Emotional Cocktails

A Poem

By Akashas StoriesPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

As steam fills the bathroom

Her thoughts linger

Her mind's going a mile a minute,

A cute angel, far from linear

No solid foundations, so she applies a matte one

Pride's a hard pill to swallow, so she sniffs a fat one

Attitude and contour, a deadly concoction

The road to riches, is a packed one

She got deadly options

Phone buzzin, her head thumpin’

Backseat of the whip, keep bumpin’

She can feel the universal vibrations

She got the whole world in her purse, but forgot her patience

Never stuck her feet in the dirt, for fear of her Jordans

Every man she run into like America’s most wanted

They in love with material, a visual that’s unreal

She in love with ethereal but appeal to the hood ideal

He said, “lemme buy you a drink.”

She on the brink, of destruction

She know he only chase tail

bit his lips

So she inhale

She gon’ let him in, but only if it’s, an emotional cocktail
