Timeline Prt. 2
Floetry By: Lady Psyren
Oh I see y’all thought
I was through
Naw see, there’s more to the story
There’s more shit that my timeline
Put me through
I used to blame everything in my timeline
For the way that my timeline
Bloomed into this new timeline
Part 1 was sad
Left alone and touched
Made me feel like I was the one bad
But there more between the lines
Left out a few things that was hard to find
See no one wants to hear the truth
Nothing can go wrong when it’s your juju
Nothing can go wrong in a black family
Nothing can go wrong and that’s the sad truth
Before I ended up where I am now
This storm had rolled in
Leaving me to drown
There was this figure in my life
That hardly made a sound
Showing up every now and then
To show he had a new chick in town
I was tired of school
Yep it was hated
Never fitted in with the other black girls
From me they strayed
And you know I always wondered
“Was it me?” as I pondered
Made fun of and bullied
As I was younger
Made me feel like my timeline
Had it out for me, I just knew something else was coming
Trust
Was a thing of the past
See, my timeline knew it wouldn’t last
It knew I was a hopeless romantic
But man, every relationship I had
Felt like was trash
Met a guy who was nice and sweet at first
But he was a little cra-cray
Met a guy online
But all he wanted was head and ass
Met a guy who was married but I didn’t know
Until his wife came out to me and wanted to thrash, like
OMG TIMELINE
LIKE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?
ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME FALTER?
IS THAT WHAT IT IS TO YOU?
Alright fine you win!
Don’t make me go through this again!
Don’t make me go out and try to make friends
You’ve fucked me over, this is my end!
I’m tired of being strong
I’m tired of things in my timeline going wrong
I feel tired and helpless, don’t you see?
There’s no fire left in me....
Struggle and pain
That stormed I mentioned?
Yeah, that’s some hard ass rain
It soaked and poured
I was knocking on death’s door.
Cold and alone
Just like I was in part 1
All that happened when I moved
It was sad, I had no one
I was depressed, y’all
Talking nothing but stressed y’all
Stayed in my room
Mom kept asking questions
I was a mess, y’all
Yet here I am
I made it through
My timeline didn’t get the best of me
I didn't let that bitch rule
See, I’m done with my past
But I’m not done with my story
I’m gonna let my timeline know
Who I am and why I’m worthy
Peace
