Sometimes I feel like crying. When that happens, I cry the alphabet onto paper and dry my eyes with ink...

My favorite fruit is melon-choly...it often tastes bitter and wet...and even then...I yearn for its nostalgic flavors...

One day, I want to look back at my past and realize the hurt and pain was just a temporary flicker in my life's wildfire

Life is full of disappointment...

And you were the biggest one

[blackgirlwritespoetry]

I knew it.

I knew you'd let me down

Just like the ones before you

Sure I may have had a hand

Or a few:

Doubt.

Fear.

Scepticism.

Insecurity.

I thought I could let my gang go

My RoD's

Introduced to me by several men and boys over the years

Like a warm blanket sad and reliable, we knew each other well

Then came you.

ripping me from familiarity and warmth

Drowning me, dragging me into the deep dark depths of some scary unknown within myself.

Within you.

Us.

My eyes started to adjust to the dark

I felt around for a while starting to find my way

It was...nice...

All of a sudden I was blinded by my friends and their flashlights shinning down

Doubt and insecurity were always together holding hands

Sceptism following happily skipping right along

And then fear with a big vague smile.

Fuck.

I like you guys. I do...

Or so I thought...

Fuck you guys. You suck and are not welcome!

The words never leave my lips but stay caged behind my teeth.

We swim back to the tragically familiar surface and lazily float along the surface of my lonely soul...

Hoping and longing to drown in us once again...

I have so many drafts....such is life lol....

But for now let's work on these drafts

The problem mostly being I wrote them during moments of intensity and when I don't feel that anymore, my writing feels inauthentic...
