Forest Green

My mind was an unripened plum Fertilized by violence, grown in the slums My pulse was a muted drum Absorbed by the pavement, heard by none But my heart was a forest green Sustained by the rivers that I chase in my dreams I run through the fields dressed in white Unstained by the poison that leaks from my mind My legs were tethered and bound Set free by the pieces of wisdom I found My skin grew calloused and rough Built up by the voices that said I wasn't enough But my heart is a forest green Sustained by the rivers that I chase in my dreams I run through the fields dressed in white Unstained by the poison that leaks from my mind Keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going Keep going My heart is a forest green Sustained by the rivers that I chase in my dreams And I run through the fields dressed in white Unstained by the poison that leaks from my mind
