Homecoming

And the distance became a prison
A wall made by miles
Me and my rusty shovel
Me and me alone
Without you and the reason
The distance made me hollow
So I dug and dug and dug
Deeper into confusion
Who am I who stands by walls?
And leans against the distance?
Who am I with great amnesia?
And whatever was our difference?
Keep me caged and solitary
Confine me to the sorrow
Never tell my secret, God
I'm breaking out tomorrow

Tuition

i quit paying attention
WHEN
i ran out of funding
don't charge me for
THIS
i won't make these
ENDS
no, not on my tab
I
must decide to
QUIT

Me, a Colony

Me, a colony
Oppressed and held captive, still
By the woman's black whip lips
And curving clothing keeping
Me on my knees and forgetting
Who I was before I was
Who I am because I was
In love the very way Iwas
Left the way I was because
My land no longer bore good fruit
And now my people starve for which
We never knew we wanted so
The colony we once became
Was all we wanted to ever know

Thank you, college education!
