Good Vibe Tribe
Family is there through thick & thin
They aren't afraid to tell you when
You're a pain in the ass, but you don't realize
So take their advice, don't agonize
They'll let you know what you did wrong
So that your bond can remain strong
They won't push you away
Let them say what they say
They won't disown
You'll still have a home
When people love you
They'll tell you what's up
They won't try to break
Your friendship up
Take it to heart
Hear what they say
They still love you anyways
When they push you to be better
Don't just pull away
That's how you end up alone
& that way you'll stay
When you're searching for a family
You have to let them in
Trust that their intentions
Are to better you within
It's time to stop moving
Stop shuffling your life
It's time to settle down
& quit focusing on strife
A Family of Strangers
A family of strangers
is a gathering of friends
Who met once upon a time
& remained bonded 'til the end
From each far reaching corner
of this spherical Earth
Accumulating like magnets
to bask in each other's worth
Swimming across oceans
Climbing mountain peaks
Crossing legal borders
To love endlessly
Bonding over campfires
Listening to tunes
Even playing with light-up balloons
Sharing our souls
Good vibes spread throughout
Selflessness offered up
Joyous praises we shout
Developing crushes
we seek only to hide
Because fear of rejection
is detrimental to our pride
We're incapable of accepting
the love that we deserve
Because too many times
we've been kicked to the curb
We show affection
to those who aren't us
Yet we wonder how
their love we can trust
If we can't love ourselves
How can others return
They can't reciprocate
what we continue to burn
Feelings cause pain
when you don't believe
That love is there
for you to receive
You circle back to homies
Your sisters & brothers
To forget about your emotions
& not let them smother

PoetryA collection of my poetry over the last 15 years or so. I am more proud of some works than others, however, all of it is a part of who I am. Organized into categories rather than chronologically.
