Soul.
In my short time here,
I’ve seen a lot.
I’ve seen pain and pleasure,
love and heartache,
life and death.
I’ve seen women become whores,
men act like boys,
children grow up too fast.
I’ve seen honesty and lies,
knowledge and ignorance,
acceptance and discrimination.
In my short time here,
I’ve witnessed far too much.
My mind constantly eating away at these concepts.
These aren’t just words,
this is what I see.
What I’m forced to grasp.
And every waking second is another test,
another journey
another broken road.
That never crosses your mind.
How could it when the only thing that occupies your brain cells,
is you?
