Sonnet
Sonnet
I wasn’t giving liberty to think.
Or encouraged to speak my thoughts
I wrapped them within a limited sink
This was simply how I was taught.
Everybody was busy, too busy
No one noticed or gave attention
So I become dizzy
My soul became detention
At this point, I began to sense hope
Realizing something greater within
Cleansing power greater than soap
My thoughts released from sin
Jesus Christ my friend
Saved me from the devil’s end.
in honor of Aaleeyah Walker and Amiyah Moore
