Let me begin
By asking when
Should circumstances
Demand I give my all?
When I’m sure of myself?
Completed my prayers while knelt?
And passed through the most
Holiest of halls?
For everything I do
Draws from resources so few
It’s not easy
Being me
Once a deed has been done
My composure weighs a ton
It becomes a burden
Just to act civilly
So I must make haste
And flee the public space
Forgive my sudden departure
I haven’t been invited to the rapture
The Space Between Me and You
