kidnapped via time travel
to yesterday
i expect that retrospect has
taken me away
wanna swim with the current
but the past is pulling faster than
blurred words, gestures flowin out my hands
wanna mend that rip in the fabric of time
stitch it up,
overlock that
busted seam line.
such a bag lady,
i did hurt my back
wat badu
said was true
i need to
forgive u.
if i want i can change,
if i want i can stay the same, the same, the same.
choose wisely.
who said this would be easy?
no one ever.
entrapped like an animal looking for escape,
i detect that disrespect has taken my liberties away,
wanna fly cuz our design is to spread our wings,
upon the wind.
denied, each time - so i sing,
wanna record symphonies that spring from our lungs.
now chin up, raise your cup,
for all the sorrow that is sung.
i got life,
my boobies and my back.
now ms simone, used her bones,
to amplify beautiful tones.
