Closer To My Dreams .


You have to look deep inside of me to understand my true beauty .
God is not finished w| me yet .
Ordinary girl that resides in a stereotypical world .
My Past is in Philadelphia & my future is in Long Beach .
Dumb enough to fall , Smart enough to climb back up .
Addicted to Love . Never had it pure . Now afriad to lose it .
God is my bestfriend .
I always talk to myself , who else can I trust .
This is MY story , I dont expect YOU to understand .



YOU SAY U WANT ME
BUT CAN U HANDLE ME MIND WISE
NO NOT SEXUALLY, I’M TALKING MENTALLY
NOT WHATS BETWEEN MY THIGHS
U GOTTA STROKE MY MIND UNTIL I’M READY TO COMBUST
KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRESENT, PAST, FUTURE, AND RELATIONSHIP TRUST
DON’T COME AT ME WITH TRYING TO GET A PIECE OF ME
SHOW ME WHAT U HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
HOW ABOUT A DEGREE
FREAK MY MIND WITH AN EQUATION
A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM
ALL THE WORLD ISSUES FROM GENOCIDES TO THE IRAQI WAR
HELP THE WORLD SOLVE THEM
SPEAK YOUR OPINION ON DIABETES AND CANCER
THAT WILL GIVE ME CHILLS UP MY SPINE
TELL ME WHAT OBAMA HAD TO SAY IN HIS SPEECH
TELL AFRICAN AMERICANS AND OTHERS
ITS OUR TIME TO SHINE
CARESS MY BRAIN WITH WHY OUR ECONOMY IS BECOMING WORSE
THE DOLLAR DON’T COMPARE TO THE EURO
EMPHASIZE THAT WITH REMORSE
TOUCH ME WITH THE WORDS OR CODES
OUR ANCESTORS USED WHILE THEY WERE IN SLAVERY
BEATEN, HUNG, STARVED BUT OVERCOME IT ALL WITH BRAVERY
STICK YOUR TOOL OF SORROW INTO ME
AND TELL ME ABOUT THE JEWS
FROM THE HOLOCAUST TO CONCENTRATION CAMP
LEFT MANY BRUISED
PEOPLE IN AFRICA ENSLAVING DIFFERENT TRIBES
LEAVING MILLIONS DEAD
TOO MANY WARS FOUGHT
SO MUCH MORE BLOOD SHED
IN THE MEANTIME BEFORE U APPROACH ME
COME WITH SUM INTELLECT
BECAUSE TO GET INSIDE ME
YOU HAVE TO STROKE ME MENTALLY
AND HAVE SUM RESPECT

I tell myself this over & over . I can’t allow my past to control my present because then I am not living my life . I cannot dwell over things I cannot change & all those “could’ves would’ves & should’ves” is only going to cause headaches because I’m thinking too much . I need to start focusing on what is currently happening so I can get the full potential outta life . The past can’t re-live itself again & the future will come on its own . The only thing I can control is now & how ima live today to make tomorrow better .
