10 letters, to be wondered
Unsaid words never heard
Nothing nor keys, will free our cages
Do see the stolen choices guiding our future
Everyone knows, your decisions will change us
Rather you choose to see, isn’t what we are to be
Stories will be told, ourselves will be whole
Together, black and blue swollen, we will be hoping
Our cuts will be healed
Our future gardens unfailing
Do know mar...
Here I lie
6 feet from my grave
Running on adrenaline going through my veins
I do not know where
I do not know why
White colored walls trap me inside
I wished to live, not to exist
I am coded in pain
Colored by scars
Artwork a child could’ve made
Droplets fall from the clouds
Through the walls, last whispers
Prayers told from ear to ear
Love radiating all within here
Life will begin or it may ...
If I walked through the sea,
Would you follow me?
For I cannot promise that you will not bleed
For I cannot promise, you won’t hear the screams
I’m painted in pain
Color coded in sorrow
Running on fear
And praying for tomorrow
You may slip under my waves
Be trapped by what is below
You must to learn to float
Destruction is what I cause
However, I will only be brave for
I fear my mind
I fear you...
Eighty-six thousand and 400 seconds
Consumed by hours of constant hardship
Dress that way; Do it right
Look your age; don’t put up a fight
Don’t stress out; do not fret
If you mess up it’ll only create one singular mess
That’s not it; thats not right
That’s too short; thats too tight
Act right all the time
Don’t screw up it’s not worth your time
Screw up that grade
Make a mistake
Argue again
...
Born 8 pounds, 12 ounces
Screaming and Whaling
A blessing to the family that Grief surrounded
Born with eyes wide open
She’d always know love
Because that was what she was raised on
It was who she was
They’d hold her close
Grow her up on family vacations
Hugs and kisses
She was needed
She knew she wanted to be something
Inspiration bubbling up around her
Raised on the purpose
The power...
Say my name
Because I shouldn’t be prey
In a place that’s supposed to be safe
Say her name
Because she shouldn’t be afraid
While walking home everyday
Say his name
Because the color of his skin
Shouldn’t define who he is
Say her name
Because her religion
Shouldn’t cause her bullying
Say his name
Because mothers shouldn’t be afraid
to lose their kids to an early grave
Say her name
Because...
People will ask you who you are
Your shield only covers you for so long
They won’t understand the bouncing of your leg
They won’t understand the thoughts in your head
They see what you show, a masquerade of thoughts
Open to them, they don’t know who you are
You can hear their thoughts
Ring louder than bells
Piercing and Piecing what you already had been
You know that you could change
Start...
I’ve heard of her beautiful glow
Feeling the heat of her smile below
The squeak of her laughter
I can’t believe I die every night, just to protect her
She’s my singular needle
In the haystacks of dawn
A singular sunshine
I’d never fully know
She comes out in the day
The place I never can go
Oh, this beautiful light
She’ll remain my true love
Why is it not possible for the moon to love the su...
