Dancing Solo

You were this other person
and I was this other me.
We both heard the sound
of a different drummer,
and danced away separately.

SO LONG A LETTER

After a great or tedious teenage hood
Exists an amazing or annoying adulthood
Then a marvellous or messy motherhood
Fatherhood Or whatever hood

I had the first fast two
Then to the aisle to say I do
Cheers from many among my crew
As everything suddenly turned new

Many months later
I received so long a letter
Asking what is good or better
And when I'm going to become a mother

Pressure upon pressure
Prayers without measure
Making out without pleasure
Disappointment without seizure

As they won't let me be
Pain lavishly lived with me
With mockery, assorted
Barren, many asserted

Disturbed, I created an angle
Daily, stressfully I sat on my ankle
To commune for a miracle
Little did I know, I too, I'm a miracle

I stopped to further how I bother
Myself to forcefully become a mother
No more bothered, no more anger
I don't have to give birth to be a mother

No matter who wants it, or doesn't want
Childbirth is not what humans warrant
And no daughter of Eve should kill herself
Trying to give a man what he cannot give himself

Poetry is not just word play

It is inspiration to keep on fighting
Encouragement to keep on believing
Hope to keep on going
Zeal to keep on writing
It is the outcry of the oppressed
The voice of the unheard
The uplifting of the uncelebrated
The stronghold of the discouraged

It feeds the inner man and clothes the soul
In this world of the fair and the foul
It dares not throw the towel
Touching yet another soul

You may call it word sculpture
Deduce from it a new culture
Earn from it a new stature
Now learn its true nurture

Its POETRY not just word play!
Real work that will always pay
Whose produce knows no decay
Words that will in the hearts stay.

WOMAN

This is her narrative,
Sketching comparative analysis
That cannot be defined by the architect of her hips or backside
These words a microscope into her body smile and mind
Aligned with the testament of time
That by breath, dust and rib- from Adam
A masterpiece unfathomable was fashioned and formed
Beyond conventional norms of society’s
Stating-
All they were destined to be
Are
Child bearers,
Victims,
Punching bags,
Secretaries,
All things derogatory,
Burden carriers,
Wives
And a mere shadows of the xy chromosome.
I said a lineage of greatness is born
Women who have stood on the front lines of battlefields
Yielded their present for the future of others,
Mothers of inspiration, civil rights movements,
Preachers, prophetesses, goddesses, and nothing less
Than bravery,
Affectionate and gifted hands
Unafraid to be transparent in lifting up their vulnerability
To be seen, to be heard,
To be living monuments in historical chapters
As their resilience and virtue
Combine to project a relentless spirit and boldness
Confined in the stride of her walk
Her talk oozes proverbs
The universe is but a herd
Flocking to her breasts
To suckle the milk that strengthens
Young ones
Ones,
Become two,
To become mass pedigrees of masterpieces unsold
More precious than Gold
Woman-
You ought to be told that you are indescribable and ridiculously exquisite
This pen visits the passages and corridors
Of your silent pain and wars
To find you
Undefeated
Unscarred
And
Victorious
Let your notorious cellulite map out the geography to a sight called
Flawless
Your fat will be the pillow of consolation
That more women may embrace their imperfections that are but perfections
In the eyes of “loving yourself regardless’
Your bones are the rock where men will be grounded
Your dreams founded and accomplished
And your skeleton relished
In the undisputable truth that YOU
WOMAN
Are Phenomenal

I made a promise



The deepest the darkness I witnessed the bottoms of dark pits where I couldn't find or feel my feet
No sights no feelings no emotions just dead and forgotten
Moulding and rotting
Stinking stenching and smelling
Unbathed step children of an inherited system
Products of an ailing system
Profiled as the problem
The young men and women have a hunger with no satiety
Various characters and in the same scene of life's movie
We all acting like we achieving believing in unseen things that they preach have the best of the humans at heart
I don't get or understand it but I'm sure religion is common so there has to be some truth to it
Apparently demons are scary and I'm really not a fan of extreme heat
So I'll navigate away from hell
Buy a new Bible and become the thirteenth deciple
Rapping on the steps of the tabernacle
Making the Bible sound simple to the iPhone user and abuser

Title: The Misfit
Author: Doc Freezy

These feet have cracks in their soles
My shoes have holes in their soles
I've got gunshot wounds in my chest
You can see through to my core
I've got pain yes I'm sore
I'm young yes but my soul is aged and old
Bare back my clothes torn
Black face a heart of gold
My future foretold by the wise and the bald
Struggling now for blessings triple fold
I knew I had to work on it
Though the talent was shunned
Banned beyond my parents minds
What is poetry
Just a bunch of words written by mystery
History meets philosophy and reaches Heights of astronomy
I knew the language was my salvation but they saw an anomaly
A nomad walking the walk never prepared to settle
The best was kept a secret
The struggle was in their faces
Paces on pages and speeches on stages
Wish they had keys to these cages and let me out
I'm from a small place in the south
It's only a few that understand what we are about
Living in poverty in the land of plenty
Breathing in smoke because oxygen became too common
Perplexed and vexed by life transformation into a test
Pass or fail live or die
The lies are their truths
Depends whose book you are reading
The left is right depending on where you are standing
Stranded and lost I felt the frost bite my finger tips
Couldn't grip so I let it all go and took my own path
Pathetic they told me I wasn't a part of the engine
Malfunctional I was an impractical addition to the system
But i had determination
I had to name my son Nation
Shocking it should be that the world's reject has children
So I'm guessing even the habitual sinner is forgiven
My heart has been frozen like an organ for donation
My blood has been repeatedly tested screened like for donation
But still I crawl on all fours to my silver lining
Blinding I'm finding the cost of spects unbearable
Unmentioned in the books I have to make my mark as a lyrical crook
Captain of a pirate ship without a hook
This is not a song so I need no chorus
I'm just a dark skinny dude with thoughts crude
Refine me for profit
But I'm comfortable where I don't fit

​REMEDY FOR STRESS: HAPPINESS​

" ​Happiness is not a station you arrive at, no! its a manner travelling​ "
Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. If you love yourself it will be easy for other people to love you too because you have already proven to be lovable by loving yourself first. For one to accomplish all that you have to believe in yourself. Believe that you are God's best, beautiful and set apart.

Everything starts with you; how you choose to see yourself, people and things around you. If you decide to be happy today you will be because its a matter of choice. Remember, happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think. What you focus on grows and what you neglect dies. ​Focus​ on being the ​best and happy​ version of yourself.

Someone stepped up to me
Mentioned creation
Here I was as me
Meditating
Marinating like frozen chicken taking in
Soaking in
Seasoning
Salt and other flavors
What is creating
We'll basically making
Like cake baking
Sorry im a dessert addict
Why though??? 🤷🏾‍♂
Arrogance
Why create them so they just worship you
Only you
Ahyaz it don't mean sence
Creative creation of a means of division
Why currency
Why do we all love money
Why is the love of it the root of evil
Why did you even create the DEVIL
You know everything so u knew the snake would go left
But u let it happen anyway
U knew eve would mess up Adam and that tree...
You put that tree there
Is life just a trap
Gave bill a couple of billions
And in this life im watching movies
The Minions
These are your decisions
No application letter
Let me live
And don't ever allow these people to judge me now
Judge me yourself
Dear God
