ATIMA (not a poem)
I'll admit it,
I don't have the guts to call out your name
And make a headline,
The one that everyone skips in the local daily
So I'm putting it here 'cause you can't yet just bury me.
Thinking about you makes me feel useless
Because I thought... I could OUTSHINE my old self
(For you)
But you make me feel like a fool!
On the way home
It took temperance to not let those tears out
I told myself "it's okay, IT'S ALRIGHT"
Thinking it'd save me some spite
Oh, but, for how long could I lie?
As soon as I saw the gate
I ran inside
Bolted the door
And streams of water were down my face
Like, the clouds had been wanting to cry for a decade
But... its only been two days.
Why do you have to be SO ruthless, what'd I do?
'Cause you're making me feel reckless,
And it's odd
How everyone loves me,
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE?
You hate me
I could tell by the way you talked to me,
So brutally,
Just because I had my anchoring attire on
For a goddamn function in YOUR home-ground!
24 years of pride,
I GET IT
I GET IT
But lord, can't you see
We are different?
I don't like what you teach, and the way you speak,
HONESTLY.
But, why is it such a big deal?
Maybe you're sweating blood
But I die too
Oh and I WISH you could be a little patient and kind
Unlike,
The cruel kings you teach us about
In that... Um... (what is it called?)
History!
More like misery,
Because don't they say "Wise is the one who learns"
& I bet listening to this hurts
But HISTORY is proof that nobody does.
I'm officially scared of you,
Of another humiliation you'll make of me
In front of the whole class
Assuming (a 100%) that my heart's made of brass!
I've still got pretty much 6 months until we're done
Wait, Lemme bet... the coming time is gonna be FUN!
Look, I'm fifteen
& you probably know what karma's WAY better
(maybe, it's out there writing your letter?)
So beware!
Incase you haven't got your share.
Because you owe me one,
(oh MAYBE, I OWE YOU ONE TOO)
Seems like you've been through shit,
Hell though, WHO GAVE YOU the right
To roll anybody's dice
ANYTIME you like?!
And hey, someday I'm gonna be the G.O.A.T
With what you see in me... that, KHOT.
But for now, don't worry,
I'll prepare myself for another disgrace (everyday)
WITHOUT ANY SHAME.
Much love.
