A poem I wrote back in 2006 when I gave up the fantasy for the reality. |
Zoom: Fantasy World Since I Was a Girl Zoom…I lived in a fantasy world since I was a girl I dreamt of an African warrior, who’d take away the pain, No need to take away the rain, But please no fingers to blame A fantasy world Since I was a girl I only knew love through a movie, Growing up listening to songs like, “Do me...baby”, And naw everything ain’t gravy No more searching I’m done for awhile, We gon’ do things up Ms. Blyss style A fantasy world Since I was a girl I told him I held out for 4 looong years So I know I’m not a hoe, But my first mistake was letting him through the front door He was like a BreaTH of fresh air A sun ray, In my world full of gray, But hey what can I say, It’s a new day A fantasy world Since I was a girl Oh now you don’t know my name Is it a game? Now you got me thinking and I’m not sure I feel the same I’m a real woman, sometimes feisty Sometimes shy, Don’t ask why, Just know I ain’t down with a lie, So I sigh, And try not to cry Cause I’ve lived in a fantasy world since I was a girl I just want to be held and hugged And showed some love, And whoever goes first be waiting at the cloudy stairs above Real love, real love, Aphrodite’s son can you hear my name Ladi Luv!!! Better known as Ms. Blyss But I guess my premonition missed I’ll be putting back on my shoes. And I’ma be cool, Don’t want to be a link on a chain called a fool. A fantasy world since I was a girl I want to wake up and look into loves eyes With no goodbyes And no dry hi’s A fantasy world since I was a girl A fantasy world since I was a girl A fantasy world since I was a girl |
