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

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

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

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

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

Briefing: Putting the new presidency in perspective Donald Trump, You’re a president, For all to see, At the end of the poem, I don’t need nobody, To follow me, America stop the panic, You’re not South Africa, They got it really drastic,   Sat in my college course last semester, A South African native, said stop your crying, The South African president made it legal for random people, To randomly walk in your house, I got family still over there in the slums, And I have to worry because they can’t get out, She said “you’ll be ok, It’s just a president”, Not a lynching in the south,   Where’s Black Lives Matter, And all the so called organisers, Telling people they’re strong, Where’s unity during the storm, It’s the clash of the titans, Good versus evil, Good is winning, Females in higher positions, Young kids pursuing entrepreneurial ventures, But we still got ways to go, Blacks being killed, And we got the vide

Can we coexist? The sinful side, And the gentle man, Is this really in God’s plan? To create a flawed man, Blessed with great gifts, With karma, In his life, Having an empty hand, Fucking grateful, Lacking survival’s remorse, Wasn’t talent but God’s torch, That led my course, Up into I become a corpse, I be conscious of the light, He shows forth, Guess I’m not that bad, He still lights my way, Even though at times, I’m terrible at, Wearing the best Christian hat, But daily that’s one area, I’m getting better at, Lord forgive me Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

You're getting so close, You're really freaking me out, Have me thinking about,   Marriage and kids, You're more than the average chick, My family don't say "who is this", Nothing feels so true like this,   They say you're first real....., Still afraid to acknowledge this, Just saying if I was a college, You'll be full-ride scholarship,   Sometimes my heart tries to holler the truth, The other day a chick touched me, All I could think about was you, Oops!   Egg shells crack, My emotional walls broken, No longer choke on I love you, Because you're a token,   And I'm a slot machine, Jackpot! Used to live emotional locked, Inside my sandbox,   A past that I seldom speak of, People and situations make it reoccur like a beeper,   The steeper we climb, The harder they fall, I love women, But you have no competition,   You're the flo

Initial thought: The moment thirst trap isn't fun anymore.. Daily confirmation, Women on different levels, Can't even blame it,   Attention whores, Living miserably poor, If you judge on self love, And concealing a man's imagination, For them it would be, A chore,   Less clothes equal more love, Empty soul, Attempts to fill with man-ables, Cannibals of your own essence, Your value continue to lessen, With every Instagram post you're making,   The man ain't wrong to come at you, The way he do, The hunter captures prey, And you're the wounded animal,   Vulnerability screams from thee, "LOVE ME...... SEE MY TITTY..."   Used to can't help but indulge, But now I feel pity,   Can't imagine what's it like, To only fill whole through social media likes, And exposing of bare self, Just to get help, With low self-esteem that creep,   Out y

You left me, But you brought something back, A kid with a pen, Never knew I'll touch lives like that, Though I still prefer your life right back, Who ever knew 10 years ago, would lead to this though, My poetry being read all across the globe, Have a fan from overseas telling me to keep my feet on pedal and go, Others reciting their favorite quotes, I guess your death spark a voice in me that if you haven't left, I'll never know, I know you're resting beautifully and I can still see your smile, What a glow..

You not fully committed if you feeling imprison, Lust for others’ bodies that you weren’t given, Adopting sexual vibes, When you’re nonexistence, Missing myself, Missing the ways it used to be, Usually I don’t say much, But can you handle this gee, Tripping over the single life, I’m not single right, But my body trying to convince me, Of an opposite life, Free me, Silent yells, From my unidentifiable self, Searching for a breath, I need to breathe, Free me from my past self and welcome a new seed, I believe, One day this will come to past, And I’ll outlast the beast of my far from pure past, Cast out the temptations, That only wants to destroy me, That toy with me, Until I get bored with thee, Thought of a stable life, A beautiful marriage, And wife, This type of life will make your fantasies, Be the silent knife, That dismantles, Your whole life Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - In

Forgive me God, Forgive me, forgive me, I’m a, Lost child, forgive me, forgive me, For being lost, Come heal me, Come heal me, I’m filthy, I’m guilty, Of the things that eat at me, Scriptures flee from me, Look in the mirror, I don’t see me, Or who I want to be, I don’t remember me, It’s a distorted image I see, I must discover me, Because I lost me, So I fall to my knees, Praying hard, ………hoping God finds me, Six months later, I found me, Questioned God, And people around me, The devil tried to kill my faith, But I found me, Cast out a toxic life and surround me, With purposeful living, I’m finally free, My friends now reminding me, Pray daily, The world wants to kill your baby, And the devil, Is his first lady, It’s sad but so crazy, The world is filled with temptation, Run away from it, Because it be chasing, Your dreams are worth more, Than any detour seeming worth chasing Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instag

Kissed the lips of temptation, Personally met satan, Internal complications, Due to your mental arrangements, But I'm free now, Finally can see now, That distorted presence, Don't always feel pleasant, Sometimes you have to ignore yourself, And trust in the one who say it, The voice of God, Covers me when he replied, Yet the devil trying to make me see life, Through evil eyes, Testing my psyche, Like do you believe in God? While fighting off worrying, And feeling broken inside, Trying to ignore my human feelings, While trusting in God, He spoke to me, So I know he resides, Right now, in the turmoil, Of my life, Only providing me a gift, When I see a wife, No premature birthed life Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Psyche distorted, Love her but I hope a baby is aborted, Prayed to God before that, Had instant calm, Days later had instant calm, Now I'm wondering, If her time comes on, Didn't question God prior, But now I feel like, The time is here, God hasn't come, With no answers, for this test of faith, That I am on, Troubling thing, But like my parents tell me, I am grown, My choices are my own..

They try to break my spirit, But they know, they can't kill it, I'm my own worst villain, And I killed those voices a while ago, Now I'm truly living, The outside world doesn't affect me, Because internally, I'm at peace, I always cease to become disturbed by, The external world trying to affect me, When I was young, My confidence neglects me, I felt, So incomplete, Now you never catch me, Walking down the street without confidence raging inside me, Fought my mental battles, now I'm finally free, Still evolving myself, changing the world around me Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter
