Without exaggerating...this is your best poem ever. You always write with emotions and I can never doubt your creativity because of this, Yaki, your feeling are always shed in that tender way that I alwys fall for. Every image, every question, every wondering you have written just could get into my very soul, and I found it too good to be true, but true, however. I can't tell how much impression this had on me, just different from your other writes and I found it so enjoyable, sad and thoughtful. First off, I have to tell you that your opening is what made me read the poem till the end, since the title wasn't, in my opinion, that creative, you know, I thought it was a cheesy love poem or something, lol, but believe me when I read the beginning stanza, I was amazed. I mean comparing your soul to a midnight has so many meanings, dark, sad melancholic meanings that I found deep and interesting. Then you speak of daylight, racism and all those stuff that will break any readers heart...you just blew me away.I LOVE that original way of you saying that the daylight or sun light hurts you like a strong bite, it's just so original. Oh, yep, originality is what Yaki is all about! I also loved the angel picture you painted, no, angels aren't always presented with blue eyes and blonde tresses. Being an angel has nothing to do with your skin color or hair color, I believe. But you just painted the ugliness of injustice in this world so beautifully and heartbreakingly. I loved that. I believe this is the first poem you write such social issues, right? You nailed it.

you try to convince
me I must stay fair,
but don't mind me cheating
when it benefits you.

SO true! I just loved that stanza. Yaki, I will nominate this the next week. I don't know if I promised lots of people this week, lol, but no matter what, this will be on the top of my nomination list, and I am sure it will get votes like no other.

Very, very welldone!

HMMMMM. Now that makes sense but I never listened to the song, anyway! I don't really feel it is connected with the content of the poem. Sorry. :(
