Think About Me
Will you think about me after funeral fees are paid, as I lay cold and embalmenated? Will you think about elated times we shared, or bad times that bared rotten fruit of our relationships
Will the sips of sin I drank from bottomless cups quench thurst of shortcomings in the eyes of you
Will triumphs and failures fall short in your perception of me, for we all are far from 360 degress perfected. Will my resurrected soul be judged by one, tears caused by selfish actions, or good deeds I've done?
Will you think about my dimpled cheek when I smiled, or reflect how I turned smiles upside down if I failed you
Will times be remembered when I carried you, but released grip of helping hand that slipped away. Good and bad intentions run within me everyday. Identity wavering
Will you pass judgement against me with dirty hands of your own, wipe clean leaving smudged prints of hurt on my hurt
Will you think about me?
Will you remember my legacy blood ran through these veins, the stains of pain prior ancestors endured. Beaten and lynched from trees that appeased hate in evil heart of men
Will you defend my character good or bad. This heart I carried all I had, emotions not shown to naked eye. My cries inward...maybe the reason why I'm so complicated
Will you disect my flaws, my gains, my pain, this vesseled body remains forever flowing like tranquil waters deep yet untapped
Will the fact my quiet demeanor reflects daily under the sun, stars, and moon that consumes spirit inside longing for love. Great EYE above molding heart to receive it, for I believe happiness will come my way
For this I pray, shedding light on soul untainted
Will you think about me?
