Another added year
Another undeserved privilege
Another page flipped
New chapter with old
Paragraphs holding broken
Words of lovely letters in dying
Sentences, today life gives me
Another empty page to fill
Broken wombs give birth to
The strongest of men, mentally
So, I wear the scars and tears
Of all the wars I've tried
So hard to avoid
I was born as a peaceful song
With a skin tone that screams
Like a firearm in the mind of
The pale. My chromosome and
My spiritual DNA are considered
A threat to the world, but how
Can I convince the world that
I'm so afraid of the world
But to overcome my fears,
I became the fear.
