Petals In The Grass

I Own

Save your prayers
While I decay
There really is nothing
Left to say

Born into violence
I reflect
It's what my elders
Would perfect

Whip my legs
Whip my back
Such precision
Was their attack

In their eyes
I saw their distain
Left with nothing
Left with pain

In the streets
I walk alone
All these memories
That I own
