"Lesson One: Never breathe in the chaos because you will choke on humanity’s lack of being humane They will turn you into a tragedy that is only written down to sell books and not to save hope They will pull woes to the surface of your chest and convince you that you’re only living to die They will use your insecurities to cut ankle and make you believe you ain’t got nothin… Nothin to stand on They will write the chaos on your skin like it’s your identity And not just a part of your wholeness And if you let them, they will brand you hopeless So don’t you let them" #diaryofadayumpoet

Late night conversations
about what we would do if we could do... some thangs Some unholy thangs that pull the religion from our throats that choke moans from our brown bayous that mix like head boards and R. Kelly in the rain that pour that fill that spill into fantasies being pimped out by our hearts ... #diaryofadayumpoet For any of my beautiful supporters who would like to connect with me on facebook for immediate updates, please follow the link below. RESPECT & LOVE
Melanie YeYo Carter FanPage And when the loneliness sets in
on a power trip about possessing the world, you may cry for the moment... But when tomorrow finds you, so will the opportunity to love someone who loves you back... #diaryofadayumpoet *This is a clip from one of my new poems*
"And we are so much more than music We are the motion behind the melody before the soul breaks and spills into notes So it comes as no surprise that we are noted That we are noticed in the God designed melanin of our skin That we are crowned Blues in the rhythm of a world who has forgotten how to feel beyond a computer screen So we scream in the way we walk like pain has never weighed heavy on our souls Like these concrete jungles have never eaten us alive in front of our mothers And turned some of our wayward fathers into crime scenes that Justice doesn't seem to see But still, we stand strong like miracles We climb mountains in our sleep that only bring us to more mountains But where most would give up, we plant mustard seeds of faith on our way up And make foot stools out of any tragedy that's trying to pull us down From slavery all the way to the civil wars among our brothers, We still know that we are so much more than a "Cash Money" click Or the "baddest bitch" We are miracles... From the crown of our heads to the soulful beat in our feet The fact that we still grow, breathe and exist is an act of defiance And for every stereotype others try to hang around our necks, we produce a walking contradiction... For every Lil Wayne, we give you a Malcolm X For every Nicki Minaj, we give you a Sunni Patterson For every Zane, we give you a phenomenal Maya Angelou A Toni Morrison... And some people still have the audacity to think our days of strength are over But no...because we are miracles” #diaryofadayumpoet SOMETHING NEW...YEA... #DIARYOFADAYUMPOET "As writers, it is not death we fear most in this life. We fear waking up one day and finding that, for whatever reason, we are unable to write anymore. For a writer, this is the equivalent of death. Most of us don't write to live. We live...to write." -Melanie YeYo Carter- #diaryofadayumwriter #diaryofadayumpoet |
