Misunderstanding of one who loves you most
....silent black eyes of one's true ghost.

Can the empty sentences
be solved like a puzzle?

A poem by Sierra Clayton

How does it feel to be different?

How does it feel to hide from the world?
How does it feel to be a person’s shadow?
How does it feel to put a mask over your face?
How does it feel to be misplaced?

So I walked in the store
grabbed a sprite
tax was high
so I picked a fight
wasn't right
it was just wrong
but I thought the tax was
too long

Our love is like a rose
gentle, soft, and sweet
but not a regular rose
but one that's unique.

No One listens.
No One Cares.
No One is there
with which I can
share the pain

It all started back in 01
when Xzavier was born.
That's my little baby boy.
I can't live without my son.
When I'm creeping down
the street
he like legs me.

It could be all lovely...

This is not a bad neighborhood
if you can take all of the drama out of the hood
it would be all lovely.

If you could take the drugs
out of the hood
it would be all lovely.

When the wind blows,
when the rain comes,
when the sky roars.

Respecting a black woman
Is so easy to do.
If you respect a black woman
She'll respect you.

What is poetry????? What is poetry?
Is it a heartfelt rhyme,
listened and rehearsed
time after time?
