Poetic Justice : 52 Special Edition

Locked in a cage within myself. Wondering when will I be let free. The decision is up to me. The cage doesn't have any bars so there's nothing keeping me in. I'm locked up within myself. I need to let myself be free. I need to let my mind explore the possibilities. But I'm trapped in this cage all alone. I see no one. I hear nothing. Its only me. What am I to do? There's nothing I can do. No one can assist me because no one has the answer but me. I look up and I see something strange. Something I have never seen before. So I lay on the ground, staring at the sky wondering what is in the sky thats puzzling me? I can't ignore what I see. So I count. One star. . . Two stars. . . Three stars. . . Damn only three stars in the sky?? How can that be? What does that mean? I have no clue. Unless I open my mind and let be free. Oh, ok now I see. One is her. One is him. And one is me. Star one is the shorty that's going to be good to me. Always hold me down, no matter how difficult life may be. Star two is my unborn seed that's going to excel farther than me. Have bigger dreams and exceed in life beyond his wildest dreams. Star three is a wise man with the mind of a champion and the heart of a lion. The cage? My mind. I held back the gift of thought. Now I can be free. I have let my mind explore. I am out of this so called cage. I now see what this life has to offer me. A life of good health. A life of wealth. Until that day comes I will be patient. I now have a peace of mind. No longer am I locked in this cage within myslef.

If you don't know about Brook Yung yet then you must have been sleeping under a rock. Dude is talented! Sprite has come up this amazing idea to release these commercials as an AD for the 2010 NBA Slam Dunk contest by using poets or some people might know them as "SLAM Poets" which is a style of competitive poetry amongst poets. Smart move Sprite.

Poetic Justice : 47

Alone at night gazing at the stars.
I chose one & said thats my star.
Night after night I would look into the sky.
Never dissapointed because my star was always there.
Brightest ive ever seen & sitting up there so high.
I talk to the star, I laugh with the star,
I even cry with the star.
That star is something special.
Good times or bad times, I knew I could count on my star.
Never disappointed because the star was always there.
But then one night the star went from a far distance to
getting closer & closer to me.
Within an instance the star entered my world.
The star that I once gazed at in the sky is no longer in the sky.
That star is now sitting by my side.
Now we look in the sky together seeing no more stars.
just us,
chillin' in our own world.

his love for her is endless ;
the way he looks at her is mysterious ;
how she feels about him is so compelling .. .
the way they are two different people ..
makes it beautiful .
she accepts his flaws as he does hers .. .
she is the only one for him .
her knowing that makes her heart melt ,
so they maintain to stay strong. ..
someday ill feel the same thing ,
someday he'll sweep me off my feet ,
he'll show me how he cares ,
he'll accept me for me & not care what anyone
else thinks .. .
he'll be perfect ,
he would be my weakness .. .
Ive been waiting for him , & he knows im here.
he just hasn't found me yet.
or found himself .. .

or maybe hes afraid to have someone
love him for who he is back .. .

just maybe .. .

This is a re-post from earlier this year around Valentines Day. Felt like this is such a strong piece that i had to post it again. Love is a strong word & It shouldn't be used lightly at all. When someone professes their love to you; accept it and really think if you can give the same love back. There comes a time when the feeling is no longer mutual so it is your responsibility to keep the love alive and growing. Don't allow it to fade away. Grab it before its too late.
