Loneliness
I feel so aloneDoes anyone hear the rich, the poor?
Can you see the tears as they start to fall?Or does anyone really care at all?
I look at my hands; a tear falls down my faceI know no beauty, no love no grace
My life’s so fast it’s a never ending raceHow long can I keep living at this lonely pace?
I look back on the years and cryI don’t wanna get old and dieI must keep my youth, I sigh
I look in the mirror and say who am I? But who am I you may ask
I can’t answer with such a taskThis day ahead may be my last
I say farewell cruel world this may be my lastBeyond the fields and hills untold As I sit and cry on a lonely road.

Lost Love
I feel the tears of love that’s lostOur broken hearts have a pricey costSeconds pass and now they’re lost
It’s like you and I were never togetherMy bitter tears fall down my face
There used to be love but now there is only spaceI’ll never tell you sweet words again
I never help you when you are in painWe both know we were good together
But now we’re apart so now we have broken heartsWe had love but now it’s past
We need time to heal so that we can love againYou are my lost love and I need to know if I’m right for the part
My lost love
5
The Person I Love
I met someoneWe dated on and off
I really felt a connection with himI began to fall for him
Then I fell in love with himWe aren’t together now
But I wish we wereWe’re friends now
But I still have feelings for himI want to talk but I don’t know how
He is the person I loveWill always love
People say we’re meant to beThis I know so why isn’t my plan a go
I know he loves me so why can’t it be we?The Person I Love
6
To You
Years have gone by and passed us byLike clouds in a clear blue sky
Our love has died and gone awayOur feelings felt but kept at bay
I’ll cry for you every night for I loved you throughout our plightBut the end is near this we knowWe must go our separate ways
We were always lovers, but never friendsWe know that sweet beginnings have bitter ends.
7
Saying “I Love You”
When you say the wordsI Love You
Don’t say it just because they said itWait until you are ready to say it
I Love you mean thatYou will always be there for someone
You will never forsaken themI love you opens doors and pathway to be
Together forever and you know that you belong togetherSaying “I Love You”
Say it when you know you really mean it.
8
Thinking about You
Baby, I don’t like being away fromWhen I’m away from you
I am thinking about you all the timeThe way you make laugh when I’m sad
The way you hold me closeThe way you treat me with respect
The way you show me that you love meThe way you kiss me
The way you can be honest with meBaby, I’m thinking about you right now
Because you know I love you
9
When I’m with you
Baby, when I’m with youI feel the sun rise and warm my face
As your hands hold my waistWhen you whisper in my ear
My body starts to shakeWhen you kiss my neck
My body begins to trembleBaby, when I’m with you
The rain clears and I smile brightBecause you know you make me happy
Baby, I love being with you
10
Our Love
Our love is deeper than deepOur love tops everything we been through
Our love is opening doors for a lot of changeOur love brings us closer together
Our love is a rose when it first opensOur love is the way we show it
Our love is our businessOur love is our love
Our love belongs to us.
11
Falling for You
The moment I saw youI fell in love with you
The moment we kissedI knew I loved you
The time we spend talkingI knew I could trust you
The time you looked me in the eyesI felt that spark for you
The way you make me laughThe way you help me when I cry
The way you make me smileAll the moments we have togetherBaby you know I’m falling for you.
12
Do You Love Me?
Baby, here’s the questionDo you love me?
Really, do you love me? For my mind, heart, and soul
Or just the material things Do you love me for the inside?
Or the outsideDo you love me for my wisdom?Or my kisses that are so sweet
Do you love me because of my heart? Or my pretty brown eyesDo you love the real me
Or the other me on the outsideDo you really love me?
13
Love is in the Air
I look in the sky And I see me and you
Together forever Not just a year or two
Love is in the airBetween me and you
Because you know that I love youLiving in your world
Makes me really understand thatLove is in the air
When we are apartI still feel your presence around me
Because I know that you are watching over me
14
Don’t Care
I walk by myselfAnd I see don’t nobody care
I see people get jumped, killed, or robbedI see people calling the police but doesn’t anybody come
I walk by myself and I see people living in alleysAnd doesn’t anybody care but God.
15
So Sick
So sick of being bossed aroundSo sick of people trying break me down
Never knowing where I’m be in five minutesWith my family or dead in an alley
So sick of seeing the news talking bout murder here, murder thereSo sick of people trying be who they not just showing off for friends
So sick of worrying bout my familyIf I’m gonna see them again
So sick of cryingSo sick
So sick of talkingSo sick of seeing momma’s crying,
Daddies dying, brothers and sisters getting locked upSo sick of nobody caring bout how others feel
So sick of girls being called Bitches and Hoes and other words in the bookSo sick of people not respecting what they
Making or taking sometimesThey breaking souls and bringing back the old time
So sick of not being able to be myselfBecause I don’t know if I’m gonna be accepted
So sick of never being able to concentrate on my lifeBecause I’m worrying bout someone else
So sick of everythingSo sick
So sick of wasting my time trying beNice to people who act like complete A-hole’s
So sick of being in a world where nobody caresBout nothing or nobody just wanna have fun
So sick of the world everydaySo sick of the world in everyday
So sick of this bullshit….
16
Stressing
I’m stressing todayKeep stressing tomorrow
Isn’t any time to get in troubleI don’t get any sleep
And I can’t stay up classI wonder if I’ll ever pass this class
Today, tomorrow, maybe next weekBut this time I cry myself to sleep
I gotta stop stressing because it’s bringing me downIsn’t no way I’m gonna get through life with this on my mind now
Stressing
17
Abandoned
Sitting alone with no food, shelter, or clothesSitting alone wondering if your ever gonna come
Feeling abandoned without a mother, father, not even a grandmotherSurvived off of trash dump
AbandonedLeft to survive on my own
AbandonedWithout a job or a home
Abandoned
18
No Freedom
I can’t take itHaving no freedom is driving me crazy
I know I isn’t no slave but damnI isn’t got any type of freedom
I gotta do everything that they wanna doWhat about what I wanna do
No restJust pain
No freedom
19
This Pain in my Heart
I got this pain in my heartI don’t know what to do about it
I fell in love and he took my heartAnd ran away with it
Can’t love be more than physical?This pain in my heart has got me going crazy
This pain in my heart has me shutting out the worldTo be alone in sorrow
This pain in my heart is taking over my lifeI can’t take it anymoreIt’s driving my crazy
This pain in my heart is not going to control me anymoreI going to get up and begin a new life without you
This pain in my heart is not there anymore

I am From
I’d love to be back in the countryWith fried chicken and collard greens drenched in hot sauce
Where my family and I sit around the table and talk about our day and how they can get better
Yeah it’s true, I’m from Charlotte, North Carolina
When I sit alone, I think about the world goes different ways instead of one way
The world changes its way everyday in everydayThe troubles in the world affect everyoneThe election is a big impact on the world
Cause we don’t know who we want to change the world
My family is from the countryWhere you hang your clothes outside to dry
Where you don’t disrespect anybodyWhere family is your main priority in life
North Carolina is the placeWhere family reunions are always big
Where we leave nobody behind
I love to singI love to dance
I love to actI know I can’t be anyone else
I love to write poems and storiesI love to play the steel pans
Just to hear those wonderful soundsMade in Trinidad and TobagoI love to listen to the music
And be able to sing it loud and proud
I hope someday that the world willSomeday join together in peace and harmony
I hope that the world somedayBring together families of different color,
26
Race and ethnicity without a problem.
My Body
My body is my templeI respect it
I can’t let anybody vandalize itI protect my temple with all my might
I never expose my temple to the worldMy body gives me warmth and happiness
My body is my templeI shall not want to give or share my temple
27
Everything
Everything gotta go this way or that wayEverything isn’t what you want, it’s what they want
Everything has to change this wayEverything isn’t up to you
Everything isn’t up to me eitherWe gotta work togetherEverything has a pointEverything has a leadEverything has a plan
Everything has a reasonWe need to figure it out
Everything is done wrong orEverything is done right
I’m just guessingEverything is just everything
28
A Brand New Day
The start of a brand new dayBegins with a smile
The start of a brand new dayBrings the world up from a frownWhen you go through your dayYou begin to change that smile
It starts to go upside downA brand new day going down
Then you see something you likeAnd you smile without a doubt
It makes you happy to not have to fightThe end of a brand new day
Should end with a smile.
29
Superhero
My Superhero came and saved me from dangerMy Superhero swept me off my feet
My Superhero saw the real meThe me I couldn’t see
My Superhero never gave up on meMy Superhero
30
Best Friends
When you are littleYou have a friend
As you get older you get other friendsGetting to high school
You get friendsIf they stay long enough
They become your best friendsYou hold on to the best
Get rid of the pestYou can make more friends
If you put yourself to the testFriends are here and there
But best friends are always there
31
Death
I had to say Rest in PeaceTo some of my peoples who are deceased
I walk the streets with my head downLiving in a world with no chance now
I’m only one personI only got one mind

I feel for those who have lostTheir lives were such a pricey cost
People don’t meet and greetThey choose to just shoot in the streets
32
Talking to myself in the Mirror
Well see I used to tell you I don’t love you
But I had to realize that I doI had to love you in order
To love everyone elseI had to be proud of who I am
I seem crazy Look at me talking to myself in the mirror
I know, I know Loving myself is the only way To be able to get through lifeWithout that many problems
Now I’m doneTalking to myself in the Mirror
33
