it's about time...
I was born with an African drum on the inside of my chest beating the inner lining of my rib cage,

coloring my spirit with such passion

I am forced to exhale a sigh

so uninhibited , released from a truth found so deep within

my spine shivers as if brushed with death

I kid you not

and I am humbled by it's presence

See I know the alphabet is the blood that fills these veins

cut me and I bleed scripture

a misunderstood martyr

slanging today's proverbs as tomorrows cliches

so try not and hide behind your eyelids

because your ears will still seek clarity

And these poems

continue to be written with a phantom hand

I am nothing but a marionette dancing the puppeteers dance

an untrained ballerina

I tippy my toes see ²²²²²s live this life time balancing act

walking the balance beam between black and human

from black-black-blue black to high yellow

so don't tell me you know the color of my pain

when you don't even know my real first name

shihan
