Como Se Dice

Some things can't even be said in poetry

But I'll give it a shot

You are what I'm not

What I wish to be

Let me find the simile

Como se dice

She is my soul

Esta mi alma

She is my moon

Esta mi luna

And I can't find the words

At least in my language

I don't know how to say this

Let's try it in Spanglish

Like it feels

It feel so uncomfortable

Cause I'm so used to a ton of bull

So when it feels real

It feels so unbelievable

Feels

Like, like walking hand-in-hand with emo bands

Bangs over my eyes and girl pants

But it feels so God-breathed don't tease me

An unclear move of His Spirit, believe me

A struggle cause my own thoughts can be deceiving

A seething deception with evil inceptions

But it feels so, right

Which ironically don't feel right

Because it ain't ever felt right

You feel me, right?

But it feels like

Like trading brains with Maxwell

Or a Bilial or John Legend type sorta fellow

It feels like

Like overdrafts

And them kicks is bad

And she gotta have 'em

And she ain't ask for 'em

And it feels like

Like one of my organs was stolen

So when we ain't talkin' I feel unwhole and swollen

And my life was golden

You can ask the homie holdin'

He believed in me when no one came to see me

But it feels like

Like the future is far greater than I could have ever imagined

Like, how could this happen?

And it feels like

Like five miles outside of Canaan

Or Harriot Tubman when she first seen the Mason Dixon

Line that demarks the freedom

It feels like, like freedom

Like, like some things can't even be said in poetry

But I'll give a shot

You are what I'm not

What I wish to be

Let me find the simile

Como Se Dice

It feels like

Like it's impossible

For anything, anywhere, to be more important than this moment

Like I'm fittin' to bite Incubus lyrics

Like her mouth moves in slow motion when she sings

It's infinitely interesting

Como Se Dice

She is my soul

Esta mi alma

It feels like

Like all that around her fades to duo-tones

And she remains this vibrant CMYK

What can I say?

It feels like

Some things can't even be said in poetry
