• So I’ve Been Quiet…

    So I’ve been quiet Quiet enough to listen to my flaws, To listen to my doubt, To listen to my hunger, What’s fear? Listen to it rumble throughout the silence, Ever get that heart stopping, Gut punch feeling like, If this is it damn I ain’t do shit, Do you love time enough not to…

    I don’t believe anyone was put on this earth to hurt anyone. I don’t believe God put people in your life with the intentions to hurt you. God is love. This is where I believe free will comes into play. People choose you hurt you. People choose not to love. Your hurt by people choices within…

  • We Tend To Forget.

    Mama never thought she was naming a hashtag, Naming a victim, Naming another cause for the march , She never thought she was naming a headline, Naming a subject of a CNN discussion, Mama never thought she was naming another name to the list, Mama took her time to create, A name to be place…

  • The Message.

    They want you in fear, They kill black men to grab your attention, They take away your fathers and brothers, They find the root of your support system and kill it, They want you to fear giving birth, They destroy the minds of growing black men so they have nothing to offer, They tie your…
