Like It Is

i hate when they be like

“no it’s not a windy day, the sun and air were battling it out”

why can’t life be written about as it is?

no it was a windy day

and the sky was an impressive color

and i wondered when this day with you was gonna end

but it didn’t

named after Yusef Lateef’s song, Like It Is (1968)
