Blessings
bless
the church bells ring as hard as they can
what am I doing here?
the angels step down from the sky
sing me to sleep
Bless
my mother sacrifices her gracious time
she cares so much
how did I get so lucky?
my siblings provide support
cry myself to sleep

the sun rises upon the horizon
the Philippines is bright and beautiful
why have I not been there?
the food satisfies my treacherous stomach
sigh through the day

i am a free human
the time for darkness has passed
where has the time gone?
connect to the Black people
I have lost what is mine
screaming in the past

skittles rain down atop my afro
the rainbow flag obscures my view
would I change anything?
provide me with a loving relationship
dreaming in the silence

the future is a daunting bell
ringing hard through the sky like thunder
will I be okay?
I stay positive through the pouring rain
the future is a welcoming light
smiling right now
