When we are born we often take on the life that developed around us. Whether it is to follow that path or find a new one. For many this leaves reason to create what you make of it and make your life your own regardless of your uprising. However for many minorities and black people regardless of who you are and what you make from it, you cannot make anything from if you are shot and dead, or stripped voiceless from the very home that was supposed protect you.
These are a collection of poems that touch upon the struggles of black life in America. Some of which are mine and others from famous authors and people I know just all like. Let's talk about "forbidden topics" and change our understanding of each and the world around us.

CAUTION: I DID NOT PUT MATURE ON BUT CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS OF ABUSE INCLUDING S/A... & probaly some swearing. There will be disturbing sh*t in here. This book is a poem book of my life pretty much. Its my thoughts and emotions spoken in a different suppossed to be more emotional and deeper way then just looking at what happened and crying about it. What happened can never be fixed but I won't let those people go by un-noticed and I hope karma sincerely kicks them in more then the ass someday. I don't wish pain upon no one but I do crave for them to just UNDERSTAND what they made me feel since they all walked away without a scrape, just a smirk on all their faces in the end. Or they're narcassistic. Theres also letters to people who I still think of to this day that will probably never read them but you guys still hold a special place in my heart. This book is letters and poetry to all; people of my past, present, future, and not only just SURVIVORS but WARRIORS too. You're never alone my loves... Welcome to : "Message Not Delivered"Complete
Dear Fathers of the Fatherless Children
The choices we make in life can make or break us. However, some people make choices out of selfish reasons; not knowing their actions at the present time will have repercussions in the future. We are told not to worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow is not promised. That could be very well true. However, what if tomorrow is promised; how would you reexamine yesterday? What would you do differently today? How would you prepare for tomorrow? We are told to live for today, however, the question is-how many people live for "today?" If you are living for "today" at the end of the day, could you say you took care of all of your responsibilities? Each day has a purpose; each day creates a memory, and each day should be precious. Ask yourself-did you put your best foot forward? Or did you point fingers at everyone else instead of focusing on what you need to improve? The important question is: at the end of each day, are you satisfied with the decisions you've made? Dear Fathers of the Fatherless Children: Do you know your sons and daughters are AMAZING? They are full of life and they are truly a blessing. Your sons and daughters need you in their lives. Fathers of the fatherless children, your sons and daughters crave your presence and your support. They want you in their lives more than you will ever know. Fathers of the fatherless children, open your eyes and know your presence is very critical. Be your son's hero and let him know he can conquer the world. Be your daughter's first knight in shining armor. Be a part of your son's and daughter's success instead of their painComplete
Broken
An unexplainable pain ran through my entire system, making breathing difficult. I tried to breathe, but I couldn't. The emotions of the past few days, finally, coming out. I did not deserve to be dry whilst she was six feet under. I had killed her, with my own bare hands. I was not paying attention, and because of that I lost her. ★★★★★ Adam had lost that which meant the world to him, and he felt like life had lost its meaning. If it wasn't for his daughter, he had no idea as to how he could still be alive. At an unexpected time, someone came into his life, and made his new normal, not feel so normal anymore. Will he become the man he once was, or will he be pushed deeper into the dark, empty abyss that has become his life?

These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamareComplete

Nothing Like That
Life, that's the funny thing about it. We always wanted things to go the way that we imagined it too, but of course plans just always have to change. What if we could've thought about how we wanted our lives to go from in the womb? Wouldn't that make everything so much better? What if we could've created our husbands/wives for ourselves, would that make us a God/Deity? Maybe, just maybe. We were all just living our truths and we needed people to come into our lives to shine the light where we always played blind to. This was about to be the reality of everything that we tried so hard to envisioned for ourselves. Truths are about to be tested, faith was about to be questioned and most importantly Love was about to be granted.Complete
The Night Sky is in Her Veins
// s o n d e r \\ - "the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own" Life can be dark, cold and lonely. Feeling betrayed, misunderstood, chewed up and spat out by the world, its when I get sonder, that I realise I might not be as alone as I thought. This is my autobiography, in a series of harsh and delicate words, painted as a story. Includes drugs, sex, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal tendencies, assault and other hard topics, so read at your own discretion. THIS IS THE TRIGGER WARNING. I wrote it, with the intention that, if there are people in the world who feel alone and misunderstood just like me, and can benefit in any way by relating to my stories in my poems, then I have done at least one thing right.

Into the wild
Hurt, pain, doubt, insecurity, temporary happiness, fear, toxic relationships, anger, anxiety, issues, and chaos. They were the unwelcome passengers on my road trip of life. While being pregnant with my daughter Lea, I was in a really dark place and one day I met some random girl in college name Nicole, she sat next to me on the hallway floor. Her being there was making me tremble from the inside out. But it wasn't her, it was Jesus in her. The way she let Jesus take over her life, made everyone feel the presence of God. I started to sobbed and she hugged me (without knowing me) then I cried even harder. She said, "there's nothing you can do that will make God unlove you." To make the long story short, that day I surrender my life to Jesus and made a friend for life. I decided to make this 39 days bookish of writings because when life hit us hard we need a reminder of hope, joy, faith, love, and worth. The thing that inspires me every time I find myself in great difficulty is the knowledge that God loves me unconditionally, despite all my shortcomings.Complete
All She Wanted Was Love
"I love you god knows I do but I can't do this. I can't. I put up with the phone calls, the text messages, social media, random chicks, not coming home, and everything else. Let alone a baby you conceived by some random chick. I'd be a fool to marry you. I'm sorry but it's time I loved me more than you" I looked at him once more as a tear slid down his face as he stood there lost for words. I looked at our family and friends, hiked up my dress, and walked down the aisle. "Sorry guys! Enjoy the reception and the trip. Please don't let it go to waste" I said as I ran down the seashell lined aisle not knowing where I was going. April Elegance Blackmon is a woman who has it all...literally. She's the owner of Blackmon Technologies which happens to be a billion dollar computer Software Corporation. Materialistically she has it all. What she lacks is love and although she loved her man love just wasn't enough. Sure they looked great on the outside but in the inside they were a recipe for disaster maybe even toxic. Inside she was fighting for a man who wasn't worth fighting for. Watch as she finally let's love go only to get swept right on in by someone she promised she wouldn't entertain again well type of man anyway. Just because she's done with love doesn't mean that love is done with her. Is she truly ready for the new ride God has set out for her? A Chris Brown and Dave East Fanfic... No copyright!Complete
