loving yourself
starts with knowing
that you are gold
with a flaw or two
RIDER
she was feeding love to your potential
you were seeing your bad habits
when giving love away was messing with her own supply
she went back working for herself
left you singing to your lone self
Those vibes though
You never said it to my face
You left it in the air that I breathe
What a blessing
People are blessings too
She was a blessing for a young girl
the way you moved my heart
away from loneliness into love
you made me believe
that miracles do happen
You were the one and only gift
for so many lost souls
and I pray to God that
that He will bless you too
– I will be missing you
Leave me with the love
I want his love and ignore everything else about him
Keep on aching
coming home meant
resting my head on her shoulder and listening to her voice
now her heart has stopped I have become the girl that sits outside
Come correct
You took the exit and suddenly life was treating me right again
Family
Yes, I am from the diaspora
Yes, I am the girl from outside
BUT
Maybe I am becoming more aware of my own humanity
Maybe the loss of the one who birthed me makes me feel things more deeply
Maybe it is seeing my people express their pain through tears and poetry
Here I am in front of the screen
thousand of miles away
grieving with you all
HOW?
How do you stop those lost souls
who are addicted to raising hell upon a place
that once was the closest thing to heaven?
How do you stop those empty bodies
from breaking our legs and taking away our light?
How do you stop them from stealing our soul?
Buhbye.
