Okay all. If you haven't heard of my girl Keysha Freshh then you are living under a ROCK. She is one of the most real people I've had the pleasure of knowing. Shes a mad cool girl with an ambitious drive that will make a hater stfu quiick. Her rap game is insane. And if you from T.O then you've definitely heard her on FLOW.93.5 with her song Hollywood Fresh. but this link I'm about to give you is some new ish that I like. Self made, T.O proclaimed, Keysha Freshh.
Get with it or get gone.

Inside me Beats

So I've finally taken the time to write something new ! Sorry it's taken me so long.
But here it is. It's funny how a bad day can push words out.


It's that feeling of suffocation, like the air around me is toxic.
Choking on the pollution of confusion cause my thoughts no longer process
I'm losing progress
Keep taking wrong steps
As I drown in my ocean of thoughts
That were once calm waters like Jesus stilled them
Now inside me is a ravaging tsunami like the one in Japan that took lives and killed them,
Innocent children, what's left of my heart goes out to you.
Feeling uneasy
Like a million miles up with nothing beneath me- and I'm scared of heights.
I can feel my heart beat crawling up my neck, trying to escape out my ears
Searching for something better out there
Cause in this body it has lost its meaning
All my heart does is maintain my breathing
Cause to breathe doesn't mean you're alive
Half the world walks, though they've already died.
I keep my heart caged, and kept in a corner
So take it. I've replaced it.
I've become an organ donor. 
Instead, inside me beats the beginning of an earthquake that found its home on a fault line.
Inside me beats the devastation of Haiti
As if my entire being hates me, so it seeks to upset and destroy
As my body fills up with the flood God sent for 40 days to erase the earth,
I cry it out with the curse of a mother who mourns the death of her son.
The worst has just begun.
Inside me beats the last thoughts of a dying passenger on 9/11
Praying for a reverend,
Giving up on life, looking forward to a heaven
But not quite sure that one exists.
Inside me i can feel the slowing heartbeat of a teenager who finds pleasure in the pain
of slitting their  wrists.
Trudging through hell to find  beautiful bliss.
With by standers not knowing that the hug they could have gave them
Would have been that reassurance to save them
Rest in Peace. 
Inside me beats the heart of a young woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders
Wearing a smile that she isn't meaning
Cause inside her beats, a life that is screaming.

New Poem: It Works for Me

This legit too me so long to write because one day I'd write a verse and leave it. next day write a verse. hate the previous one, delete it, etc.
Well now it is finally done. Its not my favourite work but that is were YOU come in :) how the hell can i fix this? :) And what are your initial thoughts? let me know what you all think.
I'm open to criticism but closed to hating :P

It Works For Me

As a woman all the times i've used and been used
Torn and confused, my heart has been bruised
My man didn't love me enough
So he left saying its cause he loved me too much
I guess he was too scared of love

I can't say that we were never meant to be
Or that he wasn't meant for me
It's just somewhere down the road, he messed up our destiny.
So i stopped believing.
Gave my love but i wasn't receiving 
Guess sometimes looks are deceiving
Cause he done looked like the man of my dreams,
The love of my life.
I guess I should've put my glasses on right...

Having crushes on boys I could never have
Only to end up with boys that I should never have
I never felt like I was better than
Cause if the first man didn't want me
The rest must follow the pattern then
Telling God the Father that he should have tried harder
To send someone better my way
Tomorrow ain't promised so I only got today
And i swear I would call all these boys mistakes
Cause if time could rewind, back is all the shit I'd take.
I ain't got that time to waste.
So i say, fuck it.

I tired to write something deep
To be completely honest
My thoughts are as stable as a broken armrest.
Unreliable. I shouldn't trust my mind
Cause if I dwell on my emotions, I'm bound to fall behind.
So with this notion of honesty
Truth is my mind is running relentlessly 
Cause how can one even begin to vocalize
How it feels when your heart begins to die?
So i pretend as if I'm fine
Make y'all laugh just to see a smile
Even if is isn't mine.
Cause what's the use of crying?

It's like
Words can't express and when they try, tears do the speaking
And when they do my eyes stop seeing
Blind. 
Heart turns to stone so my heart stops feeling
All the things that pushed me to love now finds no reason.
Developing that "fuck you mentality"
So far from reality
So far gone
But fuck it, it works for me.

I keep telling myself.
Ali, it works for me.
