Hell's day to-morrow
and I am all out of ***
To help me sleep
Maybe I will be up all night
waiting for Death's sweet embrace
because I know that the Reaper
will bring me peace

by Arcassin Burnham


Broken hearts make broken spirits,
Tainted souls make ****** people,
ignorance makes bliss and water sprouts
a rose,
I'll always be with you no matter where
you go,
I am the tainted soul watching over
you,
I am not a man I can't do this on my
own,
this is the eighteenth time I can count
on my pride to go home,
And I'm free,
was a slave to people,
now all I could be is me.

see you in my dreams,
see you in the oceans,
see you in the mirror,
see you in class,
see you in books,
see you in the shower,
see you on t.v every night by the hour,
everything becomes clear,
but when you kiss me it just starts fade away,
and when your near,
I get a sense of reality that you'd come here,
just take me with you,
see you in my dreams,
see you in the oceans,
see you in the mirror,
see you in class,
see you in books,
see you in the shower,
my beautiful demon.

Two rights will never fix a wrong
But neither will a poem nor song
So I will say that I'm happy
Just laugh with instead of at me

I do not identify myself as a black american
I do not identify myself as an activist
I do not identify myself
As anything other than what I am
Do not arbitrate my existence
It will only magnify your bigotry
Do not lecture me
It will not ratify your ministry
Do not objectify my identity
Do not marginalize my sincerity
I know your criticism
It will not dwindle me
I am defiantly deaf to it
It will not compute
Trust me
It will only intensify
What I occupy
Do not subject me to anomaly
Do not try and direct me
I will not comply
Do not concern yourself
with my essentiality
I am not lost
Do not concern yourself
With what defines me
Just ask
If I am willing and able.
