To B̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣ or not †̥☺ B̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣ Ghetto

(Pls excuse the wordings of this piece..I think i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ ebonics sometimes and luv to translate М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ thots using the same expression..)

Derz a whole lotta tinz dat aint wat dey seem 2 B̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣..and peeps get it twisted..ℓi̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ the whole concept of bn 'ghetto'..I kip tellin folk,bn ghetto aint abt where U̶̲̥̅̊ waz raised or Ђδω much cheddar U̶̲̥̅̊ got..bn po aint got nufin on bn ghetto..ya see..Ghetto į̸̸̨§ a state of mind not a financial condition..I seen rich folk dats straight ghetto and I seen strugglin folk wt more class than Fendi...F̶̲̥̅̊☺я real tho,class aint bought wt money,its a product of good breeding and self-comportment..and I seen rich folk that aint got it..straight up ghetto wt they fine linen and dirty manners..no regard F̶̲̥̅̊☺я another man's dignity..they mad trippin off dat money stack wt no realness i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ em..I seen uptown kids treat people ℓi̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ dirt..mouths ℓi̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ garbage cans..spouting foul grammer ℓi̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ roosters..and I seen po folk wt compassion who treat people nice and respect people's feelinz..a lotta tins aint wat they seem,I tell ya..when it all comes to roost and the fat lady sings,bn Ghetto į̸̸̨§ a mentality..a disposition..a personal character flaw..tho found mostly amongst common folk..and associated wt the grimey and under-privileged..it aint limited to that..and I seen several exceptions to that stereotype..cos U̶̲̥̅̊ see, Ghetto į̸̸̨§ wat U̶̲̥̅̊ are..not where U̶̲̥̅̊ from..nuff said

Confessions of a No-Gooder

I got ur messages..on my mobile phone..and facebook.. U̶̲̥̅̊ say u think about me a great deal..that's an irony of sorts, U know..cos I've seen d pictures of u and him u posted Ø̲n ur wall..U seem so happy..what's the matter,dear? Ur supposed 2 be in luv..(Sigh)..let's B̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣ real wt ourselves..The truth is I'm no gud 4 u ..never been..never will..

 U̶̲̥̅̊ ask me if I still remember u..of course I do..U were Мy Sunshine..М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ Chinky China Doll..I was the eclipse that shadowed ur sun 4 a season..the erstwhile recipient of ur affections..until u felt a change i̶̲̥̅̊n d weather and decided 2 flow wt the tide..afterall, U were the ocean..and I was the sand..who was I 2 hold U down?..in the springtime of ur life..resplendent in all ur glory..itching 2 explore and enjoy life..me,a late-bloomer..still finding my feet i̶̲̥̅̊n this world..still planting my seeds and watching them grow..no good 2 a high-flier ℓike U ..no good at all..

So run,Ms Chocolate..and don't look back..ur in a better luv,arent U ? Let it consume U..and fill ur consciousness..Dnt spare a thot 4 me..a no-gooder who couldn't live up 2 ur dreams..I'm still i̶̲̥̅̊n my wilderness,though..but I'm loving where I am on the way 2 where I'm goin..and I'm grateful 4 the people whose faith in me inspire me 2 bε a higher me..they validate my existence.. Enjoy ur time under the sun,Мy dear..we won't always be young...life is too short 2 spend on a no-gooder..no,not me..

P.S
 U̶̲̥̅̊ asked me 2 think about U sometime..I'm sorry..that's a promise I can't keep..cos I wud really love †̥☺ fall i̶̲̥̅̊n love again..wt a no-gooder like me..but above it all.. U̶̲̥̅̊ have М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ best wishes..XOXO..

Dear Spring

I heard d echoes of ur comin from a lifetime away..ℓi̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ the patter of a thousand naked feet..'hello friend', U̶̲̥̅̊ whispered..as U̶̲̥̅̊ tapped on М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ window pane..and I shivered.. i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ anticipation..as I welcomed U̶̲̥̅̊ with open arms..ur the ocean to my shore..u always come back F̶̲̥̅̊☺я me..the runaway lover returns..and į̸̸̨§ received wt mixed feelings..cos U̶̲̥̅̊ embody the sum total of М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ joys and М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ pains..М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ dreams and М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ nightmares..М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ lows and М̣̣̥̇̊Ɣ highs..they always come around i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ springtime..and I wonder..what would it B̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣ this time?..Raindrops or Teardrops..Companionship or Solitude..Love or Heartbreak..they always come i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ 2s.. i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ the springtime..April just died..it May B̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣ June's turn i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ July..but i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ the meantime..its springtime..Hello Spring...
