Broken Bridges

Gregory Kwakye

Knocking on the door is my brutality.

Wake up, this is a stack up, to my fatality.

Time’s up, here comes my reality.

I'm buried alive, 10 feet under, hanging from a rope around my neck.

Can you hear me, choking.

I'm punching

I'm shouting

I'm shaking

Please help me, I’m in need.

How could one half of Adam be at war with Eve?

Can't you see we were a symphony?

Can't you see, I made you alive?

And to think, this is the other half of me.

Binding the wounds to stop my bleeding.

I found myself a slave
Before I knew it, I was stripping my humanity

I am walking and talking, choking and bleeding.

Can you hear me?

Here I am, crying.

I am here.

And knowing that, you see dying.

Losing myself to my own humanity

Nothing but my own  ___ profanity.
