Mistake me for blood

Maybe I sleep next to you with heaps of forgiveness

Maybe I sip a wine with you with heaps of forgiveness

Maybe everytime my sisters fall into a stupor, I shed sorry tears

Maybe to cure your trauma, I bow down for you to heal

But, everytime I do that

I DO NOT FORGET

You don't deserve it

Everytime you silence my lips

Everytime you make me return to the wounded child

Everytime you try to control me

For in your world

only blacks govern

For in your world

only whites govern

I pray my heart would have been a bullet.

Subtle!
