Seasons

All these words about this guy or this girl
What about me?
In a world filled with so many individuals and life forms, I think I've forgotten myself
But how can that be? Don’t you live with thee?  
I’m consumed with other people, and their thoughts and beliefs so I started to forget Imani 
And it’s not selflessness or nobility, this isn't loving thy neighbor, it’s living for thy neighbor and disregarding thy self
I idle by as I let others go before me, their needs and demands, wants and desires
But who puts me first?

Stanza II

I lay myself down by the wayside and let them take
When their done I wade into the water and drown my impurities
I pause my life for people who are only meant for a season
Leaves turn to mulch as the sharp winds become bitter, grass blades turning to freezing ice sickles
As hibernation begins, they flee, it was only meant for a season
Knowing me I would have force it until flower bloom
Because I force things
Out of disparity, necessity, company
Each season a bit more of me gets lost, taken, robbed because they got what they wanted from me
Warm sun showering my face, blue skies hovering above, the dewy grass that has become my comfort
This time I’ll make better choices, I've written it on every inch of my body because I seem to forget
Now I’m waiting because I want more than a season to regret; if I do this giving me every season
The warm season that burns my skin
Jumping through leaves as the smell of cider fills the air

The love created in the cold
The rain that showers the pregnant earth, prepares her for the upcoming births
Give me all of that because I deserve it, and give it to me again and again for as long as Earth keeps me
I don’t want just a season anymore; I earned my full rotation around the sun

Seasons of Love

Inform

Stop, where are you going? You didn't inform me at all I’m crying, screaming, my dignity puddled on the floor But I guess maybe you didn't have to inform, an informality that wasn't necessary in your eyes So you left I don’t want to care, it’s your decision, your loss But I feel like I lost more, I’m not sure why You were the first one who was nice to me You weren't perfect, beautiful or spectacular, but for the moment I thought you were mine And I guess that’s what made you the most special of all Now I sit here alone, racking my brain for thoughts, possible answers Wondering where I went wrong, or if I did at all I have to go through life again alone, and it hurts and sucks and all of that You won’t fill my days anymore, I have to forget the lies you told Another attempt at happiness, fuck I don’t want to do this anymore I shouldn't be this tired, shouldn't feel this defeated but I do All these t...

Sisters

Wake Up I am your strong tower, I am your helper, the one to catch you when you’re falling down, and ease the difficulty of getting back up. Will I ever feel envy in the face of your success? More than likely, but the stress is not on my envy it’s on my respect; I will honor your success as a God ordained orchestration in your life, and humbly wait for mine. I am your sister, my teeth were never meant to sink into your back. I will swallow my jealously and never create strife behind it. I am human, I am trying to express my humanity in hopes you’ll return the same to me. But even if I never receive any of what I give you, I should have never honored you solely to receive honor in my name. My reward will never be found in receiving attention for simply being humane to you, society has misconceived this notion but there is nothing admirable in behaving in the way you should have originally I am your sister, defaming you doesn’t glorify me. Supporting you doesn’...
