So, I heard you never really got it
Cus you never really stood.

I heard fear gripped the side of your
brain
Your bones shook and your
muscles
drained, that you weren't getting out of this.

I heard Cali is quite savvy
and birthdays are forgotten

I've been stuck between this
town of brownie batter
and
these cities filled with
sunshine.

I've been trapsing around
in withering boots and
pigtales on my head

my minds been dancing in circles
and my shadows follow suit
I thought hopscotch was for children,
and the ocean for adults.
I thought salt was for skinheads,
and pepper for the scared.

I stopped writing cus i couldn't
I stopped learning cus i stupid
i stopped running cus i'm stronger
i stopped wanting cus i wouldn't
i started thinkingcus-its-reversal.
