The Mushy Stuff

searching for some inspiration,

looking for words to heal the nation,

it's like it's become my occupation,

to put an end to some of this hateration.

sensationally, i care with my heart,

but in my mouth the taste of failure is tart,

apart from all others I decided to  love and i know you all have too,

and sometimes we don't always get the payback that's due.

in my case, it might be because i'm not black enough,

or maybe because i come to but don't live in the hood,

perhaps, it's because i see with closed eyes,

and i know i've always  been misunderstood.

it's there's a place that's outrageous at best,

and crazy as hell at it's worst,

outside i play the hand i'm dealt,

and pretend it's ok not to be first.

trying to stay alert and attentive,

using all methods that are preventive,

keeping my eye on what;s positve,

basicly, living with the life He gives.

Oh! I love the shape of this one too- made me think of a bird or an angel, spreading wings to fly ~|~ And also, loved this line in a MAJOR way
"perhaps, it's because i see with closed eyes,
