To moms...

Very special day to me and I hope to whoever is reading this.
Show your moms some love especially today.
You never know when you'll be without her.

Having conversations with momma... 

Although I've done some crazy things,
you raised me right and I'm thankful I don't have any of his ways,
sometimes I wonder how would I be with you stayed married but nothing with you and his relationship changed,
probably would have been young and deranged or old and enraged,
probably wouldn't have my freedom,
I can't thank you enough for leaving him,
being the strongest single mother I know,
you've done a lot for me that goes without saying,
I could never pay you back the debt I owe even though I'm repaying,
you've helped me when I felt like you didn't have to but you always assured me that you had to,
times I thought to quit school and deliver mail and you let me know I didn't have to,
that I could do whatever I put my heart into,
after all those times I've disappointed you or made you upset,
you've never left and I can't say that for anyone else,
you're the best I ever will have and I truly believe that so its time to show that,
I've always been a hardheaded prideful little boy and now I know it's my fault I didn't check off everything you planned out for me on your wish list,
the older me wishes that younger me would've listened,
I always tell everyone out birthday is on the same day and smile on the inside just thinking about how connected we really are,
I hope I'm always in your heart your first little star.
I love you mom. Happy Mother's Day.

This is very short and I apologize but I wanted to do this respectfully.
I took some time off to really dive into the discography of the artist formerly known as Prince.
Unfortunately I waited until after he passed to do so due to my own stupidity.
No one knows when we'll lose another icon so I pray you take advantage of the resources you have an appreciate someone for their art while they're still here.
Rest in Purple, Prince Rodgers Nelson. June 7, 1958-April 21, 2016.



I pray everything stays the same, You get on your knees as I string,
I guess I have found my love life, my darling Nikki don't you leave me cause of strife,
don't cover up when the train stops us,
it hurts more than you'll ever know, maybe I am like my father I should've known,
suicide shouldn't be a choice,
waking up without you there makes me sweat though I'm so cold, the rain turns purple at my dysfunctional home,
just know I would die for you if I had the chance to, let's ride on this motorcycle until we fix the issues, that's got us missing each other all the miscues,
all the mistakes we made and the missteps we took, you still got my heart like a crook,
through all of this despair I face I still face you, lets ride on a graffiti bridge together looking at the beautiful mess I made with you.
