Fear of a Black Psychic
When you know too much,
You grow too much…
You’re sure too much.
You’re poor too much.
You feel too much.
You’re real too much.
Start thinking that you–
Can heal too much.
You hear too much.
They feared as much.
Line/Break
I break lines
With thunder-crack
Keystrokes
To outshout
The voice
Of your lover.
