Carrying the weight of my innocence
Shapeshifting gunpowders to statuettes
Moulding the liberty my ancestors gave me
Mouth a well, heart weathering like rose petals
Do you see me?
Allowing my silence breathe
As my mind seats on the shores of chaos
Strangling my joy for someone’s happiness
Making my expressions feel not mattered
Do you see me?
Moore like midnight rainfalls
Listening with one ear falling apart
Goodness taking the streets deep within you
Basking in the sunshine promised and not seen
Hearts dying by the alarms of your mannerisms
Choices made, loyalty rewarded into the graves
Do you see me?
Smiles pointing like arrows
Made to bounce like basketballs
The heart is dizzy, made to feel imprisoned
Left to feel like a secret, still here, anonymous
Leaving my bones to struggle to meet you
Following my heart, I love you differently now
But do you even see me?
Just because I laugh doesn’t say I am here
Just because I stayed says I am still a friend
If tables were to turn any way
I wouldn’t tame your joy for someone’s ego
Not even if I have an ocean of gold to loose.
