Insanity By Kaylah Wade


Back then I never noticed it and now I guess I'm over it I should have quoted it then later re read it can't say that I regret it Because I'm glad I learned the lesson I could never trust one fear none I'd always block it out so I'd never hear one the story goes in one ear and out the other how she so brown with a light skin mother they would ask but I'd never give answers Ironic to smoke blacks grandfather died from Cancer Is that the only way to cope with the pain prescription bottles everywhere just to maintain to be normal is a shame so I had to look further Mind fuzzed up brain fried like a murder Many scrambled thoughts still surface through my head Looking for my purpose before pronounced dead to the generation headed down the drain pick your head up read a book write it out stay sane
