Rihanna’s designation as a national hero of Barbados, to coincide with the country’s transition to an independent republic, could not be more apt. Honoured by her newly republican country, Rihanna has always proudly worn her Bajan heritage – broadening her sound from her Caribbean roots, while staying true to them Barbados hails Rihanna ‘national hero’ as it becomes republic I hate to be cliché but you were the best choice I never made. The thirteen pounds of my head are now thirtyĪnd the footsteps I hear are louder because I'm coming back It's the only part of me that I have ever likedīut it's the speaking part of me that knows that this is temporaryīecause if I can only get out a word while I'm in this state

I feel some pain in the back of my neck and some in my thighsĪnd I keep on wondering is the end of this my demiseĪnd sure I can think when the fuzz in my head is thereīut life is so much better when the coast is clear.ĭoes that mean that I need more of that fear to run through me? I only have room for one other person in my mind.Īt least I know there's a little more to you Maybe more of this world would occur to me if I could keep my brain lowīecause when your brain decides to take one trackīecause maybe this is the only useful thing that I'll make in monthsĪnd I know that some of the words are spelled wrong I know some of the thoughts that keep digging into your brainĮven if for me it's broken words that all are to please you The only important thing right now is that it all lead to youĪnd maybe I can't believe myself or what I've been throughīut that's something I might not be able to do. Laughs whenever I try to think of SOMETHING and convince myself that I'm not that bad.Īnd I'm always up to letting it consume me Properly, probably because the shit inside of me I can barely fucking move and I can never react It's the only good thing that my messed up mind can makeĭisappear as soon as they've crossed my mindĮven if it's just my brain thinking it's greatĪt least that's something new from what I normally face.īecause of the pace my brain runs on ten thousand different tracks My entire being is a single train of thought. I fight the noise but it still consumes me. I can change my clothes but can I change your mind?Īm I really so insightful or is it all just a product of the haze I'm stuck in
