They want us to be like Martin But they force us to act like Malcom They want us to be like civil But they turn around and kill us They want us to forget slavery But they want us to remember 9/11 They want us to have a separate economy But they bombed us cause…

An idle mind, though seems no deal at all, Is like an ape, locked in an empty room With nothing but a nuclear remote control. What truly happens, when the spirit starves? When boredom is the sole thing known to us? When our brains slowly rot under the weight Of empty challenges and lack of…
Hidden Key
Sitting in silence; Time passing at the speed of light An empty room filled with blank stares Thinking of an even emptier life. Picking, pulling, biting Anything to ease my mind The sun shining through the curtains Still, my world is dark The warmth of the sun, like needles piercing my skin Nothing I do…

The bitter taste encouraged isolation. Wrapping myself in a blanket, talking to the wall waiting for it…

What if the truth didn’t hurt ? The world would be in purgatory What if we could turn off the pain ? What happens in the dark…
My Miracle
Before I knew you existed, I loved you. Before you formed completely, the stars aligned so smoothly. You’d think heaven and earth intertwined perfectly. The thought of you flows freely through the atmosphere while the wind makes soft sounds through the trees and birds, swaying swiftly through the inner layer of earth, I swear it…
