Aunty Annie
Embraced,
But never crushed by the arms of the capture.
She smiled in my face and I dared to smile back,
For warmth was something she could never lack.
Turn off the lights, she said,
Without question my darkest thoughts were fed.
Hi, with a smile,
Hello with a grin,
Have you ever thought maybe he dislikes the color of your skin?
Okay that's enough, no need to think this way,
But seriously, do you think he could love you on any given day?
What does he think of the words that you so carelessly say?
Stand still, shoulders back,
Smile! Not too much, just a crack.
Oh my God, they're walking in my direction,
Forget all the things you could possibly mention.
