "No, wait!" Focus was all it took to appreciate her remains.
