NEVER TALK

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Black homes never talk So I grew accustomed to what the lack of a voice felt like I familiarized myself with suffering in silence I became a prisoner to brave faces And a puppet to suicidal ideations Because depression stepped in for my father As I watched my mother lash out for the way unhealed traumas scarred her It's hard to undo how the wounds of parents Bleed out onto their children Just for it become to the baggage they grow up And carry with them Watching family ties become undone Forced into accepting that we could never replace what's missing I watched people respond to my cries for help with distance And built barriers where I needed bridges So silence became my response to every inconvenience While the volume went up on my demons I take words lightly because I was raised on broken promises So I grew numb to false words that encased insecurities into my skin Making me a foreigner in my own body On autopilot for months at a time Detached from my conscious mind Til poetry became my lifeline I shut the world out Til it became the only way for people to know me Now I'm codependent to poetry Cemented to my demons Because what's a poet without heartbreak And what's a poem without glamorizing trauma When behind a mic is the only time I feel safe enough to remove this armor My deepest heartaches fill these pages And some make it here with me onto these stages For the stories of what left me broken to be taken as entertainment They want front row tickets to hear The stories that keep me up at night Just so that they could leave feeling like They got acquainted with every demon I fight But I'm numb to it Got my brain rewired into thinking that this shit is okay To keep everything bottled up til I step on a stage Drake said "I made a career out of reminiscing" So Ima need y'all to clap for my pain Because if I gotta live with these scars then I might as get paid Because I put thousands into therapy and got no change Just a resale of my anxiety So my self-destructive ways could always rely on me Now I keep my emotions neglected Because my vulnerability leads to more misconceptions And the sound of these demons never turn off So I'm starting to understand why Black Homes Never Talk
