Dedicated to George Floyd
the day is dead as your body
the hearts are broken as your breath
but me I am alone in a sea of disappointments and tears
that has no end or bottom
my mind is as trapped as I am in a maze of my own thoughts and confusion
save me save me now
before I go mad
for I am one of the few survivors of the competent people
for when I was a tree they cut my roots
for when I was a lion they poached my skin
for when I was the wind I was forced to serve the sails
for when I was a bird they tore off my winds
and as I am a human they took my freedom
and they took your soul
