Before the shell

We were all the same

Before the walls

We all felt the rain

Prior to offense and defense

There were no games

Yet we played

No concept of contest

Simply the sun and the shade

At night

None slept

There were too many dreams to be had

Can you remember

When we were too busy to be sad

I am a poet based out of Brooklyn, New York. I come from an Afro-Caribbean background and I hope this is present in my work. I am grateful for this outlet and I hope to meet others interested in all forms and aspects of art.
