We Made A Promise

We Made A Promise

We made a promise,
That if you ride for me then i'ma die for you,
And if I ride for you then you gone die for me,
but i'm the only one who held theirs till the end.

I held my own.
I took care of mine,
lived for mine,
and loved mine.
Because you were my own.

But mine,
didn't hold his own,
take care of his own,
live for his own,
or even love his own,
because you didn't think of me... as your own.

You were supposed to,
hold me up while I held you down,
ride for me cause you know I was riding for you.
And you know that if we ever got into some shit,
I'd have your back quicker than your boys do!
Cause I loved you!

We made a promise,
That if you ride for me then i'ma die for you,
And if I ride for you then you gone die for me,
but i'm the only one who held theirs till the end.
But, what happened with you?

The Untitled Poem

The Untitled Poem

Now you see,
my name is Christina,
my talent is writing poetry..
And ....and....
Oh yeah!
I just turned fourteen!

Now you see,
I'm a middle school poet,
ha!
And you didn't even know it ..
But I think ill cut it with the corny jokes now,
because it just isn't me.

I've been flipped upside down,
but it's okay because now I'm right side up.
Now I only need your attention for another minute.

I have more enemies than I have friends,
But I don't understand.
How can that be?
Only because your old best friend has a new best friend,
and the groups of best friends want nothing to do with me.

But I won't let it bother me no more.
Because I have a pen and this paper,
and I spend more time in my room than I do outside!
Yes, I'm still exercising!
Exercising my mind!

And I know it won't always rhyme but I just gotta go with it sometimes.
Now I've learned,
that throught writing down a few lines,
I can finally know what its like to shine,
because this is my only talent,
my only grind,
and my only place to shine.

I'm a poet,
and you finally know it.

And now you can see,
that I've shined,
over a thousand times.
