Be Careful

Be careful who you trust
They just may not have your best interest at heart
Lies are deceitful
Deception is planned from the start
Blinded by the dark
You fail to see what is false
You become numb and all of your senses began to dissolve
Once you've seen through the thick and hazy fog
Everything becomes clear
After the one you trust
Is nowhere near
Disappeared
It hurts
Now you live in fear
It burns
It cuts so deep
That now the first thing you look for in people is deceit
Paranoia becomes a part of the day to day life
You begin to turn on the lights, when it is already bright
The effects of someone can affect your whole life
Causing for you to think twice
Be careful who you trust
Be aware of who you trust
Be careful

Unrecognized Beauty

132 
Eyes of baby blue 
Sitting on a pair of thighs 
that makes her 5'5 
A body that makes the fellas tongues wet; and their lips dry 
Hair touching her waist 
And a slightly curled bang to accentuate her face 
Body built to perfection 
Everyone calls her from the models to the ballers 
But all she wants is a man to just call her.. 
Beautiful 
See all her life she's been nothing but an expensive vase 
Beautiful on the outside 
But nothing within 
Every relationship dealt with lust 
And the question she asked only involved the word "us" 
But that was to much for chuck 
So he dodged and ducked 
Her questions and proceeded to corrupt her innocence 
Her intelligence is never recognized 
Because it is overshadowed by her "Thick" thighs 
Her talent is never recognized 
Because No one can see past her exotic blue eyes 
So she sits and fears that the truth can only be discovered 
Through the tears 
That which she cries
