Linda A Poems

i look up to a black universe
then down at dirty bare feet
there must be nothing worse
than feelin the darkness inside of me
...

My arms reach for heaven
but my feet are firmly rooted in hell
I'd like to escape the fire
but i'm not doing well
...

I apologize for relying so heavily on you
I’m sorry for the times I put on or withdrew
I never meant to confuse or push you away
I heard people talk but who were they
...

I wish I had sent you that message
I'll never have the chance again
I thought you'd always be there
I never thought til when
...

I want to experience freedom like borders don't exist
to experience life like time no longer persist
to live humbly and die gracefully
to accept who I am and be proud
...

I want this alone feeling to go away
So I can rule the day
I curse the day
I live to say
...

Born and raised under smoke towers
I grew up on soil that greed powers
Wealth sours - round here are found no flowers
When it rains, I advise you to avoid the showers
...

Days left unlived
Truths left unspoken
- a pain like this
Leaves a person broken
...

thank you god for the blunts
and for making me fend for my own
praise the prophets for this hunt
and all that they wrote in stone
...

a hole so deep
really scars a heart this weak
killing me from the inside
fasting, ipecac, pain, I lied
...
