Show me the way

Suffocating yet enduring
suffering yet rejecting a hand that cares
only to seek and pursue peace
only to avoid the repetition of the dark past

like a sinister smile

waiting the appropriate time to strike

Show me the way and I will walk in it

to free myself from this hold

this chain that entangles me

This shame that marks me

like the name I bear

a mark of a tribe

yet alien to it  

By Emperor Leander David
