breanna givens Poems

Reprobates coming from every corner only to vex the peace
People really insolent enough to walk on hallowed ground and curse the deceased
Arrogant to the veracious facts luring from an insensitive gleam
But you have the audacity to tell me Dare to Dream.
...

I aint telling no lies even a thug lady cries but I show no fear I hide my tears,
Its crazy living life like a game, running the streets making sure everyone knows my name,
Living in the hood but I cannot run, just make sure I always keep my gun,
Police on my back catch my breath in the clear, still I show no fear I hide my tears,
...

I’m going to paint a picture,
A picture with a twist,
I’m going to draw it with something sharp,
And I'm going to draw it on my wrist,
...

What is love but an enemy to all that undergo its treacherous distress,
A disease that poisons the mind of an everlasting progress,
Why must we experience a spiteful sentiment that only breaks us down with tears?
Making everything you once believed it nothing as it appears,
...

I’m sorry for the family for little four year old Jasmine; she was always nice to me, always the one laughing…

Everyone was shooting but she doesn’t know where to run,
“Just standing there thinking I wish that ice-cream truck will come, ”
...

Back tracked where my since seemed to lack and the lost would never be found,
On a path of misery but all i can see is me with my knees nearly touching the ground,
Faithful but hopeful im tryng to find myself out the place where i seem to be bound,
I'll cry and I'll weep but depend on my feet to keep me from ever falling down.
...

The pride of a woman lies in the bare root of her soul,
The content of her character and the switch in her strole,
The greatest once wrote with not a single lie,
That she danced like she got diamond at the meetings of her thighs,
...

Bodies lay dead and I know exactly what to expect
Grief, sorrow, pain, which emotion should I select

Never learned of nothing wiser, never chose another path
...

You scarred my heart when your lips formed the compassionate HELLO,
Never thought that you would leave, never thought I’d watch you go,
You took only what was left leaving aches, pains but no heart,
Put bad memories to my name before completely tearing us apart,
...
