Broken Friendship

Have you ever been so lonely? but wait..
Have you ever had the opposite when
Being alone was an idea that was preposterous
Having people there when you need them
Anything they say you can believe them
You can actually trust them
You can actually love them
How can someone betray you when you hold
No one above them....Give your self
Selflessly and selfishly people take
Those that are fake cry to easy at the wake
Look around you now it's just you and the
Lake.....Try to reach for a friend
and they easily slip away
Too much help helps you not to help yourself
So tell me is it better to be
by yourself.

The Good Black Father


Why don't you believe me I never hit her it's possible she's lying
my love she craves but I'm denying
I can't see my child why
love no longer lives in our eyes
but it's still fresh in hers let me be with my baby girl
I don't want to be with you so you take away my world so cruel
and so mean for 18 years I have an enemy on my team
you had them lock me up and throw away the key
I'm a black man all they see is guilty I tried to explain
I wasn't the same but my skin made my efforts in vain
Seven months without seeing my child you still get support
but of her growth her voice her thoughts I get no report
the law works in your favor
blind to the misbehavior
what can I do just pray day by day
and hope if I don't see my daughter
now then hopefully later
Daddy loves you, baby. . . .
