Four Poems by Felicia Baker

Getting Even

A knife, with its blade freshly sharpened
A gun, with its barrel freshly cleaned
And a woman with her hair freshly washed and the thought of blood and revenge on her mind
she slowly takes of the skin of her victim as an air piercing scream is let out
BLOOD!
yes just what she wanted
BLOOD and more BLOOD
victim #1 is now dead
Now she moves on, revenge paid she's now even with the man who killed her sister
Now she takes the revolver in her right hand
Places one single bullet in the chamber
CLICK!
nothing,
CLICK!
nothing again,
BANG!!!
She no longer moves, or breathes, she no longer can pull the trigger
She feels satisfied

Feelings Within

The first person to tell me his feelings
Is the last person I put my trust in.
The first person to love me
Is the person who I run from.
The person who trusts me
Is the person who hates me.
The person who believes in me
Is the person who gets let down.

I'm not you,
I'm me.
I hate you,
You hate me.
You turn me out,
And there's nothing I care about.
You yell at me.
Trust me,
Sometimes I yell back.
You talk shit.
Trust me,
I can talk shit too.

People don't understand,
But only because they don't want to.
I understand, but only because I have to.
And it scares me.
I'll be you
And you be me.
Now you tell me
Whether or not you see
Why life means nothing to me.

Why Is Life?

This is a wild and crazy world we live in,
As the time travels and men sin.
This happens every day and night,
As our mothers and our children fight.
When the hot scorching sun shines down,
It slowly burns all of our villages and town.
So much loss and pain,
You loose more than you gain.

The world is a cruel and evil place,
People are judged by their race.
People are people, don't judge by there face.
Black or white we are all the same,
Life isn't a judging game.
People hate because they can,
Just like a woman can hate a man.
Even if the sun burns out,
People will still find something to discriminate about.

Reality

When you say that you cherish our friendship
i believe you
when you say that your love is true
i believe the words you say are true
When you touch me passionately
i feel you

But when you walked away
I crushed you
You cant always act like nothing's wrong
And you cant fix everything with a song
you might not see...
But i do see what your doing to me
No matter how hard you try to make me see things your way
all i see is the millions of ways you're trying to kill me today
