Think about it


Despite everything you've ever believed or heard, if you found the end of the world, would you take a risk and jump? I mean, we've been on this earth for quite some time...so would you continue to explore what has already been discovered, or take a leap of faith into the UNKNOWN... literally.

An Ode to my Niggas

Ode to you, friends of mine that are males.
Especially the ones doing something with yourselves.
I don't knock the hustle, but I know this life is rough,
Ode to those who have had to be more than tough.
I admire our friendship, your intelligence, and even your humor.
I sometimes wish I could've met you all sooner.
Your willingness to overcome the struggle is a motivation,
We love hard workers, the ones with dedication, striving to get an education.
You give us a sensation of inspiration that sparks a creation of our imagination.
Reassuring us that we can be whatever we put our mind to.
Ode to my athletes & homies with jobs, man, the upmost respect for you.
Juggling High school, or College, Home life, and still making room?
Keep the focus first, and the women second,
Because choices you make now will be a valuable lesson.
The hard work will pay off , I'm sure of it all,
Just remember that nobody walks before they crawl.
There's nothing like a strong man, so take pride in all you do,
Keep pushing my niggas, I see you!

Her.

Brown skin, brown skin,
Where does yours begin, and mine end?
Lol, on some India Arie biz.
The smoothest, the sun loves to kiss,
Call 'er the dark complected female with the beautiful epidermis.
In Urban terms, the black sistah with the sexy skin.
Accompanied by a smile that makes them loose the confusion.
Body of a goddess, and struck with hips,
The ones that make you want to explore all curves and dips.
A work of art, Pacasso couldn't even paint a picture of her,
Got the heart of a lion, but a hopelessly wreckless lover.
A rare individual, blessed with charisma and class,
Her mind is deep, but the gasps are usually for her ass.
Shake my head one time.
Don't you see that her mind is sublime?
Cherish it, support it, stand by it together,
Because beauty passes, but wisdom remains forever.

Open Letter of Resentment to Our Notorious Friend "Love"

Dear Love,

I am charging you with being completely overrated. We are taught to think that you are something spectacular, and amazing, which is probably only the case 50% of the time. You're two-faced. You have the ability to make people feel like they're on top of the world one minute, and then make someone feel like they're being crushed under the weight of the world the next minute. You have this way of making people in relationships fall hard...but often times one more than the other. You should be a mutual thing, but for some reason, you get a kick out of seeing people travel down a one way street. You practice cruel and unusual punishment and you've been a weapon in disguise for entirely too long. I hear by declare you a desperado to my mind, body, and soul. You've been found guilty as charged by myself, and a number of your other victims, and are sentenced to confinement until someone can prove you innocent. That is all.

Sincerely,
Alexis Shantia Scott

No Spheres Here,


Contrary to your beliefs, my world has never been a sphere. I view the world, and everything and one in it from a very unique pair of eyes. I think that once you have found your perspective on life, and you're happy with it, you have reached one of your greatest coups. I have yet to fill this void. I'm just on the roller coaster of my pursuit of happiness. It may be treacherous, but I'll buckle my seatbelt and hold on tight, because I'm down for the ride. This is MY world, what shall I make of it?
