Requiem 2019

frozen air
eats its way into the skin of my face
polluted streets
frozen vanity
framed insanity
such a lonely place

could i be right
could i be wrong
i don't know why
a broken tear falls from my eye
my eye
I'm on my own
not when I'm alone
gaze into their crowd
I wonder how to get out of here
not that i disagree
could I be too black to be
part of their party?
part of their city

could i be right
could i be wrong
i don't know why
a broken tear falls from my eye

could I be right
could I be wrong
I don't know why
a broken tear falls from my eye
my eye
