Dreams are Expensive

dreams are expensive. In places I’ve scurried in, I have to walk through.

reclaiming my name

I spent my first love alone.. what a tragedy.

slow down,

hoping to spend my last days in love. We planned

for this.

& I

found you. dreams

are expensive

are you getting a signal?

step 1.

I was fed up with propaganda getting me to hate my skin/have a burning, uncontrollable rage. I knew then that I had to be free to choose my feelings. Funny how I end up in sorrow lol

step 2.

I chose my greatness—the arts.

Perform, wr it e, move, choose. taste

my sweet, brown sugar pain.

step 3. (Commodity)

Understand the trade off

step 4.

be relentless

in executing the pictures in your mind. win

step 5.

remember the relentlessness

as the earth rolls around I fly private in a tumbleweed of my husband, trading time for pleasure, making art money. freaking

my family out with my decisions. I married a moroccan because he fit the dream. I try to empathize, but I’m nothing like you hoes.

think a lil mo’

do a lot less

out of order.

move relentlessly

in the direction

you want to go..
