Finally found the time to look up.
Back against the wall had me stuck.
Fear and pride had me blind
To escape by way of self love.
The anger in my heart melted by fires of truth
Knowing that leaving it all behind
Walking by faith not sight.
Made true friends along the way
A specter to old allies and confidants turned foes
Now I can see the buds on trees
No longer saplings from seeds
Planted years ago
In the here and now I’m looking up
Knowing that everything I see
Is all now so heavenly.
Just realized that I’m not crazy
That everything I want
I totally deserve
Conflict happens when I’m given shit
And I turn around like, “I don’t want this.”
They keep giving me their worst
Knowing I am and give my very best
The swimming pool has piss
Find someone else to wade in this
I can’t wait for this
Or that shit.
I resist
Resistance.
Be like water my friend
On this love island.
What is your favorite season of year? Why?
Now that it’s summer
I’m looking for you
Thought I found you on social media
Way back when
Thought I found you in church
Singing sweet and low the souls gospel hymn
Thought I found you in hip hop
A dope rhyme, boom bap, Ellington on keys.
Thought I find you in a club, gym or speakeasy
A meet cute so serendipitous it’d hurt your tooth
And now that it’s summer
Hoping you find me.
I tried to cry last night
As grief filled my chest
Not a single tear could I press
From eyes that have seen lies
Betrayal makes the heart cold
I am the walking dead
a virus that has slowly spread
Now despair is all I can hold
There you are again
Pulling on my energy
Tugging on me in my sleep
Creeping in my inner thoughts
Too scared to show who you are
Well, I feel you.
And although I can’t see you
I touch you back
Feel the length of you
In my depths
I grasp hold of you
With gasps, plees and ooo’s
Knowing that you must stay there
even though I feel you pulling.
