not my kind

delicate fingers attached to harsh hands 

beating different colors into pigments some would consider bland 

extravagant 

exotic 

purple, blue , and red 

hoping they wont be caught 

for their actions are pathetic 

as soon as the mark is made 

he regrets it ---

anger surges through veins; untamed

clouding his judgement 

applying a thick haze over bright blue eyes 

jaded views of out society 

no longer do we know sobriety 

intoxicated off of another woman's lips 

my parents - never approving of this 

my insecurities embraced by her own

tranquility and anxiety swirling between the veins lining my body

for those who gave me the first breath of air 

they are a people of the lord 

saying repeatedly 

my life would be better spent alone
