I agree with Poetri. You say that you don't know what to put....just tell us who Qween is and how she came to reign. Let's get it going...

who am i? where am i goin? if i knew i would tell you. and where exactly am i? NOWHERE. and it only took me 24 1/2 years to get here  i'm my mama's oldest child, and my daddy's second oldest, that he knows about. my story? my poems tell my story. but plainly, it goes like this:

born 1.18.82 in Berkely, Ca to Kim Wimberly (16) and Kent MacFarland (25, i think). 3 years later, Kenisha MacFarland was born (2.16.85). 3 years later Kent MacFarland Jr. was born (9.20.88). i guess somewhere in there my parents got married. cuz before my brother turned 1, they were getting divorced. I beleive tha's when i found out my papa was a rolling stone. cuz wherever he left his hat, and his draws, was his home. cuz every other weekend i was stayin with another chick he was co-habitatin with. all tryin to play my mama and checkin to see where my daddy been. liek i know.

so Ma Dukes married an african. had 3 mo kids by him Amaebi (pronounced uh-my-bee) and the twins, Peter Jr. and Paul. they are mentally disabled.  this is part 1 cuz i can't bring myself at this moment to finish the story. i'll be back 2moro. g'night

part 2

HARDSHIPS

i guess everyone goes thru them. is one hardship harder than another. lets find out

~molested for 6 years, 9-15; from Hayward to Stockton

~my biological father was NOWHERE when he was needed

~i was pregnant at 17, due 2.14.00, but had a "miscarraige" (still-birth i call it) 9.11.99. it was a girl. she was developing eye sockets and a brain. because i delivered, i gave her a name: Hezekiah Aizah-Marie. nope.no last name. as soon as i turned 18, i got my first tattoo of an angel face wit wings with the initials H.A.M.

~in '03, i was in a terrible accident where i could of died. which lead me to living in VA for a while.

~constantly strugglin to keep my head above water. not for me, cuz i could care less. but for my son. i do what i gotta do.

~unsure, unclear, mentally disturbed, confused about me. so i create an alter ego: QWEEN.

 

i'll finish some more 2moro. g;night

who is QWEEN? man. QWeeN is a chick who don't take mo mess from nobody. knows the difference between right and worng and will tell u in a heartbeat. never lets the heart interfere with the mind's decision when its the better choice. QWeeN is jus that: a QWeeN in her world will be treated like nothin less. a lil ghetto in her, which is why there's a "w" instead of a "u".

 

LaTashia is sentimental. sesitive. uses her heart for everything. sometimes i think it's too big. but that's how GOD made her. so the opposite of QWeeN. but somehow theymanage to live in the same place and not conpletely destroy each other.

 

what makes me tick?. . . . stupid qwestions. bad mothers. employees @ mrs. field's. my son's father.  workin 2 jobs and still being broke. not trusting GOD more.

 

 

i used to be off th ehook with things i siad. people used to be like "who she think she is that she can say what she says?". i figured i didn't use my voice when i really needed to. so now i talk. about any na deverthing. i've calmed down alot since those days. liek i siad. i'm 24 1/2. goin nowhre and it seems like it's takin forever to get there.

 

 

what else would u like to know?

how did i turn gay?
 
as more and more people who thought they knew me, or thought they had me figured out, hear about my girlfriend, the more dear in head lights they become. wanting to know answers to qwestions like :"when did you become gay?" or  "how did that happen?" or "that n!**@ did you bad huh?". but what those same people don't realize is, i've always been like this. jus never took the time, nor the trust to show or tell them. and no it wasn't because i was molested. cuz way before that i was practicing kissin on girls to prepare myself for kissin on lil boys.  makin figure 8's wit my hips, fakin the moanin and groanin i heard before while humpin on lil girl's front sides to self educate my mind on sexual interaction with lil boys. and most of the time, they was my friends. bet you ain't know i was scared to go in locker rooms and undress cuz i ain't want my folks to see me peepin them. . they was my folks. if you could look at a pregnant chick, and stare through her to see if you could visualize what's under her gown as she sits there in pain finna deliver. . yea i had issues. and the qwickest response i could come up wit when asked "what you lookin at?" was  that i was trippin off lookin at it from the opposing side.
there was no turn in all that i had discoved. as i walked, the other road was parallel to me, following me. a road untouched after 15 some odd years finally wakes me out of a sleep i never could count sheep to. and finally i decided to answer its call. so how did you turn straight?

this is the realest i have ever been wit people who i don't know. but verytime i come here, i read & learn a lil more. and it make me feel lik ei've been kowin yall all my life. people are confused about this "new-found" gayness I have.  but as yall have read before, this is me. it ain't new to me. but it's not even about being gay, or bi-sexual or greeen or blue. it's about L-O-V-E. and where my heart is. I love this girl. I would love her is she was a he. because it's about the person, and not the sex. so those who may be jus a slight bit confused, although i really don't care, it's all about L-O-V-E.

i know yall feel me. thank you for listening to me vent. i guess these are my milestones of life. another qwestion that has been asked . . .Are you ready for that type of commitment?

when a person asks you somethin that can change your life and the way you have been living it, and you say "YES". then I think it's apparent that one is ready. why would i say "YES" if i wasn't ready? I'm 25 years old. been lookin for this kind of love since i was 19. like Lyric once say, i was looking for it in the wrong faces. because each one of my previous relationships have failed me. and although it may not have been all on them, but they have failed themselves, which in theory, they have failed me. if you can' do for yourself, you can't do for me. and no i can't say "and vice versa" because i have done for them, even when i couldn't do for myself. call it stupidity. i called it love. but now to have someone actually reciprocate, what i do, and do waaaaaaay more, makes me ready. i want to give her waaaaaay more that waht she gives me so that she stays happy. adn she wants to do the same. what a cute little love battle.  but i would NOT have said "yes" if i wasn't ready. Dig IT?

At the end of the month I moved into somethin new. new furniture. new place. new smell. new memories. all with a new relationship. And I'm glad. I've been waitin a while to release the microfibers of black from my place. and instead of cleanin him out, i jus get to do the remaining sentiments like he did me. . jus leave. no wave, no look back. jus out. I get to create new moments, new memories, now life with my beautiful wife in our beautiful new place. and I can't wait.

I ALMOST DIED. .
MENTALLY. . EMOTIONALLY. .
WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO TO DO SO PHYSICALLY

HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO LOSE EVERYTHING . . . JUST TO GAIN EVERYTHING?

I DID .  .
I LOST MY FRIENDS . . MY FAMILY .  ..MY SELF RESPECT. . . MY MORALS. . . MY DIGNITY.  . . MY MIND.  . . myself. .  .
ONLY TO GAIN A LOVE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE. . . BLACK HAS NOTHIN ON THIS. .  SHE IS DEJA VU . .
I SEEN HER BEFORE I KNEW HER . . HER IMAGED BURNED SO DEEP IN MY SUB-CONSCIENCE, THAT I FORGOT  .  . .
 
UNTIL OUR QUICK EMBRACE LAST FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE HOURS ON THE DARK, STAR-LIT NIGHT BECAME THE FACE I SEEN IN MY VISIONS . .
SEE, SHE IS A GOD-SEND .  . AND WHENU MESS OVER WHAT GOD SENDS TO YOU, YOU ENDURE ALL THE PAIN NEEDED TO GET THRU . .
 
AND I'M SORRY I EVER CHEATED ON MY WIFE. . .
 
AND HER LOVE FOR ME IS STRONG .  .  SHE CONTINUES TO BE IN MY CORNER.  . AS I WILL ALWAYS BE IN HERS. .  .
I HAD TO LOSE EVERYTHING TO KEEP MY EVERYTHING. .  AND I APOOGIZE IF SOME NEER GOT A FINALLY GOODBYE . . I'M SORRY IF SOME JUS WOKE UP ONE MORING AD I WAS GONE .  . . I'M SORRY THAT I COULD EVER DO THAT TO MY WIFE. . . SO I HAD TO DO WHAT I HAD TO DO . .  CHANGE MY NUMBER. . CHANGE MY TMAIL . . . CANCEL MY MESSENGERS . . . MY PHONE CONTACTS WENT FROM 186 TO 64 . . NO MORE MYSPACE. .  NO MORE DOWNELINK . .  NO MORE FACEBOOK . . . NO MORE NOTHIN . . .
 
THIS IS THE ROUTE I CHOSE TO REGAIN MY EVERYTHING . . . AFTER ALMOST LOSING IT. . .  AND I POLOGIZE FOR THOSE WHO I MAY HAVE HURT IN THE PROCESS . .   BUT I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF .  .
