a rich man
who wants more
is poor.
a poor man
who has enough
is rich.
do not be fooled by outward show.

don’t let my melanin fool you:
my heart loves
in a thousand
different colors.
don’t let my dialect sway you:
i speak love
in a thousand
different tongues.

make something
that will live on
when you die.
find someone
who will love you
when you’re real.
go someplace
where people
dance,
idle,
and don’t judge.
anything
outside of that,
or its likeness,
is piss on the sidewalk.

dance when no one’s watching;
dance when they can’t turn away.
it’s joy that builds buddhas,
not opinions.

“i don’t need anybody!” i spit.
then a stranger’s smile lifts my spirits.
“i can do it on my own!” i declare.
then a breath of fresh air gives me life.
“i don’t need any help!” i proclaim.
then a soul-stirring book makes me remember.

whenever i am lost,
i let my heart run wild.
and it leads me
back to me
every time.

one day,
you look up
and see a soul.
and suddenly,
a pretty face
becomes
just a pretty face.

unravel your own mysteries;
immortalize your own legends.
you have been looking up to people

love?…
love is looking into
a stranger’s eyes

what is life? the melancholy of a passing woman? the careful steps of a stray cat in the rain? the quietness of a drifting autumn leaf? what is life? every painting? every poem? every teardrop? every dance?
