In which a millennial black boy discovers the power of his thoughts and the impact of a pen. The consequences thereafter are devastating.
A collection of shitty poems and real life experiences narrated from the perspective of a charcoal dreamer.
My shattered heart, Ripped apart due to wear, Goes out to you In pieces.
One to you The other to your 22 enigmatics Listening to your voice On repeat.
But now, singing their own songs like purposeful doves
I hope you hear them By the beach But, their melodies will hurt you If you don't press pause some time soon.
So, in time, take out their vinyl, Replace it with yours, And raise the tune high above your head, High enough so that they can hear it, even in the sky.
Author's Note
I wrote this right after the tragic event in Manchester (at the Ariana Grande concert). In a place like that where people just go to have a good time these things hit hard and I prayed Ariana and the families would find the strength to overcome that devastating moment. Then Ariana followed through with that last stanza by having the benefit concert. The strength that must take is inspirational.
