today I am not a woman today today I am not a womantoday I am not a woman today by ~tinyBrocks
today I am a man
what little femininity I had
was stripped away
in the sleepless morning
when he took my skirt
and my pants
leaving me with none
and it that moment
the time spent in the mirror
that sleepless morning was useless
and long hair that took so long
to brush
was shoved under hat
and earrings were torn out
because pretty GIRLS wear earrings
breast concealed
in the hopes that today others would see
and know
that today I am not a woman
nor a girl
nor really even a man
I am a boy.

Bad poemFor youBad poem by ~tinyBrocks
you make me unpretty
you compare and contrast
me to her
her to me
forwards and back
and you do it in ways
that others can't see
not only through grades
and appearances
but through your constant degradation of me
as if i was the land
and she was the sea
but despite you the critic
she and me are one
like the earth and the sky
we are connected my
friend we are together
both hurt by your words
both hurt by your tone
we both stutter and groan
at the way that you hurt us

hip hop
too street
flip flop
not enough
rap feeds me
soulfully

black friends
white face
it's not about color
its not about race
it's about attitude
but it's skin too
black boy here
try to be street
Have you been on the ground?
way too neat
I know my street boys
leave here now
but I'm just a stranger
crashin in on the crowd
playtime
daytime
make believe
pants on the ground
means prison leave
