"surender" poems
I will never give up on you.
No matter how hard the tide pushes,
no matter how strong the wind may blow,
I will stand with you,
strong and tall.
You,
are afraid and brave.
I,
am terrified and resilient.
Together,
we are in love.
Together,
we will overcome.
Together,
we are one.
Nor hell or high water,
will tear us apart.

Surender your sorrows
And save yourself
Set your sights
And sing your song

Waving my tattered coat among
the waves of anger that floods
past me.
I surrendered before this even began.
homeless lullabies filtered though
my sleep the screams and echoes of
a singular piece of lead silencing others.
But the azure bleed cerise on the pavement.
Taking identities of fallen heroes,
never questioning but shaded beyond morals.
A tide was crashing upon the pavement of
society.
There didn't seem to be a life of Black & White.
but the fact that I seemed to be less
of worth than others pigment.
I held my tattered coat visible to those who
where dressed as if for war.
I was the first causality of the night,
hands up in surrender
But as bleed on the floor I thought
"Why me"

***I've written them all down
The terms of my surrender
I've had them notarized
Ready to pass them all along
Things will now be better
Once it is that I surrender
The terms and the conditions
I'm giving you my all
I'm bringing out the white flag
Waving this way and that
With everything that I have
I'm coming over to your side
I'm showing you I mean it
The opposing team I'm leaving
A classic case of treason
I'm laying down my life***
