Egyptian Skin
,
,
Take a breath.
Answer your seeking heart.
Spread your wings.
And just flee your life.
,
Flee the hate
and the pain.
Flee the accusing glares
and his soothing words.
,
Dagger gleaming under your pillow,
your fingers wrapped around it every night.
Wanting to grasp it,
cut your skin until you bleed.
,
His calm voice rips you from your thoughts
of soaring with your mom and dad.
You teer your gaze of the window and the endless skies,
smile at him, knowing he'd never invade your mind.
,
Looking at her, who never knew the pain of being feared.
Looking at her knowing
that you'll go to your room and grasp the dagger.
Cutting your tights and your wrists,
hiding the wounds underneath long sleeves.
,
Every time you walk the streets,
you hope nobody looks at you
and sees your hair.
The kids always told you it's the most beautiful about you
but you know they're just saying that
because they want to play outside in the sun.
,
They all fail to see, what it's really like
to be a black skinned woman
with oddly coloured hair and eyes of a ghost.
