Remember when?


remember when A,B,C's was as easy as 1,2,3
when together meant you and me?
When elementy school was our playground?
Remember when we would make adventures till we found them?
When tricking mom was a game instead of a hobby?
When we both found out we were black?
When crying meant you you were laughing so hard, and not that you forgot to laugh?
Remember when having each others back really meant " im there for you?"
When life made sense?
When we were little?
Remember when you lied that you were ok?
when we found out you had a problem?
when we couldn't find a cure?
when i blamed myself?
i remember the pills,
the lies,
the screams,
the cries,
the look on your face,
when you said "i don't belong in this place"
and that random little place, you would always trace
Remember how that made mom cry?
how they couldn't let you go, but had to?
how i thought life would be better with out you, but i lied too.
do you remember? Because i feel my self, forgetting....

shake the dust

This is for the pillow screamers,
the cutters,
the dreamers.
This is for the private criers,
the unbelievers,
the leavers.
This is for the fighters,
the moms who never give up on there children
cuz they saw so much more.
The dads who try so hard,
but when Christmas come around,
they don't even get a card....
shake the dust
This is for the friendless,
the ones with disappearing potential,
the broken hearted.
This is for the song singers.
giving there heart and soul,
to another.
shake the dust
This is for the runners,
the shunners,
this is for you, so shake the dust.
This is for the punked & the ones who punk them,
This is for the strong,
the God believers,
the holy keepers.
This is for those step kids,
who lost there best friend.
The step parents who don't even have a prayer.
shake the dust
This is for my sister,
the sister who lost it all.
who looked at me for protection but i ran.
The sister who sits alone in a room full of no one.
shake the dust
and when it gets dirty. shake that dang thing again!
