Today the study was
something against what my mom says,
Forget the past and forgive.
But the study was
look in the mirror
Reflect on the past;
it’s made you who you are.
it’s made you who you were.
it’s made you who you will be.
There’s no blueprints
no exact ingredients to how it’s made –
to how and who it comes to be.
No dash of neglect
No pinch of Easter Sunday
Not even a cup or two of stories.
I didn’t know where to go
from then on.
Sitting in class while my mind
raveled into
madness.
Testing the waters of my subconscious
Skinny-dipping in my Past –
Knowing I was stuck in nothing
but a mindf*** from it all.
And the bell rang
And I left class
And my day went on.
But I couldn’t escape what he said.
And in the shower
And during dinner
And lying in bed
And star gazing
But I couldn’t escape who I am.
