Contexture: A Chain Of Keepsakes | Poem
by Ancestors through UsikuI placed keepsakes around my neck
The contexure I was much too young to assess
And too trusting to suspect
The ongoing effects
Of every concept
I began to collect I grew to love my chain of keepsakes
And still today, in some way
I keep adding to it
Though I clearly struggle under the weight
The cause and effects of these concepts
I have not yet begun to correlate
So I just do whatever it takes
Justify to hide thoughts and feelings
As cracks grow and my keepsakes break With decision-making determination
I keep on keeping on
Putting the same and all information
Into a falling apart contextual configuration
Proudly, in keeping with my education
Thought after thought process
I base on handed-down-to-me contexts
Even though they fail the highest tests
I still have not, as of yet
Taken time for my self, to inspect
I continue to accept it's okay to protect
My precious little keepsakes
My not so little keepsakes
Feelings for you I'll never forsake
You've been there every step I take
Your familiarity covers my behavior with blanket faith My thought patterns follow what contexts shape
Layer by layer my choices are made to fit
Even though many of them contradict
I chose not to edit my concepts or choices
Instead I ignore Nun's mirror image voices
Continue to choose to live for keepsakes
Rather than self-improve to understand
All the ways and things in my life
Context creates and dictates
