Ti'ara D. Perry Poems

They say once your in, there’s no way out
Unless you’re wounded in a bed, or six feet under ground
You step out into the streets
Getting shot, without a witness to see
...

joy is here
joy is there
it never fades
because we care
...

respect is something we give
because we love one another
but if we didn't have respect
would we still have a partner
...

she birthed you into this world
she raised you as if you were a diamond pearl
she taught you from right from wrong
the times she've spent with you were very long
...

a family should love
and share at times
but can be a pain
and sometimes lie
...

if you're honest
so help me God
im sick of you
telling these stupid lies
...

a cool and unusual person
who is he to me
a friend and i'll never hurt him
he's funny, slow, and emo
...

Dr. Martin Luther King had one special dream
That blacks and whites came together as one
But really this dream has just begun
When King was a child
...

why do you smoke
why do you drink
you always have to do it your way
why smoke crack
...

why do i hate you
why do you hate me
hate is a strong word
hate shouldn't be
...
