"Jesus was black.
ronald regan was the devil.
and the government is lying about 9/11."

school.



i didn't learn anything in high school.
except to run when i heard a bell
and sit where they tell me to.


wait attentively until my name
is called.
respect authority,
don't think outside the box.


am i really bout to do this shit
all over again? 


i wish i knew where to go.


but what do you do
when there's nothing to do 
but to do what you're told?

& exactly how i felt
the first time i heard this.

jazzy belle.


cold summers.

the rain matched
the music today.

melodies of
melancholy
reflecting
the vast
nothingness
of overcast.

just one of them days.

glow like leroy.

"no black person will ever believe that George Jackson
died the way they tell us he did." -James Baldwin

what we do.


the number won.

regrets.

visions
traveling
backwards.

images
replay
themselves
over & over
again.

the
future
is
neglected.
more
unclear
than
ever ...

... like desperately
trying to recall
a dream you
had the night
before,

the pieces are missing.

why is it

the nightmares,
we always
seem to
remember?

the miseducation of lauryn hill.


"i hear so many cry for help,
searching outside of themselves.
now i know that His strength
is within me."

?

what if
6 was 9.
what if
everything
was a lie.

july 28th.

for a few moments
my mind felt at peace
still running ,
but flowing
at the
perfect
pace.
allowing
perception
to make
perfect
sense.

phase two has taken place.
propelling me into a world
where thoughts are reborn
in the physical...

& progression
can begin.

today was a good day.

the king stay the king.

ready for love.

playlist.

i slap

window seat . ebadu
highway 7 . k-os
cold pillow . theophilus london

& call it cold bright nights.


history.


"kweli say: everybody act according to the season that they born in...."

i dig these threads.

the way.


go.

roaming.
direction
infinite
in
a sense,
destination
is 
ambiguous.
just a bit.
a free spirit
oblivious
of
her own
confines,
unaware
of
her own terror
to wander
unto territories
unfamiliar.
some look
about with
concerned
eyes
"why?"
aren't you
somewhere
else,
anywhere
else
but here.


simply
because,
i'm not
quite done.
i'll know
when its
my time
to
leave.


peace to
shizz, fees & anisa.
to growth and new
beginnings.
i love yall.


"the world is mine when i wake up.
i don't need nobody telling me the time."
-badu.

closer.

millionaire.
