The Longing



The Castle, a place where relatives of the king were put for safety.


The tart and tea
were for you
I guess I am out of
sinc
maybe too easy
I have been alone for four years as I needed
to grow into my own...

I know who I am
I don't ask others to
try to be anything but
themselves
even on a rainy day,
it drizzles with spots of puddles
all around

I am wet up to my ankles

I have waited a long time
like a bishop in a chess game
a player who strikes in a blind-sided fashion
No, I am not waiting for others to make a mistake
as I know what is happening
is a convergence of a higher power and a
social construction called Justice

What I know is
that I have is
 I breathe air
I see the moon which puts me to sleep,
and I awake to the sun.


We still rise, we will not apologize for anything!
