Imagine trees
Imagine the breeze
Imagine
watching the river flow through your bare toes. Your breathing quickens, chest rising
Falls under
pressure
Under pressure…your choices don’t dictate you the way they once did.
But
You still.
Keep calm….child the storm is far from over
Keep calm….men the pain is still much closer
My ladies I’m with you but…
Just know your ways still confuse me like I’m back in middle school
Sitting down at the lunch table
Waiting for the bizarre combinations turned sweets turned symphonies to our ears like the school bell ring at the end of the day.
But wait
I’m grown now
I have my own now
I have to WANT to have my own now.
After years of being in a team am I really on my own?
Wow
Yeah this a…
this is a problem
Such unusual matters had been deemed unconstitutional
But.
we all.
have seen it ignored before.
So why not now?
Such words had been dubbed ignorant and inaccurate.
But we LIVE to love a Lie
So who gives a damn?
I did at one point
I DID at one point.
I lived, I fought, I died in what I HID at one point.
Like they don’t understand.
Not I, Not They, Not You…
Not Him, Not Her…
Nor Dollar or Cent can’t write the letter better.
You can’t speak soul into a skeleton, once we give flowers to the corpses.
I understand it now.
I’ve been bleeding a beautiful shade of black…
…And no matter how much I carve my name in the mountain…
it will remain untouched.
I guess I’m unseen.
I guess because I’m unsure.
Unsure of what unfortunate circumstance led to the birds singing oh so early.
Never forgetting the words of the dead.
They make for interesting conversation.
Telling each story, living each experience.
Taking every loss, hitting every wall,
Running too far from home…
Doesn’t it make you happy?
