Poem: "Grown N Strong"


I feel like going over there to that house and losing my kool.

I have a tool.
I have the heart.

I am not afraid.

But there is common sense.
If I hurt him, I hurt myself.


Truth is, I feel like punching something till there is No fist left.

I could just get up right now and go over to that house.


The phone is dead.
I wish I had his head…

C'mon I'm not crazy. I almost had that fool's baby.

I deserve a phone call. I deserve a ring. I deserve sympathy…See me?

You see me crying?

Finding reasons to fear the worst

The first burst was drained

Then I turned again to gain

And a gain I resented the love, the consequence of saying love

And Calling love's name

He came and he went


I was broke I was spent
I laughed. I drank. I ate


It was good

I was good

I felt great


I feel like going over there right now and losing my muthafreakin kool

I don't even cuss nomo because of that fool

And the "n" word is OUT of my vocab


Man…amazing


I have to step back and look at my self
Wow...
It's a shame how I have changed

Its not like I'm new to this game

But the difference is

This time

I am grown

And even though you are gone, I hold on to the love I still feel

I can't go to that house

Nah, I cant go

Because I respect your choices, I respect your space, I…

I love you

fool,

I love you.
