In the past two months
Our streets took five
How did I manage
Not to die
Most of all can’t get images
Of how he bled
Outta my dreams
Outta my head
Feeling high
Anxiety
Why am I alive
Just let me be
Why was it
That I was spared
Who’s watching me
Who even cares
How come I
Have to live here
In legalized
Guerilla warfare
Why do innocents
Get shot down
Even if
They’re standing down
I can’t sleep
My appetite’s gone
I can’t remember
One consoling song
I can’t focus
It’s all a joke
I can’t breathe
I’m being choked
Panic swarms me
Lies abound
Firecrackers
Are terrible sounds
I can’t leave
My house no more
I don’t care
What’s behind this door
Lord protect me
Where can I go
I think I just wanna
Come on home
That’s crazy talk
I don’t know anymore
Hope is dwindling
I can’t keep score
On who shot who
And affiliation and all
I just know
My baby’s gone
Nothing’s good
And nothing’s right
Give me strength
For another long night
Wow. The real life of some. I hope this isn’t your case. I pray for your safety.
No, it’s not me. Yes, it’s heartbreaking. We never know how much someone’s hurting. Thanks so much for your prayers. Always appreciate your kind words!
Party, so glad the person is not you! We really don’t know how much another person is hurting. You are welcome on the kind words. You are very sweet.
