you know how you write something you think is just the hottest thing on the planet, and then you go back and read it, and you dont like it anymore?? yeeeaaahhh... lol lemme know what you think.. i need as much feedback as possible..gotta turn this in for afro american lit.
The heaven I see when I close my eyes
Is the heaven that lies right past the sunrise
I awaken; I find my lack of a prize
And wipe my starry eyes.
My heaven is a state of mind.
The door was opened for us all
But we can’t walk through at once.
It doesn’t mean you have to stay behind.
Just take your time.
Find your state of mind.
Lost inside a rhyme,
In search of that next dime,
You won’t open your eyes
Or look for that sunrise
But you’re quick to complain about the dark.
I’ve been knocked down from day to day
I feign a smile, go on my merry way.
Pay no regard to the things people say
Because who I am today
Is led by the light of that day.
The day some young soldiers won’t get to see
Is the day that’s waiting for you and me.
We just have to walk through that door
And know what we’re looking for.
We can’t keep waiting around anymore.
