Hear My Voice
Speaking Life Through Poetry

Book Cover & Preview Text
Dilemma
Thoughts of vivid expressions and obsessions
That leads to fatal state of depression
Depression of circumstantial evidence
yet to be known
Pain of life’s incidents are embedded
instead of being shown
Substantial increase of blockage within the mind
Release of pressure and facts I seek to find
Attraction of hatred and rebellion
penetrating for years
When there’s nothing left but catastrophe
of death to fear
The elevation of anger through trampled
arteries and veins
That plunges the heart with syringes in
excruciating pain
A Child’s Cry
Mama wait don’t leave me here
Can’t you see it’s them that I fear
They do things to me when you’re not near
They push me around and have me in tears
I hate it when you go to work
When you leave me they treat me like dirt
I hate these folks and that is no lie
All they do is pick on me and make me cry
I have so much fire burning inside
And you wonder why I never smile
Mama open your eyes
Can’t you see
This is not the place I want to be
I kick and scream begging you not to leave
I’ve held onto your legs
I’ve even promised and pleaded
I know your job is important
You’ve said it many
Times
But please love me first
Look inside this
little heart of mine
Innocent Souls
Children are little innocent souls
They follow while you take control
Pay attention to them
Don’t let them slip away
Put them first and save everything else
for another day
Everything you do they are attentive to
They watch what you say and what you do
What you allow determines their outcome
Be aware of their surroundings especially
when their young
Don’t be blinded
Know when there’s something wrong
Make sure their reactions are of the norm
Always know what’s going on
They won’t understand the reasons why
All they know is that they’re hurting inside
Hear your little ones cry
