Another year passes
And I'm still stuck
In the middle of this ocean
Cause I'm still scared
That I don't have support
All I ever wanted
Was to be that voice
For people who remain scared
My whole child I was abused
Treated like a disease
But I overcame it
By making people
Laugh & smile
So why do I feel like
A dead rose pedal
Who has no love
Because I let a 9 to 5 job
Kill my mental
All I had to do was keep
My passion for poetry alive
So why am I scared
Cause I don't have the energy
To remain positive
Can't let these reptiles
Kill us off
Cause their power source is fear
My sister lost faith
In living life
This mind is no longer locked
These mass shootings
Put us right back in fear
See love is the answer
For fear to stop haunting us
We watch fake news
Cause we fail to get educated
But when it comes
To speaking truth
It's nothing but a comedy
The movie get out
Wasn't a comedy
It was a real story
On why we are no longer scared
So why am I scared
Cause I don't know
If I have the skills
To be the next great actor
But if don't try
Then I'll just be scared
To stay woke
Through the pain
For happiness and love
