Fireworks on The 4th of July

I wrote this last summer. I got the idea to write this after watching fireworks on the fourth of July, so i guess that's what I'll call it, because it is untitled.

It was beautiful. So many colors, shapes, expanded its luminous colors that could be seen on every peak. And as I stood on that rooftop the fireworks reminded me of dreams and goals. How many people have stood on top a roof and saw their dream glowing in the distance, so far from reach. That night i had a beautiful moment paved in my mind something I fantasized earlier in the day but whats a fantasy? Nothing more than a high expectation dream, something so unbelievable beautiful it'll be to miraculous to believe if face with. But mines is unbelievable, beautiful, amazing, breathe taking, and momentous. That's what it is, but by tonight it will be reality and envied amongst those hanging on their last dreams and amongst angels mounted, falling, or fallen.... or so i thought. No, it's nothing more than another dream watched afar from a roof top.

he was right "I cant have everything i want" but it hurts... not "not getting" what I want but getting the little worthless, materialistic, frivolous things and not getting the sentimental, heartwarming, soul pleasing, and long anticipated things. Just my luck..right?

Feel

I had this feeling earlier that I couldn't shake, and as I sat and zoned out to my iTunes "Broken Strings" came on and i just vented randomness, and even though what your about to read most likely wont make any sense lol, I feel better, *shrug* eh w/e.

I don't want to be dead last anymore. I feel like I'm going to be left at the door, like once again I'll be left standing alone to deal with starting from scratch. I feel like I'ma lose in situations where it's obvious that I'm suppose to win. For once I don't want to be humble, I want to kick and scream for it, but i never had an opportunity or time to do so, I've grown use to losing, when it came to change i just never was quick enough... whether it was my mom, my dad, my brother, my family, my friends, my exs, everything i put my heart into just seems to leave me, and its always a situation where if i break my silence it wouldn't make a difference, or maybe I'm just scared of failing from making one. every change i faced i never had a chance, change on its on decided to take charge, it didnt give me a chance to hold on to my mother better, didnt give me time to convince my brother on staying, didnt give me the decision to where I wanted to be, didnt think of the after effects on my heart for every love i had to get over... thats how i feel, but just for once i don't want a change and i want it at the same time. i don't want to have to just accept things, i don't wanna be the one without a say, without a acknowledgment, without a consideration...idk thats just how i feel

Him

I was randomly going through old notes and things i wrote on my laptop and i found this, its nothing big but i thought it was cute so i decided to post it, i wrote this december 09, 2008.




ok so theres this guy who means the world to me and who is the only guy i wanna see myself with, he's indescribably unforgettable, fantastically amazing, he makes me feel ontop of the world, and at the bottom of a shoe when we dont speak. its gotten to the point where im dropping my wall and my defensiveness and i just want him to know desselyn, fuck this dea bitch, not trynna sound like a split-so, but dea is that bad lookin nigga mentality chick, where desselyn is just this shy broken quiet sweet as can be chick. no dude can come close to him, he's my rolls royce. i have so much love for this boy and im disappointed ive held it back from him, he makes my days bearable, i love when he picks on me, when he lets me beat on him (even though he'd probably toss me), my heart melted when he put our picture up, man o man, its like i have so much to say that my words can not come out straight or be organized, but yeh


so theres this guy
no guy comes close to
only dude who mkaes me smile
only guy i care for
and ive been hurt
way too many times
it got to the point where
my friends make bets on the guys i meet
because id get bored in 3-7 days (dead ass)
but he's different
its been 3 months
spent majority of my days with him
and i cant front
not being or speakin to him hurts
i just hopes he knows
that im not out to hurt him
i want nothing more to be and add to his happiness...

KlasSiK: then the nipple jus... -sigh- brings it all together
Dea: lmaooooooooooo

Ugh Im Pathetic

see you have to fuck a nigga the first night ya’ll chill, or at least blow him off. and he wont proclaim your his girl or put you on his top until you do. you have to travel miles away to see him [about 15 times] before he walks with you to the deli on the corner. you have to argue with him about the bitches who call his phone even though your not his girl. he has to ignore your 5 calls during the day, and your going to get mad, but at 12 o clock at night when he calls you back, pretty much after he’s done chilling with the next chick he invites you over, and of course you have to go see him. you have to leave immediatly after he hits. you have to buy him something but he’ll wont offer to buy you anything, and you have to front cuz u got money...yeh ok. see this is what must be done for you to have a nigga. this is also the reason why i dont have one. i rather make him wait a eternity and get him fed up to the point where he leaves, rather than i become a fiend out bird who never gets a call back. i rather talk to a new nigga everyweek than stick one that’ll never acknowledge me. im sorry if i dont question him on the chicks he’s talking to on the phone or chilling with, because real chicks like me are to confident to worry about the next girl, they arent on my level. i wont mop all day because he aint call me back, i’ll give him an hour and i’ll never call him back, besides my next boo been fiend out for me to hit his jack. i cant chill in a nigga crib all the time. i refuse to be just seen as having a body and cute face and thick hair for you to be grabbing under the sheets. see im so pathetic, because i refuse to degard myself to have someone to call mine.

Pharisee?

VIBE: What are your demons?

CHRIS BROWN: My mom had a boyfriend that was abusive domestically so watching that as a kid, it used to haunt me. Not haunt—but eat at me. I used to want to really hurt the dude.

Why do you think she stayed with him?

Probably ’cause she loved him. I hated him. That was my demons I was fighting. That’s why in relationships I vow not to be that person because seeing that as a kid, you inherit what you see, so I promised myself, I’m not gonna be that dude. I’m never gonna be that person that takes the argument that far. I wouldn’t wanna put a female or child in that position, being that terrified.
