To those who love me Acknowledgements To those who tried the negativity game with me…..It didn’t work. Special Thanks to Mr. Marques J ME. Where do I begin. This two letter word gives us a glimpse into what really matters. It all comes down to the fact that your life, your world is just that: yours. I wonder how words can be so powerful. I, WE, YOU, LIFE, LEAD, LOVE, CREATE, INSPIRE, DANCE, MUSIC, US…ME. Since writing “Questions” I have come to realize something, I will never surrender to the point of fakeness. I will never try to do or say something for the sake of someone else. I won’t limit myself. I will not censor. From this point forward, it will only be about ME. This book is somewhat a continuation of “Questions” in that I am still asking and I wanted you all to understand the importance of that. If we don’t ask how will we know? Why do you think people get mad at each other and raise voices? It is because they do not have the full picture and they do not want to question. I’ve always known that it is better to be a leader than a follower. It is now years later that I feel it, I own it. This is neither about them nor how they see me. It is about now and tomorrow, how I see me. All that matters is that I am content with my choices on a whole. With the first book the reasoning behind things were given to you in an attempt to expand your way of thinking. “ME” will not be so forthcoming. It will be up to you, whether it be with a group you love or alone, to decipher the reasoning behind it all. Ultimately, it is my life. I choose my actions and in return, I choose my consequences. When we are judged, we are sadly sometimes not just judged on ourselves but all whom we know. When we are judged we will be judged alone, I will be judged on me. Hope you enjoy the journey… Words about Ali Memories When you first found out, you cried and cried Tried and tried, but you never overcame No pain, no more, you know that this was God’s will Hey ma, no more injecting morphine pills It hurt me to see the pain Across my mother’s face Every time the jab pierced her skin Stop crying Gorgeous Fox It’ll be okay In and out almost every week Walking the halls, coloring and watching TV Not wanting to touch the bed or you Being scared of what I might do Last day was hard Specially when the medics came Trying to get you out of bed and hearing the Screaming of his name. I don’t know how you endured all the pain again and again From the X-rays to the chemo, to the needles in your thigh…. Gorgeous Nubian Fox……..It’ll be ok. You You said I was nothing, You said I was a failure You called me a four eyes freak You said I was not pretty enough You called me dumb and stuff Can’t take these mental attacks anymore! Are you blind to see that these words hurt me, If I said all of this to you Would you like it or would it scar your inner peace and your sanity? No matter what you say or do, you will never bring me to surrender Think I forgot , Hell no, I remember! I Am I’m inside out I’m black and white Want to always be alone No playing games If you like it, great If you don’t, that’s fine Nothing fake, all real, all me, all the time This is who I am Approval Feel like I don’t need your approval Feel like I don’t need your validation Trying to be as strong as I can be Is it best to keep me in my own isolation? Tears These are the tears of heaven These are the tears of pain These are the tears of passion All of these tears in an empty vase Should a vase be half-empty or full? I ponder that question constantly So much for life’s ideologies Why is the vase empty? Should I make a start on the race? Curiosity The doors of my mind have been closed to what could have been The doors of my mind have slowly been opened Taking in all that I see, thinking about all that I did not see. What is wrong with all this curiosity? Pain The way our pain continues to recycle itself until we go to see a shrink, I think we all know when we are on the brink Deal with your anger once and for all Then you don’t got to call me anymore Pearl Wanting you to appear in front of me To lend me a hand, why doesn’t she understand? Laying down facing each other like strings of white pearls, all shiny and new With a line down the center separating us two. Is that why the world is half and half? Similarities to bring us together, differences that tear us apart, round and round we go only to get back to the start. Begin to End? End to Begin? Circle of life recycling again Fear 2 Thunderstorms make me happy So does the rain I close my eyes and the blinds It is then I feel no more pain Waste Waste is what you said it was Was it really? That reality a waste? Throw it in the bin, Toss it away How was it a waste as I was learning not to listen to what you say Leaving behind what was unjust, unequal of the dark of day Heart Breathing gives us heart Breathing gives us control Breathing gives us symphony Breathing gives us control Control of the minds Control of our lives Control of the moment Control of the spies Spies of the future Spies of the past Grace us with your presence Peace: you won’t be attacked Attacked verbally, physically or mentally I’m going on record to say yes to thee Being verbally rude and crude is one thing Mentally just brainwashes your mind Physically something worse I’d leave behind Behind the curtain Behind the door Behind the carpet Is the one you’re waiting for… For the children For U and I For all of the globe To come behind The cause for woman and mankind Kind of lovely Kind of Nice To play wit you Don’t have a price Price to pay for freedom Price to pay for kindness Price to pay for love Is nothing compared to greediness and blindness Blindness of who? Of You, of Me? I don’t think I’m blind To see what you can but don’t want to see Seeing the dollar Looking at the sky Thinking there is no creator Money, money, money You gonna die… Die, if you do not get a piece Die, if you crumble and fall Nothing peachy and sweet Compared to my apple pie Pie is full of numbers Pie is full of fruit It is only when you punch them in That you get a brand new suit Suit you that well To be reaching for space Flush the truth down the john You say the truth is the misplaced disgrace. The Box Carefully placing the box on the ground with much precision and care Im kinda happy that you are in there And not here, no more adhering to the emotion of blame Does he blame you for what happened? I think he might, Maybe he’s scared of living with you not in his eyesight. Not drinking up there 1 and 7 you got the day of your birth Remember when I used to go to church? Remember the day as yesterday Listening to the music at home All of a sudden the lights go out You’re wrapped in ice, just froze Till the sun shines So we can get on our knees and go blind I went permanently blind from fear of continuing life What is one hand without the other? What is a partner all alone, with no other? Partner, a part of two, you and me Me and you. * 2 lines have been taken out Interests Have my best interests at heart? Where we ever meant to be apart? Smiling in my face and laughing with me Is this what you’d call positivity so lovingly? I hate having to be careful of who I tell what to. Does this ever happen to you? Who can you trust if not your boos? You? Respond Why don’t people understand? That others have their own plan Following orders like a soldier Eventually he will mold her She will become his servant The one who she responds too. The only one she should respond to is You. Pink Sky Pink Sky Purple Rain One shows love The other pain Two lovers combined Intertwined in life Pink and Purple Sky and Rain Opposites attract The others just play the game Silent Cries Moonlight by skies In the dark She sees her shadow In the light She sees none All goes around Back at one Someone hear her silent screams Someone come and save her From the monster…….. Valentine Valentine’s day is today Talent in the vine Where’s the grape Is it hiding or gone? Was this ever fate? Emotions Emotions are they ever what we see? R they what we don’t see? Loads of crocodile tears in life If it doesn’t attack the heart, drop it Crocodile Tears galore, never hear their heart roar. Tear 2 Every tear shed is like a loss all over again Every tear shed feels like my soul is closer to accept Your life being alive on the other side Other side of the ocean Other side of the sea Your spirit is always with or nearby me Whether I’m in Fiji or China NY or Alaska You will always be in NJ Visit you all the time in reality or in dreams It all is real, to you how does it seem? Conversation of the Minds What do you want to find? The truth of their feeling The questions layered peeling The fakes will send you reeling Realing for what is real and truthful Trying to always eat with love the fruitful Rain My heart just dropped into my hand Am I that bad to stand? Don’t want to let anyone hear my story Water running into my bloodstream From all that indoor rain I adore you, I do but Why give me all that pain? Man/Woman Man is music Woman is words I am you upside down U and I in reverse Can you hurry up and get out of town? M to the M W to the W Rivers and streams is what they can make together As well as E’s Do you think you truly see? Obvious Question A few driving lessons with an instructor I ask and ask and ask Driving was ok, I parked “You ask the most obvious questions”, he said At least it was a question right. Are you paid to teach? Or are you a “teacher” in order to get pay? Is there such a thing as an obvious question What’s better an order or a suggestion? Run Away What if I had run away and you found me? Would you hug me and tell me that it is ok Or Would you yell and scream till your lungs got sore? Paint means love Resting my paint brush on the easel Getting up to paint another picture What will be the subject of my art this time? To paint means to love? Cover Laying my head on my pink pillow Being covered by my pink quilt cover My head is spinning Am I really being covered by my quilt or Am I being covered up by my emotions? Is my true self being bombarded with other people’s junk? Cold trying to become warm I wrap myself in-between the lovers Is this my safety net Is that what I need? To be trapped up in the warmth of someone’s love to feel warmth Hugging myself tight, I close my eyes Will I be ok tonight? When tomorrow comes what will I be? Wrapped up in warmth of love, Will you ever leave? Closing the Door All these works need to be displayed Where all can see when they walk into the room If I close the door on these beauties, things that make me feel alive and worthy what is left of me. Walk in closets are so much better At least I see what I have I can pick and choose what I’d like to wear Closing the door on most things means not wanting to see, to believe, to acknowledge it Closing the door to the other world Closing the door of my mind to my occupation and Opening it up to calmness and meditation Closing and blocking the anxiety of fear Unless we have to, we should never close the door Closing the door to the past, opening it wide to the future The things I love should be open for all to see Truth The truth Are we able to define it? Is truth a rut that we can escape from That we can get ourselves out of? My truth, your truth , their truth, the global truth? Everything starts at home in one’s soul I have to be honest with me before I try and take the realness of being honest outside where I can help other people. In that sense, does honesty equate truth? Devour Wanting once more to eat my emotions Mind twisting and turning over what I should do Go to Subway with my Green Iced tea, devour you? Stay silent in the 4 corners of my room? Affair Some days and nights a week I’m supposed to be with you I turn this into more, because I can’t resist Like became love And when you love you can’t give in This is what you have wanted for a long time To be held Starting off liking and you change your mind “why do we veer of track” We find the other more alluring and mesmerizing U find comfort, joy, acceptance, approval U stay as long as it is pleasurable It was 4 years. Days and minutes pass, where I can c myself somewhere else Sometimes I feel I can do whatever I put my mind 2 Sometimes I feel as though I am alone and I can’t Writing of aloneness, is there a rulebook that states it R we alone coming in, living and leaving? I suppose it depends on the situation, some of us, sadly are brought in alone, no one to care. Others are brought in with people who say they care but often spend numerous hours alone and some are brought in here with people who have hearts of gold. Living alone. Have a place all to yourself? Sharing a place but living alone inside. Leaving: Our bodies placed in a confined space….(Where do our spirits go?) Taking other people’s lives Taking other people's lives. What does that mean? That I physically kill someone Someone can't be killed from the inside? It can't be an inside job? We only care when someone is not there in the flesh Why? Placing pressure only on physical death Looking at what it is only on the outside, not caring about within Emotions can die, sometimes life is death unless you turn it around. We ALL die more than once, We ALL have ups and downs Death in the sense that one knows is overrated. Sure we all one day are not going to be here, BUT think: How many times you have died? ME: Plenty Many people have taken my life on numerous occasions It is up to me to take it back and OWN IT! Come again Come again rain To the days where everything was wet Come again mama Back when we were together Come again trust Did that ever really happen? Come again NY When I was happy Come again love People that adore and bring me joy Come again love Come again love Come again love Come back home Calm Sitting in the car, reading a book The tree above me giving me shade Cool, calm winds rushing up to greet me Laying back in the chair, deep breaths For the first time I feel free More cold winds say hello, they obviously agree with me. Haven Place where you go to escape? Haven Place where you go to play games? Haven Place where you go to be you Haven Room where you are on cloud 9 With your thoughts, your mind, your conscious. We are never alone It is only when my freedom is taken away that I am alone. Room Does it have 2 be 4 walls, it can’t be an open space? I have 2 be put in 4 walls so I don’t escape I have to be put in 4 walls so like a lion, I don’t roam free I do as my master says No mind of my own these days Can a caged bird sing? Can a lion cry? Can a ladybug whisper? All these questions are my picture He came back Hands shaking, Swerving from side to side Palms sweating, Heart beating, Anxious Mind on fire Feelings of death…numbness Nervousness Heavy breathing… all cause he came back Every time Everytime you both yell at me I ask What am I gonna do Everytime you put me down, I know I’m probably gonna fail you Everytime something is blamed on me, It is just one more thing you have to look in the mirror to see. You even admitted that you do that, Laughed it off as “something you can’t help” When you understand, if ever that I am my own person. If I follow you like a dog, always on your tail What will I lead? Where will I go? Don’t wanna hear I don’t want to hear anymore screaming ,yelling or fights Don’t want to run to my room and hide no more Let me be me Leave your criticism and hypocrisy at the door That’s why I wanna move out, leave this place. Get my own place, run free, and fill my own space Ask or tell? Ask me or tell me in a nice tone? Do most of what you say Gets done and you start to criticize, why? What’s worse: That I am doing it Or That you cannot! Why can’t anyone see all of this happening to me? Treat me right Treat me the same way So much for equal pay Down of my luck Treating me strangely No thanks to the hate that you gave me. After all these questions, Am I still yours? Did you ever love me to begin with? A star pupil, great grades at school, although a bit rude. A star gal, friendly and cute although crappy grades at school. Which one do you love? 1st born is always gonna be a failure? 2nd one will turn out fine If you ain’t a doctor, you ain’t nothing Fine, 100 percent, no race against the clock No having to play tic-toc Book Reading you from front to back Loosing my mind being sucked into a different world It is inspiring, teaches you that there is always more, you can always be better. Every sentence, every phrase, every word pops like I’ve never seen. What is going on? What is going on? I can’t breathe I can’t think I’m losing control I want this I’m scared What is going on? My soul is pouring out of my chest Am I 2 stressed? Am I placing 2 much pressure on myself? My soul is pouring out of my chest What is going on? I’m driving myself insane What is going on? Banging my head against the glass Want to smash my head in and die I’ve died before, what is the big deal if I die again? Can’t Sleep Can’t sleep bad dreams. Wake up! Write Stay awake for 10mns or so I go back 2 bed Why does it take getting up and “working” to put me back to sleep more calmly then I woke? Eating Eating my pain again Eating my sorrow once more Driving, music blazing Wish my soul would show me the door. Tell me to come back when I feel better Right now.tell me to get lost… Do Do some of life’s problems have scripted answers? Someone dies and they all gather round and say “I’m sorry. I understand” You do something good they all say “Congrats, well done” Again the same question. Why do we get the answers that we do? Is there a notebook of answers to life’s unanswered questions? Word 4 word, same responses are given Is it an answer or just a response You don’t know what to say, you look at the book Book of other people’s lives Don’t know why you are saying it but you are just cause others are Do we ever get the real truth? Shower Lines of water falling fast onto the ground What does it do? What sound does it make? Pouring onto me getting all wet Running for cover inside, wanting the rain to stop Calming down a little bit, relief is coming my way My mind is somewhat relaxed. It stops all I hear are the sounds of the gutter and cars speeding past Beginning again this time with lightening, the more water comes down, the more liberated, excited I feel. I’m on top of the world with all the winds and water. Clouds are grey. Everything’s dripping. Rain is my shine Something that makes me feel warm, comforted, thankful, inspirational. Everytime I feel I’m Starting Over again. Introducing a calmer, peaceful, open-minded me. We control whether we want to open ourselves up? Water falling on me, appreciating the light’s mysteries. Turning it on and off is a metaphor for our ability to see all of life. If we turn the knob and be thankful In return we’ll get wonders Creation of the color line Do we? Do I create my own limitations? I was somewhat of a latchkey kid, the TV raising me All that I see I believed Images on the TV screen, opinions given, screwed in my brain All of these people “asking” me what I thought Do I create all the different colors in my mind? Is color really that deep? Is it just an appearance, shallow? Judging on the outer, isn’t it sadly what we are about? We are sometimes taught this behavior… I’ve learned a year ago that I have to say goodbye to the creation of my color lines. Rose Lute V This gift is very precious, it is not just something you get I believe it has to be earned not given If it is given to all who you meet you are playing their hearts? Simple melodies invite more value 4 roses and the music slow has to equate the synonym of it It begins and never ends even after you’re done. It stays in your head forever: real, classic, exceptional You call and ask if you can hear more music and smell the roses time and time again, even if the owners seem annoyed that you are always calling. At least you know they love what you have. Night The night Dark, black sometimes blue, clear white half moon The night Calm, peaceful, silence, relaxation The night NO yelling, screaming, fighting, no anxiety The night Silhouettes of trees, branches and leaves 3.30am he’s up, stomach’s a mess It is only the night when I really see The night I can breathe I am free Express I can’t be late, have to be on time Which route do I take long or short way? Long way has traffic lights and detours Short is quicker, no lights, everyone knows me cause I speed Sitting in my office thinking about the beginning of the journey today Should I have taken the shorter way, get there faster no time to think No, I’m glad I took the longer way, I did it my way. Worthless Why do you do that? Is that a way of making me feel guilty I’m worthless What’s worse you ask Physical or verbal abuse 3 triangles, isosceles, acute and obtuse Using one as your happy mask How does that make you feel Great And me? U don’t care Fly up fly down Around in sadness and despair Des pair of you, I see? Ain’t that what has really gotten you Trippin’ like a bumblebee. Genocide Am I really gonna make it Can any of this be used for song? Only when it’s time I suppose Are any of my words wrong? I love what I write I’m not about to be a recording artist anytime soon Who is gonna see or use my words Might as well throw you , put you all aside Is this my own personal genocide? Helpless When he said what he said I died inside Is that what you really think? Is that how you really feel? That Because of me U couldn't live your life Thank You 4 making me feel guilty She left, u took care of me, U asked if u could remarry, i didn't want 2 loose u There is no replacing her, ever, i was young then and older now So it is my fault that u didn't live ur life Ur wife will always b one, her and only her. It is always my fault isn't it? when things don't go ur way, I get the blame. WHY R U TORTURING ME? Maybe it is my fault? Save me, somebody, please. from all this chaos and misery. Key The Key enters the hole A soul entering another soul Turn it to the right And you will see the night Turn it to the left UR up for theft Twist and your life will begin It is only you who says when Games Why today, i don't know but this game of trying 2 be nice and friendly all of a sudden seems strange to me. Since when do u have any nerve or audacity to say all you say in front of your lover. Personality I now have a personality ? Cause I sang in front of all Before that what did you think of me? That I was boring, have no opinion have no dreams, was I just a physical thing. Not a hint of a person, not a hint of life, nor a hint of a mind, that is working to fight. Save Me Please save my soul I need u 2 Please save my creations I need u 2 U r the only one who knows me, in and out 4 that , I need u 2 hear me shout I have no other way out many entrances, no other exit, This is so hard being in a place behind invisible bars There r there but they cannot c them I am the only one who sees I am the only one who has committed a crime Going against my authority figures Will be tough, I don't think I can Please man save me, let you save me whole. Your eyes Ur eyes staring in2 mine with intensity and passion I will never 4get the love yours is mine Almond eyes, brown eyes The glimpse of hope 4 me in ur eyes shinin' Are u trying 2 tell me something, 2 free me? Everytime I look at u, looking back at me I c endless positivity, love, life and creativity. Used 2 I used to write like others Now I write like me Behold all I now write What my eyes see. Scared I’m scared of all life has to offer I’m scared of getting the answer I’m scared of having my heart broken again Scared of life after death Scared of losing it Scared of seeing my mother after so long Want someone to be here Want someone to care Want someone to hold me Want someone to tell me that they’ll be there Want someone to kiss Want someone to honestly give a sh*!. Is this wrong of me? Lonesome Saline falling down her face As if she were in the ocean Hitting her cheek as she mourns Telling herself to stop as the memories keep pouring out Ballin in the dark Being lonesome is her life’s catch Canvas Black canvas Blank piece of paper We all need inspiration To maintain the creative skyscraper Flood Flood of emotions rushing to my head Should I laugh or cry? Should I be happy or sad? I think I will just run to my bed and cry instead Master Are you my master? Why do I need 2 tell u all that I do? Let the air out of the balloon you will go faster. Does telling you all feel you up with pride. Is that cool? I come 2 u for guidance not pain If I tell you nothing the pain will go away. In my subconscious I know, i think u care. I like my secrets as I've said before Through and through is the 24kt gold door. Secrecy is what I like U can say it's part of my job To tell no one, say nothing Not even to try to turn the knob. Angel Come to me my angel Come to me my love In desperation of being unwanted I am now a white dove. What If What if I had taken a different road, where would I be? What if I had taken a different path, what would I see? If I changed the route that I had took, would I be here? Would I be in the present days, where music is my life. Or in a lab, with a doc's coat, riding a car this day. Have I thrown all my life away, because I am concentrating on you? Do I go back, leave and love you? Serenity Coming down to the level of a dog, just above the sea Leaning back of bricks of cement: a studio behind me, vacant green grass to the side, in front of me boardwalk and the calm green blue water that sometimes sounds like it’s crying As I write this cool winds brush up against my face, suddenly continuous crying is what I hear but I can’t see. Leaves, banners flapping in the wind, the crying continues in rapid succession, Where is it coming from I wonder Wind gets stronger, concrete is cold, adore it. Hi Strong winds, nice to meet you: lift me off the ground and carry me away. Half of me is in the shade, the other in the sun sitting in-between two worlds Which one is right for me?... The Color Turquoise to the North-East/East when I look up at the sky above the houses rooftops. At eye level to the side of me is more color, fuscia and lavender to be exact all surrounded by greenery. I could stay here by the water forever, all of today I think I’ve found my new hiding/loving/relaxing spot Little birdie comes over so close I can see her furry coat, looks me straight in the eye and says her goodbyes * 3 lines have been left out Torture Turn it on, turn the knob It falls down quick with rapid speed Why do I use it even though it’s warm outside To me it’s my form of torture? Torturing my skin, torturing my soul Torturing myself for staying in the negative place I’m in. In the end comes my skin, ticklish and red It is only when I turn the other knob that the calm sets in Secrets So far, the only one who knows all is you I love you because my secrets will remain in between the pages of your mind. Nightmare Awake from a nightmare Light pink sky outside What’s your number he says 38 area code? 212 she says 938 he corrects He tries to kill her Running through her tiny apt 1st night alone What happens… Death Was told she lives in a great neighborhood with lovely people to look after her. What happens? Scary, Frightening never seen before Things that you only see in a movie Chopping up a salad, she wanted to speak Then she put the knife to me. Ran into the bathroom, locked the door, Thought she wanted to kill me for sure. Either way don't we still hold, feel and touch our scars, a reminder that we visualize, we hear we speak and we smell? Those that abuse should go to hell or get help? I will be the best person I can be You will never be in my memory Years, days of not trusting me I promise my life will be content without you It will be filled with value and worth Looking forward to the future? Can’t wait to escape the cell Wanting it to be a constant blackout Do not want to shed more than 2 tears In fear of losing my concentration Never did like receiving laudation Suicide Thinking about committing suicide The pain hurts so much, I can’t stand it Depression makes me want to just go for it Not a care in the world Getting home one day, I’m home alone The kitchen I see, open the drawer Suddenly in my hand is a knife Taking it and almost slicing my wrist WOW, it’s a rush of blood to the head Feels great, Sense of calm appears, it feels right Doing that for days afterwards I’ve found my release….Finally Thoughts Windows, Mirrors, Water Reflections Mindows, Wirrors, Mater Will I ever be good enough? Be strong When you love you never forget Was it that hard to love me I am never doing that again It is only when my freedom is taken away that I am alone I will never live alone A change can only come from me Complex and complex don't mix, they repel like 2 positive ends of a magnet Blackmail is mental abuse. I have to tell the truth What am I afraid of, you ask. Not to see color, religion, ethnicity Means you are a citizen of the world | |
