"I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness."
— Ossie Davis (via vagabondaesthetics)

Birds sing loud for you,
the whole world’s so proud of you.
So here’s to you, Mama!
This young woman I go to school with…
134.
Just please don’t say you miss me…
Your soft lies kiss me as I try to make sense of things.
Entreating me,
Enticing me to return to you.
But never again will my heart be a mere puppet, wrapped in your strings.
133.
Tears are what fertilize the Earth
Those from the innocent cleanse the hearth
They are the lights left in the dark maw of humanity,
Washing away the stains of insanity.
"I’m just an ordinary man with an unordinary lifestyle,
It seems early I would live as a child.
I was conceived a mistake, but through God is really all it takes
for me to be born and make the earth shake."
— Corey Brent Penn Sr. a.k.a. C.L. Smooth
If You’re In College or Any Level of School
You know what I mean when I say, fuck midterms & fuck finals.
UCLA doesn’t want to make this shit easy…
132.
What a difference a day makes,
Yet they never say how much energy a day takes.
All it takes is one to test how much your will shakes,
It can all fall down as soon as the earth quakes.
I just pray you learn from your mistakes
and don’t hesitate to make a change.
Get up and go out!
Be loud and speak out!
There’s no time like the present to be open and present
to the problems of others.
It’s never too late to uplift your sisters and brothers.

And Just When I Think I’m Done, I Unearth Another Jewel From My Mind’s Mine
I Haven’t Posted In Forever…
But finally, I have some new material. School seems to really be sapping all of my creativity…
I Think I Broke Her…
131.
Just as winds reverse
relationships inverse and change.
Nothing stays the same.
130.
The epitome
of the Love and Hate in me.
Life’s lessons forced in me.
