Expressions
I'm drowning in a river of tears,
My heart paints,
A sketch of depression.
I'm drowning,
In an ocean of oppression,
My lips speak for freedom.
Like Martin Luther King Jr,
I have a dream,
That I'm not judge,
By the pain on the laces,
Of my heart,
But,
By the legacy my heart prints,
From its laces.
My mother told me,
"Life is not measured,
By the breath we take,
But,
By the moments,
That takes our breath away".
My dream sleeps,
Under my sleeves.
My legacy won't be written,
It will be carved in the sky.
In bold letters,
My prints will trend the world.
