    Royal Brand Nubian

    Royal brand Nubian
    From the center of the room I watched
    From the corner of yes,mesmerized
    Hypnotized, as I scrutinized the fine lines
    Of his verse.
    Quite manic this panic that I takes myself through
    What’s worse while dropping my word he was watching me
    too With questions between us like is there nothing sacred
    Anymore? Like sunsets and dating we do what we do.
    And little girls are taught to hide their curves as if they
    Are a curse when little boys are taught to run.
    And this question lies between us like the burning sun.
    Hey there brother, I see you! Hello my sister, Does he go
    With you? if not could I come too. I’ve got nowhere 2
    Go and nothing to see. And If I don’t do this shit I just
    Do me. Cuz being alone is like brand new shoes, they hurt
    For a little while but life stretches to fit you.

    From the center of this stage, From the corner of yes
    Placed a hickey on yall’s minds its only a test.
    Of the questions between us like why do I hurt so
    Like I’ve got the blues
    A royal brand Nubian in brand new shoes.
    A royal brand Nubian in brand new shoes
    A royal brand Nubian in brand new shoes

    I'm feeling your voice so much in this piece, your alliteration is beautiful too. Plus, I'm feeling your rhythm throughout.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
