I am
Forever plauged by this curious facial expression
i am
a small part of
the human race
a group of people
a community
a democracy
just like iraq
hey, would ya look at that!
i am a being
with
some
mortal values
forgiving & living a life that chose me
i didn't chose to live in a place
of such little sensitivity
so very little acceptance
so very much talent
love & hatred everywhere I look
& i see something different in them
like the things changing inside of me
I have work to do
i have
a heart and a smile
and a story
i'll tell you my story
if you sit
i'll tell you my story if you stay a while
I wandered in
blinked
with light in my eyes
like the way you say my name
in between your sighs
i had hope in my eyes too
all you saw was a body to conquer
like a conquistador
you wanted to be my first
you wanted to be more
you wanted to make your mark
you noticed my
overwhelming smile
& you made my stomach jerk and sway
like the long car ride to my heart
my home
where i hang my heart out to dry
where i let myself just sit and cry
where i press my face into my pillow
& scream to make my nightmares go away
but the only nightmare I have anymore
is the nightmare of your face
and the fact that it's so hard to replace
or erase
like my memory
it's quick with remembering
but slow with forgetting
