Ive learned so many life lessons why do they feel like punishments. Ive made mistakes I walk eggshells trying to be right keep my name outta ppls mouths but they still keep talking ****.
I want to fight back im tired of being a used and taken for granted.
I help my family give my all even if its not enough. ive set the bar but no one cares to meet the standards. I dont say anything but im seen as stuck up. I filter myself to be seen as someone im not eventually the truth comes out. I want to be loved and accepted but I hate becoming someone im not someone I dont understand.
Im able to show my world but others dilute my vision.
There was a time:
(do you remember?)

When we stood above  the world
& saw

The violations of Sacred law

& knew we were the Remedy

-=•

What a time!
(Such a time it was )

(Do
You remember?)

When we were brave
& we were free

Free enough to dare step between

Our children & the "criminals"

••

There was

The planting of the Seed
Of
Human Dignity

BUT

Our destiny?

WE LOST!
THEY WON!

(How come?)

••

Because

We weren't really
Brave & free

At all

ALL WE DID WAS TALK!

(We never tried to do --- a thing!)

••

(Do you remember?)

When we betrayed

Ourselves & the Sacred law

WHAT A TIME!

(what a time it was)
how the flowing
wind squeals at the
sound of your
concrete smash. fool,
the wind may carry
you on Her back,
but your  infintismal
against the screeching
yelp of Her translucent
lips. that fire smitten
jungle howler will
blow your face off.
Do you remember
it seems as if it was only yesterday
yet it was almost a lifetime ago
that he left her
and the music that was playing inside her
abruptly stopped playing
and silence filled her hollow chest
where her heart once beat
to the sound of his voice
Why is it that everyone leaves me?

Everyone quitting on me
Really makes me want to quit on myself...

"You can't rely on anyone else,
Because even your shadow abandons you in dark times."
She says, she can't sleep
I say keep your eyes shut
but, she opens them and that is when
I hold her closer,
breathing deeply murmuring sleepily
I love you.
