people are not swings.
you can’t keep
pushing them away
and expecting them
to come back.

“i don’t need anybody!” i spit.
then a stranger’s smile lifts my spirits.
“i can do it on my own!” i declare.
then a breath of fresh air gives me life.
“i don’t need any help!” i proclaim.
then a soul-stirring book makes me remember.

people are constantly fooling themselves. they smile when they really wanna breakdown. they ask how are you when they actually don’t give a flying fuck. they say good morning when their life is a living hell. it seems to me, civil society is the biggest madhouse of them all.

dear world,
you can't plant
bombs in soil
and expect
flowers to bloom.
only love can grow love.

a rich man
who wants more
is poor.
a poor man
who has enough
is rich.
do not be fooled by outward show.

make something
that will live on
when you die.
find someone
who will love you
when you’re real.
go someplace
where people
dance,
idle,
and don’t judge.
anything
outside of that,
or its likeness,
is piss on the sidewalk.

don’t let my melanin fool you:
my heart loves
in a thousand
different colors.
don’t let my dialect sway you:
i speak love
in a thousand
different tongues.

unravel your own mysteries;
immortalize your own legends.
you have been looking up to people
you are on eye level with.

dance when no one’s watching;
dance when they can’t turn away.
it’s joy that builds buddhas,
not opinions.

one day,
you look up
and see a soul.
and suddenly,
a pretty face
becomes
just a pretty face.
