The Affect of Poetry (Series 4-Need You Out)

I need you out….lye down and your lies down, from the other side of the floor you can walk, from the other side of the door you can talk, you lyed where his dick did, while I addictive to your mischief, I feel like I kissed me, I feel like you were with me but you missed him. She belongs to me….but to him, he is rented out.
“Archie The Messenger”

I decided to head back to my birth place. I’ve seen my boy Matt. He was having his grand opening poetry session and I wanted to show my support. When I walked in the building it was packed. Our old co-workers came out to show their support, family, and friends. Local artist performed by singing, and as well as speaking poetry. When I walked on him he was surprised to see me. We caught up while listening to the entertainment.

He introduced me to all the performers that were going on stage and he was shocked that my name was on the list. When I first arrived on the stage I just looked around to get a brief glance of the crowd. Proximate of 50 people were in attendance. I told the audience to bare with me because I never spoke poetry/residing. Starting off by saying: “What I am about to speak on comes from the second view of eyes that we may not look through!” “I wake up on the morning take a knee and thank GOD. Then go to the mirror and look myself in the eye. Today I didn’t wake up with a woman on my side, yesterday didn’t I wake up with a woman on my side. Neither the day before that nor before that. I just remember the moments, call me Kodak. And know that I miss you but it’s your denial that I must hold against you. Since you been gone, I’ve been all alone, but alone in steroids because it made me strong. Girl, your, gone in the wind you cheated on GOD son baby girl that’s a sin. But I forgive you, but I can’t give you. Another chance girl you’re in my rear view. And I put that ring on your finger, shit I was ALL IN. But now it’s just a symbol of what I could have been.”

When I was done, I received a standing ovation. But when I glanced over in the back, I’ve seen Toya. She wasn’t standing and I didn’t expect her to or even be here. We made eye contact and starred at each other for a minute when I seen her crying. I told Matt to holla at me. I tempted to walk over and talk to her. I did, when I passed her to go to the exit.
