There to Here
From Hip Hop
To hip not
From Brogans, Stacy's, J's, and Reeboks
To Crocs, flip-flops and socks
From wholesome savory dinners with family
To Uber Eats and Doordash alone while scrolling IG
From there to here...
The place we're headed is what I fear
From warm hellos and subtle nods in passing
To silence and cold stares and masking
From brothas asking sistas for their hand for a chivalrous dance
To I don't wanna dance no mo' and no romance
From long walks hand in hand
To text messages neither understands
From there to here...
The place we're headed is what I fear
From wishing upon a star and sailing into another galaxy
To incessantly hide and play under the moon while feeding the monster called 'jealousy.'
From invaluable lap time
To TikTok and blurred FaceTime
From 'Yes Sir' and 'No Ma'am'
To simply, I don't give a _______
From there to here
The place we're headed is what I fear
