Good Pussy

 

Can you keep a secret

I’ve got some real good pussy

Thinkin’ about selling some

You know

For a couple of C-notes

Or by the hit

My pussy is so good

Men won’t quit…

 

Cuming around sniffin’

Begging for a lickin’

My pussy ain’t even trippin’

 

If all he’s got to offer

Is his dick in his hand

Then this good pussy is moving on

In search of a real man

Who knows how to lick it

Hit it stick it and kick it

 

Kick me

Down with something tangible

A lifestyle that’s manageable

Good pussy ain’t never broke

Shit, I might start charging by the stroke

 

Pssttt

Let me whisper in your ear

Can you keep a secret

Good pussy drives men crazy

Make him claim your baby

Make him cum for more than fun

For pleasure

When and wherever

The pussy damn well please

Good pussy is a tease

 

Wanna know why my pussy is soooo good

I give her lots of treats

Eat something fresh and sweet

Pineapple one day

Coconut the next

Swipe her with a little honey

Then pop her in his mouth

A tiny mint on my clit

Definitely does the trick

For my pussy and his dick

 

Oh, I’ve got some good pussy

But don’t you tell your man

I am what she eats

I stay away from all that beef

Drink lots of peppermint water

Or add some mint leaves to my salad

Then I let him toss me upside down

And go to work like Homey the Clown

 

I smother his face with savory juices

Then watch his lips spread ear to ear

My good pussy makes him cheer

 

Can you keep a secret

I’ll share a little tip

Feed your pussy right

Then spread her on his lips

Keep your pussy tight

And he’ll fuck you all night

Or pass out trying

 

Pssstt

I’ve got a secret

Wanna taste

 

In My Lifetime

 

All I ever wanted

Was to be loved

A caring hug

And to hear those three words

But as a child

My unspoken words

Were never heard

 

But I did find joy

In the arms of a boy

Or two

Who must’ve known

Deep inside I was blue

 

Quiet

Sometimes happy

Mostly sad

Or melancholy

One might add

To my long list of reasons

Why

 

Sometimes at night I’d cry

Praying for God to bring me home

No child should feel alone

 

But the next day

I’d play

With my brothers

With my friends

Wishing those days

Would never end

All I ever wanted

Was to be loved

A caring hug

Or to hear those three words

 

Why won’t she hug me

Tell me she loves me

Where’s my father

Who’s my mother

Why can’t I live with my sisters

Hang out more often with my friends

How much more must I endure

Before my sadness comes to an end

 

In my lifetime

All I ever wanted

Was to be free

To be me

And why shouldn’t I be

 

Slowly I learned to love

I learned how to give hugs

To freely say I love you

Or I love you too

I learned to embrace

The things I wanted to say

 

And if unspoken words

Got lost along the way

That’s when I learned I could

Write

 

Words on paper

Gave me power

When I was afraid to speak

Words in my heart flourished

Whenever I felt weak

No matter how challenging

No matter how hard

No matter how judgmental

Others were of me

 

The power of a voiceless voice

The split decision in making a choice

The spirit dancing in my heart

My words allowed me to stand apart

To be free

To be me

Knowing that I am Worthy

 

Speak up

Speak out

Have no doubt

Let your actions shout

In my lifetime

I am Worthy

 

Once Upon a Time I Was Happy

Today

is the last day

that I live with myself

without being myself

 

without being true to myself

pretending I’m someone else

naw, not pretending

convincing

 

Once upon a time before him

I had family

I had friends

I had the means to an end

a happy child

a magnetic smile

a swing in my hips

a curve in my lips

 

I laughed until I cried

I held my head high

never asked why

always asked why not

I yearned to learn a lot

had a zest for life

Once upon a time

I wanted to be his wife

strived to be his lover

determined to be his friend

Once upon a time with him

I was happy

 

Just to be alive

felt like a woman inside

we went on dates

we came home late

we woke up with the sun

we simply had fun

Once upon a time

I was happy
