What's Up

What’s Up, by Angela Brown What's Happening? What's Up Wit Us? What's Going down? What do you do with a broken heart? I do not know how it came to this.. My heart opened, exist to resist. My sanity has drawn the line. Love and hate, my love is color blind. Wrong skin, wrong color, wrong gender - I have this problem. The problem nearly killed him. Afraid to walk in his shadow, with the idea of being afraid. Wrong colors, wrong skin, wrong age, wrong gender. Afraid of loving him. I should be crazy to love this man. I thought, I should have been the one, before me, before I leave, with him telling me, love lost its meaning, loved divided us, defined us, destroyed us. I should have been the one, telling him who I am, who I will to be, will to be strong, feelings I do not belong, I do not know why love hurts so bad. Scandelous walls divide us, deny us, hide us. raped, my identity stolen, my heart broken. Eliminate the pain inside, when you took my child, I want to die, My last will gone, wrong, done might cost me my life. Ice me, slice me. Burn me eternally. an inferno of love. What do you do with a broken heart? I do not know how it came to this.. My heart opened exist to resist. My sanity has drawn the line. Love and hate, my love is color blind.
