Talking Back Nov 2020
I have a love
Of whom I cannot call out too
How many times
Has my heart whispered
I love you
As you embraced me
I have said it in every language possible
Beyond English
So i can fight this urge of uttering
The words
You do not wish to hear
Despite your cold demeanor
And pushing me away
I love you
And yet
I cannot say it
For it is you whom I love
Talking Back Oct 2020
You got me right where you want
Me
The palm of your hand
But I’m ready to leave
You’re a boy
Not a man
And waiting for you to change
Is like counting grains of sand
You never fought for me
Because you’re a boy
Not a man
You never realize what you had
Until I let go of your hand
Your actions I begged for
To late for I realize
You’re a boy
Not a man
Talking Back Oct 2020
I can remember
Your smile
And yet worn eyes
As you burried yourself
In religion
And work
No mother nor rest
In sight
And as i continue
To live in this life
And wake up in the middle of
The night
I think I understand
How you went astray
Dad,
I really miss you
Talking Back Oct 2020
I’m processing
Configuring
The time
And Calculating
The distance
That separates us
Oh the seconds
Until i see you
Once more
To God Above
I pray
You don't forget me
Talking Back Oct 2020
I never
Meant to lie
To you
You see it was at
Another's request
And I was left
To decide what I thought best
Yet
My lying isnt the best
And remembering turns my head into a mess
So instead of the stress i turned
Silent
To keep from hurting you.
Talking Back Sep 2020
Somedays
I really miss the hood
Cause unlike regular society
They won’t smile in ya face
And act like everything is all good
Talking Back Sep 2020
You called me
pitiful
As if I asked to be
The recipient
of your self hate
