i'm half listening
i'm half talking
half yelling
i'm half breaking
i'm half light
half shadow
half halfway in between the two
i'm all heart
i'm see the world as i wish it was
i am heartbroken daily
i am ice in the shaker
-- aren't we all?
i'm just a little bit covered in tattoos
i'm so afraid all the time
why?
no, really?
i bet even just this far in you can see it
from a mile away
from a mile away
from way downtown!\
white men's voices echo in my head
i pummel them one by one like mosquitos
shoo!
aw, man that day came off the rails!
i love seeing people older than me happy
a special kind of hope
an impossible possibility
when our collectively \
X% of america is one paycheck off the street
and one service job from cynacism\
