Your Brownsville My Brownsville

Brownsville

Brown bricks

Brown people

Silver bullets

Red on the pavements

Blues on every other corner

Red and blue lights flashing through your windows

Black suits

White casket

Red flags

Blue flags

Black hoodies

If you’re not from there than I suggest you don’t go there.

Brownsville

Brown bricks

Brown people

Silver coins

Red store

Blue store

Red and blue lights passing through the streets.

Black pavement

White park

Red ices

Blue skies

Black gates

If you’re not from there than I suggest you don’t judge.

Summer Religion

Sweat, sticky skin.

Water. Juice. Soda. Ice.

 Hoping for one; just one breeze.

Jim said stay in today but I can’t hell has called me in.

So I go.

Corner boys,

Dope fiends, alcoholics, old creeps.

The stares,

The whistles,

Grabbing of the elbow,

 Honking vehicles.

Oh how I wish I had a khimar and a hijab to cover me.

So they won’t see my face and figure.

It’s like they never seen legs and shoulders before.

I walk with shame as if all of these eyes are Allah’s.

I desire to be covered but to much will cause to faint.

What do I do? Do I cover up like the Muslims? Or

Do I let these strangers give me these judge mental looks?

I’ll choose the second one for my bible tells only judgment that

counts is God.

  

A Train

I wonder if you felt what I felt that day.

      I never knew how sync you can be with someone.

Sometimes you just know when things are meant to be.

Riding the A train giving each other the same look than laughing.

The moment we had where I felt your breath so close to my face.                          

I’m not the easiest book to read but the way you finished my sentence boggles me.

It was only three hours but within those hours I notice how much we had in common.

You've notice I’m like a boiled egg.

Even if we never go anywhere again just know the A train will be our moment.

Lost Love Re-done

You don’t like me because of your mistakes.

I wonder if I was your biggest.

You had 3 times plus 8 years to get it right;

I’m guessing your wrong doing was making you

feel right so you didn't know how to take care of me right.

You've disown me because I called someone else your title

did you forget you gave the title away when you signed your

name on those lines. Those lines stopped our

bloodline. Only drug I ever wanted was your love.

But you only loved the drugs.

We’re like shattered glass it doesn't make sense to fix us

every time we do I end up with more scars than the ones

you have on your arms.

But; I’ll heal.

Lost Love

You don't like me because of your mistakes.
     I'm wondering if  I'm your biggest mistakes.
If I am I'm glad you never had me.
    Only drug i ever wanted was your love,
We're like shattered glass it doesn't
     make sense to fix us every time we do, I
end up with more scars than the 
   ones you have on your arms.
             But I'll heal.

No way out

dark vortex

there's no light just noise

searching for a way out

running to same place

Please let me go

cant breath;becoming claustrophobic

i wish you could let me go

so i could stop lying.
