I KNOW BOYS

Like squeezing to fit into their skinny jeans

I know boys who are low self esteemed,less dignity and alcoholically obsessed

I know boys that ponder if they're handsome and six packed enough to suit in

I know boys who are fleeing arrows from the bows of their skin

Playing sports with grim;it's never easy to accept that our bodies are defective and faultful

But when do we draw the line?

When the ink hits our skin

Isn't it the same thing as dying

Because we're so obsessed with fashion and style

Some men just have more guts than others

Belts below the waist,still wanting to be macho at the morgue

Still proceeding to ink in tattoos

Still praying that the mortician finds us sultry and appealing

We might as well be buried with our phones,gold chains and expensive foot wears,boys

We tease death every time we exhale smoke from our lungs

I know how to reveal my chest to crack open a warfront too

But the time has emerged for us to retrieve our bodies

Offering this sodomy as a deplorable way to say

"I only know how to exist when she wants me"

We're used up and broken and intoxicated and constantly waiting by the phone for someone to pick up and tell us that we did good

Well,you did good

(I know i am because i said,"i am"

my body is home)

Try this

Take your hands over your jumpy love skin empty

And reminisce the first time you had a pure sense of existence

With the sole aim of living right

Touched by the arms of decency because the light of mercy was pretty much on you

And the song of the stars became your heart's Number1 on it's playlist

Mirror yourself with a purpose

Your body is the most precious piece

Trends and girls are not claiming your worth anymore

They're not why you exist,no

Put the essence back

Retrieve your map for you have lost footing

I once touched a tree with burnt feet

The stump still had breathe

But the tops were just ashy debris

I wonder what it's like to come back from that because

Because often times i feel wood burn escape from my chest

And the ash semaphores sent out are the most gorgeous things I've laid eyes upon

And fragile limbs saved in the shelves of time

See this is important

You are worth more than who you are

Worth more than a rubber

Worth more than beer bottles showcased like broken sculptures

You are worth more than any naked body could yearn for in the dark

More than a woman's whim or your father's mistake

You are no less valuable as a size XL than a size L

No less valuable as a T-shirt than a polo

Your Sexiness is defined by positive purpose within your spine

It is wisdom

You are a living tree stump with leaves spreading out

REBORN!!!
