IntensityxDuration=The Force of Impact 2

Listening to Zombie by Cranberries..    
      
Yea, so back to this one time      
We felt like we were      
Bad enough or grown enough      
To go up against      
My dance teacher      
Played on me for a while      
As a defining childhood moment      
Like yesterday;      
Epic fail      
She didn’t give a fuck      
About how      
Pitiful my face was hanging      
To the tune of      
Female harshness      
Calling me a brat      
Aloud basically    
(We were never going to beat her    
Just by the laws of physics;    
My blackness could not    
Leverage that truth either)    
Maybe      
She didn’t get laid the night before,      
On the rag      
Or we did something wrong:      
Never mind all the sentimental shit      
=      
It’s not always an easy task      
To separate      
Humor from ignorance;      
How to tell when someone is just      
Playing with you      
And when they’re serious:      
Your laughing when really      
The joke’s on you      
It happened relatively early;      
That we learned the difference but      
She was not      
Playing      
(Fucking around with me)      
This particular day      
And impressionable      
Took it personal like      
“Sexual Fallout ”      
We had never seen      
That type      
Of      
Brutality      
Lighting her eyes up      
With      
Recoiling silence      
Prepared to      
Ship me back      
To the Russians again      
     
(No hug, no smile, no tickle, no chase      
In the studio this time; uh      
Reflection thinks we need therapy      
From those hard wood floors      
A source of pride, envy, terror, trauma, change      
And let us not count the times death      
And damnation went      
Over my head-We don’t know how      
They teach the aerial nowadays but…)      
So, this was the second lesson      
That IDF taught me      
Considering we don’t want to      
Revisit this topic again      
We also learned that      
The other shoe can drop      
At any point.      
(Didn’t take much for a personality like mine to get the message)
