Awake

[Ebony Zebedee]

Started off so long ago
Layin in my bed
I was 12 years old just wishin there was somethin wrong with me
Instead
I heard a voice
He said to me
I feel like Im talkin to someone over seas
I just listened
Never answered
Now my mind is ill at ease
I used to hear a voice
It sounded thick and green and heavy
Didnt really have a sound
Not like when they call me ebby
But all the same it spoke to me and Id try to focus on its feel
Some people call it whispering
Maybe they've trained me
What is real
I know Im human
But theres such lack of compassion for true humanity
All manner of inventions
But theres many who truly need
Just the basic necessities of life
Why do they go without
Which tells me I'm not safe
Infact of that I have no doubt
