Day 22: You Talking To Me? By Dr. Lindamichellebaron

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,

Today's poem is part 1 of 2 favorite poems of mine.

Day 22: YOU TALKING TO ME? Part 1

You talking to me?
You trying to buy me with lollipops?
I can buy and sell you and still pay the cops.
You're asking me how old am I?
Ask your mama, unless you want to die.
You talking to me?
I'm "old enough." so don't ask my age.
What I make in a week beats your whole year's wage.
When I go out, it's not to play.
Go ahead mess with me and make my day.
You talking to me?
Don't even think about my size.
I carry something that will equalize.
I'm not worried about being tall.
My game ain't about no basketball.
You talking to me?
I don't talk loud
I don't have to shout
If I don't like how you look I just take you out
Nah,
you're not talking to me!!!


YOU TALKING TO ME is one of my favorite poems from my book,"For The Love of Life" available on my website at:
