I wrote this poem a long time ago, a really long time ago, ya feel me?!

you swear like you know.

you're unbelieveable you are

walking around like you know whats up

its a shame you dont know the harm you elude

you see and then you believe

but theres more to what you think you know

 

remember memories last a life time

and i have a life time of memories

things so shady so hazy and unclear

that ive concluded to only one thing

and that is for all that you've known me for

from birth to this breath 

you only know what u've seen and what ive allowed

for you to know

 

what hinders inside is just as important

like the rest.

 

retract your steps

retract your moves your words and words unsaid.

its what you didnt do that left me bruised.

 

and yet i pity you and i pity me

because we are one and the same you and i.

 

Because,

 

although we may never really see eye to eye

you are the one who gave me the color to my eyes

and yet we fight and argue for days at a time

you are the strength in my voice and the courage in my fight.

you see, even though we dont ever get along

the love and respect i have for you  lasts everlong.

 

(written for my madre, my mother.)
