Through These Brown Eyes

by Tanisha Bradford


Through These Brown Eyes …
iSee Myy Reflection :
Light Skin , Long Dark Hair , Myy-Sizee Curves ,
Big Nosee , Little Lips , -&- … Scars I’ve Endured .
Bags Pack’d Abovee My Cheeks For This Trip Call’d Lifee .
-Through Thesee Brown Eyes …
Lie Real Eyes , Recognizin’ YOUR Continuous Lies .

This Stereotypical Imagee You See When You Look @ Me Is NOT What I’m About !
So How Comee Eveybody Elsee Can See That Soon As iOpen Myy Mouth ?
But To Tha Person It Matters Most To Through Thesee Brown Eyes ; Besides Myself -&- God :
Just Tha Thought To Consider Me Human Is Against Tha Law -


In ... YOUR Books , -&- Tha Pages Cut , Slice , -&- Dice Me Deep .
Then You Question My Audacity When iScream “ Fuck Tha Police ! ”
Aha , You Neva Undastood -&- iGuess You Neva Will …
But iCan’t Hidee Tha Fact That Your Actions Makee Me Feel ..
Lost -&- Confused .
Abandoned -&- Abused .
Mistreated -&- Defeated .
Neva Really Needed …
Lonely -&- Weak ,
As Myy Chest Begins To Leak ; The Bleed Of Myy Soul Turnin’ Bleak On Ah’ Dead-End Street .
But … Runnin’ On Gas From Tha Past ,
I’ve Learned Doesn’t Last – In This Story Line :
Myy Book : Through These Brown Eyes .
-&: Oncee Upon Ah’ Timee – iRanted -&- Raved , Cursing Your Namee ;
Theyy Tried Tah’ Call Me Insane , Sayy iWas Missing Ah’ Piecee Of Myy Brain –
But , Ah’ Heart Ain’t Ah’ Brain ; Which Was Tha Sourcee Of Tha Pain – iWas Speaking From , iGuess …
Neva Really Thinkin’ Of Rememberin’ Everything Happens For Ah’ Reason So I’m Blessed .


YESS – Oncee Upon Ah’ Timee , Through Thesee Brown Eyes ;
iSaw You Rottin’ In Ah’ Cell – Damnin’ You Tah’ Hell .
Spit -&- Piss’d On Your Namee -&- Neva Felt Ashamed ..
Up Until Now , Kus Guidance From Tha Clouds –
Put Contacts On Myy Vision , Now Through Thesee Brown Eyes I’m Vivid .
-&- Thankful To Be Livin’ .
Responsive To Tha Need Of 2nd Chances To Be Given .

Myy Intellect Is Intergratin’ -&- Even Though Most Myy Lifee – Because Of YOU ,
Thesee Brown Eyes Felt Degrading ..
Likee Hell iWon’t Makee It Tah’ See Myy Better Days ; Through Thesee Brown Eyes …
-&- , Every Inch Of Tha Wayy , I’ll Neva Forget Tha Days , I’m –
Workin' On Forgivin' You For , Kus They – Oncee Tested Myy Faith ..
But ... I'm Strugglin' Tah' Let Go - Kus Tha Shit Is Still Happenin' ,
You Can Havee All Tha Money In Tha World But iPROMiSEE It Won't Buy Myy Happiness .
Or , Cover For Tha Times You Xtremelyy Crossed Tha Linee , Then ; Act Likee Everything Was Finee .
Guess You Was , Sippin’ On Somee Winee Or .. Doin’ Them Nasal-Lines .

But …  Ya’Kno ; It’s Alright – Because I’ve Humbled Myself .
I’m Learning To Lovee Me For Me -&- Accept Tha Cards iWas Dealt .
Staying Truee To Myy Goals , w/ Furyy In Myy Ambition ,
So Regardless Of What You Say , Do , Or Feel ..
Through Thesee Brown Eyes :
@ Tha Endd Of Tha Day ;
I’ma Flyy w/ Tha Birds – No Sleepin’ w/ Tha Fishes .
