Bittersweet Smile

Pinks
My newfound smile is bittersweet….The night is starry and the sky is darkAnd all I can do is stare into the unknown….I’ve never been one to get trapped by fairytalesNor have I been one to get sucked into the notion of soul mates…..I have come to completely ignore the goosebumps that I get whenever I see youI swat at the butterflies that appear in my stomach whenever I hear your voiceI always ignore when you read my emotions and my voice like you’re reading from a book that you have written with your own handsI can’t get sucked inI won’t get sucked in I can feel the air like a ghost across my skinAnd if I close my eyes I can hear the insects and the animals that roam the…

  Relationships: One to ManyWhat About your friendsGrowing up my mom used to remind me that one is a reflection of the people they associate themselves with. Not saying that you can't be different or not participate in similar acts, but to others outside your circle, the worst actions are presumed for everyone.For instance, if one of your friends is hoe, and others are aware of her friendly acts, people assume that everyone in your circle is a hoe too. People take things at face value instead of finding what's really going on.  A friendship is just like any relationship: it requires communication, time, empathy, and sacrifice. It is a two way street; give and take. Me and my friends love each other like sisters and we care about each…

Moving On

Pinks
If I let myself remember the good times, I would surely crumbleIf I allow myself to remember how good you could make me feel, you would find me at your feetYou’re not good for me….I know that better than I know my own name…So why does it still hurt when we argue?Why do you still have this way of getting under my skin better than anyone else?What have you done to me?I was here when you weren’tI tried when you didn’tI sacrificed when you refusedAnd even now, all my efforts are spit back in my faceI used to be strong…..But you took my soulI used to be happy…….But you took my smileAnd now as I try to regain some semblance of a life, you refuse to let me have itI’ve…

Outlook From Within

Pinks
When I think about the many things that God has done for me in my life a smile comes over my face. To think that someone can care so much for you and stand by you, when no one else is around brings me joy. So why then do we not take the time to fully glorify God? I’m not talking about just reading the Bible or getting daily scriptures sent to your phone from various apps. I’m talking about really glorifying him and lifting up his name for all that he has done for us.Women are supposed to be strong individuals who “hold” everything around them down. So much pressure is put on a woman because we constantly have to prove ourselves. It is easy then, for women to…

Content

I released the breath of relief that has been lying dormant in my lungs my entire lifeI am contentFinally….There are spare moments throughout my day where I don’t think about anythingDon’t worry about anythingAnd I don’t stress about anythingI can close my eyes and just existThis is my happiness..It’s taken long enough…I’m not as naïve, however, to discount the fact that this came to be the moment you entered my lifeIt’s not easy….We’re not easy….But loving you is as easy as breathingAnd everything else will take care of itselfI put a lot of stock in intuitionBut I am also careful to back up my instincts with realities gathered from direct experiencesWe are soul matesThrough and throughMy proof lies in our conversationsIn our quiet momentsIn the moments where we can completely…

Relationships: One to ManyBoundaries                So with all my relationship experience one thing I do know is MEN HAVE ISSUES WITH CREATING BOUNDARIES.  When an “ex” is no longer in the picture, she/he needs to know their place. Ex means; old, no longer, left out, TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. So with that being said, an en ex should not be included in the present relevant picture. Honesty is the best policy in these instances because sometimes the “other” person does not know they are over stepping their boundaries. In every relationship communication is key. For example, my friend’s boyfriend is in a picture with another girl that is a “friend”. This “friend” likes my friend’s boyfriend. So my friend has asked him about the picture, you know like when was this picture taken,…

Unrequited

I’m done with the gamesThe lies and the miscommunication and the secrets that I’m not toldWe were suppose to be differentWe were suppose to be above the normBut yet you still carry on behind my back as if I’m that naïveI know about the textsThe calls that end with “I Love You Too”,When I’m not the one on the receiving end of that callHow is it possible that you can still look at me with love in your eyes?….when you love someone elseHow is it you can still tell me I mean something to you?…..when I’m not the only one who doesMaybe I missed something?A big sign that was suppose to warn me about thisI felt something was wrongLike something was going on behind my backBut I believed your words…

Relationships: One to Many A Packaged Deal          A package is usual a box or container that holds one or more things, whether it be clothing, household goods, or even a parent and their child(children). So this is for all my SINGLE MOTHERS; not baby mamas; but the ones that are keeping their children first. When I say first, I mean, who don’t put men before them, don’t stay out late on school nights because you have to get up to make sure they get to school on time, not  looking for a sugar daddy or support system, the mothers that realize that once they had children they have to set aside childish ways, a GOOD mother. This is for the young and old alike because there are some women that feel…

Him

His strong arms around meHis scent encompasses meHis hands caress meand his lips . . . His lips touch my cheek            taste my lips            tickle my neck            and explore my bodyI wish he was here beside me    holding me close    looking deep into my eyes    running his fingers through my hair    as I dig my fingers in his backPlayful rough housing that ends in sweet euphoria He releases my endorphins    enjoyably sweet like chocolate    all I can do is smileSmile and wish that this visit would never end . . .

Inspiration to Fathers

Pinks
Men are the epitome of strength and maturity. But some of the young mothers of our generation threaten those qualities. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity to know, personally, some of these women who will drag a man through cracks just to prove a point. And let’s just suffice it to say that I don’t associate myself with those women anymore. I’m not saying that all men possess these qualities. But I’m sure you can think of some who do. All it takes is one look to know that he feels defeated and at a loss of what to do. That look, that is the equivalent of a movie. Where you can see everything his mouth can’t say but his heart is screaming to let out. Because he’s underappreciated and treated…
