Through My Eyes

Through my eyes I see the you in me
I see your hands and toes
Your skin and all
I see your habits and faults
But I am just a part of you as I am of her
And that scares me
Will I carry your burdens
Will I be just as wrong as you were
Will my actions reflect you
I try hard not to make her as mad as you've made her
Or disappointed or hurt
But you have disappointed and hurt me
Something I won't do to others consciously
So now I look at the me in me and know that it different from the you

Lets Play Girl

Ode to Jazzy B

We played Girl all the time
We had fun, we made rhymes
We were choreographers for our own dance
Disney movies had us in a trance
We played Girl all the time
We made mountains to climb
We built our own homes
And talked on imaginary phones
We played Girl all the time
I seek and you hide
We both had babies
And were married to celebrities
Oh God She Crazy was our game
Every day we had a different name
One day we'll have little ones
Who will want to have fun
And we'll tell them to play Girl
All the time

Potential

I try to let my dreams carry me
Let my aspirations show me where I'll spend my eternity
Never forgetting that my greatest obstacle is within
Praying constantly that my souls' strength doesn't wear thin
Fading into transparency leaving me unable to see, left blind
To the fact that my potential is one too difficult to find
So I decide to let my dreams carry me
Until I discover who I really want to be
Because other peoples images cloud my view of the sky
So in my blindness I let what I need pass me by
And hold on to what I want only to be too soon let go
Dropped by false hopes into those desperate seas
Until I am ready for my dreams to carry me
When I am finally In the arms of my asperations
I am free with my own creations
My beautiful Frankestiens made from the parts of me
Completed dreams like the gift of a birth given so preciously
Leaving me to inspire others to be carried by their dreams
