I Love the Kid but He's Full of it I Be Thinking about what we Could've been or what we should've been but he'd ruin it
He Would Talk About What His Exes Did And How It Messed With Him But I Ain't Hearing It
How You Would Say You Ain't Ready for Commitment But That's The Only Thing We're Missing
If You With Me Like You Say You're With Me Then A Title Shouldn't Even Make A Difference
We've Been At It For A Little Minute Let Em' Know Wassup But Keep Em out Our Business
A Private Life Is A Happy Life Is What I Said At The End of The Discussion
Once You Have Feelings For Someone,Those Feelings Will Always Be There
You May Not Like Them Anymore But You'll Still Care
He Loves Everything I Hate About Myself
How Could I Give that Up?
He Was The Wings That Kept My Head In the Clouds
I Was The Anchor That Kept His Feet On The Ground
And I Ain't Trynna See You With Nobody But ME
But I Have
He Wanna See Me On My Feet Rather than On My Back And it Don't Get No Realer Than That
Everybody Snaking, Don't Know Who To Trust
Dont Know Who To Watch
Don't Know Who To Cut, Cause People Out Here So Messed Up
I'm Loyal But I'm Not Stupid so Don't Sleep On Me
You Could Go From Bae To Who In A Minute So Don't Creep On Me
Sometimes I Wish I Hadn't Gotten Involved With Some People Him Included
Should've Just Left It At Hello and Kept It Moving
Stuck Between I Don't Know and I Don't Care
If He's Treating Me Right and Has Himself Together Then Y'all Can Say Whatever
We Might not be Together but He's Always Been Here

brief nature of life Life is short. This is a well known fact, and the poem, “Out, Out-” by Robert Frost poignantly highlights this issue with its vivid depiction of the death of a boy. The boy, operating a buzz saw and working to slice trees, suffers a tragic accident in front of his sister, who is telling him “[s]upper,” in which his hand is severed; he later dies from blood loss. Then life resumes as normal. From this poem, it can be seen that life is but a fleeting moment, a summary of trifles…

Whitman and Dickinson In “O Captain! My Captain!” uses the ship, the voyage at sea, and the Captain, within the poem to describe the mood of the United States in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. The “fearful” voyage at sea, then, is an appropriate metaphor for the arduous Civil War, which has finally ended, but ironically, the Captain of the ship, Abraham Lincoln, has fallen dead (Line 2). Whitman uses extensive imagery to describe the North, awaiting the ship to dock, “exulting,” and “their eager…

bright flame, but to women it was, and always will be, a warm fire.” In 1968 when World War II was in full effect, one woman’s voice rang out clear. With this development, poetry grew to its truest level in terms of women’s genuine poetry. This time period paved the way for a female African American poet to show the world what poetry had been lacking. Yolande Cornelia Giovanni, Jr., or Nikki Giovanni was born June 7, 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Giovanni attended Fisk University, where she was expelled…
