Shafika Is Singing

Shafika says, "Seems like I’ll always be singing
out of fear of pleonasm my octave keeps climbing
higher
Singing loudly undermines my style so I remain
equable not singing too low
But you don’t hear me though
Said I’m trying not to sing too low

To malcontent it moves me that he wants no more
than my body so my lips testify that he could have it
his way without my physical contributions
with someone else insatiable
His sights are set in the middle of my wings and his cerebration
is focused there instead
My attraction for him is intense but not pretentious
so my walls keep whispering no
And I try not to keep my song too low
But ya’ll don’t hear me
so I’m trying not to sing too low

Trying to forfend my dignity I sing a couple of
bars of "Heaven Help Me"
The song by George Micheals and Deon Esteus is the song
of my selection
Descriptive of the points my tongue
wants to make maybe then there will be no
need for me to pray

Cause it is by love I want to be swept away
Desirous of being obsessively and unequivocally
loved in variegated levels fighting tendencies
of becoming torpid eventually

Don’t want to fall prey to protean slavery
if he doesn’t want the complete packaging
Singing unfulfilled blues for payment
While he runs a junta victoriously holding my
heart in his hands
Gonna find myself singing again without
any idea whether this song might relate
Perchance someone hears this song somehow
Someone gonna hear my song somehow
