“The Cockatoo Sings His Song at Noon” khatoon Hazara ||| 1:45pm mon. 4/8/19

I’m a certain flower that you can’t ascertain 

And I can consume all of your flatulent blame

I want to dance with you 

I wanna fly

I wanna kick up the dust

When can I 

When can I

I’m a fairy, baby

I know no bounds

And I’ve been singing lately

About all the realms playground 

And the riming gets quite heavy

I don’t know what to do

Make it make sense

Does it make sense to you

I wanna swim in the sea

I’m craving the sun on my cheeks

I don’t wanna waste this life

I’m only 20

And it’s only 2019

S**t, it’s just the beginning

Mama and daddy can’t blame me for wanting some freedom

I’ve been on top now I wanna venture out of our kingdom

And I know they won’t let me so I won’t even ask

[Coz when I was in school I’d always need a hall pass

Just to go to the bathroom - they’d have two ... they’d ask you to carry both coz you were both in the hallway and in the bathroom

And now that seems childish

All of this sounds childish]

When can I let go

But I’ve let go already

When can I say no

But I’ve said no a plenty

When can I rev up

But I’m revved so hard

When can I wake up

It’s not even that dark

I wonder when I can eat the food that God gave to us

I wanna roam in a forest foraging like our ancestors does 

And the wording might seem off

But haven’t we suffered enough

My daddy says that life ain’t easy

He had a turbulent life of his own

My mama would like to agree

She had to journey to the unknown

And then I was born 

Well first my brother

And then I was born

And my sister was born

I-

I had-

I-

I had-

I had a lot of thoughts when I was younger but they were shut off coz I didn’t know any better

I should’ve held on to them

I should’ve known more than I did

But I didn’t

And so I let go of those thoughts

To cut this short

I made new ones

I cut off people that ruined my flow

I had to let them go

To grow

At first I was scared

Then I was afraid

And now I’m convinced 

I was very brave

Coz those were my friends

I’ll love them forever 

And now that they’re gone

It’s just whatever

They all come back

But when they do I’ll be all gone

They’ll say

“Who are you?”

And I’ll say

“Who are you?”
