So I'm saving all my secrets for a deaf man and I blabber on I blabber on....

Im. Perfect. Ions
By:Shanowa J.

I’m not perfect but some say “she’s pretty got dam close to it”
Ha! Those silly civilians must really not know me
Shit if you look closely you see all my flaws
Some may need a magnified glass but I make it easier for you
just point them out one by one
I have all my teeth, perfectly straight both top and bottom
Well some may think
Shit if you look closely at my bottom teeth all may assume to be straight
But there’s one tooth that mess up my perfect straight line
One tooth pushes back
Ha individuals really must not know me I say
I can’t see to save my life but if you closely ,stare at my big eyes
The left eye is slight lazy ssshh I said pay attention closely cant you hear
But I love every “flaw” and being perfect is a fucking Bore
And maybe today maybe tomorrow or next year what the fuck ever
Someone will notice my imperfections without me telling so and smile
thinking it’s the most beautiful thing about me.
But until then I enjoy confusing people thinking I’m ever so perfect and having them say
”She’s pretty got damn close to it”

Oh Sunday What a day I say
Nothing funny on this rainy day
If I knew Oh Sunday you bring deep thoughts I would have partied yesterday
Came home until dawn instead of 1
Have a few laughs with a few friends instead of watching you Oh Sunday
Oh Sunday I trusted you, to bring joy
But looking out my window all I see is rain
Rain that looks like it will last all freaking day
Maybe Oh Sunday I shall Paint you what a real beautiful day should look like
Instead of Gray I give you Orange, Purple, Pink amazing forest green anything but what your used to
Oh Sunday I think you love Being Gray and alone, who knows
I think I think too much what you think Oh Sunday?
Oh who cares what you think
How can you be so selfish and think about self?
Give this rainy day when you’re my favorite day
I think I think way too much ,what you think Oh Sunday?
I will go to sleep wake up
Paint myself beautiful pictures using every color but Not Gray
Today you gave my hell Oh Sunday if I See you Oh Sunday Go the other way
No seriously Go the other way go the other way
Today I will be ok
Thank you for the rain it made me aware of how vain you were Sunday
I know everything will be ok
There’s always tomorrow Like A beautiful new Monday
Oh Sunday Oh Sunday

Y'all dudes freelance, play for any team Don't stand for nothin then you fall for anything Turn on your voice soon as you get any cheers

The Black Panthers Movement some stated it started in 1964 after a young boy was shot by officers.A time when blacks had been working for years to end segregation and now here was a movement that never freelance and always stood up for what they believe in. Both Men and Women worked and fought together and even Women were speaking up as leaders.DOPE!! Now in the present everyone seems to keep quiet and not speak on how they feel or even stand for whats right. I wish I was a panther with my fro and leading all the females into greatness and helping Men out as well.

All Lovely Things

All Lovely Things
By Conrad Aiken

All lovely things will have an ending,
All lovely things will fade and die,
And youth, that's now so bravely spending,
Will beg a penny by and by.

Fine ladies soon are all forgotten,
And goldenrod is dust when dead,
The sweetest flesh and flowers are rotten
And cobwebs tent the brightest head.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, return!—
But time goes on, and will, unheeding,
Though hands will reach, and eyes will yearn,
And the wild days set true hearts bleeding.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, remain!—
But goldenrod and daisies wither,
And over them blows autumn rain,
They pass, they pass, and know not whither.

The Dangerous Liaison

Cherchez La Femme

Translation

Cherchez La Femme:The translation from the French is "look for/seek the woman". It is used when a man behaves unusually or gets into a quarrel or other difficulty and the reason for it is sought.

'Cherchez la femme' is sometimes mistakenly thought to refer to men's attempts to pursue romantic liaisons with women. In fact, the phrase, which is occasionally used in its loose English translation 'look for the woman', expresses the idea that the source of any given problem involving a man is liable to be a woman. That isn't to say that the woman herself was necessarily the direct cause of the problem, as in Shakespeare's Macbeth for instance, but that a man has behaved stupidly or out of character in order to impress a woman or gain her favour.
