what will break this mold

free me from this world of steal and stone

for I am bound by many tangibles

time and space

flesh and bone

the unknown

so in your mind

something undefined

just how I like it

I reside in the space between the lines

what I am not

is the only way to describe what I am

all that goes unsaid in silence

everything left up to chance

is a dance with destiny

but we move to d

Sumayyah Talibah slipping

slipping

stereotypically
clinging to crooked sanity
not who i often appear to be
cracked and slipping
is the mask i donned
so brief
was the promised peace

if this pain would pass me by

the body
does not reach
the soul
the windows are closed
and the house is flooding
the bridge is being burned

if the night would only come

Kay Smith `the ISLAND`

okay,

picture a thousand ants

now picture those ants living in a shoe box.

one ant can run back and forth in that very box

from one end to the next in so little time.

And now, you have a clear picture of where i live.

a small island......seeming sometimes to be cut

off from the rest of the world but thank GOD for

cable tv and the interweb.

I'm starting to suffocate and i would love to

hop out my box and try

jahluv Calvin and Hobbes

One day many years ago I got into an elevator. Went up a few floors, the doors opened and one of the biggest White dudes I've ever seen steps in. He was tatted up to the neck and down to his fingertips, had a shaved head, and a scar behind one of his ears that was evidence of some damage he took somewhere along the line...

I looked up at this cat and nodded, grateful that I had my folding knife on my belt but knowing that it wasn't gonna do me much good if this

embracing the day is sometimes difficult. restless dreams, not enough cover, lumpy matress even the thought of sleeping alone. but we must push through these temporary distractions. we have 2 rise above and beyond. as the sun crashes through the windows i am engulfed by its energy and power. nature has no choice but 2 embrace its own beauty through the storms, global warming and neglect. so i become the tree, wind and rain. i stand going with the flow and pouring down ReBeLoVe........Pow!
