Twenty Three Years of Lessons. Dellandra Adams

remember, you are equal to them, you can belong somewhere but you are not owned; know the difference between being wanted and needed; re-evaluate and assess the situation, sis.

      Privacy

      You've given me this legacy;

      I can say very little which says so much;

      that my trust in others has diminished;

      traveled out and is lost at bay;

      I can not say that you specifically have made me this way;

      this comes from years of lessons;

      people unworthy of my love and time

      have taken things I will never be able to get back;

      So, what am I supposed to say?

      That you'd fix it and it'd all be okay?

      I wish I could with the hopes that it would;

      crimes committed in private;

      a destiny larger than my own;

      and if you could just hold a moment of remorse

      would that be enough for me?

      My secrets are no longer in private;

      god has shown them to the public to remind me of his power to turn my darkest hours into light.

      Ghost

      There's nothing new to learn here;

      you have taught me all there is to know of being a woman;

      you're ghost of a happy past haunts me;

      follows me into my darkest moments and consumes me;

      you're ghost is all I have left of the old me.

      Rich Space

      Such a rich space to love others as you would your own;

      some people beautiful as ever sharing their space and the warmth of their home. I can be quick to have known true intentions behind your frozen throne:

      is your love for me whole in entirety or do you need someone to look down upon in your pastime?

      Only allowing music you feel is fine.

      I hear you with your sharp words;

      I hold it in my grasp so that I'll never forget to share my words in this space;

      to you and only you;

      I hope you read;

      this message of hurt and forgiveness to you;

      for you were given the time and the space that you did not deserve;

      so thank you for this lesson;

      now I know to decorate my wall in this rich space.
