I have tried to live my life
an exceptional opportunity,
a human being
with permission to fail.
When last I found myself in a cry,
I wondered again,
as so many times in my life,
when will I find a way to die.
There is certain exhaustion
inside a beautiful skyline
we can forget I do
how precious the world of love can be.
Need to step out of myself,
especially now,
our world is burning,
the America I’ve always known.
I felt the powder keg
the simmering loss of hope,
needing a trigger,
to explore a need.
Found myself feeling helpless
wondering what,
when will our lives
ever measure.
Those darkest times slam my entire life from childhood,
Oh listen to the hypocrisy of my tears outside their hood.
