The Joyfully Sad Tree or Three


Every girl has a child 

I love children but I just wanted to start fresh with somebody 

And the ones who don’t, don’t like me

And I can’t make the older ones wifey

Last year, pipe dreams

How…?

Why…?

Is it, shouldn’t say, always like this? 

Why don’t I have someone to take to Ruth Chris? 

Maybe it’s because I’m vegan?

Sometimes I’m flegan

Everything in me wants to respond to her message 

But better I treason 

Who is to blame for my current predicament? 

I always thought that she would be heaven sent

If I have sex tonight, I will repent 

But I won’t do it 

Then what do I do?

How can I continue to Zoe without a boo?

What move should I make in life’s clue?

Body craves to give and receive love 

But from who?

God is good is an understatement 

Joy is a Filipina chick that I would’ve dated 

But she didn’t find me

I’m sad that I’m lonely 

Joyfully Sad too

Please don’t remind me

Three.
