I went to an open mic event lastnight and it was such a beautiful experience! I believe it's safe to say that I've been inspired to put my words on paper in a way that I have never done before. And I wrote poetry today for the very first time!
Getting started was not so easy for me, but once I got started I found it fun and relaxing and in a sence freeing. Here is just a sample and I hope you enjoy it:
My Sista’s Keeper
If you care about me then you’ll show me
said the boy who wanted to be a man.
Listening to this bullshit she says
yes, I’ll do anything, the girl had no plan.
She’s searching for love in all the wrong places
and because she is so trusting...
Never understanding why all she gets is
a bunch of lies and sexual thrusting.
It is for this reason I vow to be my sista’s keeper
she and I have, well, an understanding
That our faithfulness to each other
can prevent her from making a crash landing.
I am my sista’s keeper
no more STD’s or unintended pregnancy problems
I am her bestfriend
I am her female condoms!
