a poem
a poem about nothing
but something
because I know better
my creativity in a box
buried deep inside
my everyday responsbilities
I still trust you
with all my heart
I still value your companionship
and solitude and angst
and hope and pain
you still inspire me
to be the real me
not the one
masquerading around
pretending as if
it doesn’t feel like
a dozen knives
stabbing me in...

An Impulse
I haven’t been on here in a little while. I haven’t written anything worthwhile in an even longer amount of time. No poetry. No flighty prose. No tumbling of feelings into something that resembles an introduction to creative writing type assignment. I haven’t really felt like it.
And then tonight something stirred inside of me again. I felt like writing. I didn’t...

Some Ish I Wanted To Write Down...
It’s almost the end of 2011 and this has by far been the hardest year of my existence. I realize that lately a lot of my emotional fluctuation and disappointment has come from expectations I set not being met. I need to realize that in relation to this situation I am not allowed to have any expectations. Just because we see each other doesn’t mean our sensitive and complicated...

There was a time when I cherished “me” time, needing hours alone to decompress, evaluate, and process through the shambles I thought my life had fallen apart into. When you’ve invested so much energy and all of your emotional resources on putting the pieces back together, it’s hard to…

CMC: the saddest thing about Drake being attacked all the time is that's it's usually women. You expect this type of idiocy from men, especially blk men, considering we're taught early on showing/acknowledging emotions makes us soft. But when women join in on the jokes and the "oh he has a vagina" dialogue, it looks a million times worse. Because it encourages this bullshit ass standard of what masculinity is and isn't. And until it's properly addressed, this pathetic lot is going to be the type of men we breed.
DTBW: pretty much exactly what i was thinking. well. i get annoyed with the men too. but i couldnt put my finger on the irony that was grating at me. its the women.

after a dream
empty classrooms that I want to say were the third floor of the cathedral we even spoke about the old window on the fifteenth floor but judging by those intruding men it was more likely holy cross at howard but the women were beautiful and down to smoke so we puffed and passed and enjoyed each others company and it was a fantasy but it was peaceful and appreciative and we ended it in a dance...
