I write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

So near, but yet so far, I hope you are happy wherever you are, That straight hair, and those curly lashes, Whoever sees them, their heart crashes, Talking about something pretty, your smiling face comes to my mind, I just want to say, “Hey there! You are one of a kind.” Your soul is pure and you have a beautiful mind, Even in a crowd, everyone you outshine. There is something about the way you talk, Oh God! How amazing is your voice? Try to ignore... Pfft, that isn’t even a choice, I will never come close and reveal my heart, I am going to hold it in like in a lift you hold a fart, I am simple and hideous, You are dashing and pleasant, You have those sparkling eyes, Just to admire them from far I will try. Well, opposites attract, people say, Seeing you makes me glad that I am not gay. Someday, I hope you will notice me, That day, I might open my heart to thee.

You’re good, I’m bad. You’re happy, I am sad. You’re famous, I’m unknown. You can judge me, I can’t. Your friends are the best, Mine, well not so much. Your family taught you correct etiquettes, Mine didn’t. I’m Black, You’re white. You’re superior, I’m inferior. These are a few things we assume about someone we dislike, No second thoughts about anything and we are like take a hike mike. Be careful about the things you say, Might make you look tough but might hurt others feelings, Be considerate, be gentle, Spread love, not hate, Treat everyone equal, treat everyone right, Else without friends, end up, you might.
