Rolling Thunder
By Kevin Robey
September 14, 2014
Vibrations grow loud as the masses awake
My sunburned blue eyes and the heroes at stake
Ideas that they call through winter and all
Their victimless crimes they write on the wall
I felt this before, their sinister laugh
When I figured out the cracks in the math
The footsteps grow with demons in tow
As I Fall into the girl from below
The thunder, it grows inside my heart
The truth that I knew, right from the start
I'll break apart down to every seam
Inside fractured shells of flawed reasoning
So just move along; kill the mass alarm
The trans girl in me never so close to harm
If I do survive, it'll be by mistake
In spite of everything I still have at stake
No one really knows the worst of it all
Of my broken mind from ten thousand falls
So damaged and bruised it's really no use
But still I survive through these days of abuse
So maybe the thunder will swallow me whole
The footsteps will crush the lies I have told
And maybe I will see the end of it all
To rise from the ash; a reason to call
