My ancestors gave me a power
that i can’t begin to understand
It’s like they knew
but how could they misconstrue
this power within me
Blood isn’t so loyal after all
to instill this pain so caved in within the cracks so that I wouldn’t find
to deceive me into believing that
what i was feeling was mine
they succeeded
within the cracks is where she resides
