Am I You Or Someone Else

I'm lost and cannot find my way. I get worse at the passing of each day. People look at me dead in my eyes and do not care. I look back at them and think while we stare. Don't they realize I'm the result of their error and their joy. These people believe what is done is done and leave me as a young boy. They do not help me release the full potential within me. They look at me and what will happen and think that's the way it's suppose to be. The people leave me as a deprived and lonely thing, And in all this world of hurt and pain, I still find one who will sing. I will look familiar, yet different with nothing fancy, not even lace. I say I'm the child you never had, and you yell that it can not be. I'm filled with hurt and pain and things that I can not admit, But the time to change me is here and will come only if you commit. You can fix me because I'm not fully grown. You can help me, or still leave me on my own. I'm your nightmare and dream all wrapped up into one. You can erase one of these things because there is hope and victory not yet won. Will you, stanger-friend, help me in my time of need, Or will you let one sit and feel your pain on which I feed? I'm reaching my hand out for someone or something to grab. The only thing I find is the same hand that continues to stab. Please help me because I tell you no lie, I'm your child, and I'm about to die. If you don't believe me, just look around. The voice I speak with should be a familiar sound. I'm your friend and enemy as well as your child. I come to you at times, crazy and wild. Others times, I come weeping and sad but I still smile. Feel me. Feel me, again, but be careful I'm very agile. Do you realize who I am or what I'm saying? Why are you still here? Why are you still delaying? Are you still pondering in your mind "Who are you?" Don't you recognize, I'm what you created from the things you do. If you can not recall my face, open your eyes a little more. I'm not your neighbor. I'm not your friend. I'm not that guy from the store. I'm you. I'm what you're becoming. I'm something you are not. I'm the thing you left cooking in that back pot. You let things pass by and put them to the side. You let your hurt and pain stay while you went for a ride. I'm your mistakes, your joys, and your fears. I'm the thing you hoped was gone when everything clears. Do you understand me? Do you comprehend? I'm what you made yourself. I'm what you didn't try to ammend. Do not feel at blame, But do feel ashame. I'm not just you. I'm everyone. I'm everyone. I'm every boy and girl. I'm even that cute little child with that little curl. I'm your future. I'm the one you are neglecting. You act as if I'm the one that doesn't need respecting. Please, dear one, heed my words. Make certain that you note what you have heard. I'm the results of your actions. I'm the one who needs caring. Don't try to stay by yourself, venture out it's worth daring. You hold me in your hand. You help mold me. I know you can change me. If you do not, you, I will soon see. Ant

Voices

Today, my innocence was taken from me in the middle of the night. He touched me and tore my flesh as I fought with all my might. I scream and no one heard me. No one came. I sit there trying to figure how to hide my shame. It was my fault because of how I am with my strut and how I talk. As I stand up, the pain is so much to bare, I can hardly walk. I sit and I cry as I figure out how not to be sad, But when morning comes, I still have to call him, Dad. One voice whispers. No one wants me, and no one cares about me. When I'm gone you….you all will see. My life doesn't matter to anyone, And when I'm gone, you'll still have your fun. As the blade touches my skin and I feel the blood run, I don't feel pain but see freedom. Now I've won. No more tears. No more pain. Please, God, make it rain. Two voices creek. Mommy doesn't like me anymore that's why she went away. She left us all alone before I could see the sun's rays. How will I survive and who will want me now? This man will and so will he but I don't see how. I am not even worth the flesh I was born with, That's why I just lay here stiff. They say trouble last for only a short time, That's why I help it with one coke line. Three voices murmur. She calls my stupid and I'll never amount to anything. I can't even figure out why the cage bird sings. It isn't my fault that she had me so young. So she figures, I'll have a kid while I'm young. According to her in a few years, I'll be dead. Better yet, carrying on the family business with my legs spread. I have dreams and hopes but they are killed by home. Now, I can only wish I can go away and be alone. Four voices cry I got to be a man and stand on my own two. Get respect from everyone cuz respects due. You hand over your car and the cash And you little mami, let me tap that ass. I didn't want this life. This life picked me. Now I gots to show everyone, I'm a G. My dad showed this and look I'm just fine. Well, I was till I was shot with that nine. Five voices stir He beat me every day, but I got to hide the bruises. While at school, I endure the other children's abuses. I sit in my room just waiting for him. He will drink then beat me at the next whim. Mommy gets it too and no one can protect us. I dream about someone will make his blood gush. That won't ever happen though because he's tough. The police came and did nothing, and you think you got it rough. Six voices rise. How many of these people do you actually know? Mother, sister, brother maybe even the neighborhood hoe? Do you see them? Do you talk to them? Do you listen? Do you touch them? You see them everyday as they blend and walk with you. When will you see them and help them to what's true. For all they know right is wrong. Show them, or hear the same song. But one question, how many voices sound off before it's a scream? Anthony Keith McCann
