~MY UNREQUITED LOVE~
By: Lola Madison Laree Mendez
Skin so soft, love so real,
Our hearts have yet to connect, your body I want to feel.
Where are you my love? Why don’t you come and rescue me?
And take me away from this loveless life of agony.
The tears I shed for you are sincere, I am hurting inside
To be able to touch you, kiss you, breathe you, you know someone to coincide
My coitus ways has kept up apart
But I extricated my mind and I keep you in my heart
To adore someone that never existed, this unrequited love that I’m in
Is keeping me weary and devitalized and pulling me towards the darkness within
I use to be able to deal with the fact that you haven’t come yet and you are so far away
But now unrequited love I need you, because my best friend died the other day
It kills me to have no one to love me the way that I love you
Hopelessly wanting for you my love to say those words “Yes baby I Do”
Challenged by life’s everyday obstacles I don’t know how much more of this I can take
And having no father to walk me down the isle just puts the icing on the cake
I am beginning to give up there’s only a drop of hope left in me
If you are even out there I wonder, I guess one day I shall see.
Skin so soft, my heart won’t heal,
The day that my best friend died, is the day I decided to kill.

I believe this was written in 2007
This poem goes along with a paper that I wrote about a girl who has lost the only people that she could trust and in the process of trying to make friends she gets hurt and betrayed not knowing who is loyal and what that even means anymore...
Loyaltee
Loyaltee is having a person’s back no matter what they do!
Loyaltee is being faithful and always staying true!
Loyaltee is being honest and being a good friend!
Loyaltee is communicating, even if the truth might hurt within.
Loyaltee is standing up for that person even when you think they’re wrong.
Loyaltee is being there when they are weak to help them to stay strong.
Loyaltee will tell it like it is in your face and never behind your back.
Loyaltee is a go-to-friend and a Christian that’s a fact.
Loyaltee will understand when you need some space, when you turn them away.
And when you call loyaltee crying they will be back the very next day.
Loyaltee is someone you can count on when the rest of the world lets you down.
Loyaltee has the antidote to turn any frown the other way around.
Loyaltee is that person you can call any hours of the night.
Loyaltee is also the one who has your back in any fight.
Loyaltee is someone that never lets you forget your dreams and your goals.
Loyaltee is also the one who tells you about the Man that will save your soul.
Loyaltee is comforting and always there till the end.
So if you want to know who loyaltee is you have to look deep within.
Loyaltee is having a person’s back no matter what they do!
Loyaltee is being faithful and always staying true!
Loyaltee is being honest and being a good friend!
Loyaltee is communicating, even if the truth might hurt within.
Loyaltee is standing up for that person even when you think they’re wrong.

This was written for a class May 2006
this poem focuses on the "racism" within my race.
Complex Complexion
Life is hard being a light skinned black girl
because not only am I judged by my own
people, but I am judged by the world.
I'm constantly told that I think I'm all that because I'm light
and my complexion is to close to the race called white.
Being called names like "White girl", "stuck up", "In the house nigga",
"high yellow", "light bright close to white", who would of figured!!
Hurtful words I hear from African Americans like me.
Why am I being judged because I'm light? I'm still black can't you see?
My own aunt told me once that I believe I’m better because I’m light
Because I get a lot of things that I want and no one puts up a fight.
It's not my fault I'm light skinned God made me this way.
But I seem to hear negative things about my complexion from people everyday.
A lot of people don't like me because I'm light!
Don't talk to me because I'm light!
Talk about me, hate me and disown me because I'm light!!
But I'm proud of my black heritage I would never deny that.
Having a light skinned complexion doesn't make me less black and that’s a fact!
So next time someone see's me and they think I think I'm all that because I'm light.
No that’s not the reason, I think I'm all that because I'm in college and
smart and doing a lot of things right!
