Poem
My comfort zone says
I am free to educate
Go out and play
Fearless of becoming a prey
My comfort zone says
The wonders around
Those unfairly crowned
Temporary matters
To awake and to astound
It’s not that i’m not kind Living a life i can’t leave behind When cultures pretend not to understand Setting foolish behaviors on rewind
Sitting on our knees Beneath the roots of those trees
We prayed for a moment to seize
Away from an internal heart freeze
I got to know most of the women in my town When we were buried alive in the underground They heard no sound We drew not a single frown We believed in God And choked in sand
It’s in the air It’s in the water It’s in that stair
It’s between those lines It’s in the home It’s in the direction signs
It’s who we are It’s in the clone
It’s in the scar
In the fragmented war
