I‘m a man

I‘m a man they said

By Shams SaysPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I‘m a man they said

calm and composed

For when I speak these knives come out

cutting the air on its way

For my lips are the whestone

sharpening the blade these words are

whenever I speak my heart

For the pain I carry is the dark obsidian

forming the edge

where I would fall from
