Friends - Lesson Of Life To V Poem by Coreena Dejesus

V Sweet his own worst enemy looks in the mirror,
His life guidance he wishes was more clearer.
Washes his face and brushes his teeth,
A girl watching thinking there’s more underneath.
She listens to his story and hears his past,
From the ones he loved to the pieces of azz.

She pounders what she knows about this man,
Thinking back to how he said he began.
A country cat not growing up on the block,
Keeps his money in check and jays on stock,
So much different from her but so much the same,
She thinks back to how she became.

A woman that’s been through some things,
Had relationships and some flings.
Has lived in bliss and has lived in sin,
Lives behind a wall not letting people in.
Had a childhood that is dark and sick,
And never has fell into a certain click.

She figures that V Sweet tells the truth,
Smiles when she hears about his youth.
A good church boy that didn’t do any wrong,
Figuring out life as he went along.
Came into his own and whiled out,
Not knowing what life was all bout.

Found himself looking at paper one day,
Then a DUI struck outraged to his dismay.
Path changes lessons to be taught,
Everyone has fun until there caught.
A figure of his own personal destruction,
Learning from lessons his only obstruction.

He has goals he tells this curious soul,
She listens to his projected roll.
He has his image of a “perfect girl” in mind,
Woman with children he’s been doomed to find.
She thinks he has to love himself before he searches,
Because his own worst enemy he still curses.
