"My" people

"My" People

quest for belongingness

getting blind under the shield of

sunglasses

i really became blind

i did everything

i did whatever

imitation of a

sentence

imitation of

movements

imitation of a

warped corner of the mouth

to belong

to belong i

imitated

words

movements

warped corners of dem mouths

for this purpose i

observed people

being themselves

for this purpose i

observed people painting

identities on walls

by the time

i became a mirror

i became a reflection

i became silent

didn't tell 'em wat i be

didnt't tell 'em about my creation

i became silent

slick

like mobsters

on islands of self-assurance

dictating

rules

during this stage i

talked to masks in order to

learn what's behind

dem and dat

i talked to masks in order to

find the location of their

wordcaves

sometimes they reacted:

arrogantly or

empathic

ain't none in between cause

they condemned and appreciated

quest

they sensed my reasons

figuring out something

they dealt with in

various ways

tolerance

acceptance

rejection

this quest

quest for belongingness

feel me?
