Inspired by Angela Rye's Comments

They made Angela Rye cry, Time for our form of apartheid, People just starting to be woke, People been hanging from ropes, Even a few months ago, They failed to acknowledge the truth, When it’s been staring at you, 400 years ignored, What does that say about you? It’s cool, You didn’t believe what we say, Then we provided you videotapes, You choke us to death, Shoot us to dead in broad day, And we’re feeling helpless, And our mothers continue to cry every day, I’m still hopeful for better, And I believe in God, Sometimes I wish I could lash out, But my hands are tied, Can’t be the hero my people need, It hurts me to see, The level of success I have, Yet it still don’t matter, They still treat me like a savage, Hate that our babies have to grow up in this madness, Feel like daily, Amerikkka has given us sadness Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twit

Inspired by Marvin Sapp's "Never Would Have Made It"

Never would have made it, Would be in the grave if, That knife was closer, If that condom wasn’t trustworthy, If them bullets didn’t call somebody else home, You have no idea, How many nights I cried alone, Because my sins were tucked at home, While my conscious dome, Realize God, Let me walk publicly distant from, The struggles I struggle with, When no one talking, Just the devil at my brain, Constantly knocking, I would have never made it to my success, Went through battles, Though no visible battle scars, Just PTSD, And hidden flaws, Things still trigger me, I can’t escape my past, Only can evolve as a person, But can never escape my innate ability, God saved me, But tug of wars I still see Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Truly Love

I had a dream, That I had a dream, But I never woke up, And realized you’re everything, I ever dreamed, I’m chased by schemes, That’s detrimental, To the love we created, Incidental, Never believed in love at first sight, But I believed in you, Planted a seed in your heart, And watched it grew, Seeing an evolving side of you, Like “who are you”, With a smile on my face like, I never knew, That I could fall in love, With a new side of you, I am home, And never want to leave you alone, A life without you, My heart will be gone, Never looking to a life, Without my queen on the throne, Rule over my heart, For so long, While I’m trying to build an empire, You can call home, While watching you accomplish everything, You ever domed Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Inspired by You

She’s my Mona Lisa, Features, That makes your heart skips beat, Like loud speakers, She’s my Basquiat, My thoughts spewed over my works, She inspires my art, She’s my Maya Angelou, A phenomenal woman, Nice frame, With a brain, That doesn’t even announce it’s coming, That’s my woman, She’s my Rosa Parks, She staged a sit-in, In my heart, Screaming to other women, You can’t fit in, She’s my princess, A queen, Working hard individual who do the little things, I’m lucky, I’ve obtained, The woman of my dreams Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Needing Proper Burial

The boy in me died, But I didn’t give it, Its proper burial, Scarecrows, Tip toe in my present, Birthed in my past, Died in-between, Withered but last, Through the winters and summers, The bad days and the drama, And the heated times I was under, Getting a little older now, Got to move different, Imagining kids and a wife, Got to find a jewel, In the pool of fishes, Sanitation worker, Realizing I had a bigger purpose, Cleansing my life from these feces, To see who’s really worth it, Crowned king, Written centuries ago, God just letting you see the growth, But I been dreaming these goals, You’re blessed to watch it come to life, Loss so many close ones, Who told me my life, They saw previews, Of my current view, Evolving from a child to a man, Because of you, Rest easy, I’m always thinking……….of you Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter
