It was my first week of kindergarten.
The adults around me went from being cheery to glum and irritable.

I came home that day and took my back pack off, I walked into the living room to see my Dad screaming and crying at the T.V! I looked at the screen to see the planes crashing into the towers, channels replaying it over and over again.

Images of Osama Bin Laden's face replaced Saturday morning cartoons. School went from learning to constantly singing patriotic songs and how we love our country.

I could not fully retain what was happening around me but I could feel the emotions of my teachers, parents and peers rubbing off on me.

The world went from green to gray that day and now I understand why.

My mind is water
My subconscious is the ****
That holds the water back
When the **** opens
The water breaks free into the lake
As for the flood, it is my tears.

Who are you to tell us how we think? You are not capable of reading our thoughts. That's you  projecting your self hate onto us.

I see death in the form of a crow
As he watches me suffer from below.

The very city I walk in is destroyed
From riots society could not avoid.

The streets crawl with what resembles
The walking dead who do not speak
They just groan in dread

I bypass people's windows they expect  love and care.
They do not see me, I am forced to cover up my face and hair.

This is the only freedom I get for today
As my master sleeps, if I do not return
as he awakes he'll beat me until I weep.


I survive on a short leash, I can't help but wonder the city walking in the blood of those who died just wanting to make peace


My name is changed, my rights were taken.
Seeing my family and friends is forsaken.

The world became deluted and I am
now enslaved in a country where most wanted to stay.
I'm trying to make a story out of this.

Everyone wants someone to look up to but sometimes we idolize the ones who look down upon us.

People associate with others they have a connection with

People reply to the ones that they care about

Men and women date a person they're attracted to

People make time for the one's they see as important

If they haven't asked you out

If they haven't text back

If they have no time to talk to you

They legitimately aren't interested

So move on already.
I always have to drill this in people's heads.
