The Bottom

By
Days have come and gone
and yet my heart still feels incomplete.
Half there, half missing
as I embark on this journey
of endurance called life and self discovery.

I've managed to stay afloat,
to keep my head above water
even as the chaotic waves
        jerk
me
             around
   violently.

Constantly thrown                by the weight of
                               off track

the pressure I feel to make it.
So many times where I want
nothing more than to stop swimming...








Yes there are times when I want nothing more
than to sit it stillness
and wait as I see how long for those life
altering waves to consume me.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Will it be success or will it be one
disastrous storm after another,
destroying everything in its path until
there's no longer any hope to lose.

Me and Mr. Hollywood - Chapter 5

By
It was still pretty early for the club when we got there, so there wasn't too much craziness going on inside. Bella spotted someone she knew off towards the back corner of the club and grabbed me to start walking without a word. "You see Toya and Cherry," I asked in confusion. Bella seemed super excited to get to whoever it was she had peeped. "No girl, it's my other home girls I told you we was gon click up wit." "And who the fuck are they," I asked in disgust. I already knew Bella had invited other friends out with us, but I didn't like meeting new people. As sweet and warm as I was, I had a mean petty streak. I hated meeting new bitches in the club and I was in no mood to be out with a large group. I was always doing any and everything for Bella's spoiled ass. I was more than disappointed that Toya and Cherry weren't there first. I should have expected the other bitches though because that was just my luck. "Hey girls! You ...

Me and Mr.Hollywood - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Donovan had backed me into a corner, literally. I hadn’t noticed that I started to back away from him until I backed into the dining room table adjacent to his kitchen. He looked down and smiled at me as I stumbled into the table and I couldn’t even blame him. I had gotten so jumpy since he started this awkward conversation and I was acting really nervous.. His eyes continued to gaze into mine, burning with such an intense passion. Donovan had never looked at me like this before but I knew the look well. After all of the time we’ve spent together I had become all too familiar with Donovan’s ways with the ladies. He used the exact same look when he would look at women he was trying to seduce. Not just any women but the women who threw themselves at his feet shamelessly for one night of bliss with a movie star. He would give this particular look full of lust and desire to the women he wanted to lay with him at night. And he knew the power behind his gaze. He was not ignorant...

Devil's Persistence

By
You're so eager and green. You grin from ear to ear as your eyes pierce through mine. You're excitement nearly impossible to contain. You're child like glee takes ahold of the block of ice resting where my heart once used to be. But only for a moment and then it okay. Only for a second. Did you catch hold of my attention A slight smile barely engraved in my face until I realize I'm staring at a demon Deep within your gaze, lies the spirit of the devil... Patiently waiting for that window of vulnerability to open itself. He wants to enter inside...he'll make it seem that it's to nurture and to grow when the truth is he simply wants to destroy you With a monster thirsty for flesh resting within his britches, he intends to slay you. He finds satisfaction in the woman too blinded by the phallus to realize when she's under attack. He walks in appearing like royalty but I've never been attracted to the flash Draped in jewels that glitte...
