glass heart
painted red
you are dancing but your eyes are dead

glass heart
prettied up
lines on eyelids but it's not enough

glass heart
starved all day
wasit tiny, watch her waste away

glass heart
all taped up
you are smiling but your edges rough

glass heart
pointed shards
hurting others, leaving scars

glass heart
cold to touch
i know sometimes life is rough

glass heart
icy case
inner warmth, revealed one day


my dear glass heart
please make it through
it may hard
but i believe in you
It's always the poor folk who get dropped in it,init? and ain't that the truth,isit?It's
no wonder this country is lagging behind when all that you find are the youth who put more than the truth in the words that they use to confuse,like,
I was like init,wasit,yeah and she said,'get you, king for a day',d'ya get what I mean,d'ya see what I say and that's the problem with the country today,no one can understand the native language of this land.
I blame the teachers,the parents,street preachers,Tesco,Unesco,the allied mills,electronic tills and mostly these little blue pills which make me drawl and crawl across the unlined sheet until I meet the pen that meets my hand and makes me write about the language of the land.
Banned it should all be banned and we should speak in picture frames with names wrote out in jig sawed games and the youth should be seen but never heard,an absurd idea,another flawed plan for the youth will grow into the woman or man that we are,
never far from the truth are the youth of today,we should stop for a while and hear what they say,
but we won't and we don't because the truth's too close to home,so we'll gripe and we'll moan and understand even less,
c'mon fess up
you know that I'm right.

SMALL FRAME TIGHT WASIT
OVAL FRAME MISHAPPED
IS WHAT SHE THINKS
*** THE SOCIETY TELLS HER
SHE SHOULD LOOK THIS WAY
KILLING HER SELF TO ACHIEVE THE PERFECT BODY THE PERFECT FACE
THE PERFECT FANTASY
FOR A GUYS TASTE HIS STARE HIS GLARE HIS ATTENTION
HIS TOUCH
WHEN IN REALITY
SHES A VISION OF LOVILYNESS
WRAPPED IN BROWN CONFIDENCE
DRENCHED IN QUEENDOMNESS
FOR HER BODY IS NOT HER MIND AND IF A REAL BROTHER TOOK THE TIME HE'LL FIND THE MOST ATTRACTIVE THINGS ABOUT HER IS HER
MIND
& HER
TIME
HER INTELLECT
HER SMILE
HER WARM HER LOVE HER STRENGTH
