oh to sink into the earth!
sodden and rancid with rain;
sagging under the weight
of too much
after too long. Drowning,
under more of the same

I will live my life alone
for I have no matching soul
it is enough for me to be whole
on my own

I have no other half
no guiding lovers hand
the only thing that lies amiss
remains my dreary soul

I belong to no one
never will I be called yours
I am mine in all entirety
in this incomplete completeness

So alone I live
So alone I may die
for a dismal truth
remains truth none the less

If I poured feelings into your arms
Heart into your soul
Would that be enough to fill you up?
Enough to finally make you whole?

It was only once i embraced the devil in me
that i realized he was never even there

I'd let myself
     Burn up in every last sunset
If it meant
     I'd become part of the sky.

So
here it goes again
the little boy whose life was never his
and the woman
whose life was always hers.

I might not know much.
But i know just this much about racism.
That it hurts.
that it scars and tears wounds apart.
that it kills and murders.
steals and slanders.
breaks and ruins.


Different people.
Different beds that they sleep on, is this how it is?
That some feel cold in a thick winter jacket.
That some feel starved even when they have enough.
putting labels on beautiful jars.
filled with the most beautiful of hearts and dreams untold.
words that burn.
burning them like paper.
are you one of no heart?
or perhaps a heart that simply has no sense of love.
that simply doesn't understand.
you say "its just a joke"
but it still burns them up with fire and smoke.
how those flowers die slowly i might know.
but i would need your help so that you don't have to know.
so that, you could put them back together and make them whole...
