Silent Moments

A SILENT MOMENT STILL A SILENT MOMENT, SHE NEVER SPOKE. It all starts when he gets out of his bed Collect his unfinished dreams then head on down for blank stares From the demons that lived on down stairs And that my friends Is when his poem starts He says A silent moment still a silent moment he never spoke Mom,love,me,find,dad,come,home Now Take back the old flashing memories and grant me with happy ones the ones That only fly when I show them how A dream can mess up a child's mind The ones that they say can kill up to nine nigga at a time but at the same moment can still hold a smile And that my friend is when her poem starts A silent moment still a silent moment She never spoke Painting perfect picture with with fake smiles She wrote Faceless people like to hold Lies Mama never gave me a place to hide My cries at night Light skin sweetie Gets a lot of beating from the dark knights in cold buildings But never gets on her knees to beg for a ride And that my friends is why she never looks u in the eye when she says Hi Looks down at street cars Hoping to catch the next guy who would take her life Pay her next bill and maybe name her wife And that's why that night She never spoke So he wrote A silent moment still a silent moment I'll stay silent till mother comes home By: PRINCE MENSAH
