Sleeping Senses

📚 — exodus

1 min read

I dream with you always.

You’re the only one I can see.

My senses aren’t mine

With you I get to be free

Always, ‘till the end of time...

2 And Only 2.

📚 — exodus

1 min read

I look at down my skin,

The colors and tones my mother gave me.

But I see the red under my skin

And the hate it causes.


When I say it, they laugh,

Even though it’s who I am.

My identify—

My code and binary


But it will forever be binary

Just one or the other.

I’m white or black.

Not mixed, like my mother....

The Corner

📚 — exodus

1 min read

11/15/24


Today I found a little coffee shop on the corner. When I walked in, I couldn’t help but delight in the delicious smell of the pumpkin bread and the heater sending out warm air. Music was gently playing.


A sign above the checkout was decorated for Christmas. Mosaics of red and green sprawled it. The word ‘Christmas’ went across it, written in calligraphy.


There was a seat tucked away in...

Nothing

📚 — exodus

1 min read

I am

Nothing.


I feel

Nothing.


I do

Nothing.


My emotions fade quickly

At the same speed they came

I’m boring and monotonous

I don’t have wealth or fame.


I handle

Nothing....

Take That

📚 — exodus

1 min read

Notice how when I’m trying,

No one cares.

But yet when you do it,

You’re the center of attention.


Take That.


The twists and turns you make my stomach feel,

Make me want to die

But yet when it’s you complaining,

Everyone comforts you.


Take that.


The way I look at you, I try to show you,

The damage you do me

But yet when I look at you,

You’re concerned


Take that.


1 and 2 and 3 leave for ...

Pouring Ice

📚 — exodus

1 min read

The way that the ice feels

When you pour it over my head

Makes me feel like I’m new

And refreshed.


I hate the way the fridge makes sounds

That disrupt my sleep.

And I hate the way the ice hits my tooth

And sends shivers down my spine.


The way the ice feels

After minutes in my hand.

The way it makes me go numb

And I feel nothing

And void and gone yet fine.


I hate it when the ice is out.

I love...

Hate

📚 — exodus

1 min read

I chase after people

Who don't really care about me.

And I chase after people.

Who could care less about me.


So why am I choosing the people that I

DEBATE?

And why am I just a fish's

BAIT?


The people I chase,

They're translucent.

Seeable, but not really.

Kind, but not dearly.


But they change me,

And morph me,

Until I'm just like them.

High Above the City

📚 — exodus

1 min read

I sit atop my throne

But yet I can’t help but cry.

For all my loves and all my items

Have died.


With my things have come suffering

And my idols have brought nothing.

The side of me I wished would set sail

Has prevailed....

God’s Most Faithful

📚 — exodus

1 min read

The shadow of the moon…

It casts.

And the effect it has on me

It lasts.


And I stare into it,

I could stare all day.

And what I see,

Can’t help but stay away


She walks towards me,

Full of grace.

And when I see her,

I know she’s not face.


Hail Mary

I saw her.

Face to face....
