Do you hear the pleas and cries?
See the carnage left behind?
Feel the pain radiated through?
Begging humanity to ensue.
Am I fodder for the stronger?
A plaything for the taking?
I’m a mother, I’m a sister
I’m a friend, I’m a lover
I see the strains and pray for change
As my heart breaks and breaks again
I have love from above
I have light and human rights
Is it my body you abhor?
Making you treat me like a *****
Or my mind in your distaste
That drives you to debase?
I am stronger than your weakness
I shine brighter than your bleakness
I am kindness in your spite
My soul brighter than your plight
I will stand and expand
There is nothing I cannot withstand
Unafraid in your degrade
My spirit will cascade
Willful of my power
I will stand against your towers
My body you might beat
But my heart soul you will never defeat.

You no longer see me, is my face not as it used to be?
Has my body that has changed, added to us growing estranged?
I yearn for your touch, the reverence of your love.
Building fire in my veins, causing short-circuits in my brain.
Not the cold distant lover, this man that dreams of another.
Is it my mind playing guiles? Wishing that’s the reason for my trials.
Is it beauty that you seek? I offer beauty yet only skin deep.
I cannot give you much, apart from my undying love.
Shall I change my looks? Be someone else to get you hooked?
Will you want me more? Displayed as a porcelain *****
Rejection breeds desperation, with it my infatuation.
I am dying in frustration and your eyes hold my damnation.

One by one they fell
Just as you cast your spell
Bricks began to crumble
Walls began to tumble
There you were
The whisperer
My torment
My bliss
My pain
My happiness
I shattered
My fragments scattered
A shell left behind
An unconscious mind
As I go through hell
How do I say farewell
I look and cannot see
I am trying but I cannot find me…

My blood runs red in my blue veins
I feel just as you do, exactly the same
Cut me open and see inside
That which is in me is beautified
So as with you, our hearts are all true
Irrespective of the color that our skin exudes
If you were to hurt me would I not cry ?
Asking you forgiveness, the reason why
Just as you would if you were to die
Be judged by the same man in the sky
Do we not love and fear?
Hope and dream for all things?
That this life would be gentle and kind
That we might live and learn unconfined
We are born and we die in the exact same way
Are similarities not enough to keep a color war at bay?
Skin, hair, money, status and power
Are these the things we fight for that will slowly devour us?
I search for a world where this will no longer matter
That for this reason no more blood shall splatter
When the color of my skin will not make me less of a person
But rather a sister to love and trust in
I want this world to see through the my eyes
See what it means to truly accept and thrive
What we could be if only we stopped fighting
It would be love and life uniting.

I saw you standing there
A silhouette of my soul
Walking right into my life
Promising memories untold
I watched as you moved and I began to synchronize
Swaying with you in utmost delight
Entranced I watched as you enslaved my heart
I followed your tune as it played Mozart
I saw your smile and it broke my soul
That one so pure could love me so bold
Your strings matched mine and played so well
Together we made a ballad that cast a spell
Yet everything is not as colorful as I thought
The world started deforming through your onslaught
I stared in shock at the magnitude of your power
Awakened by an arrow cast into my heart from your towers
I took great care to pick up my pieces
Running to your side begging forgiveness
I loved you blindly from the depths of my soul
Yet your love for me was riddled with holes
I waited for our love to overcome this pain
True love can overcome anything they say
What a fool I was to give my heart so careless
When all this time yours was empty and loveless
Now we part for good this time
I walk away with nothing but lies
Pieces and slivers of my soul lay bare
I wish you well on your journey elsewhere.

Hearken the words that flow from my *****
Eager to meander through life’s great prison
Pouring out of my deepest self
Departing secrets once carefully beheld
Give ear to the words that flow like a river
Give a moment for this inspired deliverance
Literature so pure and true
Nakedness in all its glory debuted
Stripping bare these walls so high
With only a sentence that ignites the fire
Hear the cries that torture the soul
Feel the beauty that the soul beholds
See the rhymes transferred with love to paper
See the poet, an artist, a marvelous creator ,
Spare a glance this way and see
The artist trying to break free

I watched as my feathers grew one by one
Dazzling and dancing with color that stuns
Vibrant hues representing freedom and joy
Taking away all the bad to destroy
I watched as they molded to the shape of my body
Moving with elegance, grace and beauty
Ready to take flight into the glorious night
Roaring with purpose and utmost delight
I watched as I became one with the night
No longer confined by this world’s plight
Governments, preachers, every person I see;
They have no control, none over me
I am a spirit, wild and free
I am a rock, they will never bury me
I will live on through the sands of time
Tethered through my love and poetry so sublime
Try and fail to clip my wings
I will fly above all things
Soaring high into the sky
This is my purpose, my reason why.
I am a spirit, wild and free
I am a rock, they will never crush me
I break all shackled chains
Nothing oppressed will remain
They cannot hold me down for I will never be the same.

Those eyes, those hazel light brown eyes
Watching me, seducing me, enticing me
Creeping into my mind and stealing my thoughts
Those lips, those perfect soft lips
Kissing their way into my soul
Promising a life of love untold
Those arms, those strong, strong arms
Holding me at my weakest
Protecting me from the world
That heart, that caring heart
Overflowing with unconditional love
Wrapping me up in a cocoon of warmth
That soul, that perfect soul
The other half of me made whole.

I’ve heard them say pain demands to be felt
This surely is a little too real.
Just a little to mean.
A little too… painful.
Could it be that it’s all just a dream?
Oh what this world would be like if you did not exist.
PAIN. I envy you. I adore you.
Sometimes you’re the only one that reminds me I’m alive.
The happiness is too... fake.
It comes and goes but never stays.
But you. PAIN, you never leave.
You make your home in our hearts,
And leave but a smidge of space for everything else.
You help us build walls of ice and steel.
Trapping us behind a castle of heartache so deep.
You’re a loyal companion, always ever-present.
We try and fail to bury you, what is your intent?
Alas, you rise stronger each time,
Your army is vast and your war sublime.
You crush and destroy everything inside.
Slowly making us craze while enjoying the ride.
I welcome you to walk with me.
Even in my PAIN I will find victory.
You are a master at conjuring up memories.
So I will sit and watch with you these treasuries.
I embrace your skillful hand.
In your presence I will stand.
Unafraid of your power.
Standing proud in the face of your towers.
Let us walk for we are one.
In this race through life I now know I am not alone.

Strip away these pains I feel
They are nothing more than unending torture
Wrap me up in a blanket of steel
That I might absorb your strength and power
Clip away my freedom wings
That I might not fall each time I fly
Cast away this emptiness
That I might not dwell on my loneliness
Rip away my heart
That I might not feel it crumble and break
And hold close my soul
That I might not watch as my light fades beyond control.
