everyday there is somebody near you, floating. only living in their thoughts, wishing something or somethings would change. and a mere wish within them is just that somebody would stay and dedicate their time to talk them.
wishing things could go more like
"hey how are you doing today? are you sure your fine? you don't look too good. tell me, are things still not peaceful in yo hood?
is there anything i could do to help make things better for you? are you being mistreated at school cause ya hair and skin are a "distraction" to others around you? don't pay them no mind these folks just want a reaction.
are your parents struggling to get the bills paid? are you struggling to find love from the ones you love? has nobody told you "you've got this. good luck"? are you having trouble with friendships cause the other kids do things you're not immune to?
is your self esteem low? are you still haunted by the lies you've been told? has God not answered your prayers yet?
are you in that point in life where everything is a test? do you feel like you have not reached your best? are you keeping someone else's secrets while struggling to find yourself and trying not to melt in America's Kitchen?
do you feel like this place is not for you? are you crying yourself to sleep at night cause there is nobody here for you?
well sweet child, i am here for you. i understand exactly what you're going through and i'm wishing things would get better for you cause not that long ago i used to be you too. and i wished somebody would do this for me; just out the blue and into the yellow, i learned how to be mellow. i told myself that this is just one day out of many and you know what else, i just kept on wishing."
