Those crooked streets stole my innocence but
Sugar coated my loss with compliments from
Those who robbed me of my ambitions.
They acted like they listened
With their eyes glistenin'...
False hopes and
Eager hands...
Only to stay until I gave in to Temptation.
I SOLD OUT
and
Handed out
Pieces of me
As if I were candy
Falling out of the sky,
So
When my world formed puddles
Above the rims of my bottom lids and
Overflowed onto my
Mountains of cheeks,
You'd seek out
The Positive and
Slowly wipe away my Hurt with
Tissues of Wisdom that
Reincarnated my soul and
The role you played in my world
Told this little girl that
Life is...
My best teacher.
