Kool-Aid all "Growed" Up

Kool-Aid all "Growed" Up
Posted By: Vanessa Fuller on June 26, 2007






Awwtobyograffikahlee M33

Pictures of rejection
from open arms and affection
A returning subject, now apprehensive
With taunting thoughts because
she knows life really mean it

With sense enough to know it
the balls not to show it
She wasn't born with courage
she had to grow it

With a wandering soul, and knowing eyes
she was able to decipher the lies
And the many nights she cried
she nurtured and harnessed her pride
even though she hurt deep inside

She somehow found happiness in simplicity
Her context reeked of a now explicit being
Though like a rose from concrete...
she grew intricately

And now when she prays she never
ask why me?
Now when she prays she says this is me.
Whatever it means, God please show me
The saddest account of life is living and not knowing who you are
Wishes of living on a distant star
