Silhouette.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have refused to take the form of<\/p>\n

All the chalked outline of my father\u2019s broken accent.<\/p>\n

Substitute (h) with (aw)\u2014confuse me, aw do you do this<\/p>\n

With so much ease?<\/p>\n

I contour my weightlessness in pronouncing all the heavy<\/p>\n

Things my colonizers have tagged stressful and I still do not<\/p>\n

Believe in a profile where (Englishman) is the closest<\/p>\n

We\u2019d ever come to glory\/ forgive my insecurities, God\/<\/p>\n

Forgive the form I have decided to duplicate\/ most importantly,<\/p>\n

Forgive my senselessness in reminding you my shape is to remain<\/p>\n

In your likeness.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the intersection of rain and beauty,<\/p>\n

There is a curve between the skies and I want to dance all<\/p>\n

My bones to its likeness.<\/p>\n

I have refused light so I always have someone by my side\/<\/p>\n

So my shadow has someone to hold unto, not me: (I\u2019m a piece of<\/p>\n

Disappearance etched into existence by thoughts of being lonely)<\/p>\n

So I dine with all the people that tag my configuration of lost as purpose \u2014<\/p>\n

I love them hard enough to become tender and more lonely \u2014I must stay woke,<\/p>\n

I must not forget the purpose.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only my existence in the wrong man\u2019s body that delineate\u2019s the\u00a0 purpose of lost:<\/p>\n

To be lost is to be 100% certain that something or someone is searching for you.<\/p>\n

Dear Body\/\/light\/\/brightness of a thousand firefly-petal\/\/ your amorphousness is<\/p>\n

Enough testament that beauty comes in different forms \u2014formlessness is one,<\/p>\n

Your regards towards the shapeless accent you have grown to mole<\/p>\n

On your skin is another & remember, form is introduced,<\/p>\n

When the body has lost its original purpose.<\/p>\n
