Even Though
by Carmen H Gray
Even though you push away
I swing and sway
Like seaweed to your saltwater
Yielding to the flow
Even though black is white
And wrong is right
I live outside
The worlds around me
For there exists
A brighter light
To guide my sight
Even though each fleeting choice
Has a livelong voice
That echoes from the past
A melody can transform anew
In complicit defiance
Rebellious silence
For one beat or two
