Walking on Broken Glass

I've been walking on broken glass
Hurting myself just to see if i still feel
And the more i walk on broken glass
The longer my heart takes to heal

No longer wanting these emotions that have taken over me
Exceeded its time in my heart
Yet holding me back like bondage
Broken glass at me feet

As painful as it is i keep moving forward on these broken glass
Waiting to see how long time will take to past
How long my heart will take to change its mind
How long the glass will continue to pierce me

Walking on broken glass

Minutes away from death

I saw him swerve the corner
Dash past the red light
Sweat on his brow
Death in his sight
He barely avoided the curb
And the truck on his left
He made a direct call to a figure called death

Red mustang going just about 90 miles an hour
Just him and the steering wheel
A loud radio and the blast
Didn't even see death looking through his glass
Cellphone on the ear
Cigarette in the mouth
He nearly rear ended me
But his brakes helped him out

Overtook a minivan with a mom and her kids
Overtook an old man
Rolling his eye lids
If only he wasn't rolling them
Then he would see it coming
A small Honda civic, barely running

Turning a corner and hooting a horn
Life flashes before his eyes, straight to the day when he was born
Minutes away from death
Burnt from his own cigarette
Totalled his precious mustang and the civic too

Breathless but not lifeless
Slow down this could have been you

Its not until you find yourself always thinking about him that you relize
You've fallen, hopelessly and helplessly fallen
You never saw it
Probably could'nt stop it


You start living life on the edge
Taking chances
Forgetting, forgiving
Kissing and most of all living


Its not until you find yourself smiling when no one said a joke
Waiting for the next time to see their face
Relating every love song
Thinking about the next touch, smell taste

Its not until.....

Alicia Keys must have known all about me when she wrote the song falling because lately thats all my heart does
And Beyonce must of heard my heart beating when she wrote dangerously in love
India Arie had to know how you looked when she wrote brown skin
And Destinys Child must have saw your brown eyes because i love when you look at me with a passion
Micheal Bolton never told me how to live without you
And Whitney Houston must have known i will always love you even when i let you go
My love song, my melody
My Ballad, My Foofy

Random things

Hi blog, me again. SOOOO I decided to start writing about my intern adventures downtown because it seems almost every time i come down here i see something that i am absolutely positive is not normal and if it is it shouldn't be. So today am walking my very, very far ( i mean more than a mile, well at least it feels like it) walk from parking ( which cost me 3 dollars out of my own pocket but we won't go there( because the ministry of tourism won't give me access to closer parking at there facilities but anyways) to the Ministry of tourism, i happen to see in Rawson Square 3 random chicks cheer leading. AM THINKING... At 10 am when the temperature is said to be 81 degrees you girls want to cheer lead? Hmm interesting..... so i decide to watch (never mind the fact that am late because i had 2....yes 2 flat tires this morning but ehh there not paying me and besides its government so we all know how that goes). So these chicks are doing a full fledged stamp my feet clap your hand routine in the sun for free? Were they practicing? Did they just want exposure? Or were they expecting money to be drop into a top hat? These questions among many others consumed my forehead until i realized hey its 81 degrees and am wearing a suit, a hot one at that..TIME TO GO!!! Well i was perplexed and i thought about that as i walked my remaining 4 blocks. WEIRD! Well till next time and trust me these days there always is a next time.

Dream

Drifting away into a land full of dreams
Burying my thoughts and wearing my heart on my sleeve
Careless and carefree without a doubt in my mind
You and me could't be more defined

If only life was a fairy tale then all my wishes would come true
And you loving me could be in sync with me loving you
And not only Cinderella would have that happily ever after
Tinkerbell and Peter Pan would be our dinner guests from here on after

I'll wear that poof of a white dress on that blessed day
You would praise me for my beauty and my good grace
I would praise you for you patience and your heart like a child
We would walk away together with a great big smile

Sadly the alarm clock wakes me and jares my back
Reality sets in and my life resumes on track
I am alone with a dog and a cell phone
No one to love me
All alone

Last thought

Homeless, jobless, feeling near worthless
No prayers can save him
His minds is in a pool of doubts
No prayers can save him
He sees this as his only way out

Negativity surrounds him
Car repossessed, feelings consuming him more than stress
Just pray about it they say
But his mind is made up
He's just waiting on the day
The voices in his heads coerces him
DO IT! DO IT!

His blessing quickly turned in his curse, his only way out
Phone constantly rings
His thoughts consume him, makes him, breaks him
Handsome, black ,strong man watching his life taken away
By a bleak economy

He sees his reflection
He winces at the site
Sharp, piercing
Red stains the carpet, silent cries escape

The last thing his mind allows him to play
A family dinner was prepared
The last time all his kids will see him sitting there

Mash potatoes, chicken and corn
His wife is seen feeding the newborn
Smiling at him with hopeful eyes
The voices still tell him it would be better to die

It's after 4pm
The voices stop
Three kids and beautiful, black, strong wife
Why would this man take his own life

Homeless, jobless feeling near worthless

Recession exceeding more than six months?

History sure does repeat itself

Didnt the world go through this like two times already



Now unemployment aint racist no more

It just about knocking on every bodies door

Screw minorities it getting the rich too

Bailouts? What the hell they suppose to do



Times are getting troubled

More mothers having babies

A woman just had eight and now she wants donations

And didnt gas prices take a dive? So why are food prices still so high



So they say this could take like 3 years to blow over

We been in recession long time but they just official announce it last year October

Old folks turning to the 'Good Book'

Signs of the last days?

Let's wait to see if Obama is worth all the praise



Maybe we should start going to church since we can't borrow from the bank

Maybe it will help many from thinking suicide is the best option

And what's up with all the foreclosures?

Where all them people suppose to go?



I see the Chinese buying up

And this is suppose to be good

How much black people work at the Chinese in you neighborhood

Ok Ok maybe a few but notice how much cameras they got watching them and you

Ah boy.. ReaL LifE
