Thankful for The Angels
Today, for the first time I confessed it
And here, after a deep inhale of a courage that's beyond me
I declare my admition once again
I FEEL UNSAFE
*I am not scared of the world*
I can scale mountains
I can dive into oceans
I can ski down valleys
I can fall on rocks and be broken
All that's alright with me
I can be swallowed into dark caves
I can be cindered to powder by volcanoes
I can be shattered by earthquakes
*But I am scared of YOUR WORLD*
I can't trust y'all
*I can't trust the mummas*
The ones who were ashamed of me
That silenced me
That hid me
That tried to errase me
*I can't trust the pappas*
The ones who didn't exist
That left me no inheritance
That didn't catch me when I fell
That didn't shine light on my path
That disappeared ahead of me
That made me feel alien and broken
*I can't trust the sistas*
The ones that scratched my face and spat on it
The ones that stole my things
That ridiculed me in front of everyone
That pittied me like a pet
*I cant trust the bruddas*
The ones that stomped on my head
That terrorised my dreams
That couldn't share and couldn't care
That put me in hot water
*I am scared of MY WORLD*
I can't trust myself
The one that cried when it hurt
The one that gave up too soon
That couldn't keep his word
That lost focus and got fooled
That sabotaged himself
The one that took more than he could give
Angels exist
They're the exceptions to the rule
I can't believe they were human
They descended on my story
Some for a moment
Some for the hours
Some for a season
*If it weren't for the angels*
If it weren't for THAT WORLD
The world y'all destroying
I would not still be here
