Today I Woke up Dead
T o d a y . .
is just
another day
like any other day
or so I thought
f r a u g h t . !
w i t h . .
tribulations
beyond imaginings
I s a w t h e m
standing there
eyes fixed . . !
on none else
but I
another day
like any other day
or so I thought
f r a u g h t . !
w i t h . .
tribulations
beyond imaginings
I s a w t h e m
standing there
eyes fixed . . !
on none else
but I
looking for prey
and I was it
this day's Quota . !
and I was it
this day's Quota . !
another notch
There will be no
consequence fot them
I am not human
I am not human
I don't breathe
I don't bleed
b a r e h a n d s
mark my surrender
but It's not enough
I don't bleed
b a r e h a n d s
mark my surrender
but It's not enough
today I die
they lie as to
the nature of why
and how
and because
every lie
was believed
and was told about me
every lie
was believed
and was told about me
What was my crime . ?
my confession
my guilt
my sin
t h e i r o b s e s s i o n . ?
what . .
is their guilt
that haunts them . ?
that . .
I'm lesser
than shame
a s t a i n :
on their psyche
and soul . ?
am I . .
a reminder
of their humanity
or inhumanity
b a n g . . !
b a n g . . !
I h i t t h e g r o u n d
I don't resist . .
everything I was
or could have been
now oozes
onto the concrete
where I lay
I ' m e a s y p r e y
I'm lesser than
no more than 3 / 5
of what I'm supposed
to be
I am
what they say I am
they say
I don't matter
and
That justifies
my every circumstance
the skin I'm in
the fact that I breathe in
t o d a y
because
I'm no one
I W o k e u p D e a d . . !
