Miss Wright




















If doing your job isn't your job
Then what are you here to do?
Why not just quit, and stay your ass home
So that I won't have to look at you

No one held you at gunpoint, and made you apply
To become a C. O. in this jail
But a career change might be an option for you
If you have issues changing channels, and passing out mail

Or are you just here to boss people around
To help life up your low self esteem
Well, I'm sorry your life didn't turn out as planned
Because working here could not have been your dream

It's not my fault that you hate your job
You should have gotten some more education
Or applied at the shipyard, became an apprentice
And picked up a trade or vocation

I know it's probably hard, to be who you are
And at your age not know how to read or write
But that's still not my fault, and keeping it real
Check your fucked up attitude before coming back tonight

It was a struggle and I really didn't have anyone to go before me to set the stage, but though it all I stuck to it and accomplished my goal. My degree proudly hangs in my aunt's house and I have a copy in my room to remind me of what I've done. It was one of my proudest moments even though I didn't get to attend my own graduation (another story). I'm proud of how I'm dealing with my mental issues. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago and it's been a struggle to cope with the ways my emotions and my mood changes. For the past year or two I've done well though. It's not an easy fight but I'm committed to beating this thing and not allowing it to ruin my life or my relationships. I'm proud of myself for starting a fledgling business. It's only a resume writing business but it's somethi...

I Miss

I miss falling asleep with his locs in my face And my hand rubbing across his belly I miss white seedless grapes, and Welch's Fruit Snacks And my favorite, peanut butter and jelly I miss all my music, Jill Scott and Badu Tupac, Outkast and Queen Bey I miss having windows, seeing the trees For real I must miss being free I miss Uncle Wendell, may he rest in peace I miss my girlfriends and my crew I miss Aunt Bert's breakfast, bacon, eggs and toast I miss looking up and seeing the sky is blue I miss all my clothes, my closet and my room I miss all my books and my art I miss seeing frames with pics of my family Even though they are etched in my heart I miss being able to walk to the store Or to the field to watch the boys and girls play I miss all the familiar slang and speech Like "jamk", "lightning bugs" and "Out the way" I miss everything and almost everyone My dreams remind me of it every night But soon enoug...

Still me. Fuck you.
