I Sat
I sat down in the stillness
the light shining through
my head felt the earth shake
just across the room
I heard the star screaming
wishing for dear life
the beauty now masked with bruises
eyes masked with blood lines
I sat down in the darkness
the sun warmed my heart
my limbs have gone limp
just as in the start
I smelt the dear from the star
wanting to be free
the lovely perfume shattered
eyeing eternity
I stood up against my father
the hatred overcame
my hand held the knife of freedom
just there beneath his frame
I cried beneath the star
my mother she be bright
but when it came to father
she needed me for the fight
