Freedom
I bless the day I realised I wasn’t that important.
Only then, did I know true freedom.

One thing to take into consideration,
Is the ones we hold down in our estimation
Are the ones who could teach us most.

Shining Freedom
Breathe in the world,
And out our years,
Shining freedom.

Lose ourselves
We sell ourselves to each other
Assimilate with each other
Crave affirmation from another
Bitch about each other
And lose ourselves.

New headlines, old stories
We say we’re outraged at inequality,
React to new headlines incessantly
That are telling the same old stories.

Dance off the scare
Tomorrow twitches and stings
Tonight I’m longing to sing
Out a chrous, an anthem, a prayer
Climb neonlit scaffold
Dance off the scare

Always empty on my right side
Always tried to dig inside
People behind the facades they present.
Truth burns in kind remarks we resent

The masks we wear
We plaster a false clay mask over clenched faces,
And hope it’s edges don’t break
From cracks our biting lips hold together.

Id
Excited clamber of animal instinct,
Retreating regret, thought that gene was extinct,
Well it should be by now.

It’s all within
Exploding smile of skipping pulse
Butterfly wings of belly lining
Too much to take in
No need to take it in
It’s all within
Living
