"rorrim" poems
When you see me
You see a peaceful joyful soul
When you see me
You see smiles and happiness
When you see me
You see a strong cheerful young man
When you see me
Yon don't see me like I see me
rorrim gnikool a otni kool I nehW
niap hguorht neeb esohw yob a ees I
rorrim gnikool a onti kool I nehW
ytitnedi on sah ohw nam gnuoy a ees I

eb ll'I yas elpoep nam eht ees t'nod I
rorrim gnikool a onti kool I nehW

When you see me
You don't see the real vulnerable
Me.

When I think of B a l t i m o r e…
I think of heads hung
low;
Tides-- refusing to flow
Closed minds & troubled eyes.
Smoke in the faces of children
Who didn’t ask to be born in
Bus exhaustion
or Natural Caution.
“Ain’t nobody happy here.”
The streets creep
With tar that seeps
Along broken glass jars
(in brown paper bags, which I need not say-
for the people can’t stand-
the memories that stay)
The faces rot!
With frowns
And heads pointed
down.
Bus stops.
Endless amounts
Of cops >
Along
Graveyards & graffiti art:
Children fussin’ at each other for getting’ smart
Girls
Goin’ to class
To brush their hair
& stare
-into the mirror // rorrim eht otni-
to paint their faces
pace-less
because they think [know]
that’s the only way to make a name
in these places
Full
of
ageless, strugglin’ sameness
graveyards
&
graffiti art.

Mirror mirror on the wall,
Mirror mirror sees it all.
From tear drops to lip stains,
Reflection of beauty and self hate.
Helplessly, hung on the wall,
It reflects the exterior from a far.
Tries to reflect the truth from within,
The eyes sees only what is seen.
Months and years pass by,
The mirror tries to show whats inside.
No,not the mirror on the wall,
But the one within your soul.

I sit and wait on this date feeling emotions I hate.
Emotions of hate , so I back track and track back to the oceans I've made.
Relieved the motions of fate, notions of safe, so I throw back this potion of sage.
Self destruction coaxing with age. A little red button toting my name.
Poking my brain, can't think straight, believe I can't to this it came.
I sneeze and visualize my carpet with a blood stain.
Theirs no ***** in my eyes, I seize varmints but don't have Thud's aim.
I'm not playing a thugs game, but I see carnage, I'm not saying I claim sane
But I've slain Satan so many times I claim Saint. That red, I claim paint, That shame I frame fate.
I just want to go back to to where I came from in the first place,
But that gate is not in the same state.
The hand I have now is different, I don't got that same ace.
Its just not the same case, From the back of my hand to outer space.
Its like, If you look into a mirror, Do you see your own face?

i want you to go home and
look in your mirror. | .rorrim g

and i want you to i
tell me what you see. k

all you're t h
right now,
is how you aren't perfect.
well perfection is a myth,
a tale,
a legend,
a story told to young girls & boys,
so that they keep coming home,
and looking in their mirrors. | .srorrim

His absence tore her to pieces
And now their hearts mirror one another.
_Each one shattered and disposed of in
A black hole of seething lies and regrets._

*You see their face
And it's the same face you've stared at for years
But suddenly it's not them
It's not the person you once knew
You're staring at a stranger
And that stranger no longer stares at you*
