The Chess Player
No one knows me for real. My friends and even family have no clue. I dont open up. I'm like a stuborn rose bud that just wont open.There is a wonderful beauty inside me that I just will not show.
A friend said, "I love you rica." So I said, "you too." Then he asked me, "Why are you so bitter? Why wont you say i love you?"
My problem is that I'm too much of a chess player in life. I think of the next possible moves before I make my move. I'm never spontaneous because I'm afraid of the possible outcomes.
I cried when I said I love you to this guy because I truely meant it. I said this after five years and a mishap and he didnt realize my feelings or maybe I just waited too long.That was what I was afraid of all along.When I realized I had missed out on him I felt the need or obligation to let him know that I always felt this way about him.
I've always felt that the words "i love you" were very powerful and that they shouldnt be thrown around or passed out to just anyone.It's just the chess player in me. Luv and LOVE are two different feelings.
The thing is... I cant even play a game of chess if I tried. So, maybe thats why im so great at ruining my chances... by thinking to much on things that are obvious.

I Smile Yet I Frown
I smile yet i frown b/c i love wat we're doing but i wonder if it just may be a little too much.
I smile yet i frown at the complete joy u bring me when we are together yet the thought of EVER loosing u makes me want to shed a tear.
I smile yet i frown knowing that my love for u is unconditional yet i know to the "rules" of love we may not adhere.
I smile yet i frown knowing that i mean alot to u but i may never be ur number one.
I smile yet i frown knowing u love me but wondering if our love like a gun...firing off the last round and then its done?
I smile yet i frown when i look at u and instantly become happy but in the back of my mind there's a uncontrolable fear.
I smile yet i frown knowing that our future is closer, yet the past is undeniably ALWAYS near.

A Kiss
i want to tell you how i want to be loved and how to love me but i cant do that because its all up to you.
the silence kills me as i watch you slowly fade away.
yet im still stuck with only one foot over the threshold.
its like half of me is stuck on something that is no longer there.
the feeling of an irrepressible love with that same love unrequited is so numbing.
i love u so much ive become insane.
i miss everything that may have never even been.
i have come to reality, no more padded rooms for me.
i now understand that this love i yearn for is futile.
together we will always stand but together we will never be.
i know something is missing because a kiss says everything.
-Arica Rae'Shon M.
Physically We Yield
slowing down time as if we had control.
knowing that in the end only the truth can be told.
everything has an experation date.
we just aren't sure of how long.
how long before it's me without you, and you without me, so then we're alone.
creating walls we quickly rebuild as one is demolished.
love, unlike silver it can never be perfectly polished.
mentally and spiritually we move on, quickining our pace.
but physically we yeild.
knowing logically with life vs love...
we could never win that race.
-Arica Rae'Shon M.
Lonley
how do i feel lonley even when you're right next to me
you're not here with me.
you're presense is so unreal.
i create this love in my head.
this love that can only exist within me.
unrecognizable to you.
inconceivable to others.
how can you be near yet so far.
how can i be so in love yet so lonley.
-Arica Rae'Shon M.
With You
with him love is so complicated.
with you love is always easy.
with him complaints are near.
with you complaints don't exist.
with him there's always inconsistancy.
with you I can count on love never changing.
with him I'm afraid to show all of me.
with you I'm accepted completely.
with him there's an excuse.
with you there's always the truth.
with him I'm partial.
with you I'm whole.
-Arica Rae'Shon M.
Speechless
I'll start off with a concept,
but then I'm unable to find the words to explain how I feel.
I'm constantly confused by you.
You piss me off,
but then you do the sweetest things,like
call me out of no where just to say baby I love you.
Then I'm just stuck on the phone not knowing what to do.
Constantly skeptical,
I said I'd never.
But it is true.
Baby I love u too.
But there's just somethng that makes me speechless when it comes to u.

Sewing Kit
I wasnt so sure of HIS capabilities, but HE sat down and glued every piece back together.
HE made everything just seem better.
But in return I backed up and let another clumsily hold onto my heart, taking a few of the pieces and whom im sure has no intentions on returning them.
So I filled those holes with music and writing.
But ill always remember HIS beautiful words,
THAT ONE with the mending glue.
THAT ONE that agreed to fall with me no matter what.
THAT ONE that helped me understand the true beauty in words.
THAT ONE that helped me out more than HE'LL ever know it.
Again im standin at HIS door, but this time with the cloth to patch up my heart with.
Im just hoping that HE has a sewing kit...
-Arica Rae'Shon M.
The Best thing Possible
The wonderful recognition of the lost one.
The smile gleeming accross your face just at the thought.
The happiness behind a mystery.
The feeling of nothingness, left holding tightly to a vague memory.The wishing, so hard, for just a moment to replenish it.
The time period where you think you have it all back.
The clock unwinds and again its inncorrect.
The frustration as you try to grasp for a reality.
The loathsome filling at the truth, its just immpossible to take it over THIS threshold.
To awake in a cold surrounding of fear and confusion.
To a recognition that the best thing possible was a dream, just a mere illusion.

Are These The Reasons Why You're Really Mad?
I stuck with you no matter what.
I didnt think I was too cute.
I was smart.
I was funny.
I was down to earth.
I was understanding.
I was a beautiful person inside and out.
I didnt doubt you as much as you expected.
I accepted you for you.
I forgave you for sh*t that a lot of females would have left you for.
I was loyal to you, and NEVER once cheated on you, no matter what we went through.
You left all of that because...?
I looked at you through a clear glass and not the blurry one that was created by the people around us and I believed in you.
But you didnt believe in me?

Space and Time
I'm so in love with space and time and space and time seemed to be so in love with me too.
But you see, space and time didn't have time or space for me.
I would set out time for space and space for time.
But due to space and time recreation for our love was always available.
But you see, space and time didn't have time or space for me.
Time would go by and space would shrink.
Space would re-open and time added back to the clock.
But you see, space and time didn't have time or space for me.
Removal of feelings because due to time and space those things were unavailable.
Multiplication of the previous additions to my heart because it seemed like this is what time and space needed.
But you see, space and time didn't have time or space for me.
Creation, only in the imagination, of an unborn child but my body didn't have space or time for things like that.
Realization that my soul and heart refused to completely accept or remove time and space.
But you see, space and time didn't have time or space for me.
I was so in love with space and time, and I thought that space and time was so in love with me too.
All of these possibilities now becoming deconstructions, have me now knowing that space and time...
Just didn't have time or space for me.

Really Real Males
Moms mighta brought you up alone. When you was younger you mighta had a good head on. But shit changed up when you thought you was grown. Mama said, if you aint gone do what she say,then ya dead wrong. Oh, n da nigga you call daddy, he always been gone.
Only do you understand when its in a rhyme.Dat aint the only way, on da corner trynna sale a dime.Knowin dat wat you doin could get you some time.Gotta get dat lil bitch, oh damn she fine. Trynna beat ya boy, imma get it this time.
In da studio trynna make a track.thinkin next thing you know ill be a rap star,bro its MY turn at bat. you knw da best? yea, when i get like dat. i swear i aint turnin back.
Jus heard ya boy got shot for some highschool beef, You trynna make dis money so ya lil sister aint have ta be no theif. Trynna block reality by rollin up purple leaves. Only feelin safe sometimes, n dats when you gotcha heat.
Braggin bout how you fucked dis bhadd chick 'round da corna tanight.locked up da next, damn her pussy was tight.
tellin ya mama itll be awrite.tired of seein her cry cuz, for her, shit jus aint right. But youll be damned if you go down with out a fight. Thinkin, when i get dis money shit'll get right,mama i swear i gotchu, ill buy you anything you like.
You hold ya head up. You throwin ya hood up. Standin outside hopin dis time you get good luck. Cuz, the same place, you tired of bein stuck.
You remember when ya mama said you could be anything you wanted to be. Now you sayin i be damed if i go out just a memory. You tell her you love her and dont worry bout me.So she ask you ta change up, you quickly say, sorry but dis me.You jus havent got da memo dat theres bigger better things.They havent told you? it dont cost ta have goals n dream.
Yes I know that it is hard to see yourself doing anything but what you know, da streets.
But i guarantee if you devote yo time to other things, "da system," you'll beat.

Really Real Females
My ladies: need to understand that all you see is NOT what you need to be. Ashmed to be you. Wearing what everyone else is wearing. Doing what everyone else is doing. Exchanging your morals for a "cute" dude. Pumping your body full of things that dont matter much once you're gone. Feeling like you're not worthy of all that is sane, good, beautiful, and worthy of a god or goddess. Competing to stay in the game of what dude's attention can i earn next. Unwilling to educate yourself for the fear of being too smart. What does too smart mean anyway? But they say you can never have too many clothes,shoes, accessories, etc. Not realizing that a REAL man wants an intellectual female that can hold her own. Unlike those material things and your boyfriend of the week that can be gone in the blink of an eye, if you have an education it aint goin anywhere.
You dont even knw what the meaning or what it looks like to be a lady.
"Well damn maybe i never got taught."
You dont need to be taught, teach yourself.
"Dont you think I tried."
Not hard enough, you cant tell me that you think there is anything right about sweatin in a club wearin nothin but your draws, a bra and a vest.
"It aint lady like but I was cute tho."
Cute, thats not cute by any means. Besides if you see yourself as a woman dont you think cute is out of your legue?
"No."
Well maybe you should focus on being beautiful. You know you can pride yourself and dress like you have some sense of sophistication. That beauty dosent only have to be preserved for prom, funerals, or when you've put in a job application.
"Dont nobody wanna wear heels all day"
But you'll wear them all night to a club or party, and who said you had to wear heels. Heels arent the only thing that can make you look good, you make you look good.
All in the camera for facebook and other sites. Titties hanging all out, and for what? to draw a little attention. There are other ways to get attention. Positive attention at that! To tell the truth some of these females are unknowingly broke hoes, just making pornos/porno magazines, posting them on the internet and not getting paid for it. No im not saying try to get paid for it. Im saying stop doing it. If you feel like you need to get naked for the world wide web, then you might as well walk around naked all the time.
If you sit down and pay attention, Im not trying to bash anyone. Im just putting everything they do in writting. Maybe if they see it in black and white, itll simplify it all. Maybe they'll understand that some where inside, they have a crucial piece of themselves that is missing or maybe just wounded. Ladies, dont be so willing to give yourself to someone that is only willing to take from you. If it takes for you to be alone to realize that your are valuable, then so be it. When its all said and done and no ones around you have these things: you, your love for yourself, your dignity, your respect, and your education.

Seductive Resentment: Chapter 1 & 2

Come On People!!!
Kids these days have no respect for their elders let alone themselves. Parents have lost control. This explains why kids are having kids. And why young men are growing up to be Children. Women complain that their kids have dead beat fathers, yet they're raising their son to do the same. "my baby dont have to do nothin he dont want to!..." instilling this in their childs mind makes them believe this.
Then when their son is still livin with his mama at the age of 47 and bringing home Shay'Micca, Lawanda, and Chastity with his eleven kids. They get mad cause their "baby" isnt doing anything to take care of his children and mama is doing it all.
And these little girls are trying to grow up too soon. Having sex at the age of 9 and 10! I mean they probably dont even have sex ed class yet and they already havin sex. Yes i know that parents are always reluctant to talk about sex with their "little girl" but parents need to realize that these days are full of technology and easy access to sexually explicit information. so they need not be afraid to let their children know about sex and ALL the consequences that come along with the infamous "IT." Parents need to know that while they think little Sindy is asleep she is really up sexting or googling porn. Im not trying to create trust issues im just being blunt.
Teens today are so ignorant. They think they know it all. A boy tells them "i luv u" and they think its time to drop their panties. Luv is not Love and real Love can and will wait. Teens need to be more focused on education and making something of themselves. Life is not all about sex, drugs, and partying. This false belief also explains why kidsare raising the next generation.
It may seem as if im blaming only the parents, but im not. Since when did the kids become the authority in a household?
Then people want to take their kids to the doctor and get them diagnoised with A.D.D, A.D.H.D, or Bi-polar Disorder. When there is nothing wrong with the child. Its just an excuse not to have to disipline their child and actually be a parent. Yea... get the child high to the point of no return so you can deal with them. Yea ok... thats the way to be a parental guardian. Society needs an epiphany and soon... I mean COME ON PEOPLE!!!

Runnin'
For this race was set up by the man of creation.
I speed up and I get slowed down.
There's a hurdle n I swear they just keep getting bigger now.
I'm runnin and I can't catch my breath.
Breathing has now just become yet another test.
I watch as all the people go by.
Some at my pace and some leaving me behind.
I know its ok because I'm running with the best.
I'm runnin' this race, but but in reality I'm runnin it by myself.
I don't know the length and I don't know the time.
I just know I'm runnin so that I can keep away from its bind.
For if u don't run you'll see wat I mean.
Cause LIFE will catch up soon and you'll just keep wishin you could redeem.
Burnt Out
Our communication skills leave us at a dead end slowly spiraling to a trough.
Our mouths say we know what we want.
But in the end we're just sure of what we don't.
If I don't talk to u and u don't talk to me.
Then of course the course will have taken its course but we won't know where we'll be.
Its more about our actions.
Yet we constantly focus on the distractions.
Will we BOTH ever understand the concept?
I ponder the possibilites as I let my eyes burn out like a candle with no wick left.
