Unspoken
Life gets hard when society begins being entirely different from being
What’s justifiably right
That’s what the irony’s like
When kids can’t go to bed without hearing a siren at night
And then you have people who are having no regard or manners
And making homes of bars and slammers
Cities blowing up like vinegar mixed with arm and hammer
But still I’m so gifted it’s alarming Santa
I find solace in these bars and stanzas
Still, I’m not using the most of my potential
But when I do well it isn’t close to coincidental
But people would tell me that as if they’re supposed to be resentful
Of my growth in incrementals
They hate to see me so successful
But when I hit a dead end
I try to keep walking
But others just try to fit in
Like parallel parking
And I know that didn't rhyme perfectly
But no one is perfect so why exactly should these verses be
My verses are a person in the sense that the words I speak
Personify my thoughts and flaws, embodying all the hurt I see
People will always try to ridicule
Whether you’re in elementary, high, or middle school
But little do they know that you’re an independent individual
With an intent on being visible
And dreaming in a demented society that frightfully seems unforgivable
Trying without relent until you’re shining at your pinnacle
And in fact, I can’t do that just by rhyming syllables
But my musings are made manifest in metaphors
And pain provokes my pen
So my bruises are what I’ll be remembered for
My name composed of them
