X:
My Spoken Word
I am more than the suit that I wear
Ethnic person with curly hair
Living in a world that has two views
You better get that person; do them
before they do you
Play by the book or break all the
rules
Play by the smarts or play the damn
fool
Buy or steal, cheat or love
Damn, everything falls under all the
above
But, really if were above it
Then why do we continue to fall
Where falling can hurt and lies can
cut
The world as we know it, is one huge
rut
Where dollar teas have no lemon
Where fries have the fresh taste
The fresh taste, something like a
little Debbie cake
However, I do not want your sweet lies
Take back your sweet potato pie, your
chinky eyes
Which we both have, show a glimpse
into the future, sometimes the past
I just laugh, because I am hungry,
however not for you
I am hungry for embrace, a new rising
and a new day
Where the moon kisses the sun and the
rain goes on vacation
A tropical paradise, a new destination
Where the birds speak words and the
lions dance
I’m finally back from my X-trance
Where I take my mind to new heights
No one can understand my hype or maybe
you do, which is cool
If you do not, I pity the fool
Because really you should, the future
is me
At least that is how I feel; you do
not have to believe it
However, to me it is so very real
As real as the wind, as real as the
sea
Roaming mountains, Brides and Grooms
to be
However, not yet because everything
has not been written
Yet all has been spoken in words not
known
Life not witnessed
Children not yet grown
However, sometimes I just groan
because I cannot say enough
I just make a huff and puff out my
SPOKEN WORD.

The
Dedication
When I look back, life has not easy
and that is a fact
I have had good friends; I have had
those that were bad
I had people in my life that did
nothing but make me sad
I have been up and I have been down
Always have kept my head up and never
a frown
Now, I find that life is changing and
some do not have good wishes for me
That is cool though, because I stay
doing my own thing
My success will not stop and you will
stay the same
There is a word for that today; I
think it is called Lame
A lame chick and a dumb dude, full of
talk that is somewhat rude
However, I do not talk I let my
actions speak
I have my ancestor’s blood in me I
could never be weak
For the good in my life, I thank you
for that
Cannot put a price on friendship and that
is a fact
Life is just crazy and sometimes I
take things too serious
However, I know I am not crazy or
delirious
I just sit back and watch how people
do and how they are
Not realizing everyone can be a star
You have got to reach and reach high
I believe and know I can fly
However, in the meantime I have to say
goodbye
To those who hold me down and do not
wish me well
That is life and I refuse to fail
However, this is not meant to be bad,
it is all about the good
Each day I grow, I see the change and
feel it deep inside
Better then what a doctor could
prescribe
I cannot ask for anything better and I
will not
Everything in life cannot be a do not,
it has to be a can
That is how I feel and hope you will
not appeal
Because this word is legal and binding
Like a post-funeral meeting and read
will
Let love flow, I just had to keep it
REAL.

Through
It All
The more time spent, the harder I fall
The more text sent, I feel a closer
draw
Though contact, it feels like it is in
the air
However, I do not know if I can accept
the dare
Life is funny and we all play a part
However, I do not know if I should
make the first start
I have no direct answer and can only
guess
I really do not know if this is best
I am not wrapped up in the thought
Love is gained and can’t be bought
I just need to know, I can feel the
attraction
Together we could start a chain
reaction
However, I am going to sit back and
review the notes
Because sometimes you never know
Nevertheless, THROUGH IT ALL, I am
still a part of this crazy show.

The
Wind Blowing Friend
What is a wind-blowing friend?
We have all had them
Those that are there, but do not stay
until the end
They try to defend actions and then
turn around and do it all again
They change like the breeze and you
have no jacket
They are missing something, they
cannot help that they lack it
Because a wind blowing friend, is the
one you give the head nod
Keep it moving, because you are a
straight fraud
Wind blows in all seasons
They are lurking and searching
It almost seems like they are
determined
To mess in your life and not be real
Not everybody says it, but that is how
I feel
Do not be cool with me because you
just want to try to know me
Do not be a fake home girl or a fake
homie
Be what you have been because I cannot
have any expectation
If you do not show me anything, you
will see the relation
However, I am glad for the people they
know who they are
No matter how much time spent and how
far
Those who failed, I knew you would in
the end
The people along the way that still want
to know me
The ones I walked away from you will
never get to know me
The wind can be cold in this gift
called Life
So, wear your jacket and bundle up
tight
Because in the end what is crazy about
the wind blowing friend
They end up teaching you the best
lessons about life in the end.
