No Longer

-Charles Longstreet

I will wait for you no longer I will walk into the dark I will watch no more forever For the love that gave a spark

I will walk into the distance with my feet upon the dirt I will climb up on the mountain And pretend it doesn't hurt

I will stand at all directions I will call the wind to blow I will disappear the clouds away And nobody will know

I will curse the beast that took you I will damn that evil day I will walk into the silence As you slowly drift away

My heart will ache forever My tears will often fall For the sound I will remember Is the sound that wounds us all.

no longer

Our whole lives color coded: clothes and toys. Pinks, blues: our personality defined. We were not given our own ways to find, accepting, brainwashed, that boys will be boys, all full of violence, assaulting noise, and girls will be their perfect pets divine, discreetly bred to be domestic, kind, conditioned to submit, to watch with poise.  

Awaking from our blindness, bit by bit we are uninstalling unjust lessons. Exploring, we inspect and question it, no longer puzzle pieces forcing fit. We wonder if we are just daughters, sons because no longer do we idly sit.
