Take me as I am
with the dust filled history
of youths violent swarm.

I stood in the streetlight glow
and breathed life hard.
I threw my arms to the sky and I screamed “NOW!!”

But this is just a memory

A sharp towering building crashed down
and swept with it, my honor.

The door slammed shut.

Echoing.

I sink so low on days when the sun comes in
through tiny cracks in the concrete cell.

I am shackled at the ankles.

I am shackled as the world spins around.

I am shackled and I am innocent.

Take me as I am.
For, I am like you.

I dream of freedom.


If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this
