"double consciousness"
  by Don Lui


Im trapped in a constant struggle
Of being me and pleasing me
Now I know this might be confusing so let me help you see :

I’ve been raised to amaze all who travel this world and constantly gaze
To be a strong man to need no hand to accomplish any plan
But

My flesh complains and pains for something
A yearning to be something beside me
To flee and be free ….

From relationships
From friendships
From emotions
But

I am what I choose to flee from
Without these things my life would be numb
It’s the warmth in your partners touch
The joy from just kick’in wit the boyz
It’s the liberation of pain from your brain as you emancipate the thoughts that drive you insane

That gives me meaning as a human being
But is it all a fallacy and that these things are not the real me?

Only time will tell …. But until next time I bid you farewell !
