HOPE DEFERRED
Has the shine wore off,
Are you looking for the magic?
Have the stars fallen on fallow ground,
Leaving your heart like a dark canvass?
Does the sun lack in gold,
Shadows covering the brightness in your skin?
Footsteps in and out of the cold,
Soul serrated from the lack of a bird's song
The smoke breathes into your bones,
Oxygen deepens, freeing lungs from suffocation
Hope deferred makes the heart sick
Yell to the choking lies of life, let go
Take back everything you want
Fight for your dream that has been washed out in the rain
