About life, the past and present.
How decisions became nightmares
How love became hatred
All still eludes me, like man’s

Which leads to self-discovery
Still, I’m still searching for my

Dark and shiny skin like diamonds,
But her heart was dim and stone
cold.

I remember home
The tranquility and its ease
It’s time to go home, where I’ll
be embraced without judgments.
