i will kneel on broken glass as
my blood stains the pearly sheen so that
you will see i've resorted to my last option: begging
before you (as a woman should be) to rip
the cloth around your eyes away and
i go to school these days & i'm scared i'll get shot
earbuds always in, trying to drown out my thoughts
fall to the ground, let it all float away
look me in the eyes & i'll believe every lie you say
always carry your keys between your middle and ring finger
never have your wallet visible
don't listen to music in public
everyone's a stranger
you're our child; don't scare us.
