Man
I hate you, absolutely despise you.
But that isn't completely true.
You've destroyed my creation, rather quickly you fell.
I try to hate and despise you,
To rid myself of a mistake I created,
But I can't.
Why can I not rid myself of you
Why do I continue to care for your failures
I think I know why, but i fear that reason
If i admit it there's no return, no reprieve from your cries
So I wont say it,
I'll continue this lie, I'll believe these nightmares.
So as I said before,
I forgive you.

Your heart bleeds patriotism
My heart bleeds sorrow
Your body bleeds privilege
My body bleeds suffering
Your mind bleeds ignorance
My mind bleeds in response
We are not the same nor will we ever be
But how long will it take to respect me
Why coddle me with fake pity
We know this never ends pretty
I’ll give up what you call a senseless fight
as soon as you genuinely attempt to see our plight

Darkness is the absence of light
Light is the banishment of Darkness.
Never can they exist without the other.
For Light could not truly be appreciated without Darkness.

The Calm
Holy Holy is The Lord God almighty
We stand together to sing His praise
You say you love Him, but to me I'm amazed
That you can Love God but sin against your brother,
and remain totally unphased
I can write essays about how you sit and dispraise
the opinions of  your brothers and sisters
Or sit silently with uncomfortability in your gaze
Your lack of care to the matter is unsettling, it begins to abrase
at my love for you all, it sets me ablaze
The Lord you love spoke to the woman at the well
but when you talk to me, I don't always feel as if you mean well
I'm not calling you a racist, but your uncomfortability shows
That you want diversity, without discussing adversitiy
or seeing that still the cold winds of your ancestors blows
You hide behind the politics of your mom and your dad
Trump got elected, you couldn't say you were glad
Because people in your fellowship hurt, and that's always bad
but at home there's excitement, tax dollars to be had.
you hide behind your politics. I hide behind my God,
you hide behind your privilege, I will call you a fraud
I am hungry, didn't feed me
Chained, you didn't free me
But you serve a God of the oppressed
I am thankful that He won't say that you didn't see me.
Church hurt is the worst hurt..."God fearing people" Putting politics over god, putting America over God, putting the the people of God below American values. looking at a person's papers over the God that loves them. It's deep, a "God fearing nation"....

If only I wasn’t stupid
If only I wasn’t ugly
If only I wasn’t a *****
If only I wasn’t skinny
If only I wasn’t trash
If only I wasn’t insecure
If only I was a better person
If only I cared more
If only I didn’t give a ****
If only I was funny
If only I was better
If only...

Two sides to the same coin.
They praise me, help me, take care of me. They are my guide to light and protector from dark.
A trophy.
They hurt me, they abuse me.
They feed me to the dogs and watch as I squirm with contempt on their face.
I am a tool to be used and discarded nothing more nothing less.
A slave.
Both sides are me.
We are one in the same.
It is forced upon me to wear these masks.
What am I?

Feelings of hate,
Disgustingly late,
What will it do?
What shall you prove?
That your disturbed,
Genuinely perturbed,
Don’t make me smile,
I’ve been done for a while,
Let’s do the math,
Historical wrath,
Dislike of the colored,
You idiots uttered,
You expect no reprimand,
Yet want me to understand,
There is no trust,
That is now dust,
So *******,
And all ya people too

— The End —
