one in the same

by malik5697

(i am)

 

pure intent beneath black skin

the light and the end of the tunnel

and the journey through

(i am)

a tune of expressionism

with a pencil for my body

that has to write the wrongs

     ( i am)

the ugly and the beautiful, the dark and the light

water

i am life.
