Poem: Unknown

by Akeem
 
what am I?
I am told that I don't belong
what am I ?
an outcast tossed to and fro?
what am I?
as I search the rest of me mentally and physically
what am I?
how do I fit onto the checker board of God and the devil
awaiting my turn to be played and checkmated
what am I ?
a ticking time bomb harm and destruction
what am I?
I can't seem to figure it out
what am I?
hmm I don't know...but I have something
to say
what am I....I don't know the answer still.....
unknown

Poem: My Heart

by Akeem

The heart is a house for many things
sometimes it overworks to take life all in
the choices we make affect it in a good or bad way
to heck with it all I say
sometimes I wish I could just go away or
maybe disappear to make my heart better
oh how I long for the day when the repair man
tapes my heart together again when
and maybe I will come to a happy end

Poem: How Many Times

by Akeem
  
how many times has a heart felt sadness
how many more can it be broken
how many times can i move it for u
how many times must honor and trust be shattered
how many times have i smelled that unfamiliar scent
how many times ..........
how many times ..........
