Broken Crayons (Spoken Word)

You probably passed by me today,
And heard me singing “Oh say can you see.”
You see me right?
I’m not hidden; I’m in plain sight.
It’s easy to think “not in my backyard, that’s overseas.
America, no, that’s in foreign countries.”
Yet it happened to me, and I was just 13.
I was free, but then I was caught up in modern-day slavery.
But a child, I was robbed.
Where is my innocence? Where is my sound?
California, Florida, Tennessee.
What about Georgia? Atlanta, how did I get to this city?
I was alone. I was tricked. I was trafficked.
Snatched from the streets, now I am working the streets.
But, I am more than a holler, more than a dollar;
More than a pick, more than a fix.
I am more. I am human.
I am a life, part of a movement.
I am within reach, not overseas.
Am I worth saving? Am I worth rescuing?
I’m surrounded by darkness, in need of shining light.
Broken crayons still draw; Restoration is my hope in sight.
