peak

she piqued my interest as she walked,

tightly coiled hair, defined black curls.

i peeked through the blinds to see more clearly,

rich dark skin, smoother than fine silk.

she piqued my interest as she cried,

clear pearls rolling, leaving trails glimmering.

i peeked through the blinds to see more clealy,

tightly held fists, tighter brows furrowed.

she piqued my interest as she screamed,

brown soft lips, white harsh words.

i peeked through the blinds to see more clearly,

gentle pastel clothes, wild edges unlaid.

she reminds me of the girl i saw on tv,

who faced accusations, discrimination, lack of recognition.

her career peaked when she was hated the most,

how ironic.

no, wait.

her career peak is actually now!

as she is falling,

falling from the edges.

falling like the stars,

in the sky in the tv in the rain.
