Regret: Part 1

Have you ever wished for something?
It happened, and than you regretted your decision?
It happened to me
Do you kiss and tell?
I kissed, and that was it
I told, but the wrong person
I wish I had asked the question girls are supposed to ask
"What next?"
But that would either scare him off
Or make me see just how foolish I was to have done what I did
I so wish I could reverse a few steps
Not the kiss, that was nice
I wish I had been stronger and asked, "is this just a casual thing, or you want more?
Not my body more, but to get to know me
To enjoy my company
I just need to know
Should I regret last night?
I don't want to
I really do not want to
I enjoyed the company, the time spent getting to know him
We both knew what would happen with me going over
It was bound to happen
I am not like other girls, but I do have a right to ask
Just be man enough to answer, and be honest
Am I just a fling, or do you have other plans?

Bored

Do you write when your bored?
Have you ever written something so ridiculous you actually thought you were dropped on your head?
You just feel like writing down nonsense because it makes you feel you are doing something important?
It's funny, I write more on stuff that actually happened than on stuff that is fantasy
It doesn't mean I don't have an imagination
It just means right now I'd rather be useful, than useless

Choices

I make a choice to look at you
Hoping you sense my vibes and look at me
You make a choice to smile at me
After you get the hint that I am into you
I make a choice to walk to you, not knowing if you will walk away
But hoping you will stay, please don't leave
I never beg, but this time it's different
This time, I'm different
I hope you see that

If I admitted that I was in love with you
Would that make me a fool?
The thing is, I actually liked you,
But now I wish that things had turned out differently.
We kept getting to know each other
I started to fall for you
And I asked you how you felt, but some how, things were not adding up
Every conversation was about you, and what you wanted me to do
I told you what I looked for, but you had other plans
You did not seem very open minded about a lot of things
You know what I mean,
Me not having guys friends because of your past issues
Do not make me suffer for mistakes your ex's made
You don't want to go that far with me
I'd make you suffer, yes I would, because I deserve to be treated right
Yet you did not seem to get the hint
It's been a year
You often cross my mind, and I wonder what if
But I am glad that the what if never happened
I would have been foolish to let you get what you want
Being foolish meant losing my soul
And only one person deserves my heart, but it isn't you

Boy why you gotta be so fine
I wish one day I could make you mine
How you smile, how you grin
How you walk, damn what a sin
To walk with swag, doing your thing
To carry yourself, beauty is within
I know I said I wouldn't give you my time
But brother, it is not my fault you look so divine
Let it just be a fling, I don't want a commitment
Yes I said it, now lets get down to business

Past Memories/New Beginnings

Welcome to my new blog!!!!!!!!!!!!

How I got into poetry?

I discovered this poetry group called Word Iz Bond, and I found out about poetry night which was held at Gingers Tavern once a month. Speak has been going on for ten years, and I have been going since 2007. June was the first month I went to Speak. I was in absolute awe. The poets were amazing, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it made me feel like I belonged. I understood what some people were saying, and I was able to connect with some of the poets. I met with them, and they took me under their wing. Six months later, for the first time I hit the stage and shared, with strangers, my first poem. I had written years before, but at Christmas time, I decided to get up, in front of strangers, and share what I had written. Of course I was terrified and thought, "What if I get booed off the stage?" At the end, I got an applause, and the team that encouraged me to go up was so proud of me. I spent everyday writing, and hearing other's speak, I used to Youtube Def Jam Poetry and just listen to people speak on important issues, funny issues, and I told my self, one day I will be on that stage.

Well, four years later I still attend Speak when I can, I share when I can, my work has gotten better, the group of people I met four years ago are still supporting me, and regardless of what I write, how I present, and what the reaction of the audience is, I know that I am a good poet, and I plan to be a better poet.

I hope through this blog to share with you how I feel, to do some freestyle, some organized poems, and I hope I encourage you to Speak as I have learned how to. I am still a long ways from where I want to be, but I am not giving up, and I hope you will continue to support me on my poetic journey.

Until next time
