Rafiki

All these years, I've been doing the same things. Bleeding and reaching. Reaching and screaming. All these years, I couldn't stop dreaming. Being desperate. Desperate and obsessive. But she was, Always there for me. She was, Always wise for me. She was, Wise like Rafiki. When I couldn't bleeding, She couldn't stop, Believing in me. She believed, I could be anything. She believed, If I could say everything. She believed, I could be in love with the boy in her dreams. But she was, Always there for me. She was, Always wise for me. She was, Wise like Rafiki. When I couldn't bleeding, She couldn't stop, Believing in me. That one day, I found out, She was be ripped from me, I screamed to God, Why do you keep doing these things! But she was, Always there for me. She was, Always wise for me. She was, Wise like Rafiki. When I couldn't bleeding, She didn't stop, Believing in me. Now I'm sitting thinking, While the whole towns praying, How I could make it. I thought of her fighting, And then I knew, I will be just like her.
