These Grounds I Walk On Poem by Jamelia Lane

You know nothing about these grounds I walk on

Along these grounds I walk on somewhere i came from

These grounds i walk on have been trashed, mistreated and spat on

These grounds i walk on have been misunderstood hurt and stepped on

These grounds I walk on no one understands unless they have been on them

They play with your emotions like a kid on a jungle gym

Huh these grounds i walk on trust was lost love was gone and rain strated pouring

So You cant tell me anything about these grounds i walk on until you've been on them

Until you see what my eyes have seen felt what my heart has felt or even hear what my ears have heard

Things about me will never be learned trust will never be earned stories unheard

Since you never try why open my mouth or part my lips to begin to tell you about theses grounds i walk on

so dont look back or even ask about it just move along becuase you will never know about theses grounds i walk on
