These are my
thoughts that I can't abort
In my subconscious
they give birth in my mind they're finalized
I nurture them like
a child no one owns the copyright
They’re my
intellectual property maybe that statement is a fallacy
These are my
thoughts...
Written without any
malicious intent they're food for thought to nurture
The brain
I'm walking down
the street just digging some cool music
A young female
catches my eye I shake my head as she walks on by
Can’t she
see...her behind is too big for that skirt?
Cellulite dancing
left and right her girth casts a shadow over the earth
Why couldn't one of
her friends take her aside make her realize
That that skirt
wasn't made for a woman her size
She just has too
many thighs didn't she look in the mirror
Did she think it
was a magical trick? That a skirt that size
Can’t squeeze
over those big ass hips
These are my
thoughts...
Sitting across from
me as I make my daily trek on the #2 train
Sits a young boy no
more than ten his young face etched with pain
What could make his
world so dark? His young face such a tortured mask
I wanted to ask but
I contemplated in silence
What could I say to
ease his heavy heart?
Would my hallow
words of care and concern be anything he hadn't already
Heard
Would he look at me
as if I was absurd and sink back into his personal
Abyss
Bury his head in
his hands and wonder how it had gotten to this
These are my
thoughts...
We’re a society
of dysfunctional beings so much hurt goes unseen
Not even the
passing of time can heal wounds that go so deep
They torture us
even in our sleep
Not even prayer
keeps them at bay
By the light of day
they still prey on your fragile psyche
Feels like you're
traveling through virtual reality
Too many thoughts
are driving you crazy
Is somebody sexing
your old lady? Is the kid really your baby?
Well...he does have
your personality but if you only knew
Your kid was really
your nephew what would you do
These are my
thoughts...
Does going to
college make U smarter? So my life won't be harder
Will I agile up the
ladder? When I get to the top will the view be what I
Hoped to find?
Did I leave my
childhood friends behind?
Is my mommy finally
proud of me? I didn't embarrass the family
Was I all she hoped
I'd be? I am I happy now finally?
These are my
thoughts....
