Grown

the slow roll of your eyes, the tilt of your head, the sneer of my lips, judging another’s youthful enthusiasm, joy for joy’s sake, labeling her cuz you grown, you grown cuz you gots a baby, but any fool can spread her legs, and let a man in… To be really grown, Grown Your Mind, …

Emotional Roller Coaster…

This past month and a half has been an emotional roller coaster.  I would really like to get off now, kiss the ground and thank the heavens.  I don't like them to begin since I tend to get motion sick. Emotional motion sickness is even worse. True story as a my honey would say. This …

My New Hobby – Exhaustion
