When your day has been rougher than our slave ancestors hands and feet
When you can’t think of a single positive thing
When the world has you beat
Just get to me
Make your way to me so that I can wrap my arms around your frame
Simultaneously absorbing all of your pain
So that I can nurture you back to your high spirited self
Taking the “you” that I woke up next to off of the shelf
Dusting you off
Cleaning every crevice from the dirt of your day
Fuck the bills that you have yet to pay
Forget the sensitive opinions of your peers
Take off that censor that you put on to tiptoe around their fears.
Leave it at the door.
Be you, king
Let me release…that tension in your shoulders and neck
Let me rub the world news out of your back
Let me…
I said I want to pulverize the bricks you tote
All you have to do is
Just get to me…
