Try…and I keep tryin’ and keep tryin’, but whomever forced me into believing that this process was easy was lyin’, defyin’ the reality that my brain always tries to live in. For, I see, and want you to see that when the hood comes off, the masquerade down, the façade eliminated, then we can see the dreams that we have actually precipitated. My eyes dilate at the thought of getting back our souls that were bought for infamous videos and street corners that were advertised as desire, but now entrap those too foolish to see the ring of fire. My ire leaves me set in stone, not able to call my own home HOME simply because I believe it is an empire. So, I escape into the arms of someone who will take me in, who is not necessarily the color of my skin, only because I actually had the preconceived notion that this situation may have actually been better. Only to return to the tattered ruins of the block where I rode bikes, never had to fight, let my wonderful dad and ever-hard-working mom carry my plight for me. So I invented a story, it was my own morning glory with truth as its seal, but no one will ever get past the shield.
Because I’m sitting here, feeling like never before, but not like the arms of that person that other people have the audacity to consider a whore for simply taking the time, willfully, to explore, and eventually find out that that is not the place she should be leaving her lore. What’s in store for me now that I have no shoulder to lean on? Dreams gone, mean song, no funny business, no damsel or mistress, no person that I keep running and running and running to time and time again, just to escape the inevitable truth of eventually, the real you will appear like, “POOF!” in both senses of the term, and finally a school will get proof that someone can live a different lifestyle. Oh, but since my words are only of a small child, rampaging and defaming like he’s wild, no one will ever understand this metaphysical. My force that was centrifugal is gone with no replacement. And I can’t face it, so
I’m going bananas, letting my soul be devoured by inspiration-hungry piranhas.
And until the feeling returns, I have to let everything I do be burned and sit here, abyss-driven, waiting for that person that I have finally admitted to myself that I yearn…for…
