They cut his chains
Without asking
They cut his chains
Without telling
Him
They cut his chains
Without asking
They cut his chains
Without telling
Him
Her name was difficult
From a land he’s never seen
And her face was delicate
Unlike anything on T.V. screens
But her story was not a movie
It’s one that have never been told
And she keeps quiet
Hoping the story will get old
And no other will be created
With such cruelty and pain
Still he wonders how to pronounce her name
I WAS HERE
You scream
As their faces wrinkle with shock
I WAS
A dust in the air
A fly on the wall
A beautiful scent
A flower that grew tall
I was here through it all
And I have never left
Nor will I ever go
I am here body and soul
For we can never die
We merely transform
A change in desire
Shifted the view
And now
I no longer fear you
Future
You are never to be realized
Lost between present and past
For tomorrow will always turn to present
She found it odd
That she could not fly
They told her she couldn’t
But she didn’t understand why
So she jumped from the highest building she could find
She knew that her wings would never leave her behind

I’ve searched for her
Time and time again
She chooses to hide
Underneath my skin
…
Eyes opened so wide
Searching for what’s inside
Where have you gone
Little child?

Not much difference between you and I
Branches bare
Extended to the sky
Feeling the leaves falling
Insanity calling
And our heads remain high
We’re not different, you and I
Our roots extended beyond our view
And we are judged by where we were planted
Not by what we do
We bare fruits that offend the palate of few
But oh they don’t know the healing that we can brew

Welcome back, they said
As I was born
Eyes refusing to open
Mouth protesting existence
-Another life time to live?
Another lesson to learn?
I have lived too many lives to count
Yet I am still being reborn
For a lesson I refused to learn
I remember when I was maybe eleven
I had to wake up as early as seven, rush to the neighborhood baker
He made our street smell like heaven
The fresh bread gives me warmth on my morning walk
And a lady sitting in the street
selling something to eat
Breakfast routine that I love to remember
Memories of early December
You scream out and they forget why
You awake and start to cry
-Oh this earth, I longed to view
Oh this earth, has room for but a few
And I was chosen
And after the choice
I was frozen
For hearing my new voice
So let me scream a moment or two
For soon I’ll forget what I came to do
.

Do you remember your purpose?
