Harlem

Left Behind

I can ignore the blood under my feet

From glass, gravel, rocks, and concrete

No bigger pain can come to me

Than the one I\'ve craved to leave behind

Covered in lines

My feet helped me to divide the times

In which I found myself abused, broken, and mistreated

Tap, tap, tap to run

I\'m leaving a trail behind me

Needing the road to guide me \'til I\'m gone

I can ignore the sharp pains and raw blood

The shadowed tears and snapped hugs in the cold

I can ignore swollen ankles and sliced feet

Foot pains on the concrete, blank stares from the ones I meet 

They\'ll never understand

Where I just ran from

My feet took me way further than any car could

I can ignore just about anything in sight

Because nothing compares to the hate that I left behind
