Can We Talk
Can I build up the courage to say hello
Instead of melting when you look at me...
I see you with your ex
& I must confess
that instead of you & her
I see you & me
& when you look me up & down
as I pass by slowly
from the corner of my eye
I see
If I could build up the courage to talk to you
Instead of her hugging you
It would be me

I Hate...
I hate when you smile
because it makes me smile
I hate it when you laugh
because it makes me happy
I hate it when you're hurt
because I begin to cry
I also hate it when you're angry
but I don't know why
When you hold me
I feel secure
& complete
in so many ways
& when I look into your eyes
I never stare
I gaze
You're the closest thing to my heart
So close
you wouldn't believe
your kiss alone holds memories
of a love expected to be

Romeo & Juliet's Queen Mab (my version)
Queen Mab is a diva fairy, & she comes when you're sleep
She's no bigger than a button on a new bape blazer
Forever she rolls 25 deep with a SWAT team behind her
Her ride is a Lamborghini with convertible doors
Sitting on rims that spin
she has gold ronts that spell her name & when she wears a fitted cap
she tilts the brim
Her car is as big as a diamond on the fingers of the rich & famous
She rides every night with a Jay-Z cd blasting
Over the foreheads of politicians
that dream of war & destruction
never peace
Over the heads of rappers that dream of carrying guns like.44's and Desert E's
Over the hands of doctors that dream of dramtic surgeries
as our lives are in their hands
our dreams are in hers
* This was an english homework assignment since we are reading Romeo & Juliet

Good for You
Ariel I got good grades
'Ok then, Good for you'
Ariel, my boyfriends good to me
'Ok then, Good for you'
Ariel, I'm about to graduate
'Alright, Good for you'
'You're doing good in life and school
you brag about the things you do
It'll be funny if you graduate
but can't afford to
so you celebrate
a little late
and you're not included in the graduation rate
and I know you love your boyfriend
but your relationship's real boring
and I hope that he gets you pregnant
then leaves
because you brag about all of these good things
to me
above it all
