In this present moment a girl uses makeup to cover bruises left behind from an enraged father,
Right now a boy lies to his mother that he's sick when in reality last night's party left him with a major hangover.
Did you know that a baby just took their first steps into this world?
Right now a dad tried to convince his son that they had to move so he could go to a better school,
not because of the gang violence outside of a front door that would educate him to be nothing more than pants that sagged below waist lines,
Right now I spoke to a group of people who felt drained from Pain stained lost gain,
who were wrapped tightly in doubts and thoughts not to be taken lightly,
aside from everything else they all felt numb, dumber than dumb because the pitter patter of the insecurity drum caused their ears to go deaf,
They all seemed to be left between dilutions and conclusions that all that they had left was the hope that went stale in frail souls to gentle to survive on their own,
These people knew pain but
didn't quite know my name but knew that deep down I was telling their story, their love loss,
Their nightmares, fears,and years of endless tears,
Their smiles,and trials,
Their fights and nights without hope's light,
The grudge they held from people who judged,
I spoke to a group of people today, who had stones for hearts, knifes for tongues and glass for eyes,
I spoke to a group of people today, who feared their own voice, so I spoke for them,
Right now, my words hung in the atmosphere as tears found cheeks because the week made them weak,
(PAUSE!!!)
Someone needed a message to carress wounds hiddened from the naked eye,
The same wounds that would sting when the corners of lips raised to create a makeshift smile,
The very same wounds that were inflicted when conflicted thoughts went to war on the mental battle ground.
These words that escape these lips came from the most high,
Telling me "go to the lowest low and use the gift I presented unto thee,..to help set my people free!"
