Their tears, they flow down and beat on the pavement
Victory long fought for temporarily found
They never surrendered
They never lost hope
They pushed forward
They fought
They stood tall
I'm gay, I'm straight, I love, I hate, I appreciate I disrespect. I'm smart, I'm dumb. I feel but I'm numb, I fight but I fear. I seek, I hide I run but I stay in place. I won, I lost, I gave it my all. I gave nothing.
When life is no longer mine save the series of smiles
and know it’s been hard, these past few miles
A race.. No, a chase? From what I fear most
To know that my body might inhabit such a host
One side will win
no the other will
the happy must
but the darkness always does
two sides
my body in two
my mind in two
one is the sun
the other dark moon
joy and joy and joy
Sometimes my house is not a home but a prison
From the front yard it looks like a lovely family
But the grass isn't always greener on the other side

Do you remember when you were a kid?
your ultimate fear was the monster
under your bed.
You thought it’ll drag you down in the dark and eat you alive.
This is an ode to the quiet suicide attempts; the suicide attempts that never existed to anyone else, the silent aching and scrubbing bloodstained nails with soap and raw hands and binning the evidence.
I've seen the Demons
the ones that keep you away
The ones that make you hate
and the ones that tell you to stay
I've seen the Demons
that make you ashamed
Because you wish I'd never seen
I guess you forgot who you really are from all the brainwash,
You're not conscious.
Wake up brothas and sistas,
But be cautious!
Don't be a house n*gga,
Don't be a coon!
