Bacon Says...Ketchup

So I fell behind in blogging just because it kept slipping my mind. So, I'm gonna play catch-up tonight and post the missing links (blogs). So I was trying to do that whole National Poetry Writing Month thing but I feel behind. Somewhere along the way I lost the fuel to my fire. It kinda sucks but then again it's a great thing because the very thing that was stressing me out was riding on this one person and we finally had a talk that resulted in me hanging up in their face....they pissed me off! But now I can finally focus on better things, rather than people who aren't worth my time.  Back to NaPoWri, here are two of the last poems I wrote in honor of NaPoWri Month. The 1st one was inspired by a mother and son I kno and a poem she wrote for her son that I LOVE! The second was actually something I wrote for the person I am no longer friends with...shaking my head!


MIXED EMOTIONS
Find your culture my child
embrace you heritage full force
be proud of your mixed up background
embrace it all with no remorse
embrace them no matter how different
as different as they may all be
for we are all mixed up in some way
we all are some how family
Dont let you skin color define you
dont let them to you what to be
find out what's mixed up inside of you
make your own self identity
define yourself not by your struggles
and not by your tribulations or trials
make your own mark in history
leave a trail with triumphs for miles
Find your culture my child
embrace you heritage full force
be proud of your mixed up background
embrace it all wth no remorse
Say it LOUD, I'm mixed and I'm PROUD :)

SONG BIRD
Sing me a song little bird
Brighten my day with angelic chimes
Allow me to sway with the wind to your rhythm
Don’t rush our moment just take your time
Don’t fly away just land in my presence
Stay here with me and keep me company
Come to my window and sing in my presence
Sing my a lullaby and sing me to sleep
Take me to heaven on this sweet journey
Make me forget all my burdens today
Show me the path on which I should be traveling
Don’t ever let me walk astray
Tell me little song bird how it is to be free
Tell me what it feels like as you sing constantly
Please little song bird don’t ever cease
Tell me the truth of how things will be
Sing me a song little song bird
Share with me all your sights
to me please foretell the future
For as I am I cannot not fly
I wish to be like the song bird
living free as can be
So teach me how to fly little bird
Teach me a song to sing
