Conversations

Conversations
Tell me what's on your mind
Yea yea

Just a baby only one years old
It all started my life had unfold
Desperation for separation like fool's gold
Creating a habitation was only her memo
Masked by the mystery of her sunken enemies
She always did the best for me
Never pressing me she left me with the family
She knew an angel protecting me heavenly
A warrior of my life continuously blessing me

Days out on South Walter
I didn't falter when gunshots blew over PJ Hill
Or the bar on the corner where I lost some bills
Or when I saw them people passing pills
As I sat on the edge of my aunt's window sill

Nowadays they all try to contact
Like they can tell
My life story like some stated fact
But I hate all that chit chat
I'm just here running bases ready to bat
This the life I live
Matter of fact

Conversations like letters unopened
Back-and-forth motion ayy
What's on your mind

Sitting in the classroom
With my notes pens and pencils
Drew out the outlines
Even when I ain't had no stencils
Teachers treating me like
I'm naive like Gretel and Hansel
But I been self-supporting
Bitch I'm the mantel
Im a Black girl in a white world
With black curls who somehow beat the statistic
They never could imagine
Someone black young and gifted
Whispers on low
How she got them three certificates
Triplicate ain't significant
But the insignificance is magnificent for a Black femme
Chewing gum
That's what they called me back then
Can't remember when I last heard about them
Like where you at fake friend

Winter came heater broke
Little change we was poor
Dad did nothing
Problems he loved to ignore
Complaining again why we asking him for
He searching for me now
Wow I deplore
See I ain't even sleep in a minute
Nightmares like Raven with her visions
But I envision a world
Where I made a difference
Where fat girls can be treated with love
Not belligerence
Cuz some of y'all hating but be into it

Conversations like letters unopened
Back-and-forth motion ayy
What's on your mind

Conversations
Conversations
Conversations
What's on your mind

Tell me what it is on your mind
Shauna Moon
