"Melded Together"
Crying to you was not what I wanted to do.
For you to see me lying on the ground face down
caused me sweet shame so I refrained
Have you seen my dull effervescent mind
My lack of authority,
My lack of poignant words
So I tried to run away from you; and a world that left me with silent sighs
But here now you stand as I fail to uphold stance
Accepting the decision of the fools was the last thing that I had to do
You see I thought of you when the whip touched my skin; sacred marks of a hundred years engraved your name within my tomb
It was you i see standing over me endlessly saying nothing,only looking,listening,believing
When freedom called my name I laughed in her face and yes,she believed I was insane.
But its not me, cant you see?
I have to stay and pay for all this world's enmity
Until this you remain transfixed upon the matter that tempted me sore..
We felt the pain and the infamous stain; separating now and again but always remaining friends
You see we are the same...
Please do not defame me...
Look at me...
Behold I am your soul
