In the depth of the dark
I heard a voice inside of me
Saying
Why do you have to hurt me
Why do you care about others more than me
You give me pain
And you expect me to heal
I sat there, wondering
Whose voice is this
After a while, I realized
It is my little heart
I am sorry little creature
I always ignored you

You’re looking for a clean needle in a hay sack
While I’m searching for answers in a pile of nails

By Arcassin Burnham

Speak to my sanity like you would do my dad,
convey me like you would do my mom,
i was born in a world so untamed by the evils that
clashed , homeless people don't even get a pass,
masses controlled , careful don't cut your foot
on this thin glass,
don't care about mommy and daddy's past,
if anything I'll be smart enough to see what they did,
as they look back,
Hi nice to meet you , I am their little one,
first born and hopefully the only one,
I got an open remedy for the stars and sun
peaking into the universe like I ain't never done ,
wrong my loves , if you don't love me than I sure
understand, I know my parents will teach me the ways
to be a woman or if I'm a man, I will be as noble like the
Gods in greek , as poetic as my dad, like my mom too sheek,
now tell me , what's harmful about this peace?

Limited existence
Never limited by existence
To make a mark

Covering my exposed
When you know it’s cold
Warms my whole body
Because it’s love
That it knows
