100 Day Story: Day 00008

She awoke languidly
She heard that word somewhere before
She thought it fit her mood
Comfortably nude
Next to her
He was in a deep slumber
Light snore
She won’t wake him this time
That would be rude
Especially after last night
Well
It started yesterday evening
Maybe it was the quality of the food
Or the way he spoke
Or his eyes
Maybe the way he dressed
Or what he said
Most of it jests
Jokes
To keep her laughing
Or maybe it was his last words at the table
Maybe they said it best
“You’ll never have to worry.
There are no others.
Rest assured
I know your value
Your worth.
I know that I am blessed.
I know in the past small things grew
And split us apart
But this is now
Maturity
That was then
Youth.”
Remembering that part of the evening
She smiled
Looking down… Continue reading

100 Day Story: Day 00007

She awoke early
He was usually the one
To do the early mornings
And late nights
But the last had been
An especially late night
Spent comforting her
Taking steps forward
Even if things
Weren’t fully made right
Besides
Her mother was coming early
And they
Meaning
He and her mother
Weren’t on the best of terms
Always only
Exchanging the best of words
Which was
Better than her father
Because actions were so cold
Not even acting
Would allow them
To exchange the best of verbs
So they had been
For a while now
Exchanging
The less of words
And some days
She couldn’t see
The point it served
With this knowledge
Letting him rest
Seemed like the path
Best observed
She let those thoughts go
Let them rest again
Looking forward to the short time freed
The things that might happen
What it meant
Etcetera
The rest and … Continue reading

A Simple Story About a Man, a Rocket and Going to the Moon

There was once a man who wanted to build a rocket and travel to the moon. He was ridiculed for the idea because he was neither a rocket scientist nor did he have the funds to build a rocket. The man, understanding the truth in the ridicule tried to engage rocket scientists and investors alike but they too balked at the idea and showed something even worst; disinterest. Seeing there was no way around it the man decided he had to get his PhD.

After achieving that first goal the man realised he still lacked funding and now owed a debt for his years of educational pursuit. So, he proceeded to try every way he knew how to raise the “money” he needed. When asked what he was doing the man always responded by saying, “Nothing important.” Remembering the ridicule of previous years he thought it best to continue his … Continue reading

Opinions

Everyone has an opinion or perspective. Through my life I’ve been judged by the clothes I wear, the way I show affection even by the way I express myself. Either my clothes were too nice for the occasion or not nice enough. Either they were cheap or too expensive. Either I was showing off or I was dressing like a bum. I’ve heard that the way I show affection or even simple emotion is too brash or it’s too much. On the other hand I’ve heard that it’s not enough or it needs more emphasis because it’s too subtle. I’ve had people be offended by the way I express myself. They say it’s too crude or it’s too rigid during confrontations. Then I’ve had people say it’s too soft and leans too much towards leniency in situations of conflict.

There will always be something missing from someone or a group … Continue reading

So Lost

It’s crazy how you’re so lost
Dying from the outside in
Self absorbed nymphomaniac
Who thinks she’s a woman

It’s crazy how you’re so lost
Thinking you know so much
‘Cause you have a little vision
Black girl
Wannabe white girl
Searching for herself in everyone

It’s crazy how you’re so lost
Who are you looking at
Lying on your back
Do you think he actually cares
Your pussy doesn’t matter
In the grand scheme of things

It’s crazy how you’re so lost
Talking about being empowered
Your leg spread across the map
I was like you but then I grew
Built myself and changed

It’s crazy how you’re so lost
Saying I’m not normal or black
When I use my brain
Not my ass
To gain success and assets

It’s crazy that you can’t see you’re lost
So
Tell me how smart can you be
If all you understand … Continue reading
