I am my brothers keeper...
At least that's what I thought.
...But when I Checked
brothers my brothers checked out.
High and dry on erykah badu
why do me the way I should've done you
See I being raised on of love felt that maybe if I be the love I aspire to find
that maybe I'd be crazy enough to align--
myself with a presence of a love so pure; truly divine.
However
Here I am... I keep on keeping on.
I look up and the same hands I grabbed
and pulled up from the dark abyss turned into backs
Might as well been sitting there stupid....yeah im pissed.
Everyone standing around like what I miss.
Time...
Time will always keep on keeping on
Self love will always win.
Bros, Yeah I cant keep what doesn't want to be kept.
Done showing love that I don't get back or front...
I need to feel it.
I'll keep up without myself...No Kardashian
These days the only thing I'm im keeping up with is the time.
No more slacking.
About the Creator
Errol McNeill
I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
-L.Richie

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
