Let it never be said
I came to this day
empty-headed:
that I confused the kind path
for the fast one.
Let it never be said
I came to this life
empty-handed:
that I dropped my heritage
to catch a mask.
Let it never be said
I came to you
empty-hearted:
that I took your blessings
and did not pass them on.
When it comes time,
let it be said,
though sometimes I spilled over
and made a mess,
I was never empty,
never empty,
never
empty.
