I hear their voices
echoing within my eardrums
so I wish I held that remote
surrounding all buttons
press on mute
so their lies traps within
their intentions won’t reveal
hatred’s buried deep
as appreciation cannot become a lie
My elders told me
they warned me
to beware of life
cuz I’m young still
they told me I can’t imagine
how cruel life can be
how destroying one another
kills us either way
it’s called self-destruction
No no it ain’t picture perfect
cuz the smile came just to disappear
so I never had you
within my palms
the times you held
onto my hips
as we connected lips locked
had it all been part of the plan
tell me...
cuz that’s as clueless as I get
My mama warned me
she told me
“keep to yourself
remain distant from all
don’t be quick on love
be in control of your
heart, mind, body, and soul
give God all you
and he’ll do the rest as should”
They all told me
you’re young still
you don’t know how cruel
the earth can be
so I ask them,"why then
are you scared of death"
but that’s the compromise made
love agrees with hate
together they get along
taking turns to devour you
taking turns to cheat you out of life
I know..
I’m young still
that small bit of truth
buries me with depression
for I’m aware
of life’s many disappointments
I’m aware of love’s tragedies
As they’d said
I’m young still
but what could I possibly hide
I can only be me
the mistakes shall be revealed
in daylights
with no lies to bury my truth
I shall accept my fate
for I’m young still
my life’s in the hand
of the beholder
I’ll simply wait
for his replies
