MY KINDNESS IS MY STRENGTH THAT EXPOSES YOUR WEAKNESS!- Joeseph

My kindness ain’t my weakness

It’s my strength that exposes your weakness!

Small minds

Can’t compete this!

In the fall times

You can leave

But can’t defeat this!

Wen I fall

I get back up

U can’t defeat this!

I stand tall

With my back up

you can’t defeat this!

F**k it;

we ball

I got back up

you can’t defeat us!

I’m the goalie

Not the goal

you can’t achieve us!

I stay up

I’m high

from that sativa!

I swear I got my stripe stripe stripes

Just like adidas!

I get it once

I’ll get it twice

I never cheated!

One mic to tell my stories

all I needed!...

“Spring” by Anobody The Poet

The frost slowly turns to dew

As the sun rays through

Melting frigid fingers

Wherein winter lingers

Warmth light reaches all the way down

Lifting life out of the ground

Keeping birth and death in balance

As the earth goes round and round

“Join the chorus, would you please?”by Anobody The Poet

If there’s an afterlife

I long for it to be a symphony

for then I can play in between the forte 

while the notes create 

a rainbow measured indefinitely 

while I rest in the clef note whenever I need

then two-step staccato with ease

for what better way to spend my forever days

inside the tone of the artist divine’s key

I Still Believe In Love by Joseph Soto

Dragging our feet through the mud

I can’t see it, but I can feel it

Every step a little harder as I strut

But I can’t see it

it’s like I’m blinded by your gentle touch!

Goggle’s fogged up!

or is it the dust that’s settling as we give up!

Maybe it’s just mist from the steam as the sun beams on our lust!

I wanna believe it’s love;

But love will let my hand go before letting me get my feet stuck in mud!

Love will clear my goggles so I can see where you yearn to be is no good… for me!

LIFE IS POETIC 🗣️💪

THIS IS NOT A POEM… ITS MORE LIKE A RANT!! by Joeseph Soto

The longer you entertain what’s not for you; the longer it will take for you to grasp what is for you‼️

We literally got 24 hours in a day, 6-8 of them for sleep, 6-8 of them for work, the other 8-12 should be used for rest, exercise, self education, spending time with love ones. It should be used wisely I tell you that! But if you spend a few of those hours talking on the phone with someone you truly see no future with, if you spend a few of those hours daily laid up with someone bc that’s who you’ve been dealing with and feel comfortable with but in all reality you know you want different and deserve better. As long as you keep entertaining who is not for you, you will literally have no more time left in your day to entertain or get to know who is for you. 1 year will past, then 5, 10…20 years and you will finally realize you’ve wasted a lot of valuable 24 hour days; by that time you’re so content the cycle just continues until its all over; My advice is stop the cycle now; start your new journey; the journey that God is trying to present to you but you keep ignoring him bc of the distractions you’re dealing with due to being comfortable with bare minimum.Push for greatness in all aspects of life and let God lead you!!

…STOP THE CYCLE NOW

"Blow your candle"- Submitted

Your passion lights a fire,

Every word you choose, it burns.

But I’ve got verses of my own,

So now I take my turn.

It’s Virgo season, baby,

Tonight, it’s all for you.

You write the world in stories,

But this chapter’s something new.

Let’s slip away together,

Where no one knows our names.

A night made for pleasure,

Where our bodies play the games.

Red velvet on my lips,

No forks, no plates in sight.

Taste it straight from me, love

A forbidden kind of bite.

Close your eyes and make a wish,

But I’ll blow out the flame.

Be selfish in this moment

Can you handle what you claim?

Pull at every ribbon, baby,

No holding back tonight.

I’m the chapter you’ve been waiting for,

And the ending feels just right.

Lay back, I’ll take the lead,

This night is made for you.

A tender touch, a playful bite

Desire burning through.

The candles melt to nothing,

But I’m still here with you.

The love, the fun, the fire

And ready for round two.

Happy birthday

Tiptoe Poetry by: JusJess Poetry

Confidence?
Yes, I’ll take two,
 one for each decade of overcompensating.

Pound my chest?

Feed helium to my ego to appear worthy of their swoon? 

Never again.
I walk away with a clean conscience, tiptoeing swiftly and peacefully.


I’ve always longed to fly or float,
endlessly at times but the gravity of my own expectations has me stuck here.

I refuse to let my gift go to waste, it’d be hopeless to cast myself aside to rust as I wait to feel included, pondering who is who they say they are when even I have let character slip before.

Late 30’s comes knocking and no longer will I fret, fake, or sit around to be quiet while my core, my identity aches.

Instead I’ll shimmer.

Dormant Rose 🥀

Love will make you sick

Sicker than you think

Some will leave you quick

Quicker than you can blink

But the leaves fall

And under the snow it gets cold

But the ones who fell

work together with soil

and reproduce a bloomed rose 🌹

By Joseph Soto

A lustful relationship is a waste of a bond bc after the lust is over the relationship is a false memory;

as if it never existed; just wasted time…

(days,months,years)

and a clouded mind!

Love is always the answer!

The antidote for poison exist

Like sucking out the venom from the bite of a sith

Your brain clouded with things that cease to exist

Like you bit the apple;

deceived by a kiss

But the antidote for ☠️ is a myth!

FREE THE MIND;

LIVE FOREVER…

I found her by Natalie

Here we are again.
Overthinking, wondering if freedom is truly ours. Hoping this is the last time we’ll have to have this conversation with ourselves.
But at 30, almost 31, I see that the conversation never ends.

I found her again.
The sweet, caring, innocent girl, hidden behind years of hurt and misuse.

Some rooms she walked in happily, and others she was dragged in screaming. Hoping someone would save her.

I found her.
Natalie, untouched and pure and not just in a spiritual sense, but she had hopes and dreams of a life that would never be.

She mourned her losses, attended to her wounds and found strength to rise again.

Her young son’s eyes watching her every move and this time she knew the dance. although unsure of the outcome, she knew her steps were ordered. She found peace again.

I fought for you Natalie and I hope you understand why we must protect her at all costs. Life beat her down, and left her with anxieties and fears. Some known and some unspoken.

But I found her again, underneath all the rubble and mess. She still carries some stress, but she glides around the daggers instead of standing in their direct path.


She is new, yet the same, she is me.
Natalie

Fulfillment ..No beginning/No End: By Pea73rl 🧚🏾‍♀️🦋

Walking toward the car out at the end of the driveway they share a laugh of remember when,

he says,I wasnt really into things like that, she giggles and interrupts with whaaat oh please you were the ladies man..."however, maybe youre telling the truth about that. She adds,

perhaps the women were into you but they wasnt your type..hmm she smirks. "Yea yea, he says while opening the door for her. He walks around to the other side of the car she glanced upward to follow him with her eyes watching his every stride, as she gazes at his physique and stature. She smiles innocently as she fasten her seatbelt, across the lap exposing more thigh than usual. The sun is going down and there really isnt a plan to go anywhere specific. She says, "any bar for drink specials we dont have to do too much. "

He begins to drive just as he fastens his seatbelt she leans in and kiss him, she says thank you , he looks at her confused, but happy and grateful for the kiss, he say why ? " what was that for?" she say just because. he smiles and pulls off, just then there was an advertisement about something happening at the park, he says wanna stop there real quick ?

she nods her head sure. she then reaches to put her purse over onto the backseat , as she turns and leans towards him and the backseat the seat. The belt pulls at the hem of the dress pulling it up over her hip showing a portion of the very soft well tone left ass cheek . he glances curiously and the asks.. "wait are you wearing panties ?". she laughs yes omg i have on thongs she smirks and jokingly says stop looking! " They pull up to the park and see that there are sections..drive in theater type spaces, or get out pitch a tent, or lay on a blanket, and watch the huge movie screen.

He says we can stay in the car she asks, "Are you sure the fresh air is good, she smiles , he replies , " it is , you are absolutely right. they both get out she say however the back seat is more comfy and cozy ! she hurries to open the door and hops in . he laughs the movement was distinctly intentional as if she planned it..so quick yet elegant ✨️!

its dark where they are park, enough light to see each other. he gets in the backseat closes the door she immediately starts to kiss him . She reaches for both his hands to place them underneath her dress. as he fondles and massage, the kisses become more passionate. she grinds on top of him as she caress his head and began kissing his neck..

she maneuvers her hands to the top button of his pants, reaches inside and grips on his swollen exposed muscle as he feels warmth and moisture as he gently explores the inside of her wet pulsating walls...

NUMB by Joeseph Soto

I’ve become numb

Nothing is fun

But I don’t judge

Nothing is dumb

Still so full of love

But don’t give it out in sums

I give it out in portions

Dumping potions in the Ocean

For the rest of the World to swim in

I’m just feeling so numb

I just want to give in…

But I can’t

Bc the potion only last so long

until it wears off and they got to hear more.

They gotta see more

They gotta feel more

More motivation

But this feeling is so heavy

I just can’t seem to shake it!

But wait!

If this feeling is heavy,

And this feeling is draining

Then I am feeling a feeling

I’m not just numb

I am feeling the healing!

LOVE!?? by Joeseph Soto

When you told me that you loved me,

What were you thinking?

Was it for me or for you?

Bc sometimes I feel like your actions are solely based on reaction!

Is it what you want to say

Or what you want to hear?…

Well; you did say it first so you had to mean it!

Or did I treat you like I loved you

So you tell me that you love me so you can feel we even?

Or does that 4 letter word you like to utter have no meaning? …

When you tell me that you love me what are you really thinking?

Love is a swift swim 

Like tail fins on a guppy 

A touch you can feel without your hands

Like neck hugs from a puppy…

As twilight stars twinkle above us, the water cooling our flesh / We must take pause to breathe deep / Listen to the crickets, the cicadas / Collect their shells for later / As a reminder of all the years gone by / A testament to our survival / The lampshade holds a dozen cicada shells / Perched carefully, empty and dry / I never thought twice about it until I was older / How many years of cicadas must have been there / And now that I can't see them, I wonder where they went / And still, when it rains / I think of nights on the rooftop / Singing into the storm / The rain pelted my skin / My hair dripping, body curled / My soft sad song carrying into the night / I don't remember what song it was, but I remember the moment / Climbing out the window to sit as a young child / The world vast and dark / But my heart strong and steadfast in its efforts / To remain

Thinking Out Loud by Lee Poetry

Can't choose no good girls my insecurities telling they deserve better
Can't chase after baddies
Simping out of this world
& Gladly
I wanted love and couldn't afford it
I wanted trust and I guess they don't believe in me
I want to win, but it's always more to accomplish
I hate to lose, but that's why I'm so dominant
Let's be honest
Of course it's easier to admit it
Starting over is ghetto
I love the journey
I love the struggle
I hope I appreciate it more when it's finished
I refuse to give up
I know my worth like Royalty
I will never give up
I have too much Loyalty

Needed love
couldn't pay for it
don't feel love
Lonely at the top
just wanna leave
Who race
What race
Don’t even want this spot
ain't happy with what was written
I look toes to toes with what I didn’t
Hoping I make it out
Hungry games
I’m from district 19
Drugs ain’t helping my problems
cannot trust a girl
learned from my momma
I don’t see the bottom
Got me thinking love is my the doctor
Im die trying even if it’s for a dollar
Allat & that’s facts

Love at First Sight! by Not your average Joe

A lot of us are in relationships that we know aren’t happily ever after! We’re not even free enough to be ourselves around this person for they judge us more than we judge ourself. They want to see us happy but only under the fact that we create their happiness first. They constantly invade our privacy and our Me Time in hopes that we perceive it as love when in all reality it’s signs of control and manipulation.

When you find your person you will know! That person will help you be a better you they will not help suppress all that greatness you have inside.

A Slave to Mind By An anonymous Poet

Why do you have such control over me?

Instead of letting me live; wild and free. 

There you go, Captivating my every thought.

Living a mental prison, feeling distraught. 


Why do you have such control over me? 

While, Fucking hovering has become a guarantee.

Darkness slithers in and out as it pleases;

While my heart slowly shatters from these diseases.


Why do you have such control over me? 

I am drained from asking, “where is she?”

I am convinced there is no correct act.

But you know what, fuck that. Let’s have a chat!


In reality, you don’t have such control over me.

It’s the will power of breaking through that will let me be. 

Remember, if you’re not speaking of it; you’re storing it. 

Become the best version of yourself and don’t commit to that bandit.
