we shall overcome,

we shall overcome,

we shall overcome one day 

and as the crowd sings

with the exception of a few dogs and a unicorn, 

the thought of freedom seems like a dream,

a far off fairytale

from this bigoted country

but a song

a poem

a piece of art

is not merely paper or words

it is power.

  • Love poem #1

    When I am trying to fall asleep

    You are all I think about

    Aside from the lights flickering and the washing machine humming

    Nothing can take my mind off of thoughts of

    Secret kisses and

    Falling asleep on your chest

  • Icarus

    Holy sun

    Engulf me

    Charm me

    Along with the wings of those who burned before mine

    Burnt feathers

    And curiosity

    Always smell of a man who wanted

    More.

     

  • it's confusing.

    sometimes it doesn't make sense

    did these women pay attention to the fact that they were non consensually kissed

    or did no one else in the kingdom have the same shoe size as cinderella?
