We Can Burn Brightly

If our charms aren’t working

And we become peculiar

To the masses

Looking us up and down

We can feel sacred

And scared in the very same space

 

Sometimes

It takes a heavy dose

To grow out of an old eye

And you could cry for it

Down shaking on the ground

But in everything, we can die

 

We die

And our roundabouts

Force anytime into every time

No more squinting

Because last second rope

Slips through fingers

Of those that haven’t seen it

Or never took to looking

 

You know

The “why didn’t I see it”

And how it burns brightly?

Sometimes your hand blocks

The brightest reminders.
