This is Genuine
To all my little sisters, soldiering on.
Don't be afraid,
this is genuine.
Come after school
to make noise and make boys
mentioned.
Pieces of your honorable mentions.
Used, abused, and losers
of the game.
Poison in your brains.
Get out of town.
I'll still be here when you come back around.
Eagerly waiting
anticipating
nuances you've found.
The grays in the shading,
do you find them fine,
or degrading?
Berating every lie
you now realize
you've known.
School days
seem lazy, don't they?
Hazy in your long-term memory,
golden rays still set ablaze
the corns and wheats and hays
of those stubborn, southern ways
on which you were raised
and only recently
have seen yourself a way
out of them.
Don't you squander the hours.
Don't trade the rain for a shower
of oblivious.
For come fall,
the squashes are made of water
and minerals
and millenials
of the same soils.
So long as you're adventuring
I thought it worth mentioning
to take your time
and realize
that home is here
and have no fear.
This is my advice:
revisit once or twice.
Perspective on your life
is priceless.
And I'll still be here,
eagerly waiting.
Anticipating
nuances you've found.
The grays in the shading,
are they fine,
or degrading?
And are they berating
every lie
you now realize
you've known?
Don't be afraid, darling.
I am genuine.
If nothing else at all,
this is genuine.
