All Because of You

All Because of You

I'm gone smile more pray more laugh more give more love more forgive more smile more!
Thank you
Its all because of you
DAMMIT you're not so worthless after all

But I mean WOW... one baby was born in October, the next one-well, one month later-in November
Good job!
And that's why you make me strive to be better
Cause I REFUSE to be like you: reckless, irresponsible, fake oblivious, dirty, cowardly, cold heartless liar, a GODDAMN deadbeat!
YUP thats you
The same mindless muthafucka from 2000
Weed, Hip Hop, basketball, and pussy-thats what you live for
I CANNOT think of one damn thing that God put you on this Earth for
REALLY-Why the FUCK are you here?
I feel so many things: I feel so sorry for you & I feel deeply sad for you too
No pity though. NOPE! None.
This is the second wife to kick you to the curb and you deserve every bit of pain, guilt, and regret you're feeling

But I'm gone flip it
Cause you make me sick
I'm gone make it my business to be Well
Cause you're so arrogant
I'm going to be that much more humble
Cause you're so selfish
I'm going to give more of myself
Cause I was so angry and about to catch a case
I'm commited to being calm, poised and peaceful

My mission is to be all that you're NOT: Strong spiritual smart kind open loving wise mindful accountable beautiful intelligent dynamic witty courageous present grateful...
Watch me rise and shine... and shine and shine and shine!
Thank you
Its all because of you!

The Skin I'm In

The Skin I'm In

Me and you skin
We made it
It has been quite a journey and I owe you an apology
You see awhile back I wanted to trade you in for something they told me was more beautiful
I was ready to turn my back on you
People said bad things about you and
But they weren't the problem
I was, cause I believed them
This month marks the 36 anniversary that I've been in you
And I'm gonna celebrate
I Love You
I'm committed to this relationship

Correction: this is a marriage
You're here to stay and I'm happy about that!

-P

I Will NOT

I Will NOT

• Have a big extravagant expensive wedding; I'm just too cheap and impatient
• Go vegan; Just can't, it would offend my tastebuds
• Have a natural childbirth; Why would I?
• Get married in a white dress; Um, I'll be 36 in less than a month
• Buy a brand new car; Yeah right
• Go Blond; Nah, too predictable
• Limit myself to dating one race; I'm going gray over here, something's gotta happen
• Apologize for voting for our first Black president; I say it loud and proud, I was and will continue to be Ecstatic that my president is Black like me.
• Condemn Ashley Dupré-the high-priced "escort" who got down and dirty with Governor Spitzer. Won't do it. Um yeah-$4,000.00 an hour is A LOT of money.
• Make excuses for Britney Spears; I know too many moms (single and married) who take good care of their children with limited help; they do it without complaining, and they most certainly don't have money for maids, butlers, drivers and nannies.

The Good Book

This scripture (from the book of Matthew) is my all-time favorite, it's the last word... the Holy Grail, that I should have followed to guide me in relationships.


Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
~Matthew 7:6
