My Twins Are Boys

(DATE WRITTEN 4-4-15)

My twin brother looks just like me

And now we both are at age three

People crowd around us to see us do the split

Dance and rap our greatest hit

We attend Langstead Elementary School

Then we went home and jump in our pool

Everyone calls us the class clowns

Because we jump and dance around

We were never able to keep still

We jump from chair to chair and did a quart wheel

We switch our shoes and jackets and went into each other classes

We went to school and never wore our glasses

Before we were born we fought over who would come first

Then an emergency C-section was plan so mother wouldn’t burst

We wasn’t the average twin birth weight

Being close to seven pounds and past our due dates

Around three months we pulled each other’s hair

Made people in the public just wanted to stare

At six months we were biting each other

I guess that was part of being twin brothers

One year old walking and pulling each other feet to fall

And then our heads will hit the wall

Where Do I Go

(DATE WRITTEN 4-4-15)

Being seventeen with a burden of a baby

Still going to High School and College maybe

Was put out of mom’s house and ended up with my dad

Which I thought at first wouldn’t be half as bad

Dad sold earrings, purses, and watches downtown

He even had some hats sitting on the ground

When I got to his house, the lights were cut off

I had to make bottles to put in my baby’s mouth

We woke up and her bottle nipples were swollen

All my money out my purse was stolen

We were sleeping on the living room floor

I’m looking up at the open front door

I got up and headed to the back

And to my surprise dad and his friends were smoking crack

I grab my baby and pack my bags to leave

Walking down the street in eighty degrees

The sun on my back beaming hard was what I felt

Feeling like me and this baby would melt

Not having anywhere really to go stay

I really needed somewhere to lay

I walk up to some apartments and filled out the application fast

The lady told me I’m now on housing and I’m home at last

I walked inside with my baby and bags

And went to sleep because tomorrow was class

Project Apartments

(DATE WRITTEN 4-5-15)

You look at me with so much jealousy

You are a disgrace to the whole community

You a porch monkey that sits and stares at me

You need
