Black Poetry : Just Listen to my heartbeat

[AACOOLDRE]

JUST LISTEN TO MY HEART BEAT
By Andre Austin

I’m so sick of the madness
Sometimes I wish to die
I’m wrapped up in a cage of darkness
Wondering on the reasons why
(Just listen to my heartbeat)
My lover thinks I created these silly lies

Rumors so ill
I’m about to loose my will
Take me away to the highest hill
Before I have to kill

Gotta keep fighting strong
Until the truth will change the wrong
This ain’t no sad song
And I wont keep u long

Just listen to my heart beat
Oh yeah
Just listen to my heart beat

I’m reaching out for something true
Reaching out for a love that’s new

Just listen to my heart beat
Oh yeah
True love, true love is so, so, sweet

Just listen to my heart beat

Sounds like a "fire shut up in your bones," AA.


I feel frustration and aggravation and wanting to scream but holding it in and wanting to hit something but trying not to explode......Or maybe that's just me. :?:


Either way, I enjoyed this!
