Sure.
I have those friends.
The friends that I share common interests with --
the friends that I laugh, and joke with;
Then I have her.
She and I,
we fight,
to speak the very least,
often.
Although,
our bond is unbreakable.
We feel the same,
yet we could not be more different.
We both strive for color, opinions, a voice, a reason --
Yet, we strive for it differently.
She and I,
we both love -in our own ways- until the very tendrils of our hearts dry,
YET, we are both selfish beyond our own comprehension.
We enjoy to live,
yet we hate ourselves in such forms that we are living in paradox.
She and I,
we endure the same --
YET, we endure the same differently.
It is inexplicable,
our bond.
I do not love her romantically, sexually, nor do I love her in familial, or Platonic ways --
Our blood runs that deeply.
I just love her.

everything and
nothing
all at once

that is what i am

maya and langston,
acevedo and woodson
all in one head

the mississippi heat
and minnesota snow
flow through my blue
hot hands

stars in the sky and
too cloudy nights

akeelma in chains
and maleeka in the 7th
grade

i am just enough
to be nothing at all

i am a proud statement
a shy whisper
contadictory
yet true

i am everything in this world
and nothing in the next

that
is what i am

— The End —
