I stand in the mirror and admire my body. Talking to myself
"Girl you did that pregnancy two kids no stretch marks....Hmph!.. You bad, Muah"
I hear a knock at the door, and when I open it Mylique is standing there with my favorite flowers.
Me:"Pink Roses you remembered...Aweeee thank you".
Mylique: "No problems or limits for a lady as beautiful as you, now lets go. I signed you up for tonight"
Me:"Alright I'm game lets go, I dropped the twins off earlier I got your mamaw's number from my ainy you know they been bingo buddies since we were kids. When I called her she got excited & wanted me to bring them over sooner so now we have more time to ourselves"
Mylique:"Oh koo what about yah old man"?
Me:"Do you see a niggha around here, I told him if he wanted to be a hoe then he can have one too! I don't share penis that's disgusting so I'm single & I don't want him or Kia around my kids PERIOD!".
Mylique: "Thas real, now lets go"
******At Poetry Slam******
I sit down and let Wordsmiths take me away in their words I drift out into a sea of emotions, and everything in my life comes to my mind according to the subject of the words spoken.
I look over at Mylique and he's vibing with the mood in the small building, when he disappears , I assume he's at the restroom so I check on my babies.

"The little ones are asleep. Have Fun".
I'm relieved, I thought they would've ran her crazy by now. I sit back in my chair to relax when I hear my name.
"Lets give it up for Miss Katera yall"
Wait! , I thought Mylique was joking, I look to the side of the stage and see Mylique laughing, at one thing he never did was lie to me.I get up to the stage and begin to speak
"Well umm I didn't plan on speaking but umm this is a little something I wrote a while back its called "I tapped you" I wrote it a while back when I was going through some things with an old, friend who I thought loved me but it was only lust. but here it is."
" I tapped u
And you didnt notice me.
The girl who u spent all hours of the night with.
Me.
The girl whose shoulder u cried on at your mothers funeral
. Me.
The only girl who was dumb enough to bend to her knees n cater to your needs.Only to forget your love for the Alphabets n that since 8th grade you've pocketed S. T.& D..
D rhymes with B which is the first letter in bitch that barks. Which is on a tree like me stands tall which starts with T. My old boyfriend who always kept it Street . Which starts with S, thats on my chest im the best mother to my unborn child. Cliped and clamped sewed signed sealed delievered. Im yours .
For the night
Grab my hair , slap my ass. Kiss my neck. Grind all night. This is the only way I might be able to feed my little sister. And put her through school. And hopefully keep her safe from this reality thats cruel. Or these streets thats masked the faces of nigghas just like u.
The tic toc rockin
suck my big cock and. Your body ill rock
and when when u see me in the streets tip tap im not stoppin"
the building is quiet when I finish then erupt into applause, then I saw Mylique standing on the side of the stage smiling and clapping , a tear of happiness drops from my face and I exit the stage.
Mylique: "I ain't know you had it like that, you have skills"
Me:"Thanks baby cakes it's late we should go".
We go for the door when a man stops me" I really liked your piece come back & see us "
Me: "Ok I will".
We walk out, and Mylique kisses me, I kiss him back. Maybe I made the wrong choice by not not dating him. I guess it's never to late.
