9/21/86
Date of conception
Left my mothers wound
a fresh soul, no direction
Cold hearted
I showed little affection
Ain't nothing special
A figure some what intellectual
Passion unwanted
Some what sexual
September 21 is just another day
Presents of tragedy
is all pain could convince
Holy ghost tried to badger me
Refused and it's rained ever since
For what it's what it's worth
I feel dead
It always seems
to shower over my head
No cake, NO hot date
Only a baby’s wake
two days late
September twenty-first
is just another day
Sixty second contractions
DNA split by the fraction
I've been cursed
How can I comfort this hurt
Tattooed
Fingerprints on my shirt
Love letters
From angels above the weather
I feel as weightless
as a baby doves feather
don’t cry,
For temptation
Won’t let me say goodbye
Smile September twenty-first
is just another day
