I Am
I am a child of the state
All my life I had to wait
Eight months and fifteen days
of tranquility
BAM and everything ends strategically
push. push. push
STOP
cut. flip. cut plop.
That’s how I entered the world.
i was supposed to see the light,
Ended up in the Cay v. Vargas fight
You know, I wasn’t meant for anyone
clearly, not intended to have any fun
No start to save the day
No end, I am a castaway
I am a suitcase, sniff me
I am beer and a blunt
I am the good little child
Perfect little gift,
I complained no more than I spoke and
I was a silent little runt
Can you see my parents’ stunt
“Mama mama look at her bruises”
“baby girl that’s what she chooses”
“no Mama stop, Please she needs me!
Can’t you hear it in her plea!”
“DAUGHTER listen to me” said he
"Parents protect children, quiet being the buzzing bee".
tear tear tear
drop drop drop
“shh shh shh”
cry cry cry
I am no longer a beer and a blunt,
I was drowned in the holy water
I can see the suitcase, but no it was the mirage of GOD’s face
Every saturday I sin.
but god forgave me. Yay I win.
Remember the tranquility,
In the dark, tainted world,
Well baby girl that was a wind whirl
Now you go beyond your sight,
and show them all your might
Shh baby girl dry your eyes,
No longer shall it be you that cries.
Ever since day one,
I knew where my journey had begun
Most kids think of joy and laughter
I was trying not to shatter
I had to fight
it was more than a bite
I am a child of the state
but that won’t stop me at the gate
The gate has a lock
and nothing has stopped, not even the clock.
Mama
Father
Mother
Just watch.
