I'm Okay With Me

You said she was coming back to get her things.

It's 6 months later and her Shi- is still here

Every time I look around I see her stuff,

trying to have me looking like a Damn Cream Puff!

I try to talk to you & tell you its not right,

But you scream and holler trying to start a fight.

You behave like she'll forever be in our life!

Like a shadow of darkness, blocking love from our hearts.

She has til' the end of the week!

If not,

You'll become the absentee.

I'm okay with me.

61 Seconds You Forget

No you can’t come over

No you can’t have none!

Get out of my face

there's no us, to become one!

I don't like your style,

I find myself repulsed

while you talk begin to talk!

I keep telling you over and over again

You remember for a minute

but at 61 seconds you forget.

You can’t buy me with anything you have to offer…

Do you need me to write you a note?

You keep repeating yourself

You must have a sore throat!

You say,

“I can see myself being with a dime piece like you”.

You don't understand,

There will never be me & you!

So go on,

take back this diamond baguette

You remember for a minute

but at 61 seconds you forget!

I don't care if I'm the perfect woman for you!

I understand I possess all the qualities you're looking for

However,

what I want just won't be ignored!

I gotta keep it moving,

why don't you get a clue!

You remember for a minute

but at 61 seconds you forget!

My Man

© 2012 BoSweets

My man will love me unconditionally

allowing me to be me.

I won't have to pretend to be anything

other than who I am.

He'll want to spend time with me

because he's my friend,

With me is where he want to be

Honesty & trust

that comes as a must

His love will be gentle,

kind & patient

I'll be his queen as he is my king

That is, When he comes to get me!

What's Happened To Our Children

What's happened to our children?

I walked down the street today,

One of em' stared me down

like I had no right coming thru town!

Murder on the streets

Children just stand & stare

Some continue on playing

just feet from crime scene tape

Their minds have become numb!

They don't care to escape.

What's happened to our children?

Recreation centers are closed up

Leaving these kids to roam the streets

Nothing constructive for them to do,

Some have to go out and steal shoes

No food in the house

Nothing to eat

But mommy looks good

when she hits the streets!

Pledge of allegiance

taken out of schools,

Discipline snatched out of homes

Now children have no respect

for anyone not even themselves!

What's Happened to our Children?

Baby girl have no idea bout' the wooden nickels!

Runnin' around with anyone who tickles it

Now she has a baby and don't care to finish school

She has no man in her life

showing her what a man's real role

in this world is like!

So she run to the 1st man

who says,“you're pretty”.

Our children are crying out for,

mother's & father who'll teach

Everlasting Glow

I’m not quite sure of what to do now

It seems as if things in my life

have been shuffled around

You said,

“Lay down my burdens, give them to you”

I promise Lord, I’m trying to!

You give me safety in your name

and protection under your Authority

I only feel scared when I go off and stray,

It’s never You who walks away

I’m sorry God forgive me now

Without your love,

I’m on bottom ground

I know it will be better if I just let go

I want to feel again,

Your everlasting glow!

As I sit here,

There’s no more strength left for tears.

I need to figure out, the journey for the remainder of my years.

I realize you haven’t given me a spirit of fear

I need you now, Lord!

When I don’t quite know what to do or say,

You send miracles soaring to brighten my day!

Show up,

Show out and have your way!

I trust You Lord,

Today, in every way!

Twenty Seven Treatments as of Today

Chapter ?

I arrived at the cancer treatment center today and it was so hard to come out of the dressing room. As I undressed, I cried saying to myself, “I don’t want to do this no more! “

I stood there a few minutes crying, looking at the burns that are already on my breast. After a few minutes of this I thought, Oh Goodness if I don’t come out soon the Techs will probably come back here. “Oh God please help me get myself together”!

Okay Bo, this is treatment number 27; you have a total of 33 and it’s almost over.

You can do it girl…. I’m standing in the mirror trying to pump myself up to go out the door and I’m actually speaking out loud.

I opened the door and there she was. Hi, how are you today? The tech Brenda said.

I immediately put my head down and told her it isn’t really a good day for me. (I can’t stand for people to see me cry but today they were going to see it.)

Brenda was very comforting and said its okay sweetie, it’s almost over, and you’ve completed more than half.

I know, I told her. But it’s just so hard to come here day after day and look at my breast! It’s burned and my nipple is raw. I hurt so badly. The doctor is telling me to take ibuprofen for the pain and it’s not enough. I don’t know who told them cancer don’t hurt.

I shouldn’t have to be this uncomfortable going through this; I cried.

She said okay lay down here and let me take a look. Oh my I see, yes you are taking a beating. Okay you get to see the doctor today and maybe he can give you something to help.

Okay I said in between sniffles.

So the techs go on to prepare me for my radiation.

Tugging a little on the left at my hips and then on the right at my shoulders, lining me up just so to match with the markers.

Okay sweetie here comes your treatment.

I was still so upset that I forgot I have to lie here perfectly still. Thank God they have those cameras and microphone on to observe me.

The door opens and Brenda came in and said, “Just let those tears roll honey”. Try not to move okay. We can take care of them when we’re done.

Oh I’m so sorry, I said. I forgot I have to be still. Its okay she said. Here we go; she said walking out the room again with the door shutting behind her.
