The Way

"THE WAY" what they never tell you is, getting it together takes long. what they never tell you is, getting it together after losing it all is quicker. what they never tell you is, getting it together again and again will murder it all. this time, I picked a female who puts three subjects before me: her brothers, her kids and the coloreds. I picked a red head who has hated that she never had a father and now that she has one, she hates it, she hates me. I picked an antisocial teenager who doesn’t know if she should love or hate me. I picked a thirteen-year-old who loves me because the man her mother needed for the moment despises her. I picked a tinker bell who loves males but hates that he finally had one to correct him. what they never tell you is, getting it together for a group who never had it together can turn hatred for you. so confused, so hurt, so scared, so abandoned, so fatherless. here I am- here I am- here I am- I’m here.
