I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

in transition, music lover, knowledge seeker, singer, writer, poet, loving, trusting, happy...
Proud member of...
I am better prepared for my future than the generation before me
I am from a maternal lineage that has been labeled crazy more than once
Because who they were was too much for people to handle
Like candles burning brightly in the middle of a hurricane.
The wind fights the flame but doesnt put it out.
I am that same eternal flame.
It burns in my blood and I will pass it on to my daughters;
Strength and wisdom, courage and fear.
Cos just because God is close, doesnt mean the devil isn't near.
And the neighborhood I'm from shelters mothers and suns, churches and guns, bums and queens
I am always among Queens,
And though sometimes I am not acting royaly.
Confusing stubborn attachment with loyalty.
Ignoring my values for the value of a man who could never put me first.
I had to learn to quench my own thirst before I try to satiate another
But now my lover is a brother who knows our worth
Works through the hurt and wears his heart on his shirt
Cos honesty's the policy that's best
And I'm too complex an individual
For 'about me' to be that simple
..
