BLACKLISTED

once again
i feel as i did in childhood
throughout highschool
i am too black to be white
too white to be black
too queer for the gays
&
too fierce for the straight

do you want to go outside?
do you want to play?

LeAnna Eden "SEX AND CANDY" acoustic cover MARCY PLAYGROUND

A BLACK MATTER

Don't give up
No need to cry
We all know it's time
Time to stand up and fight

Brotha's getttin shot
Sista's gettin life
while the man, while the man, while the man
gets off on lies

The children are hungry
and they don't know how to read
Momma's always working,
she never sleeps.
The dope boys been running
from the police
THEY'RE keeping us poor
LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM

We need help
no need to cry
We all know it's time to fight

Brotha's gettin shot
Sista's gettin life
while the man, while the man, while the man
gets off on lies.

By any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
Take my hand,
Not my life.
--LeAnna Eden 2014

MY HANDS

my hands are bleeding
and my knees are scraped up
my heart's been hurting
and tongue is parched

the road it keeps twisting and turning
it feels so damn long
and i don't think that i can
do this for too long

see, these are the fantasies of a dreamer
i used to view myself
i was a firm believer
in one love and true fate (I believe in love and fate)

but on the quest to find
another like mind
maybe i've been
too eager.

because every interaction has turned
into something more than this
and what is this?
shit

my hands are bleeding
and my knees are scraped up
my hearts been hurting
and my tongue is parched

the road it keeps twisting and turning
it feels so damn long
and i dont think that
i can do this for too long
no i dont think that i
can do this.

Waiting for my reprimand

For god knows what
I'm almost glad you don't have a phone

I don't want to read and re-read THEN process
the out of order texts

Is it any better that I sit and press refresh
On my tiny screen's browser

FOuR hours
Waiting.
FOR an email
Where you'll tell me all the things I'm doing wrong.

If She sings the same sad silly song
This is why its never changed:
She still feels the same

A continuation of a situation
That leaves her drained

Some thing you've been

saying
loudly and underneath
your breath
"I'm just trying to have a good day and you're bringing me down."

everyone im meeting is depressed
everyone hates this city

i always seem to move
in to worse weather
raining, snow
ice and cold

head down
im braced against wind

head down
i miss my friends

why i need to fucking move out.

back and forth
i am being tugged
i hate you
dependency is sickening
how did this happen?
i give my all
partnership is laughing, standing
empty palms up

do i think it was a mistake?
yes.

but what am i to do.
what would i have done?
all the places i could be.
all the people i could meet..
and now i just sleep

waiting for the morning
to start drudgery all over.

wasted youth
on a quest for love.
once again, i am stranded
but bound

you are free
to do as you please

and no,
you're not coming home tonight.

LeAnna Eden- Taking time till there's Nothing more

look into the mirror what do you see you're feelin cold you're acting mean you're a bitch but most importantly you're an asshole you opened up that door and you walk and you talk and you fought this time you lost you're such a big girl now if you take the time that you're used to you will understand you're getting used too if take the time that you're used to you will understand you're getting used too

i do
miss the kiss

i can't
fill others empty hands

i could
heal, heel!

love her.
more than
Self tried too
push away
I cants: stay
She is my mantra, my morning breath
i didn't want to see you
i didn't want you to know
i didn't want to leave you
i never want to go

because solitaire was too desperate, You taught Me free-cell

    but its become a competition
    with someone who's sometimes
    there.

I know
and You know
one day,
there will be no questioning
