A Poem While You Wait

While you wait (if you even are waiting) for my video poem to come out, I decided to give you this poem to keep you thinking. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day,
Love's flying away,
On wings,
Bringing me back an unexpected nothing,
Noting to lose and everything to gain,
Single as a dollar and not looking for change,
Repping only one as long as rappers stay the same,
Or until love empties a mag of hollow point .45 caliber bullets up in my brain,
Talk about shell shocked,
My mind's rocked by 9's and glocks of locks of hair,
Pretty girls that roll eyes and don't even care,
Don't even give a man a chance,
Saying "I don't want a boyfriend, but I really want to dance"
So what? You don't want relationship but wouldn't mind unzipping your pants?
C'mon girl!
There's more to life than this world,
More to love than the fourteenth of february,
and if commercialism is your idea of love then that's scary,
Maybe I'm single cause I'm just not ready,
Not yet a man, not yet steady,
Not yet capable, so broken up that I'm not duct-tapeable,
Maybe the fourteenth is a reminder to keep getting better,
To quit changing feelings like the weather,
To stop sinning like it's whatever,
To bust a Bieber and never say never,
Never say "I can't" or "I will not"
But rather keep mixing as long as the mixture's hot,
Now I'm sorry to you husbands, wives, girlfriends, and and boyfriends,
But I'm not getting together with anyone till I cut off some loose ends,
Till I get around the bend and I see past the trends that tend to mend lost souls together,
I want to be a man for my wife so we'll be united forever,
Valentine's Day may be fun for you but not yet for me,
So you fix you and I'll let God fix me

New poem

I finished writing a poem a week ago but I wanted to record it so it would be more realistic and deeper to you guys. I want to record it soon, before I start working next week, so let's see how that goes.

God bless you,
