About Me

My photo
Mobile, Alabama, United States
Sup world? My name is Douglas James but my friends call me Doug. Most people would tell you that i'm a really cool dude, and they're right. Other people would tell you that i'm smart or bright so i let them think that as well! But for real though, i'm just a 19 year old African American Male who loves his family and friends to death. I think that i have a way with words and that i'm wise beyond my years, but that's just my opinion. I'm entering my sophomore year at ______ in the fall (snickering to my self). I'm currently pursuing a degree in english. This year is a year of many changes and i hope you can keep up!!!

see space hill

maybe if i were greater i could make it past your make up
find a space in your heart to take up
i used to talk to myself for comfort
but i gave that burden to my maker
the power of prayer doesn't elude me
probably what made you easy to see
easier to like
a privilege to dream of resting my body at night
minus my heart
it beats for you
my future, too many dreams deferred
your manifestation, then me letting you escapes absurd
beyond words
could be why i offer silence instead
scared of fucking it all up over something i said
something i did
maybe it's all the didn't's that's my fixing
undoing me like tides' lingering touches on the beaches' hides where i scribe
working against me like it got something to hide but seek and ye shall find
a beating heart
a work of art
vexing perfection, minus your smile
you came this far, i'm asking you stay a while
stick with me for a couple miles
stick with me for just a few years
growing
growing closer conquering fears
come, let me whisper my deepest desires to ya ears
you do the same, i won't promise, but i'll stray you from tears
i care about, without a doubt, how i talk to my rib
and if all else fails, blast love grind every day that you live
i just wana chill...
