what is there for me to do?

what is there for me to do?
Posted By: Janae Carey on June 24, 2007


I try to stay calm,
breathe in and out.
But you put me through the impossible.
I keep it inside,
Don't want to be a charity case.
I keep it inside,
Casue i dont use my struggle as a excuse.
As I try to hide the Angry Black Syndrome
as I become more angry inside.


Why can't I just lash out one time,
what force is pulling me not to?
Can't cry no more, tears all gone.
Tryin not to turn back to who I was
i'm tryin to show that I am strong.
But as I do that i continue to lie.
Can't turn left or right
Scared to look forward
and not allowed to look back.
Internally committing suicide
cause I'm afraid.
What is there for me to do?

Deep... Well hello there Ms. Poet, I'm not surprised at all.
Not even Ms. Maya Angelou can write the way You are meant to write.
Think about it.
Keep up that Gift that You have that no one can take away but You hiding it.
Take care Sis
