big

 walk in

big mad

not talkative


big upset


enrages me to see them in their happy little family

while my world is falling apart


when they need something 

I'm expected to drop everything to help them

when my household needs something

feels like an option, an annoying request


I needed a thermostat 

got told to go to the hospital

I needed laundry to get done

for 2 weeks now,

asked for help


it didn't happen


now I'm here

washing uniforms in her house

let's see if it happens


if not I'll go to work with black

and hope they don't fire me


simple things

laundry

where to live

getting to school on time

nothing is right right now


and now Venus wants to do a spontaneous bible study

no thank you


didn't know her back in my life would bring chaos

not that she isn't

but can't deal with people like that right now

wanting to force a result


I got the message thank you

don't need a thorn in my side


she'll probably get offended if she read this

giving me solutions that don't apply

get a plane ticket she said

I didn't want to ask, tia said to ask

I'm tired of people disappointing me lately


I rather not ask

so I have to ask for help from the people with which I don't feel safe


I hate this

I was in the bak of the lyft

thinking an ad could fix all this

flex online, make an online course

I don't see myself doing that


confidence, felt like a calling, I could sell that

I had a bag I had the clothes

I was trying to do it

get to Miami

can't even get a shower and look presentable


atlanta, same thing, sleep outside


the guy thought I was joking

I had nowhere to go

left me on the side of the road


I understand you can't help

I didn't ask you to,

didn't want to listen to my story


I always do have a lot to say


he judges me

and I judged myself

the relationship was always going to be one sided

he needs people he can lean on

he's not able to be leaned on

everything is on his terms


do his dishes

stay in his place that he's living there for free


at least he had his peace.


take all this anger make some money

Alfredo the pasta had nothing else to offer


why am I looking to broken people to fix me

the only people around, for real me

god be there he's got no choice

in the sense he made us


Sasha said respect my time

I can't help

how can I support you


I felt like I was frustrating my friends

my problems were burdens

does anyone ever call


can I just book a plane out of here

and figure it out somewhere else


I'm giving my last to this guy to pay this damn rent

its just going to his pockets

Hooking Up

When I was in college, there was something called 'hooking up.'  I'm not sure if people still use the term now, but back then it was an inconspicuous term. It could mean anything. When you asked your roommate, 'so what happened between you and the guy last night?'  And she would reply 'We hooked up.' It could mean anything from first base all the way up to home run.  It could mean a kiss, it could mean that they did it raw. Who knows?  You would have to ask a series of  follow-up questions to get to the bottom of what happened. I find it interesting in today's day and age the way women and men treat each other. Seems like no one wants responsibility. Where are the good men that stay until the morning and call the next day?  Where are the good women that can cook and keep a house? Does anyone know what do to after the hook up? It seems to me like our culture and hip-hop songs glamorize the temporary pleasures of sex without mentioning anything about r

I remember watching this show, and then reading a commentary.  The commentary said, seriously never move in with guys on an  apartment ad you found on craigslist.  How insane is that?  I thought. I would never do that! Then I got lawyered (How I Met  Your Mother reference). The situation of me having to get out of  the house by the 1st has me on a scavenger hunt for an apartment  in New Brunswick. Right now what's available (and that I can  afford)  is the place I saw yesterday with 2 guys (how desperate  am I that I  answered the ad?)  Location wise, it's cool. A  walk from Easton Ave and the train station but far enough that it's  still boom-docky).  It's like suburban except it's 15 minutes away  from the city, not half an hour.  So yeah $450 rent, utilities average  $15 to $20 a month. Doable for now.  Landlord wants 1k for  security. Oh chucks!   Waitressing left me with $30 yesterday. Let's  hope better for today (What happened to the $100 a day Jeff

Guess who?

This time of the year is feeling lonely. I cut off my hair and joined a gym. Am tired from lack of sleep. This is the new scandal: Manuel is not the father. Say What??? So I stayed up last night and we talked about it. He took it well (just like the first time) but he keeps the door open, then one that I have closed. Waiting patiently for my husband. I'm already 29. God take your time don't want to rush like before. Just want to sleep and feel more than lonely when I walk the streets. Baby crying in my ear, I'm tired. Applying for jobs and going outside in the coldest winter ever, with a baby and a stroller and getting yelled at by my mother who wants me to keep the baby (and therefore myself) inside all the time. But all the things I want are outside my comfort zone so go figure. Life, what do you have? Love, when will you come? I've stopped idolizing you and am settling for this feeling when I'm alone walking the streets. Baby is so sweet but I just w
