Long ago
Look at me
What are you trying to see
My face or under
Because judgment is what your after
That look in your eyes
That tells me no
You’re not
You cant
You wont
A blockade of disgrace
You want to fall to my face
And I believe I couldn’t
I believe for second I wasn’t worth it
I couldn’t make it
When you scream in my ears the words that expelled through your teeth
Made me drop to my knees and killed my belief
Killed my joy my innocence because I learned ever sense
The world is dark and I’m broken
And then I cried for the word spoken
I held the knife as a token to take my life because I was broken
I went through the waves day by day abused by all you say
And for a second I believed that I couldn’t make it
I couldn’t achieve but that understated
But I grew infuriated
I dammed well would be bound you sadist
My mental capacity is not through my face my skin my hair
My naps and curls I grew and accepted because for so long
You have given me death and grief burned
You see I am smart I believed long ago I wasn’t worth it but
Now I see
