No one - Personal Poem by Zo

No one asked you to care.
No one asked you to wait.

I feel like a dumb ass, told my prospects to wait.
Stop your smiling, shit's clearly not that cool.
And before we continue, I heard about ole dude.
I ain't even mad, cause class? He don't have.
He will never be appear, aspire, or dream to be me.

I will forever remember that stupid day. Shit plays over in my mind.
You came over so genuine and in your eyes, you were so kind.
In actuality it was a front. You do shit like that to get what you want.
A way out. You're selfish, self-centered, and full of shit.
I've never disrespected you - even when you acted like a bitch.

I too, have learned a very valuable lesson.
It'll be a long time before I'm EVER in this situation.
Again, maybe a friend would come at me the right way.
May listen and even feel what I have to say.
Again I reiterate...

No one asked you to care.
No one asked you to wait.

That's it! I Quit! I'm Moving on!

Sam Cook recorded this old blues track in 1961. We were in a different time back then, but the realities of the lyrics are relevant even today. They were relevant in my life anyway. We connect to our artists by our emotions and experiences. Adele did a cover of the song on her album, 19. Her British accent and obvious sassy attitude gave the song flair and life. This song ministered to me because it gave direct insight on a situation that I was experiencing. I was in LOVE, by myself. There was an agreement to just, "be friends". In the song, there's a line that said, "if I can't have you the way I want you, I don't want you at all." So there it is. Throughout the relationship that I was in, there was a strong time strain. No time for me. No time for us. I can remember a conversation, "...you're not a priority. You're simply on a to-do list." One would think that even sane man would have left then, right? Not my stupid ass. SMH. Th...

A bottle of emotion

I refuse to write yet another love story and be labeled as a writer with lovely thoughts about happiness a bliss. I would prefer to be that brother that writes of truth, the other side, the side less read or shall I say TALKED about because it is less desirable material. No fuck that. I can tell I lost a few of you with that last sentence - so let's try it again. I would prefer to keep it real with the ugly than MAC make-up the FACE you want to see. Or better yet, paint a picture of the most beautiful relic on God's green earth. I'm real whether directly or indirectly. Intelligence is earned, it is free and costs you nothing to obtain. GET SOME! If you read hard enough you'll feel my pain and my intentions and my story. My intentions are not to confuse you, yet USE you to think harder than you thought the day before. I'll be your therapist, come on in. It's here - all right here, you just have to open your mind and receive it. The funny thing about words is t...
