Optimism Raped

Just when my dreams start to become so vivid

I become mad at the world and get infected with the livid

So sick of these lukewarm fuckers, so cold and frigid

They call me arrogant well that rejection did it

Try to fix it everyday by burying the hate In me                                                                                                                                                                                        I'm with angels in the morning,at night demons wait for me

Taking my mind places I really don’t want to be

My dreams cry out why is pessimism keep on raping me?

Draining my spirit, sometimes joy be escaping me

Why am I mad when I should feel blessed?

Why not be glad that I inhale these breaths?

Because years of being brushed off in me has crept

Seems like my relationships always meet the angel of death

In me these feelings I kept, lord help me find the root and the source

Messages bottled up  can become a Trojan horse to women's  shores

In my heaven you’ll find wars, because hell just can’t stand it

I’ve become a poetic whore because of  you  hos that left me stranded

I handed you everything, guess it meant nothing

Some of yall couldn’t even wait a month for some other fuckin

Some of yall just always had an ace in a hole for lovin

That conception wasn’t to far from my bustin

Disgusting to think a child’s father is a pick out of a hat

Looks like in the same months more than I stayed up in that

You can fall back you’ve been evicted from my brain

You have been discharged and you’re definitely a stain

I got to sit around and see my mother treated like shit

By  a ungrateful bitch, one of those niggas who never had shit

Came up a lil bit and now he think he the shit

We put clothes on these dude when they met, How soon they forget

Why my mother always want to build up these

Broke down motherfuckers? macho prideful suckers

With a good virtuous woman they lucked up

Because they would kiss your feet, if they had to deal with my generation

Transport me back to your time, lord I’ve been forsaken

Wasting my time and lord Ma you’re wasting yours

With that nasty bastard, your communications a disaster

I just want better days to come faster, drop this dead weight

Mines the past, yours hubby, God will put this straight

I wish I didn’t have to write so profane, but I’m a slave to my name

Author of anguish I’m a reluctant Poet of Pain

I try to hide my anger; I try to tell myself it’s alright

I hope your new  men  hold all you bitches tight at the expense of my lonely nights

I’m just a writer with some provocative writes

They are the lighters I’m the gasoline that ignites

Here are my woes on the cross; I’ll be your sacrifice

I’ll be poetry’s Christ

This talent has been a price; realness can have you not liked

Darkness sometimes sneaks in my room and molests my light

So I have to fight, because I hate writing like this

The optimist kiss can turn into a pessimist’s tryst

My rhyme book is like crimson colored wrists

Who else you know can make love to you with curses?

Who else you know can fuck you with these gifts?



Hope can escape



Despair just waits







Soul ties ache







Gotta close the hole







That Gapes…
