Couldn't cripple you with fists
so they did it with their words
Decades old
loud as an hour ago
So distracted by voices past
you can't see the joy
in a future waiting
for you to create it
You'll never find yourself
never be yourself
in the darkness
or the light
until recognize
face
and go through
the fear
of what you didn't do
and
what you could've done
to stop the voices
mid-sentence
