You hide
In peaceful places
Bringing unrest
That is fabricated
Trying to mutilate
The movement
From AIM
To King
You disrupted Civil Rights
COINTELPRO
Now you’re back
In Oakland
Waving your gun
Hiding in plainclothes

Everything is new to me,
Although deep inside, I feel
That I have always been like this
And you showed me
How to see the best in me

These discoveries may be simple,
But these are what I have
Always been searching for.
'Believe in yourself'
Is what I was taught by you.

You are the difference in me.

So I will use my newly-found
Courage, and ask you to stay,
For I cannot let you go,
The difference in me

she's here,
but i don't see her.

she's here,
with her dull eyes
but i don't see her.

she's here,
with her fragile body,
but i don't see her.

she's here,
with stained cheeks,
but i don't see her.

she's here,
not not uttering a single word,
and i still don't see her.

i don't see the girl i used to know.
i don't see her.

her with bright, glittering eyes.
her with an enthusiastic soul within a body.
her with that curved up line in her face.
her with too many words to say.

*i just don't see her.
1680

Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few—love at all.
