Def Jam Poetry: Floetry- "Fantasize"

Flipping Tables

It's been months since I've posted anything, and I am SO sorry !  to be honest, lately I've been having a hard time writing because nothing seemed to inspire me. So I put my notebook away for a while. I'm hoping that I can get my groove back and I think I have !

So I was given the opportunity to write/perform a poem for church.  They were having a little talent expo outside and it turned out to be pretty good in all honesty ! 

Flipping Tables

i've always been the type to

break rules and to

challenge authority and to

question the ones who have

done it before me see,

my name is the youth 

and my, behaviour is likely so

with all due respect please,

don't take us lightly.

We are that mob in the street 

disturbing the peace

cause these days the definition of peace

has been misplaced and misshaped 

to translate to complacency 

But trust me, God is a part of our mob 

cause he was the first one to flip over 

tables in the synagogue 

We are that undeniable riot 

throwing slings at goliaths

And our greatest opposition is out silence. 

see we, work when its quiet

We observe.

Our mission isn't to corrupt the church

nah nah,  plenty has been done without our help.

 We are that army around jerico  

marching around waiting for the walls to crumble 

So that we can infiltrate and recreate 

The word God had intended to spread.

We like to do things a little different

But that doesn't mean that its wrong.

Just because the blue bird sings it

don't mean the red bird can't remix its song. 

 For example, to you, 1 plus 1 may equal 2 and thats cool

but  sin45 to the power of 2, times 4 multiplied by 3.14 divided by pie, 

don't ask me how or why, STILL equals the same thing.

Our minds overflow with endless possibilities of outreach

Spreading the word God once preached

So believe me, the last thing i care about is

who in the pews I need to please.

Cause I am not that chick

who gets wrapped up in church politics

God said he who is without blame cast the first stone

But you pick up bricks

Using rumours as whips

And gossip to start conflict

Hate me now but I'm just being honest.

Like God did, I am about to start flipping tables.

And erasing labels and

Showing people the equal grounds God placed us ALL on.

cause I've...

always been the type to

break rules and to

challenge authority and to

question the ones who have

done it before me see,

my name is the youth 

and my, behaviour is likely so

with all due respect please,

don't take us lightly.

Fade Out- New poem.

I got something for you guys :) I wrote this last night at around 1 in the morning. I couldn't sleep and I felt  like trash. Those moments when you feel like you've hit rock bottom. Yeah, it was one of those. But at least this negative turned into a positive picture and I was able to write something down !

Fade out.

It's just a thought but...

Maybe drugs aren't as bad as people perceive

They offer more than what reality gives us

Opening a door to a 5th dimensional world

Where sanity is no longer a prerequisite in order to live a socially acceptable life-

But an option.

Have you ever been in such a dark place in your mind

Wishing that you could just control time, retrace chapters and rewind

Yet life is pausing, playing and fast forwarding you into a state of mind completely 

Unhealthy for an unstable mind- just like mine. See, 

I can understand the use of drugs.

It comes from the belief that there is no God above,

It's meaning derives from a broken heart sick of love

So we puff puff pass our problems to the side

Inhale life, exhale the moments we've died, then breathe it all back into our nostrils

Cause at one point, we all got to go out

So i feel for the people who hide behind the poisonous clouds they blow out of their mouths.

Finding shelter behind the smoke, scared to be exposed

The want to hide and be non existant.

I've been there. 

It's sickening to know what a man would give to disappear.

To be anywhere other than here

Cause the present don't seem like a present

So why keep a gift you don't fucking want?

Fade out.

Fade in...

The belt strap around his arm couldn't be any tighter.

This time he requires no lighters so he

Dedicates the needle to all the people who search for an escape.

When he opens his eyes, it's either he sees hell or pearly gates

No time to waste, rushing through mistakes

He injects a lightning bolt up his arm 

That jolts his entire being.

Eyes rolled back so far that memories are all that he's seeing

In his attempt to electrify all the feelings within him

Who knew that moving ones mind from here would have the pleasantries of an electric chair

So fucking high that he must've high fived Jesus

Who tried to teach us the right way

Somehow he never turned straight

Fade out.

Fade in...

She stares into the mirror unpleased

"I have no one else to blame but me"

Opening bathroom cupboards searching for pills

Purposely trying to get ill

Downing pharmaceuticals cause she never felt beautiful

And hopefully one day she will wake up seen with self esteem.

Or just wake up period.

Why take life so serious if everyday she lives is a joke.

Showering pills down her throat

Not letting any opportunity pass by, that could potentially get her high

A pill for each moment of happiness she has missed

Turning insanity into a beautiful bliss

Without the pain of slitting her wrists- she much prefers this.

Forget hopes and dreams

Life is actually as bad as it seems

The world has never been kind enough to let you succeed so she

Fades out.

Fades in.

Fades out.

Stays out..

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.
