Excuse me
Excuse me.
I�m confused.
See, I feel lost and tossed,
Abused by the waves of a sea
That keeps me down,
Wants me to drown in dark, deep black
And blue,
Held back from anything
That might help me cope . . .
Like hope
Or air.
The despair of this ocean
Swallows me again,
And pain�-her pain�-bleeds through,
Stains my hands with shame
Of being white,
Of not trying,
Of not fighting to make right
For her.
