RHYTHM

I try to move but my steps are uncoordinated 

Disjuncted vibes, scattered thoughts 

I say left but I experience right

I think right but end up acting left 

If only I could find my flow, my balance 

My beat, my sequence

If only I could find it

I am like a fluctuating current without it

Stop the condemnation and help me find my flow

If my right hand doesn't align with left foot

Then my left hand has no chance of compatibility with my right foot

I'm in desperate need of my flow

Come closer, I don't bite!

  Omo, e don red oo What's the need of formal economic education when hardship teaches the best form of economics? Urgent 2k I need—who go help me? E really red oo, no jokes. I never knew I could be so attentive. Now, I'm very much aware of every single note in my wallet. Even 10 bucks no dea escape o. Aside waking up every morning, finding a forgotten note in a forgotten trouser is another big testimony of my day. Guy, e red oo.

Hello Mr . Man!   Now I need you to listen carefully to another feminist poem As a woman I'm going to tell you how strong I am,  How independent I can be,   And most of all, how opinionated I assume myself to be  But not like you normally hear it.  I am independent enough to know where I'm lacking  But sometimes I need you to point it out because I forget Independent enough to get myself what I want, when I want But I'll still love a little surprise from you...  It warms my independent little heart  I'll pin my feet on the ground and say that when the wind comes Me, myself and I are gonna keep my feet steady But I want a hype man to tell me I can do it  I have opinions too, it bruises my ego when you don't let me talk Oh you don't think I have an ego? Her name's Dora She's always exploring and trying to find things that are lost or hidden  She doesn't take no for an answer But she's always seeking help Mr. Man, ...
