Race

Ready Set Go Off Goes The Gun Now Its Time To Run But I’m Pacing Myself, While I Have This Image Of MLK Speech. This Image Of KKK In White Sheets, Are We Still Living In That Society Young Kids Dying Can’t Describe This Feeling Inside Me, What Can I Do For My Generation And The Next Having A Voice That Matters Or Take Matters Into My Own Hands. Is This Really The Land Of The Free “Ha” Nothing Is Free Not Even Your Freedom. So I Need Y’all To Lace Up Y’all Running Shoes And Join This Race With Me We Need To Be One To Cross That Line Faith Is What We Have So That Will Nva Die.

“New Birth”

It Was Hard Seening You In That Box,
Seem Like Yesterday We Were Kids Running Around In Our Socks,

When I Touchdown I Felt Your Spirit Letting Me Know “Ay Cuz Im Still Around”

I Know You In A Better Place Smiling Down,
You Were Living In A Place We Call Hell On Earth,
Now God Took You To Start A New Birth.

Speechless

Everything in the world to say
Lips wide shut, reminiscing a beautiful day
Start talking before she looks at you crazy, alright
Temptations running wild in your head, “oh baby baby”

Ever been speechless before?

Gazing in each other’s eyes while you watch her beautiful, glossed lips in motion second by second
Conversation is meaningful no need for guessing, I guess
Attention is taken by how her body is complimented by that dress

Speechless, not because of not knowing what to say, but due to the extraordinary, amazing beauty being presented in front of you
Beauty in the form of appearance, conversation, and grace

Speechless…

-Joshua N. Perkins

Inevitability

Only I can help you cope with your lows.
Just turn to me, I’ll take away your pain.
Let me out and you will have total control.

Ease your mind. Let your eyelids close.
I’ll now be playing the role of your brain.
Only I can help you cope with your lows.

Forgot to erase the white chalk from your nose,
Now your family is curious of your friend’s new name.
Let me out and you will regain total control.

As time passes, our relationships grows.
Now you are dependent on me to maintain.
Only I can help you cope with your lows.

Said I loved you, but it was just to steal your soul.
It’s a game. To get to the heart, you weaken the frame.
Only I can help you cope with your lows.
Let me out? I already haven taken total control.

A Beatless Heart

I want you to notice me
But the harder I try to get you to
The quicker you slip away from me
I guess Im not really meant for you

I wonder If reading this you’ll change
If you’ll actually turn around and look at me
But right now its all just a game
Maybe one day you’ll see

I made a promise to give you time
How long are you going to make me wait
Don’t you see how hard Im trying
I loved you from the very first day

I tried to move on from you
Is that what you do too
I’ve reached my hands out to you
Hoping you’d reach for mine too

You see, I know you’ll realize one day
I see your holding back alot
So I was wondering Is It okay
If I give away the rest of my beatless heart?

-It hurts to hold on to love when love will never love you back.

I WONDER

I Wonder How Life Would Be If He Walked On Earth. If He Was In The Delievry Room Helping With Birth. If He Was An Officer Stopping The Crime And Helping The Blind. I Wonder How He Feels About Life From Up Above Were He See All This Negativity But Also Forgives. When It Rains I Wonder If Those His Tears Of Fear Or Happiness. Nigel

WASH AWAY

Tears Form In My Eyes But Nothing Is Coming Down. I Guess That’s My Heart Crying Out. I Pray For Rain To Wash Away The Pain. The Light Turned To Dark When You Ran Away . No More Smiles To Brighten Up My Day. So Ima Just Sit Hear And Watch The Pain Wash Away.
