Sloppy Seconds by : Camille Smith

There is no such thing as second .

At least it ain't to me .

My father told me to change the world and be the best that I can be .

Always come isn first .

Fuck second place ..

Cause second place is only what they give losers to save face .

I refuse to be number two..

Being an option just won't do .

& this is a lessons I had to learn not once But twice .

Always giving and making that sacrifice 

For someone who's not shit .

When you lay down with dogs , it's true that fleas is what you get .

I'm a woman of character ,

I'm more than just my hips .

More than just a pretty smile 

& full and supple lips .

I am smart , beautiful and talented .

Go and spread the news ..

Honestly , I'm blaming this on Dr. Seuss .

Teaching me the basics of how to match A simple rhyme..

I'm slowly developing into a literary mastermind .

All of these are not traits of someone who is number two.

Being sloppy seconds will never be something I am used too .

Picasso By: Camille Smith

Picasso .
A genius at his craft.
Artistically he is what Biggie would be to rap.
That's opinionated of course..
He could be considered Tupac..
Who was musically what we would compare as the Beatles in rock .
My craft is my rock .
It is what inspires me .
The poems I write always come from deep inside of me.
I am my notebook , as my notebook is me.
Together my notebook and I are going to make history.
I have a higher purpose , & that's for people to hear me .
For everyone to feel me and get to know the real me .
My deepest fears , secrets & treasures are the very things that make me.
People hate me .
They want to see me fail ..
It's the saddest shit I've ever seen
But still I will prevail .
I will go places that I never dreamed that I would see ..
& Everyone that supports , of course is coming with me .
Creatively I Wonder.. Like Stevie
But I'm always humbled cause lyrically there are others that will eat me ..
That's just the food chain..
Resentment and hatred is all apart of the game..
I have a sound and a voice all I need is a name ..
& I will shine in this industry like  the sun does on a window pane..
I believe that my poetry will change the game ..
It's not the money I'm after or the fame .
Its the recognition of true art that I seek
& to accept that I'm ordinary would be to accept defeat.
I'm extraordinary .
My words sweet like the nectar dripping from a ripe Georgia peach..
My messages , they're deep.
Reaching inside of your mind , my passion makes you think .
Things that were once black and white are now bright and pink .
My purpose is to write the ending that no one can fore see .
It's all up to me .
