This Is Me

All of these poems are orginal (by: Charmisa AKA waffles)

One thing that a lot of people don't know about me is that I love to write poems. Some of my best poets are Nikki Giovanni, Saul Williams, and of course myself! Here are some of my poems from the year 2006.

What makes us so different?
Date:May.16,2006

Why can't I walk down the street without being beat?
why can't I eat food that don't taste like feet?
why can't I sit at the dinner table and talk about the good
things with my family?
is it because of the color of my skin and the texture of
my hair or the roughness of my hands?
do you think I'm different from you because of the color
of my eyes or from width of my hips or because my skin is not the color of yours........?
But when you sit back and look at the reality of things your the colored one because when your mad you turn red and
when your bused you turn purple and when you hold your
breath you turn blue.
No matter the color black, white, orange, purple, or gray
where all the same so people should stop with all of
this racist shit and come together and be one.

My black women!
Date:April.23,2006

My black women!
we came a long way
from slaves to Shields.
My black women!
stand on your two feet
and be proud of what you went
through to get here.
My black women!
get up and put a smile on
your face just because of your race
and chase your dreams.
My black women!
it's time to feel as free as you are
and sour like a bird
and whenever things get to hard, keep
going because that's letting you know
that people are watching you achieve.
My black women!
it's time to say hello to a new life
and spared the word
that were FINALLY FREE!

A new day
Date:April.22,2006

Drop all of your pass life things
and live to move on with your future,
Just learn from your mistakes.
Look at life as a new day every time
you wake up and get out of the bed.
Don't let other people stop you from being
successful because it will only hurt you and not the people that are stomping you down.
So do you and live life as a new day
EVERYDAY!

Trapped in my skin
Date:April.19,2006

I'm like a old pin with no ink
i used to the brighest one of the bunch, until i feel into
the hands of the wrong person.
to bad i can't change , but i know one thing, i can make myself look and
feel brand new.
my emotions,
they'll be the same.
my heart,
it won't stop beating.
and for my soul,
i no it won't bail.
shit, i wanna be a snail when she get's her new shell,
hard as a diamond, can't nobody knock me off my rock!
trapped in my skin!
give me my pin
you see the only thing that changed was my shell
and i look good!
