Poetry: Mistakes

by Shunmeco Cooley

Created on: December 08, 2010

"I got this" 

Unintentional actions

Played out from the

Distractions

Of life

Feeling my fine self

Not studying the hand

I was dealt♣

Just call me the sassy cute one

A smart ale ck attitude

So what if I was rude?

"I got this" I say smacking my glossed lips

Sliding my tongue across my teeth

On top of the world,

Some chicks beneath

Me

Rolling my eyes to the sky

Hands on my rotating hips

Crushing confidences

Breaking hearts

Recovering from Humpty's Fall

Saying" Yes"

Instead of No!

Hands against my back

Pushing myself off the wall

Revelations that revealed who was fake

Just a few of my mistakes

Not many said,

"Girl kick your heels Up, continue to race!"

I've  hurt some folks along the way

Berry Kisses I send them

To God I pray the salts on their pillows

Are turned into triumphant days!
