Rage

Dear People that can't speak for theirselves,

     Why the hell is everything one sided

Expect me to be there but won’t do the same

And you know that’s not right

Turned heads

They walk away from you

And try to hide you from everyone’s sight

You tell me be patient

I’m steady waitin’

All I wanted was 50/50 but you couldn’t act right

But you want me to stay

Holdin’ me down

So I will not stray

Stand by your side

Get through the pain

Betraying myself

Because I ain’t the same

Why is it me that hurts everyday

When I called your phone

Crying that night

I wanted it to be you

To tell me that it was all right

But I was your friend

So I chose to stay

But your love wasn’t sweet

And neither was I

But we greeted each other as if we had lied

Tusslin’ nights

Fussin’ and fightin’ searchin’ for light

I wanted the truth

You wanted to incite

Sincerely

Imani Bird,
