Within the cracks of shadows,
I hide, within every layer, a contorted
Silhouette, crawling so as not to be read

Baby, read aloud to me, popcorn  
I long for school days, innocence
Popcorn passes, the anticipation
So i call on you…

Spotlight acts as a searchlight, killing
On contact, obliterating
Darkness, exposing those beneath
The layers, like me, who’ve laid
Barren, naked, yet unexposed
Read me now, read me without
Verse, without eloquence,
Sophistication or allure
Read me as you see
