I am having so much fun writing. More then I have in a really REALLY long time. The past two days I've been traveling, so maybe I finally let myself work with the words that I have been trying to say. I'm currently in Kentucky...so let's see what happens. Please enjoy.
A Load of Dreams
So they say that the souls
of all those that cried before me were written
underneath my eyes.
That I would have to
Look
beyond the scope of what I know
to finally find what I believe.
That...
the souls of those who were broken before me
never sought for more then justice- an appeal.
To carry out the words and the beat that
was everlasting in the hearts of their mothers and fathers
that bore them.
As they all bore me.
As they
whisper into my ears the cries of retribution and as they
gently kiss
my eyelids to make me see the
Denied
Unvalidated
Dismissed
Memories and Dreams
that envelop me as I try to shift through
my own.
Because now I can't figure out what was mine
and what were theirs.
But their blood flows through my veins
and my heart echos the pounds and patter of their woes.
My feet mirror the callouses that carried them to a place
unknown,
even though my
Paradise
is different.
My hands hold onto these dreams tight with the fierceness
that also gripped their
Chipped
Cracked
weapons that carved their own path.
And as the souls of those before me
Call me
Claim me
I must take up those
Dreams and memories that haunted them
and make them what may save me.
