My laughter loud but meaningless
My stomach full but empty with shame
My mind asking questions around all of this
My heart strong but my soul in pain
My back straighten up but my presence twisted
My hair combed but my thoughts distorted
My dreams big but my past black-listed
My brain bright but my insides aborted
My skin glowing but my breath escaped
My hair wild with anticipation and release
My faithful heart screaming at my own fate
My blood in a race but my mind at ease
My light a bit brighter but my candle blowing
My potential enormously thrown in my face
My arms wrapped but my foresight still showing
My existence uncovered over brick-covered lace
